joe and sally have resumed their positions. this wasn't the call they were waiting for.
sally kisses his cheek on her way to the door.
mac and clair forsythe wave from the door. clair's arms are full of presents. mac carries three video cameras under his arm. he's got otis by the collar.
sophia bursts from the kitchen.
they look back at her.
sally sits at the edge of the bed, regards the sleeping children. reaches over and smoothens the tangled, tousled hair. studies their faces.
panes, skye, sally and joe come into the room dogless.
