"Uncle Liam!"
Michael moved his short legs quickly. Once he was near Liam, the tall man grabbed him, lifting him up in the air, causing the boy to laugh.
"Do you want to ride on my shoulders?" Liam asked him with a grin.
Michael nodded.
Liam gently positioned him so he was sitting behind his head, one little leg dangling from each shoulder, with the dark-haired man holding onto his legs to keep him steady.
Michael wrapped his arms around Liam's neck, still giggling. "This is fun!"
Mika shook her head. "I'm glad you two get along."
"Why wouldn't we?" Liam asked.
"Some guys don't enjoy children."
"Kids are great," Liam nodded. "Maybe someday I can adopt."
"Oh," Mika gasped. "That would be wonderful. There's so many kids who need loving homes."
"There's a problem," Liam chuckled.
"What would that be?"
"Convincing Kai in the distant future."
