Aurelia choked back a laugh, playfully pinching William’s chubby cheeks standing before her.
"You're not from a single-parent household. Arnold and Leopold are blood brothers, and we're all one big happy family."
Aurelia and Leopold were back together, so what single-parent nonsense was he on about? He was just refusing to regard Leopold as his father.
William stuck out his tongue and made a face, "How about this? Let's have a get-together like this every week. Mommy can bring Kane, and Aunt Lisa can tag Nova along. That way, neither Nova nor I will feel like we're the pitiful kids from single-parent homes."
Aurelia chuckled, "Of course, we can do that."
William turned to Lisa with hopeful eyes, "Aunt Lisa, is that okay?"
"Sure, as long as your dad's good with it." Lisa glanced at Arnold tentatively.
Not wanting to let William down, Arnold reluctantly nodded.
"As long as William and Nova are happy, I'm good."
Nova seemed to catch on to the conversation, clapping her chubby little hands and giggling with delight.
The DNA test results for Raines and Skyler were in. The report confirmed a biological relationship between the two, but they were not identical twins.
"Could we have been mistaken? Is he really Raines and not Geoffrey?"
Leopold's long fingers tapped on the desktop thoughtfully, "It's possible that Geoffrey and Skyler aren't identical twins after all."
Aurelia was taken aback, "Fraternal twins? He claimed he and Skyler were spitting images of each other. Was he just lying?"
Geoffrey was always hiding behind a mask, skulking around, the truth of his appearance left to conjecture.
Leopold stroked his chin, his deep eyes glimmering in the light.
"Looks like I need to run another DNA test." He said.
