"Thank you for sharing, it means a lot to me." Said Richard, "I know that I came to a full realization of my power lat in life which in some way I think was a blessing. There is so much I still have to learn about my powers. Come lets get some hot chocolate!"



Hot chocolate was duly made and as they sipped Richard reflected on how much like a family they had become. The thought made him smile. That smile morphed into a yawn. "Right, it is probably far past our bed times" Said Richard smiling. He felt sooo much like a bir brother saying that. With that he switched off the lights and crawled into bed. He wondered if they would chat about some nonsense until they both fell asleep.

"Thank you," said Margo gently, for what must have been the hundredth time that night. She smiled up at her newfound brother as they partook of hot chocolate, and hoped that he could see she meant it from the bottom of her heart.

It was the cherry on top of a wonderful night; she even managed not to burn her tongue on her first sip of the drink, as was her custom. Then, all too soon, they were slurping up the last marshmallows and settling in for the night.

Bedtime. Words came to mind- a nursery rhyme her mother had used to tuck her in with, but she scarcely thought of them before sleep rose up to claim her.

Good night, sleep tight. Wake up bright in the morning light ...
