Later, Tommy wanted to kick himself. Paul had been right there, having come straight in from picking up the donated equipment -- meaning he hadn't stopped in the office to check with Claire when he returned to the Mission. The mess with Franky distracted him, so Paul obviously didn't think about Claire and the results from her doctor visit, and Tommy forgot to ask, too. By the time he remembered, he was outside on the playground and couldn't nag Paul to go talk to Claire. When he got back inside from playground duty, Paul was gone again and Claire serenely reported that she hadn't talked to him because he had only been in the office for a total of twelve minutes, and they hadn't been alone together for one second. Tommy wondered if his big sister was laughing at him.

But if she was laughing, that was a good sign, right? It was good news from the doctor, right?

Finally, the clock crept around to the time school let out for Sammy. Tommy knew exactly how long it would take for Paul to get back from picking up his daughter at the elementary school.

He couldn't imagine life without Sammy and Paul in it.

Paul followed in Sammy's wake a few seconds later, just as Tommy reached the point where the hall opened into the lobby. He nodded to Tommy and strolled into the office. Tommy's heart skipped a beat when Claire gestured for Paul to follow her, put down Sammy's artwork, and led the way into Pastor Wally's office.

"Lookee, Uncle Tommy!" Sammy proudly waved her newest artwork and accidentally slapped him in the face with it before getting it to lie flat in his lap.

Tommy commented on the colors, the stiffness of the paper with all the glue or paste or whatever it was holding multiple layers of colored construction paper, glitter, feathers and sequins in place. He knew by now not to ask what it was. Sammy would eventually tell him. The funny thing was, once she told him what her creations were supposed to be, he could actually
