I'm everything I am
because you loved me
- 'Because You Love Me' by Celine Dion
ABCs of Love
Xander
X is for Xander
"Come on Papa Eric, it's time to hold Xander."
Eric quickly started to protest, "Tim, I don't know anything about babies," but found himself holding Tim's son.
Tim laughed, his eyes twinkling. "You'll learn." He glanced at his son; he was so innocent, so pure, so trusting. A year ago his ex-wife, Calleigh, died in a crime scene. He missed her but knew he has a part of her in their son. "He looks like Calleigh, don't you think?"
Eric studied Xander, "Of course, Eric." He paused, "Do you think this is right?"
Tim glanced at Eric. He couldn't believe how much things had changed for them; he was a widower with a child but found support and love from someone he never expected. He went behind Eric wrapping his arms around his waist.
"Yes, Eric. This is perfect." He held his two loves close to him, "We're a family."
