Everyone has their own paradise.
The small house was full of people. And why wouldn't it be, today? Today was special.
Angelo was walking carefully towards the kitchen. There were smiling faces on all sides, friends and distant family, everyone he'd ever known and cared for, but he was only paying real attention to the babies in his arms and the woman at his side. The twins, and Amanda.
Finally, he reached the kitchen and stopped in the doorway as a cheer went up, not even trying to control the grin on his face. There were his mother and father, smiling proudly and already reaching to ask for a hold of the babies. Moira and Nathan with the same proud and happy expressions, at the table. Rachel running over to peer curiously at the little newcomers. And Alejandra and Miguel, well and happy and unscarred.
It couldn't be better.
