"Where's Fraulien Maria father?" Little Gretl could just be heard from the middle of the family group. They were all hugging each other tightly in the middle of the room. Gretl, being the smallest, had managed to get herself in the centre where she was hugging her father around the middle. Everyone eased out a little when they realised she could be squished. Georg stooped and picked up his youngest child, holding her close.
"What was that again sweet pea?" He asked as he swung her round, making her squeal in delight.
"Where's Fraulien Maria?"
Georg stopped dead when he remembered the distressed woman that was upstairs. He needed to make sure she was alright. After all, she had given him back his children.
"Wait here, I'll go find out where she is." He passed Gretl to Leisl and left the room.
