Welcome Home

[young_miranda]

For those of you new residents, you probably are wondering what the sudden banners and rain of confetti is all about (and why, when you stand under the confetti, it changes you colors) but it's clear it's welcoming someone home.

"Welcome Home Miranda"
banners are hung everywhere.

Miranda has been away for nearly two weeks now. She's finally coming home but she's not alone…

He wasn't expecting that. He thought maybe she might want help keeping him from knowing or just keeping him away.

To be perfectly honest, he's not even sure his brother is going to be alive by the time Sylvia is old enough to start asking questions. What they tell her might very well be the truth by then.

He nods, doesn't mention what he's thinking. It's still pretty hard for him to face the idea that his brother may have to die to protect many other lives.

"If you think that's what's best... I won't tell her otherwise."

"Thank you… I'm sorry I had to ask that of you…"

She shakes her head slowly. It was wrong of her. She shouldn't be asking such things of him. The baby fusses and she remembers why she called him over in the first place.

"Um, Cole… Would you mind holding her? J-just for a bit?"

"Ah?"

The request surprises him. "Hold her..? Oh. Okay... I think I can do that."

But she'll have to show him how probably. He's never held a baby before.
