As the tiny infant squirmed peacefully in his sleep, a small smile tugged at the corners of Maureen's lips. She slowly moved her hand so that it caressed his downy hair, her fingers gently stroking the black strands. This baby--her most beautiful creation--was perfect.

Her fingers' movement froze as two tiny eyes--as blue as twin sapphires--blinked open. When his two eyes met her gaze, she laughed.

"My precious Francis, it truly appears as if there is nothing of your da in you."

She leaned down to kiss his forehead, missing the way his eyes glowed red for just an instant.
