He watched as she ambled round the house. Her movements were aimless, gentle, soft. She didn't seem to have a purpose, merely the need to keep moving. Her face was open, like a new flower and she looked so serene it made him breathless for a minute. She didn't know he was watching, the shadows falling over him yet even if he had been in bright sunlight she wouldn't have known. Her sole focus was the little bundle in her arms.

Her head was bent over him, her hair forming a barrier between them and the world. He could hear a soft mewing, then almost too quiet to hear, she began to sing.

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

In the darkness he smiled at the portrait of his life from now on. Nothing made him happier than knowing he had them, and they had him. Finally he was a father again, and this time nothing could take them away from him.

Suddenly a loud cry rang out from the hallway. He stepped out of the shadows and smiled.

"I'll go." Abby smiled softly at him, nestling the almost sleeping baby against her again.

"Thanks." She whispered.

"Daddy, daddy, daddy." He peeped round the door at his daughter, sitting up in her bed. "Daddy." She sobbed. In a stride he was by her side, lifting her from her nightmare into the arms of safety.

"Shhh, it's okay now. Shush baby." She slipped her arms round his neck and sniffed as he carried her back to the living room.

"Well well, miss Amelia, why are you up?" Abby kissed her daughter on the cheek and smoothed her ebony hair. The two year old yawned, her nightmare almost forgotten at the excitement of being up so late, with mommy AND daddy AND the new baby.

"Want to come into mommy and daddy's bed, Meli?" Luka asked softly, catching his wife's eye.

"Yeah." Amelia said. "Even baby?"

"Baby's name is Danny, remember?" She nodded and gazed at her little brother.

Abby lay Danny in his crib by the side of the bed, and climbed under the covers. Amelia wriggled over to her side and curved into her mother, already half asleep. Luka chuckled and slid in too, moving so Meli was between them both.

"I love this…I love them…I love you." He said simply. Abby's eyes fluttered as she attempted to stay awake. "Go to sleep, I'm here." He stroked her cheek. "I'm always here."
