Sidney kissed him a few more times after replacing the vegetables in the freezer. Once the twins toddled off, he gathered his coffee and motioned for the sleepy Flint boys to follow him. "Looks like it's time for presents. Maybe we can go back to sleep when they're done."
The twins were investigating the cookie and milk tray that was now empty, obviously pleased that Santa had liked their offerings. There was a modest pile of presents under the tree. It was easy to go overboard so Sidney and Silas had set limits on themselves so not to spoil them too much.
Underneath the tree was also Silas's surprise - a thin box containing three glossy ultrasound pictures from two weeks ago when Sidney and Marc had done the test during lunch and decided to surprise Silas instead of telling him right away.
