Back in the living room, Joey sat on a wing chair tossing out presents to the gaggle of Luciano and O’Reilly cousins clustered at his feet.

It had struck Liam as so weird the first time someone had referred to this group of kids as ‘the cousins.’ The realization that he and his siblings had moved up a limb on the family tree, becoming the aunts and uncles, had been the first time he’d gotten a sense of this line of family stretching back into the past and forward into the future.

Joey met his eyes across the room, concern visible in his expression. When Liam gave him a thumbs up, his smile lit up the room. Liam couldn’t help smiling back.

“Hold on,” Joey said, bending over to dig through his sack of presents. He came back up with a small present. “This one’s for Uncle Liam,” he said tossing it in a gentle arc across the room.

Liam laughed at the wrapping Santa with a hockey stick and skates wrapping paper. “Should I open it now?” he asked.

“Of course!”

Of course, Joey would say that. Instant gratification was practically his middle name. Just to be difficult, Liam took his time peeling the tape up and keeping the paper intact. He was laughing before it was fully unwrapped.

He held the gift up for the room to see. It was a Funko Pop likeness of Joey in his Rangers uniform. The vinyl figure was about four inches high with solid black staring eyes and head way too big for its body, yet somehow it managed to convey the Joey-ness of Joey.

“I love it,” he said. “I’ll treasure it forever.”

“Put it on your dashboard so you think of me every time you drive,” Joey suggested.

“I’ll get right on it,” Liam said, trying to hold back a grin. When Joey met his eyes, fuck-me smirk firmly in place, Liam laughed at shook his head. He’d be thinking of Joey, alright, probably more than he should be.
