*Mac was strolling along in the arboretum, pushing Erryn in her stroller. His wife was with her grandmother, Riona. Mac had never met her, but was anxious to do so. Any family of Alex's was his family too.*
*He nodded and held his son close.* I just can't get over how big and strong he is! He was nothing but a skeleton with skin stretched over it. He was so weak, when he cried no sound came. And that was when he had the strength to even try. *A tear escaped from his eye as he kissed his son's tiny head again.* He's truly been given new life.
*Mac laughed, then rocked his son gently as he was startled by Erryn's squeal.* I guess she approves. Hopefully she always approves of him, and learns to, perhaps, love him as a brother.
