All familiar characters are Janet's.
The Sunday of the christening/baptism turned out exceptional. Sunlight's making the stained-glass windows glow, our parents are tolerating each other, and Tank looks fucking ridiculous in a suit holding a white candle the same length as his middle finger. But he didn't bitch about being here.
To prevent inter-family arguing, Steph and I named him and Ella as Olivia's Godparents. He helped me survive my past, and will ensure Olivia thrives in the future. And Steph sees Ella as the mother she wished she'd had. They also satisfy the church's requirements, since they attend Mass whenever they can.
Olivia is heart-stopping in a white satin gown ... her dark eyes, caramel-colored skin, and near-black hair curling along the stretchy white headband, were accentuated by the pristine nature of the color and outfit. I suddenly understood what Niko had been asking me. I'm in serious trouble here. When Olivia screamed as water was poured on her head, I had to stop myself from crushing the priest's airways for startling her.
