Welcoming Hearts.
They stood in front of the Heathrow's estate gate.
"This is where my aunt, Uncle and their family lives. Our family lives." Williams smiled and then beckoned everyone forward walking inside psst the bowing guards.
Big brother..... an exited and sweet voice reached their ears, followed by a girl of around 7 running towards them. Williams who was in the lead, smiled and spread his arms, tried to hug the girl, who darted and jumped into Alans arms. Alan lifted her and swung her around few time before holding her in his arms.
"Hi Rose," Alan smiled warmly. Rose held onto his neck hugging him and said, " I missed you so much big brother."
Williams sighed, "you always favor him. You little...." he playfully swat at her bottom.
Pouting she turned her head, "I am not little girl. I am a big girl now brother Wil." Rose said with indignation.
Brother Al, brother Wil, they heard another voice and Lilly ran towards them and hugged Alan.
Hey, why is that everyone here so obsessed with this guy. Am I invisible or am I not your brother too.... " William said in mock anger making Rose giggle. Lilly smiled and hugged him too. "Now that's what I like to see ." He made a poker face at Rose and teased her.
Alan, Williams you are here, they saw a group of people walking toward them from the entrance door.
The boys also started walking towards them.
"Ah... we got guests, welcome everyone. It's so nice to see that our boys had made friends, whome they could bring home at last." John said smiling.
The four boys bowed respectfully to the elders in front of them.
Williams started to introduce their family members to their friends. "Guys, this is our great uncle George, head of the Heathrow's and Great aunt Mary.
This is Uncle Andrew and Aunt Elena. This is our grandfather John Morgan, as you all know by now he is one of the most infamous person of our academy."
"Hey you rascal, I was the most celebrated and most famous person in my Academic days." John glared at Williams. "Ouch.... he rubbed his head turned around to see Helen glaring at him.... "Alright alright I am the second most famous person after your husband OK." He asked making everyone laugh.
"This is our sweet grandmother Elizabeth and Helen." Williams smiling hugged both. Meet my parents James and Jean. Williams concluded.
Ouch.... he started rubbing his shin and jumping on one leg. "You forgot about me, Rose said angrily," trying to kick him again.
Smiling Alan picked her up in his arms Saying, "Let me introduce you to my cousin, the most important and adorable person of both Heathrow's and Morgan's family. Lady Rose Heathrow. Williams started laughing loudly at Alans extravagant but accurate description of Rose's position in their family.
Their four friends smiled and bowed to Rose addressing her with, " Greetings my lady". This made Rose blush and made everyone else laugh happily. Then Alan put his right hand on Lilly's shoulder, " and this is my lovely cousin Lilly, Rose's elder sister." Blushing, Lilly hugged him from the side happily.
The boys felt touched to see the family bonding and understood why these two were so happy to come back home.
Everyone, this is Benjamin - Ben, from Emberfall town.
This is Bobby - Bob, from Swan Lake town.
David - Dave, from Solaris town.
And Christopher-Chris, is from Winden city.
Alan introduced everyone.
Nice to meet you all boys. I hope you all will be as famous as me in the future. John grinned mischievously.
"Don't be so self obsessed John." Elizabeth nudged his side making everyone grin.
Christopher, you are from Winden city then. May I know where do you live. George asked curiously.
Chris felt a pang in his chest as he had no family or home to talk about he earned his keep by working and learning at various healing halls since he lost his parents.
Williams observing Chris's expression, put his hand on his shoulder and started telling his story to everyone.
Everyone was touched by his story. Are you the child of Louis and Victoria? George asked in surprise. Chris who was feeling a bit low at that moment lifted his head hearing his parents name, and noded his head.
Child be proud of your parents. They were heroes of this city. They had saved more than 50 children from smugglers. Many of those were my friends grandchildren and children's.
"You have nothing to feel bad about kid. Consider yourself one among us." George walked and patted his shoulders.
Chris looked at him and then looked around, there was no resentment or any disdain in anyones eyes which he was used to see in many of the wealthy people when they saw a homeless boy like him. Everyone there had a warm and welcoming smile on their face.
Tears started flowing from his eyes. He didn't made any sound but the tears still flowed freely.
Understanding his feelings. Everyone went and greated him on his patted his back or shoulder making him feel better than he had ever felt after his parents demise more than 6 years ago.
Well lets get inside the house lads, we have our dinner waiting for us. Mary smiled and beckoned everyone inside.
