Santiago POV: Age - 24
Adam and I arrive to the hospital quickly as our child is already born. We both arrive from work and we rush up to see our baby boy. We see him on his own crib and we just look at him.
-He's cute.
A-Our son Santi, our son.
-There are not enough words to describe this feeling but is good.
A-Very good. You made it.
-We did.
We keep watching him and eventually the doctor comes and he allows us to get our son after he gives us all the paperwork and everything we need to fill. We stay the night there and for three days we stay there until we finally can take him home. He gets our son and I get the bags and paperwork. As we go out I see a familiar person. I stop and so I look again. I don't realize I called him out loud until he responds.
Koray-Santi? Santiago.
-What are you doing here?
Koray-My wife and I, we're having our second daughter but enough, what are you doing here?
-Getting my newborn son home.
I look around and finding Adam I call him over to me.
-Adam, come here a moment. Cousin, this is my husband Adam and our son, Liam.
Koray-Liam. Cute little boy.
-Hopefully our kids grow together too.
Koray-Yes, hopefully.
We share a hug and we speak softly.
Koray-Say hi to everyone on my behalf.
-I will.
Koray-Go enjoy your son. You'll both see is an incredible thing.
-Thanks. I'll see you soon.
I squeeze him tighter and harder in the hug before I finally leave to go home with my family.
As we go home we call the family to meet us there and as expected when we arrive they're already there. As we park and get out Soleil is the first one to come greet us and the baby. She looks at me for a brief moment before she looks at Liam again smiling brightly.
-Are you done admiring him?
Soleil-No. He's just so cute, too cute.
She laughs as she shows her aura to the baby but we are all shocked when Liam shifts and moves and an aura of his own comes towards her, searching, shapeless and curious.
Soleil-Can I charge him?
Adam and I share looks before I sigh and he hands her our son. I open the door to the house and they all go in. Adam goes in last and he sneaks a kiss out of me before he goes inside and I go in after him.

Koray POV: Age - 33
I am home one night, a week after my wife's death from childbirth and I'm watching over both of my daughters as they sleep. I consider all of my options and being too painful being here I start to fix everything and making all the necessary changes in my life. It doesn't take long but by the end of the month everything is fixed and done to go so I dress my daughters and I leave to the airport. We are moving from the big fields of Virginia to the big city of Tokyo Japan. Is a big change but I'm sure we can adapt quickly. Especially because the girls are still small and they can adapt very quickly, faster than me but I will try and I'm sure this will work out for the best.
Once on the plane I have to hold and ensure both of my daughters to calm down when the plane starts the engine.
Solange-Daddy, that's loud.
-Don't worry, is only while it starts flying.
Sol-Was mom be afraid of the noise?
-Not really, why?
Sol-To be like her or better.
I chuckle and I hold her closer to me.
-You are brave already.
Sol-Can I sleep?
-Sure. Is a long trip. Very long.
I help her catch her pillow and blanket on her backpack and she falls asleep quickly. I care for them for a while, I stand up and walk a little to stretch my legs and I go to the bathroom several times. Some for myself and others to change Zelenia. Solange wakes up, eats and sleeps again and after that while I fall asleep too.
I wake up later and I sit up alarmed when I don't feel my daughter in my arms. I turn to look and Solange is not here either. I look around as everyone is still sleeping and with a sigh I get up and I look around. I only feel relieved when I find that the girls are with the flight attendants. Solange sits on the lap of one, Zelenia is being held by another one and the other two are just looking content as they all speak. Solange is the first to see me and she smiles waving brightly at me.
Sol-Daddy, hi.
-Hi.
She gets to me and I hug her back before I check her.
-Are you alright? Do you feel alright?
Sol-Yes dad.
-What happened?
Sol-I was bored and then she woke up but I can't help her.
-They helped you with her.
She nods and I smile.
-Go back to your seat. I'll be right back with you.
She nods and I watch as she goes back to our seat and I smile when she sits down and waves from at me from her seat. I turn back to the ladies and I ask.
-Was she good? Did anything happened?
?-She's good. Only changed and slept her again.
-That's good, thanks.
I carefully take Zelenia from her and she doesn't hesitates at all. I go back to my seat and with my daughters.

Mekal POV: Age - 57
I am at home with my son and his family and we're out in the garden having fun and playing happy. They boys are 6 and 2 now and they are very good kids. They stay with their mother as he comes towards me.
Aibek-Hey dad, I thought Mako was going to join us.
-He was going to come but he got finals coming so he's still at the library studying.
Aibek-He really is responsible.
-I know and I'm proud of him.
Aibek-But?
-I would like to speak more with him, share more quality time with him. I feel like I don't know him anymore.
I shrug and silence falls until I hear him sigh poking my curiosity.
-What's on your mind?
Aibek-I was thinking when I could visit my cousin Koray. Is been a while since I last saw him.
-Ha. Your uncle and I always thought that you and Koray would never, ever, be apart or even not know where the other was.
Aibek-Do you know where he is?
-No. Call your uncle and ask him.
Aibek-Maybe later. I'll call Koray directly too, maybe............
His sentence is cut off when something quick and big jumps on top of him and they stumble down to the grass together. I jump to help but I stop when I notice what's happening. Aibek laughs as the dog licks his face. Slowly he sits up and gets the dog calm and seated.
-Are you alright?
Aibek-Yes, just surprised.
T-Aibek? Are you alright?
Aibek-Yes. He's a friend.
She keeps playing with the boys and he comes back to me a bit more serious.
Aibek-This is Koray's dog.
I look at him and I take something from is collar.
-He has a gift letter.
Aibek only shrugs and so I read it.
-Aibek, take care of him. I trust you and that's all it says.
He only curses under his breath before he grabs the letter from me and reads it himself before he curses again.
-Aibek?
Aibek-Not now. Just, not now.
I look as he takes his wife aside from the kids and I suspect what it is about but I don't interfere and I look as Aibek gets in the car and he goes away.

Aibek POV: Age - 32
I drive to where my cousin lives and I find everything clean and as if no one lives there. I look around for a bit on the garden before I knock. Stupid, I know but I still do another stupid thing but good when I find that the door is open. I go in and I check his room first.
-Koray. Are you here? Koray. Solange, are you here? Koray, Solange.
Is only until the third time that I check the house that I notice the small details. They're clothes are missing, the water is not running, the gas is not on, nothing on this house is working. The pictures are gone, most of the furniture is gone, the house is almost completely empty and somehow my entire being feels empty as well. Is only when I manage to calm down that I remember and so I go to another place, maybe he's sleeping at the store and I am glad when I find the store open and running. I go in and as I go to the counter I ask the worker there.
-Hey, do you know the owner of this store?
?-No but I know who's in charge. Right this way.
I follow him to the office but I soon realize the store is a dead end because the office that should've been his is also different. His decorations are also not here either. After the pet store I look for him everywhere he could be but he's nowhere to be found and the worst part is that he's not answering his phone either. Dad sends me a message that he'll take my wife and kids home. I reply simply thanks but I stay out for a while longer. When I finally go home I pass each room checking the boys. I smile as they are sleeping deeply and peacefully. Going to my room I find that she's still awake, waiting for me, watching videos on the desk as she writes on a notebook. I keep looking at her as she writes blushing away when she smiles at me on her reflection of the mirror.
T-Why the face?
-What face? Is the same as always.
She pulls me to face her and I try to avoid her gaze even though she doesn't let me.
T-What got you so sad?
-Not now please, not now.
T-What do you want then?
-Sleep. Just sleep and forget today.
T-Come here then, the bed is waiting for you.
I chuckle at that but I still follow her to bed and so I fall asleep within her embrace.

One year later
Santiago POV: Age - 25
I am at home and we are celebrating my son Liam's first birthday. Sunniva and Siria are crazy with Liam as they play with him on the floor. Dad is getting dinner ready for later and Soleil is on her way here. Adam is at the restaurant still working, maybe he's already on his way here but I don't mind. I sigh and so I go in the kitchen and I help dad cook dinner.
Senshi-Liam is growing up well.
-I know. Sometimes I think I'm doing good and others I feel like I'm doing everything wrong.
Senshi-Are you worried you feel like that?
-I do worry on most occasions. I worry if I'm a good dad or a bad one.
Senshi-I had my own doubts when you were younger.
He sighs and so I listen as he keeps speaking.
Senshi-I never thought of love or sex or anything at all until the day I met your mother. She was ten years younger than me but that was not a problem for us. When we got engaged that we started planning our life, we were excited and very eager to have you kids.
-But?
Senshi-Well, we got you and you were so very loud and impatient and you had so much energy in you. I don't know how I survived the worry when you started walking and then running and playing. We were both on edge wondering if you were going to hurt yourself. When we got your sisters it was chaotic, a mess and we definitely got as much help as we could especially for you and Soleil. It was hard but we pulled through and now I'm glad of who you are right now.
-Really?
Senshi-Sure, you're a good son. A good brother. A good man and person. A good father and I'm sure you're also a good husband. Now let me finish alone and go greet your sister Soleil and your husband.
He points to them as they enter and I smile and go greet them.
