Sawyer
Heading to the hospital. What do you need me to bring?
Hudson
Left the overnight bag in our bedroom. Can you grab that?
Sawyer
Sure. You want me to call anyone?
Hudson
Thanks, man. For everything. Maddie’s on the phone with her brother now. I’ll text the family in a minute.
Sawyer
Be there soon.
Twenty minutes later, I pull into the parking lot of Kroydon Hills Hospital with a smile on my face. My little brother’s a dad, and my woman’s a fucking rock star. I love the sound of that, but I’m not sure she’s ready to hear it just yet. Good thing I’m the patient Kingston.
Hudson and Jace have always been instant-gratification guys.
Max and I have always understood that anything worth having takes time earning.
Becks is justBecks.
I laugh to myself as I grab the bag from the passenger seat and make my way into the hospital. After I check in at the front desk and get a badge and a room number, I head up to the maternity wing and smile when the double doors swing open. Wren is there, standing behind the counter, looking at something on a computer.
She glances up as I step through the doors, and her entire face lights up.
Somewhere deep in my chest, something clicks so completely into place, I almost trip. “Hey, Red.” I lean against the counter and watch as she hands something to the woman beside her, then leans over and kisses me.
Right there in front of anyone who might be looking.
I slide my hand under her hair and hold her there for a moment.
“Hi,” she whispers against my lips before pulling away. And damn, I don’t want to let her go.
“Oh, it’s like that,” the woman, whose badge saysPhoebe, laughs. “Let me guess. You’re the weed guy.”
I narrow my eyes in confusion when Wren walks around the counter, stopping next to me. “They weren’t weeds.”
“Fine. Thewishieguy,” Phoebe mocks.
“Oh?” I push. “Did you make a wish, Red?”
“I think maybe I did.” She pushes me away with a laugh. “We’ll see if it comes true, Kingston. Come on. I’ll take you to your brother.”
We walk down the hall and stop at a closed door. Wren knocks and waits a moment before she walks in and over to my sister-in-law’s side. “How are you feeling, Maddie?”
I step in behind her and stop in my tracks.
A tiny baby burrito with a big pink bow wrapped around her head is tucked into my brother’s giant arm as he sways in the silence of the room. “Hudson...”
Little blonde whisps of hair cover her small head.
She’s got Maddie’s nose and lips, but when she opens her eyes and looks up... well those are all Kingston.
