Naois sat down at his desk and activated the recording program, filling in the startdate before continuing:

"Though it is uncustomary for my kind to admit it, I am overjoyed to have all my family home with me again. For weeks, I was bereft of my children though my wife has been of great comfort to me. Especially after I was injured, did Eva not stray from my side. I could not have found a more loyal and caring mate even though I could not and would not ever compare her to Valeia. Both are kind women, though I still do miss Valeia. I love Eva, I really do but she knows I will always have a place for my first love.

I am however relieved that we are all together again. Our reunion was emotional and I even caught stoic Delon shed a tear or two. Laura would not let go of us for hours and we had a hard time parting when it was time for bed. But they are readjusting now. Slowly we are going back to a normal family life.

As for me, I too am slowly adjusting. I am undergoing physical therapy to refine the use of my right hand which is now a bionic replacement. When I am not wearing it, I still feel the pain in the limb that is no longer there and counsellors tell me that I need time to get to terms with this. I know I do, but that does not make it ease.

Everything takes time, readjustment to family life, readjustment to a new duty schedule as I am not yet cleared for full duty, and soon readjustment to having a baby again. Babies, I should say, because Eva and I are expecting twins. I cannot wait, even though we still have a few months to go."
