Children

At this time, Althea and Garan were not the only ones dealing with children. 

Currently Eugene was on leave and comforting Melissa in her home with Theodore, whom she also fell in love with. 

Little Theodore simply had a special calming effect, a natural talent to comfort broken adults.

"I'm sure your brother will be fine, boss and Rowan alone could deal with those monsters easily." He said as he patted her shoulder as she leaned against him. 

Although was still in pain from the death of his lover, he couldn't bring himself to avoid his first love.

She only nodded and sighed, picking up little Theo who was finally finished playing with his toys and was asking for hugs.

Or knowing him, rather than asking for hugs, he was giving it to those in need.

It was Eugene before, and now it was Melissa. 

She embraced the child's warmth and patted his soft little head. She slightly turned her head to look up at Eugene.
