"That's not what I meant," Dominick said with a light chuckle. "You always misunderstand me."
Gabriel smirked faintly, and the two brothers shared a warm side hug, their bond evident in the ease of their interaction.
Dominick then turned toward Amelie and embraced her gently before shifting his attention to the little boy in Gabriel's arms.
He leaned forward and softly pinched Noah's cheek.
"Little Noah," he said warmly, "do you remember me? Your second uncle."
Noah's face lit up instantly.
"Unca!" he babbled, clapping his tiny hands together with excitement, his wide smile making everyone around him melt.
Dominick's eyes brightened.
"He spoke!" he said, clearly delighted.
Gabriel gave a small nod.
"Yeah, he speaks in broken words for now," he said casually.
Then he moved forward with Amelie to greet their parents.
Raidan immediately stepped forward and took Noah into his arms, his face lighting up with joy at seeing his grandson after so many days.
