Murray had a busy day yesterday and he’s tired. Leo pushed himself up and out from between the two boys, slipping out of bed.“Pip,” Leo hushed, picking her up and trying to muffle her cries into his shoulder as he bounced her and carried her into the kitchen. They’d started trying to adopt two years ago when Leland had been only a year old and Philippa had come to them just a few weeks ago. Somehow the family felt like she’d filled the void they didn’t realize they had. Once she had something to eat, she was quick to settle down. Leo sat watching her dark eyes roam around, knowing she saw much worse than he did, but still wondering what her bluish eyes could make out in the dim lighting. It had been eight years since Leo had held a little girl in his arms. It felt a lot the same, but he felt significantly more confident this time around.When he sat the burping cloth aside, Philippa’s eyes were heavy and Leo knew how she felt. He laid back on the sofa and placed Philippa on his bare chest, rubbing her back soothingly until she settled.Murray found them an hour or so later and Leo woke up to the flash of the younger boy’s camera. His eyes focused on Murray and his arm reached over to brush through Murray’s hair. “Go to bed.”“It was cold without you and Rónán won‘t let anyone touch him and if he sleeps any harder he‘ll be snoring,” Murray complained. Leo laughed and tugged playfully on Murray’s dark locks. “I vote we make Rónán get up with them in the morning.”Murray nodded in agreement and carefully picked up Philippa up from Leo’s chest. “Rónán‘s gonna love us.”
