Mrs. Henderson has a surprise for Mr. Henderson: a dozen fresh, little babies!
She promised she'd get them from Safeway on her way home from work and, this time at least, she actually remembered. She had even popped the carton open at the store and tickled each of their little sleeping or cooing heads to make sure they hadn't made a diaper-mess already. These little tykes were whole and clean.
Mr. Henderson is overjoyed! He opens the carton and smiles down at the 12 little babies he's been waiting for. They have her eyes.
Tomorrow, they will have breakfast as a family again. It's been too long.
