Her inner voice encouraged her so she walked away too.

On arriving home Canary found Lucy waiting for him at the door.
" Mom, What's.." he asked in confusion but before he could complete his sentence Lucy stopped him midway.
" Welcome back, I have a surprise for you." She grinned and held his hand quietly.
" What is it that had exited you at this moment ?" Canary asked while Lucy dragged him to their room.
" Just keep quite and see it for yourself." Lucy said and opened the door for him.
Alex was inside the room seated in the parlor.
" Dad is back already ?" Canary asked.
Lucy kept silent and smiled as Canary watched her.
" ..Canary…" Canary was delighted to hear that familiar voice call him.
He slowly turned to face Alex.
His eyes turned wet in disbelief as he watched his father gaze at him with a grin.
" Father…did..did..you …just call my name ?" He asked not believing it.
Alex nodded pleasantly.
" Father ?" Canary called again and rushed to him where he knelt before him.
" Are you really able to speak again ?" Canary asked make sure.
" I'm trying.." Alex mumbled.
He slowly moved his hands to cup Canary's face.
" My son, You have grown so much. I wanted to tell you this." He said.
Canary quickly dried the tears that were escalating from his face and said.
" I just look like you. Isn't it ?" He asked.
" Indeed,"Alex nodded.
