80. His Dilemma 

AZURA. 

It was a not so powerful, but still a clear knock of panic. 

“Mommy! Daddy! There’s an emergency! Daddy!” Corrado’s panicked voice came, sending a rush of worry through me. 1 

I jerked back, as Leo sat up and quickly got out of bed, yanking his pants up. He rushed to the door, pulling it open. 

My heart thudded as I climbed out of bed, wondering what had happened as Corrado ran in. His eyes wide with terror, his pyjama top a little tight on his belly as he climbed onto the bed, clapping both hands on his cheeks, as he stared at us both with an expression of clear horror  on his face. 

Leo smoothly sat down, placing a pillow  in his lap.
