He looked at the second boy.
Then the third.
And the realization hit him like a lightning bolt.
They looked exactly like him.
Daniel whispered, his voice trembling.
“Emma… whose children are these?”
Emma didn’t answer immediately.
Instead, she gently pulled the boys closer.
The smallest one held onto her coat.
Daniel’s voice grew firmer.
“Emma.”
She finally looked up.
Tears shimmered in her eyes.
“They’re yours.”
The words landed like thunder.
Daniel felt the air leave his lungs.
“My… what?”
“The boys are yours,” Emma repeated quietly. “All three.”
