The stage had been cleared of all its props and decor. They were getting ready to welcome a new play soon, for which Nora was now planning. The stage now looked completely barren save for a small desk and chair in the very center, which Nora was currently occupying. She quietly went about her business, typing on her laptop or writing out receipts for their purchases. Every once in a while, she would hear a pair of feet zooming by, would catch a glimpse of brown hair, would feel a sudden gust of wind. Just when she felt it was safe to continue to work, back the other way the tiny tornado would race past. It was probably after the tenth time that Nora realized she wasn't going to get any work done. At least not at that very moment.
Slowly, she stood from her chair and walked around the desk. When the tiny tornado rushed toward her, she knelt and scooped him up in her arms before twirling around and hugging him. His little heart was beating so fast it almost made Nora sob. "Lucas." Her little miracle baby. Lucas Ramsey came at a time when no one expected him to. But Nora accepted him all the same. It was hard at first to spread her attention equally among Lucas and the girls, especially when Kaylee had Cata, Lucy had Oliver and Luna at the time, and all Nora wanted to do was stare at her baby, the one she actually gave birth to after an incredibly difficult pregnancy. But somehow, Nora managed to continue to be a good mother to all her children whether biological or not.
"Don't you think you've had enough running for today, young man?"
Stubbornly, Lucas stuck out his chin and shook his head. "No Mama, no."
"I see," replied Nora as she set him down on the floor. He was about to take off again when she caught him by the back of his shirt. "Not so fast... You remember the Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes song?"
