Chapter 1316

The chill really had settled in, so Molly and Anya hurried to wrap up their kids, bundling their precious Henries in cozy blankets.

Mia just pulled her shawl tighter and hugged her little boy close, holding him safe and warm.

Not long after, someone got a bonfire going on the beach. The older folks and the women gathered around it, draped in blankets, catching up while the fire popped and crackled.

The flames danced in the night, logs snapping and hissing. Little Henry, wiped out from a day of adventures, drifted off in his mom's arms, snuggled and content.

James was glued to the fire, his tiny fists balled up, itching to get closer, his feet shifting in the sand.

Anya swooped in, scooped up her baby brother, and held his chubby feet out near the fire for a second before pulling them back. James giggled so hard, loving every second of his sister's silly game.

Madison, eyes full of motherly worry, sat down beside Mia. "Mia, let me hold Henry for a while. You should rest."

Naomi joined in, reaching for her own chubby little one, ready to take him from Mia's arms.
