Victor jogged up the stairs of Wesley’s front door. Stopping just short he took a deep breathe as he did his best to gather his nerves. With hands shaking he held the gift on one hand and rang the doorbell with the other.

The first time seeing the man since they both nearly died he closed his eyes and took several more deep breaths as he waited for Wesley to answer. Smiling softly when the door open and he was face to face with him.

Victor laughed as Kevin ran up to them in his mouse ears and holding his Donald Duck stuffed toy “Can we go on the teacups?” he asked “Let’s have your food settle first and then we’ll see” Kevin smiled “You’re gonna come with us too, right Uncle Wes?”

Kevin sat on the chair as he watched Victor make the last of the beds “So Weswey is coming?” he asked as he swung his legs back and forth, obviously excited.

“Yeah, and Julian. You remember him right?” Victor asked and Kevin nodded “He was really quiet” he answered. “He’s just nervous and that means we’ll have to be on our best behavior okay?” Kevin nodded “Okay” he told him “and you make chocolate chip cookies tonight, right?”

Hearing the doorbell Victor smiled and ruffled Kevin’s hair “Sure,buddy” Pushing down his nerves he walked over and opened the door with a smile “You made it”
