"Nothing beats a family..."

Who: Lewis Sheldon, Lorenzo Chevalier, Emily Cole, Angela Ashwood, Lincoln Cole and Clint Chevalier
What: Bad news hits
Where: Lorenzo & Lewis' place
When: After THIS, evening
Lewis found himself quite tired that night after work. It had been a long week, and Holly had been unsettled through the nights, so it was taking its toll. He was fantasising about getting home, taking a shower and flopping into bed with Lorenzo... and possibly Holly, depending on how she had been through the day. Lorenzo said she had been a bit unsettled with Nat at the daycare too, which was unusual. Sometimes with a bub, though, it was just the way it was. Parenting wasn't always a smooth ride and all cutesy cuddles and 'LOOK AT HOW PERFECT MY BB IS'. Some days, you felt like you were failing all over the place. That was life.
What he didn't expect was to come home to the whole brood sitting around the living room looking like someone had just died. Or at least, the girls looked like that. Clint and Lincoln weren't even sitting together, but they didn't seem to know what was going on. When Lewis got in Lorenzo came over to him and gave him a kiss, handing Holly over to him for his welcome home cuddles he got every night.
He smiled at her as he took her and kissed her head. "Hello, sweetiepie. Have you been a good girl for daddy, or are we all going to end up with migraines tomorrow?" he asked in a soft, gentle tone. He looked from Lorenzo to everyone else, rubbing Holly's back as she nuzzled right in against him. "What's going on?"
