Chapter 24: Gratitude and Love

Three years later....

"Come down from there right now," I yelled up at Xavier who hung from the ceiling fan as it wobbled and spun around from his weight. "If you break that again, your father will take away your bear."

Xavier pouted, looking so much like Knox my heart squeezed.

His sister, Julia, giggled. Her blue eyes ringed with silver shone in the early morning sun.

"Come on now, help me make breakfast." I reached up and tugged on Xavier's foot.

He squealed with delight, then hopped down. Both of their wings were the soft shade of black like their father's, but their horns were much smaller than his. Xavier's eyes were the opposite of his sister's with silver throughout and a dark blue ring around them.

"How are my little ones today?" Knox's voice boomed as he entered.

The twins dove through the air at their father and I smiled, rubbing my swollen belly. Our new son would be arriving in a few months and I couldn't wait to kiss his sweet face.
