**********

Cordelia held the tattered picture just out of Connor's reach, smiling as the baby's eyes never moved from it. Being careful not to jostle the infant in her arms too much, she gently ran a finger over the burned edges of the photograph.

"Do you see this, Connor?"

He gurgled softly, one of his pudgy hands reaching out to grab that picture dancing in front of him. Cordelia quickly pulled it out of harm's way, a sad smile making its way to her face.

"This is your Uncle Doyle."

Blue eyes sparkled like sapphires, a hero preserved for all eternity.
