Wade moaned softly at the sight of the time on the microwave. He had promised to be back home before bedtime. He frowned. He wasn't soft at all. He didn't have to answer to a kid.
"Check this out." John said with a soft laugh.
It had been her first day of school, and he had been gone before it started and got back way after it ended. But right there, against the fridge was a consolation prize.
She drew them a picture. The words 'My Family' was written in a six-year old hand writing, above the picture.
All of them were there. Victor's stick figure looked like he was wearing a dress, probably the coat. Zero had stick like L's all over his figure. Chris's stick figure had a little light bulb in his hand. Fred's was bigger than everyone else and looked like he had massive rocks for hands. There was a hat on the one that belonged to John. James looked like he had fire for hair. Stryker's figure looked normal. Wade's looked like he had horns on his shoulders. And little Jamie stood with her bunny and pink dress next to him.
He hadn't known that Victor was considered part of the family. But he guessed it made sense.
He sighed, unconsciously traced his fingers down the little stick figure Jamie and walked out. Suddenly not very hungry at all.
"Poor kid." Chris's words were the last thing he heard as he left the room.
