A Little Surprise

"Y-you wanted to see me, Chancellor Sheppard?"

"Ah, hello, Syrus," Sheppard said cheerfully. "Actually, it's not me who wants to see you. Your brother got here a few hours ago, and he wanted to see you first."

"Zane's back? Really?" The younger Truesdale's eyes lit up.

"Shhhhh!" Zane spun his chair to face Syrus. "Keep it down."

"Sorry, Zane," Syrus replied. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to be teaching here."

"And," chimed in Sheppard. "There's something else he has to tell you."

Zane scooted close to Syrus, who caught a glimpse of a small bundle in his brother's lap. "I wanted you to know before anyone else."

Syrus leaned over to look, and his eyes widened. Wrapped inside a blue blanket was an infant, fast asleep. Zane smiled.

"His name is Liam, and as of two weeks ago, he's my foster son."

"Wow," Syrus breathed. There wasn't much else he could say.
