I smile, and the cars finally start to move forward. “Always.”
“And my brother?”
“Always.”
He nods his head like that’s enough for him, and again I try not to think about how odd the whole situation is, but what the fuck ever. With the Sterlings, it’s never easy, but we get there.
Finally, we make it to the hospital just in time for Viv to deliver a beautiful healthy boy.
She offered to name him Colt, but I didn’t feel right about it. That was his name, and I want our baby to have his own identity. To know who he is.
“Mason Sterling, meet your daddy.” Viv hands our precious baby to me, and I cradle him in my arms.
Lola is crying. Viv is holding Baz as they watch us.
I’ll never stop missing my brother, but standing here, there’s no bitterness or anger left.
It’s just us.
Broken and scarred, but healing and oh, so very happy.
The End
