Joshua didn’t speak as he watched them — Ezra sitting cross-legged on the rug, both of his sons clinging to her like she was all they’d ever known.
She wasn’t performing.
She wasn’t pretending.
She was just… there. Real. Steady. Natural.
And both twins—
Both called her “Mamma.”
Joshua’s breath stayed calm. But inside, his thoughts were spiraling.
He didn’t let emotions cloud judgment. Not in battle. Not in life.
But this?
This wasn’t tactical.
This was something else.
He stepped out of the room and shut the door behind him quietly.
The hallway was dim and silent.
He pulled out his secure line and called the private medic division.
> “Captain Kwon speaking. Confidential order.”
> “Go ahead, sir.”
> “I want a DNA test done. Priority.”
> “Subjects?”
Joshua didn’t hesitate.
> “My twins. And my wife.”
There was a pause on the other end.
> “Understood. Discreet collection?”
> “Yes. Make it clean. I want the results fast, and off the system.”
> “Confirmed. Anything else, sir?”
Joshua stared out the window.
His voice dropped.
> “Find out everything about her past. Birth, records, locations, aliases. Anything hidden, changed, buried — dig it up.”
> “How far back?”
> “Go as far as it takes.”
> “Noted.”
He ended the call without another word.
His hand stayed on the phone a moment longer.
> My twins and my wife...
He said it like it was nothing.
But it didn’t feel like nothing.
It felt too real.

Joshua walked back into the living room. Ezra hadn’t moved much. The twins were half-asleep beside her, their tiny hands still holding onto parts of her shirt.
Ezra glanced at him briefly, eyes tired but calm.
> “I don’t know why this feels so normal,” she said softly.
Joshua didn’t answer.
He didn’t have one.
All he knew was that every time he looked at her with those boys…
Something in him whispered the same words again.
> “My twins. My wife.”
But part of him needed to prove it.
Or else he’d lose control of everything.
