Her Seven Little Bodyguards

The three babies nodded sincerely as they stood in front of Jude with their gifts in hand, hoping that he would accept the gifts.

Upon noticing that Jude hadn’t moved, Vania crouched next to him and said softly, “We’re all family here, so don’t be shy. They prepared these gifts because they love you. Just accept the gifts for now, and you can also give them presents in the future.”

Jacob also coaxed, “Mommy’s right. We’re giving you presents from the bottom of our hearts, so please accept them. You will have a lot of opportunities in the future to give us gifts too.”

James nodded as well. “That’s right, we’re brothers after all. It’s only right that we help each other out.”

“As long as we brothers are together, everything will be alright,” Jack encouraged the little guy too.

Jude finally relaxed his hands that were tightly gripping a corner of his clothes. He reached out shakily and accepted their gifts with both hands. “Thanks.”

His voice was tiny, but everyone present who heard it felt like it was the loudest sound they had ever heard as happy smiles bloomed on their faces.

The smiles seemed to influence Jude, who also relaxed considerably. He was no longer as nervous as before. However, before he had relaxed for long, Jacob took his hand. “We’ll show you around the house!”

Jude was stunned by the sudden physical contact from people his age, so he followed Jacob clumsily.
