For the next couple of minutes, she stood frozen, a mix of emotions on her face. Her teary eyes flickered between Karson and the kids before she turned to me with a silent question on her face.
"Really?" She breathed in a shaky whisper, tears filling her eyes and now I caught on it too.
I sniffed trying to hold them back but the look on her face was breaking me faster than I could recover.
"Mine-- Yours-- you and--" she stammered, too shocked to utter another word as the realisation hit her. She hesitated before taking a step forward, then another. She dropped to her knees before them, holding out a trembling hand before them.
"Hi," she said carefully as if they'd disappear if she was any louder. "I'm... My name is... I'm your grandmother. What are your names?"
