"Nicole, are you unwilling? It's all right, we aren't forcing you. If you don't want to change how we address each other, we won't. You can always come over and play since you're classmates with Joshua. You're always welcome as a guest in our home."
"It's not that I'm unwilling, just a bit surprised," Nicole smiled softly. "Having someone care and love you in this world is the best thing. I also like Auntie and Uncle. If you're willing, I'd be even happier to recognize you as my godparents." Nicole raised her glass of juice and toasted the Floyd couple with a gentle smile, "In the future, I'll treat Joshua as my brother and protect him. I'll also spend more time keeping my godparents company. If I ever travel to Italy, I'll have another home."
"Great, you're welcome to come back and stay anytime," Stuart raised his wine glass and heartily toasted Nicole.
