#Chapter78

Lucien got the odd shaped one. Ronan received the rectangular one. Because his buddy baby was so excited, and he was a good Mama Wo-Wo, he let Lucien open his first. They could have opened them at the same time but the funnest part about opening presents was sharing the joy with others. And when Lucien peeled back the pretties and pulled free a ginger and white tabby onesie, along with ears and a velcro tail. There were also gloves that were shaped like paws.

/"Daddy!/" Lucien squealed happily. /"I a puppy!/"

/"My kitty puppy,/" he confirmed. A rare smile uprooted the corners of his mouth, driving his expression into a heart-clenching mask of familiarity.

Angie and Birdie looked just the same, but because Angie-pie was so grouchy and moody, and always like grrrr, it was easy to tell them apart. But when he smiled, it was so lovely and pretty, and so very like his birdies.
