“I saw a little girl about three or four peering out from behind the angel, and he was holding a baby in his arm. I’m guessing six or eight months old.”596Please respect copyright.PENANAu1fQA1Shty

Morris was slack-jawed.596Please respect copyright.PENANAU3dUJc5dPF

“Do you have any idea what’s going on?” Grace was breathing hard.596Please respect copyright.PENANAZoCHzt1Eld
596Please respect copyright.PENANA4cQeXeQ6t1
“No, I don’t.” Morris appeared to be as mystified as she was.596Please respect copyright.PENANA2kgxpjZiFJ
596Please respect copyright.PENANAWHzJ2LB9L9
“What are you going to do?”596Please respect copyright.PENANA692DcZBi5s
596Please respect copyright.PENANAbM4Th8NJ0V
“I don’t know, my dear. Were you able to speak to him?”596Please respect copyright.PENANA5kQqEBeiIq
596Please respect copyright.PENANA3VoXWCpNXQ
“No … I was so surprised at the sight of the children, I came right down to you.”596Please respect copyright.PENANA3SnvE0jhDt
596Please respect copyright.PENANANkEaf3ndvQ
They both saw motion at the loft railing and looked up. “Oh, my dear God.” murmured Grace.596Please respect copyright.PENANA52uiTLUdSn
596Please respect copyright.PENANAbkrJB8lrS8
“This has never happened before,” Morris whispered. “Let’s go up and see if he’ll speak.”596Please respect copyright.PENANAgZuzetz89I
596Please respect copyright.PENANA0bGGIBE6R2
They stopped at a comfortable distance from the Angel so as not to alarm him. “Will you tell us who you are?” Grace whispered.596Please respect copyright.PENANAR7FtHgCT8K
596Please respect copyright.PENANAAZPoBHNM6s
The Angel nodded and moved closer. “You may call me Thomas.”596Please respect copyright.PENANA4DhoGk4qfP
596Please respect copyright.PENANAkTmxMVLXF4
Grace was struck by the Angel’s melodious voice. “But that’s not your true name … is it?”596Please respect copyright.PENANAvNY0wcyocF
596Please respect copyright.PENANAkcVJQ5yTub
“No. It is better you do not know my real name.”596Please respect copyright.PENANA3rkRDivyhR
596Please respect copyright.PENANAwStuE0eX5N
“Ok, Thomas, I have no problem with that … but what of the children? Who are they?”596Please respect copyright.PENANAmVkc946rAb
596Please respect copyright.PENANAOqCNANRkX1
Thomas was silent.596Please respect copyright.PENANAhbaCJlrEF1
596Please respect copyright.PENANAooeIyEL5Et
“Thomas? Who are the children?” Grace’s voice became insistent.596Please respect copyright.PENANA5ohEww1wAs
596Please respect copyright.PENANA2javBd0AXt
“They are your children, Grace,” came a soft reply.596Please respect copyright.PENANAjKJ54HbokB
596Please respect copyright.PENANAryU8xA0cPi
“What?” Grace grabbed the stair railing. She turned to Morris, “What is he talking about?”596Please respect copyright.PENANAVp0XXbZCgv
596Please respect copyright.PENANAYGm3ZNYsAe
“I don’t know, my dear. Perhaps we should let him tell us.” He looked sympathetically at Grace and then turned his gaze to Thomas.596Please respect copyright.PENANAUfINI7c8B2
596Please respect copyright.PENANATAR2OW4sWt
Grace looked up and waited. Her mind raced into the past as doors of her private world flew open.596Please respect copyright.PENANAFhQPqPIHR9
