Liam was happy. He had amazing new brothers and an adorable baby sister that was probably going to annoy the crap out of him in a few weeks – but he still found her cute. He was looking forward to playing with his baby brothers and showing them the ropes of Cour des Miracles. It had been an amazing week so far and as Liam entered the house, he'd had a glint in his eyes that seemed to express all of the emotions he was feeling.
Now sitting next to his mom and the furry squirming balls, Liam glanced at his mother when she stated rather than asked if he was happy. It was that obvious? He just shrugged, his paw moving over to softly stroke Lottie's back before he withdrew, as if he was scared to burn the little girl with his touch. Clearly he wouldn't. Mom things are good. You're good and the pups are good... He knew his mother was also thinking about Noah. These last few days, Liam had wondered where his brother was and what he would think of the pups – of his brothers and sister.
Unlike his mom though, Liam wasn't as optimistic. He wasn't sure his brother was ever coming back. When he'd said goodbye a few months ago, he'd seemed really upset and dead set on leaving without ever coming back. He wasn't going to say anything to his parents though, deciding that this moment should be treasured as a good memory with Skoll, Hati and Lottie.
