Epilogue
—Christian—
“You look good holding that baby,” Kinley’s mom stated, suddenly standing beside me.
It had been a month since Asher was born, and we were having our first family barbeque at our house. Everyone who mattered was there.
Including fucking Jax.
I kissed his head, smiling at her.
“Christian, now that we’re alone for a minute, I just want to thank you again for what you did for me back then.”
“My pleasure.”
“I know I have said this to you so many times already, but you truly saved my life. I know without a shadow of a doubt I wouldn’t be standing here if you didn’t help me get into that facility.”
“I love your daughter. I’d do anything for her.”
“I hope one day, you can learn to love me too.”
“Wah!” Asher cried out, squirming in my arms.
“I think your grandson needs a diaper change. Want to do the honors?”
“Of course.” She grabbed him out of my arms. “Come here, my angel baby. Look how handsome you are.”
He cooed. Our son loved her.
“You know, one day, not tomorrow or the next or even next year, but I’d love for you to eventually call me mom.”
“I’d like that.”
She smiled, turning around to go back inside.
Unable to hold back, I said, “Everyone makes mistakes, and I’m happy that Kinley has you back in her life. I know how much she missed you. How much she loves you.”
She met my eyes. “She’s the best thing I ever did.”
“I have to agree.”
“Thank you for loving her the way you do.”
“She makes it easy.”
She spun again to take a step.
“And, Miss McKenzie.” I smiled at her. “I do love you. And I’m damn proud of how far you’ve come.”
The expression on her face was enough to make a grown man cry. She didn’t just light up, she fucking glowed. Almost blinding.
“I love you too.” She kissed Asher’s head and then made her way back inside at the same time that Kinley was walking out to me.
“What was that about?”
“Don’t worry about it.”
