"Longshot left food on the table?" John teased as he walked past the couch to take a seat in a nearby chair. He watched the twins in their playpen with their bottles. Aiden was holding his like a monkey, lying on his back with his feet up in the air and the bottle end propped up on them. Hana lay on her side watching her Mommy and Daddy through the side of the playpen.

Robbie and Miyuki had gotten their food and taken up a corner of the room for themselves. Lisa was nowhere in sight. Also conspicuously absent was Gloria Jean. No surprises there.
