The group of women glowed as Archer swooped into the heart of the giggling babies, who enveloped him in a warm, cuddly wave of love. Freya clambered onto his face while letting out a squeal, planting a sloppy kiss.
Neoma snuggled onto his chest, her little hands patting him happily. Evelyn nuzzled her face into his hair, wiggling as she shook her head, giggling all the while. Sweet Kela sat nearby, her big red eyes sparkling, until Archer scooped her up.
He blew a soft raspberry against her belly, and the grey-skinned little darling burst into a peal of unstoppable, heart-melting laughter, her joy echoing through the room, causing everyone to smile.
Archer's heart swelled as he showered his little girls with affection, their sparkling eyes and tiny squeals filling the room. He gently tickled Freya's belly, her giggles bubbling up like a tiny fountain, her arms flailing in delight.
