Kara paused in the doorway to their bedroom, lifting her mug of coffee with a smile. Danny was tiptoeing around the bed, pretending not to notice the large, giggling them in the middle.
"I do think that Frankasaurus may have escaped, oh darn, no breakfast for me." The giggling grew louder, and Danny paused, tipping his head to the side. "Strange! I hear that sound again. I wonder what ..." An instant later he pounced on the bed, fingers outstretched. "Got him!"
Frankie's scrambled out of the covers, shrieking with laughter. Danny caught him, lifting the child and swinging him in the air before dropping him back on the bed. "I am the ultimate dinosaur fighter!"
"Mommy, mommy!" Frankie shouted. "Daddy and I are dinosaurs. Are you a dinosaur?"
Kara fought a swell of tears at the sight of Frankie and Danny — both so happy. "Not today, sweetheart. But I do have breakfast ready, and then we can open gifts."
To Kara's surprise, neither Danny nor Frankie moved at the mention of gifts. Instead, they exchanged looks and Frankie drew himself to his full height. "First, you have to come shake the dinosaurs' hands. It's the rule."
Suspecting what was coming, Kara set her coffee down and approached the bed cautiously. And, sure enough, moments later, she found herself flying as Danny lifted her, dropping her onto the bed. "Dinosaur attack!"
Giggling, Frankie jumped onto the bed, his hands scrambling to tickle her. And through the laughter, Kara managed to meet Danny's eyes.
"I'm glad you came home."
