No wonder Dr. Yates wants to mentor you. Ctake a look! This little guy is so handsome." Gwendolyn smiled quietly to herself and leaned over for a glance. The baby was indeed fair and delicate.

"Mother and... son? Oh no, she's going to be so upset," exclaimed William a bright-eyed teen, brimming with youthful energy. Carlisle chided gently, "What are you talking about? Your mother is kind and wise."
