Watching my two men play trains together on Christmas morning has to be the highlight of my year. Reid was up so late last night putting everything together, so of course, Braden knocked it down in all of two seconds. Reid hooks together two trains and shows Braden how to drive them up and over the hills and mountains. Braden’s face lights up and he makes “choo-choo” noises as he shuffles around the waist-high train table. When a train falls off the tracks and crashes into the floor, driving itself under the TV stand, Braden says “uh-oh” and throws his hands in the air.

“I got it buddy.” Daddy to the rescue as always.

When he hands the train back to Braden, he sets him back up at the table and looks at me over his shoulder. Of course, he’s just caught me staring at him.

His ass was just in my face. Kinda difficult to ignore that.

He slides next to me on the floor and I kiss him on the cheek as I hand him his coffee.

“You look really happy this morning. And Braden loves his train. You did real good, Daddy.” He drapes an arm around my shoulders and we share a moment just watching our son drive his trains.

“I am happy.” He gives me a tight squeeze.

I know that part of his happiness has also come from the fact that we got a huge break on the Cane case the other night. The girls who beat up Lizzy confessed, under direction of their parents’ lawyers, of course. They were kicked off the cheerleading squad since the school has zero tolerance for bullying. Having to do fifty hours of community service barely seems like a sufficient sentence, but at least they aren’t going to get away with it entirely.

The football guys, on the other hand, well it looks like they will. I mean without Cane coming forward to say what happened, there isn’t much that anyone can do.

“Where’d you go?” Reid looks at me as I’m lost thinking about where Cane is. I don’t want to bring it up, being Christmas and all, but I can still see the worry on Reid’s face, the lines of tension creasing the corners of his usually bright blue eyes.

“Nowhere. I was just thinking of how happy I am too.”

We sit and watch Braden for a few more minutes before the phone rings and Reid gets up to answer it.

“Hey, Dyl. Yeah, Merry Christmas to you too.”

Braden chooses this moment to start throwing a mini-tantrum, his cries making it somewhat impossible for Reid to talk on the phone. After I hear him ask Dylan to hang on a minute, he turns to me. “It’s about Cane. I’ll be right back in.” My stomach twists in knots as I watch him walk down the hall to our room.

In the few minutes that he’s in our bedroom, I create all kinds of crazy scenarios about where Cane is and what happened to him. Most of them are just too scary to focus on for more than the briefest of seconds.
