Ellie smiles warmly. “Mom, we already know.”
I gasp. “You do?”
Kelly grins. “Yeah, you two aren’t exactly subtle. I figured I’d let you tell us in your own time.”

“You really don’t mind?” I ask.
Ellie beams. “Not even a little bit, Mom!”

Max smiles and jogs toward his son. He’s truly an incredible father. “I’m coming to get ya!”
Petey yaps happily, chasing after Max, his full, healthy fur glistening in the sun.
