Alistair listened as his wife and her brother spoke of the many happy times they had spent with their family. It pained him to think of the heartache that Elissa and Fergus must have felt after losing them. However, Alistair was also slightly jealous. He had never known the love of a family. Often he wondered what it would have been like if he had grown up with his parents and siblings.
Interrupting their conversation, he asked, "What's it like?"
"What's what like?" Fergus responded with a confused look on his face.
"To have a family?"
"A family" Elissa started, "is people who you love and love you back."
"A family helps you through the hard times and rejoices with you in the good times." Fergus told him.
"They lift you up when you fall down." Elissa said. "They warm you when you're cold, dry your tears when you cry, and calm your fears when you are frightened. They are always there for you. No matter what"
"That sounds wonderful." He said as he smiled and placed his hand upon his wife's swollen belly. And he knew here with his wife, his unborn child, and his new brother, that he had finally found his family.
