“We won’t,” she promised. “We have some great parents to lean on in case we lose our way.”
That we did.
Not only had they helped after everything had gone down in Florida, but they’d been there every
step of the way since.
And I couldn’t ask for better grandparents—though it was really fucking weird that my sister was
kind of a grandma—for my new little Isabelle.
“We’re lucky, baby,” I rasped.
She pressed a kiss to the baby’s cheek that was only inches away from her face.
“We’re lucky,” she agreed.
“I’m glad that I can remember this,” I said. “I’m glad that, out of all the things I’ve forgotten, it wasn’t this. I don’t know that I could’ve done this without you.”
She laughed then.
“Well, technically, you needed a uterus to have…”
I pinched her ass, and she started to laugh.

hours later when they came to get her for a bath.
“Go with her,” Frankie urged. “Make sure nobody steals her.”
I looked at my wife and said, “I’ll protect her with my life.”
