Epilogue

One year later…

"Meet your new sister, Marla," I say with a smile as Harris walks Lucas over to the hospital bed. Lucas stills when he sees his new sister for the first time. She's all bundled up in blankets with a knitted yellow cap on her head. I'm obsessed with her already.

"Do you want to hold her?" Harris asks.

Lucas is silent as he stares at her in awe, like if he makes a sound the spell might break.

"Come sit beside me," I say as I shift over, making room for him on the bed.

He never takes his eyes off his sister as he climbs up and settles in beside me.

"Hi Marla," he whispers as I place her in his lap. "I'm going to be the best big brother ever."

"I know you will, sweetie," I say, giving him a kiss on the temple.

"You're so lucky you're in this family," he whispers to her. "You're going to love being with us."

Awww.

Tears flood my eyes as I look up at Harris. I reach for him and he takes my hand.

Gratitude fills my heart as I'm surrounded by my wonderful family.

I didn't think I'd be able to do this again.

I thought it would just be me and Lucas forever.

But now… Getting to do it all over again with Harris by my side… Getting to share it all with him… Having someone who has my back…

I smile gratefully as I look up at him. I can't wait for it all.

Our little family just grew a little bigger.

And my heart did too.
