Baby rushed forward and threw her arms around Elliot.
Holding her close, Elliot’s face softened with affection. “Evan and I missed you too, Baby.”
He then looked up, nodding a greeting to Tarquin, Emmett, and Elijah.
Tarquin had already heard the news on the way back, so seeing Elliot and Evan wasn't a surprise. It just broke his heart.
Bernard’s passing had hit the two boys incredibly hard.
It was their first time facing the death of a loved one, and it had happened while he and Elysia were away.
“Mom…” Emmett and Elijah said, looking at Elysia and Evan with concern.
Elysia wiped her tears, then gently wiped Evan’s away too.
“No more crying,” she said softly. “You’ve been gone for so long, and we’ve missed you like crazy. We should be happy now that you’re back.”
Baby pulled away from Elliot and tugged on the hem of Evan’s shirt, looking up at him with a pout. “Evan…”
Evan took a deep breath and managed a watery smile. “I’m okay, little sis. I just missed you all so much.”
He scooped Baby up and spun her around a couple of times. “Did you miss me?”
Baby nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes! I missed you a ton!”
Evan chuckled. “I brought you a present.”
Baby’s eyes lit up. “What kind of present?”
“I’ll go get it for you,” Evan said, then glanced at Emmett and Elijah. “And I’ve got something for you two, as well.”
As the kids ran over to the couch to see their gifts, Elysia stood up and took a deep breath.
