"But it's possible, right?" Manny followed along behind Ein catching up to him just as Angel turned towards the door. His call had ended some time ago, but he was thumbing through the calendar checking to see if he could rearrange Tuesday for Manny soccer game. He didn't want to say anything until he knew for sure.<br/><br/>"Dad!" Can people marry foxes? Julian was a shepherd and you guys were married to mom right?"<br/><br/>Angel's mouth dropped open slightly and his face flushed bright red.  brown eyes darted from Ein back to his son a few times before he sputtered out a response.  "Well, Um. What brought this on Manny. I mean, yes I was married to your mother but Julian... Julian was a ... a part of our family. You can only be married to one person by law, Manny."<br/><br/>"Oh." Manny had slipped his hand in Ein's and was swinging it lightly as he thought about What his father had just said.  Angel could see the gears turning in his young mind and nervously waited the questions that would spill out next. "You weren't married to Julian then, just mom?"<br/><br/>Angel nodded, and glanced at Ein before squatting down to be eye level with Manny. "Just your mother, Manny."<br/><br/>"But Julian left when mommy died.  because you weren't married?"<br/><br/>A sadness cam across Angel's face and he sighed deeply before replying, feeling exposed to have Ein hear all this.  he could not eny his son answers, especially since he'd never talked about this before.  "No, Manny.  Julian left for reasons even I don't understand."<br/><br/>"So... then Ein can be a part of our family like Julian?"<br/><br/>"...Manny...."  Angel looked up at Ein as he spoke.  "It's a little soon for all that, don't you think? Ein just got here yesterday."<br/><br/>Manny thought on his words, then broke out into a huge grin. "So you have to get to know each other then Ein can kinda get married and be a part of our family. Miss Carla says there's no such thing as love at first sight only lust at first sight."
