They placed Jackson in my arms, and I held him so that Hadley could see him too. “He’s so perfect,” she whispered to me. I nodded in agreement, unable to look away from him.
I didn’t forget my promise.
Bring him to the window as soon as he’s born. I don’t want to wait to see him.
Lucy was worse than the grandparents about wanting to see him.
Wiping my face, I glanced down at Hadley who was already nodding like she knew what I was thinking. “Go show him off then bring him back to his mommy.”
The doctors held the door open for me. Several feet across the room were six faces. They all jumped up and down and pointed except one. Lucy held Eli even though he was almost as big as her as he pointed at Jackson, and she completely broke down. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she covered her mouth and still tried to hold her brother on her hip. Her reaction only made my tears worse.
Because I knew she felt it too. That insane love that tackled my very being the second I saw Jackson the first time.
Seeing his sister cry, only made Eli start too. Now every smiling face was crying as I held him up toward the window.
I stared at the two kids that made me into this person I was, and I swore my heart quadrupled in size. Some days I couldn’t believe I had all these people in my life to love. And I couldn’t believe they loved me.
Bonds came from more than just blood.
Sometimes it was just there, and you didn’t question it.
I loved my family.
Life was…
Amazing.
