"Faelie darling, our son is really quite the remarkable lad! I am so proud of him! And do you notice, he always is smiling and has such a sweet disposition!" says Max "I think he is the sensitive sort, but with a keen logical mind as a good balance!"

"Which son are you speaking of, darling?" Faelie knows how Max's mind can be in the Future, and He has spoken of their children on many occasions!
Once she even learned of one of their names! 'Zeke' Faelie smiles shaking her head.

"Oh Maxy, Quigley isn't our son, not really, though we love him and think of him as 'ours', as in our little family unit! or household unit." Faelie smiles up in Max's eyes, hoping to cheer him up, as her words had a noticed effect on his mouth, stopping his smile.
"Max it will be so wonderful, and I'm so happy he will come with us to our new home!'' She pats his hand, giving a squeeze.

Quigley secretly loves the times when Max refers to him as his son! He just smiles and enjoys the lovely warm feeling of belonging, of pretending. But this time it feels different! Quigley's ears perked up at the word Mother, and he feels like he should speak up.
He feels he is supposed to be like Max's assistant and remind him when he notices Max is in the future!
But more and more, as the weeks have passed, Quigley has stayed quiet to just listen to Max talk, learning of the things of the future, and reveling in the moments when Max calls him son.
Quigley even found that if he sits very quietly, on the floor leaning against Max's arm chair, while he speaks, sometimes Max's hand will graze his head, and give a pat.
But today Max referred to Faelie as his Mother! He hopes he doesn't get in trouble for just enjoying Max's ramblings and letting it go on for so long! He decides he better be brave, and tell him.
"Max, as wonderful as that felt to hear you call me son, this is where I should remind you, that you are in your future think again." says Quigley

"No I'm not Quigley. I am right here in the now.'' Max says softly
https://i.imgur.com/hJE0NxV.jpg
''Faelie and I love you like our own son,
https://i.imgur.com/qgzd2nW.jpg
I always think of you as my son, our son. We feel that you are our family, and we wish to make it so.''
https://i.imgur.com/7byjklq.jpg
'' that is, if you would like that." Max says hopefully.

Quigley can barely believe it, but this is what he daydreams of!
Without hesitation he says
"Are you kidding? I would Love that!!!''
