Thalassa recognized them in an instant-her four little treasures!

The kids had indeed grown a lot taller than they were three years ago. The boys were starting to look like young men, and the girls had blossomed into the beauty of youth. Yet, their faces remained the same as before, only shedding their former baby softness for a more youthful vigor.

Standing tall, the two boys sported buzz cuts, and the two girls had their hair in ponytails, all of them brimming with energy. They had been eagerly scanning the entrance when they spotted Thalassa. Instantly, their faces lit up with overwhelming joy.

"Mom!" they exclaimed in unison.

Breaking into a run, they all headed straight for Thalassa, who felt her breath catch and tears well up in her eyes at the sight. She opened her arms wide to welcome them into her embrace.

Like little rabbits, they dashed to Thalassa's side and threw themselves into her hug. Thalassa remembered a time when hugging her four little munchkins left room to spare in her arms, but now, as she wrapped her arms around them, they felt almost too short to hold them all.

"Mom, it's been so long, I missed you so much! Mom, you look more beautiful and younger every day. I've been telling my classmates that my mom is the prettiest, youngest-looking mom in the world!" Dorian, always the chatterbox, looked up at Thalassa with pride and excitement shining in his eyes, as bright as the stars in the sky, as if he was looking at the world's most precious treasure.

"Mom, I missed you so much. It's been so long since I saw you. I heard from the coach that we could see you on Saturday, and I've been counting down the days," Elowen said, trying to hold back tears, but they wouldn't listen.
