Leo listened carefully. He followed every word, making sure he understood exactly where to place his hands.
Finally, he leaned forward and carefully picked up his son, who was lying closest to him.
The tiny boy fit so easily into his arms that Leo's heart nearly stopped.

Ah. He'll look different after some time.
