Me – On the plane.
Me – Missed you guys.
Cupcake – We love you. We missed you.
Cupcake – I’ll let them know.
Then I leaned back as the plane started taking off and closed my eyes.
The moment I had gotten the all clear from the doctor to return to work, Cassie had been understanding.
Fuck, but I loved that woman.
My family... not so much.

The times I came home looked a whole lot different now.
I looked out the window and saw my woman and my son standing side by side.
My dad had his arm around my mom’s shoulders.
Carter was standing next to Harlee, Everly, Lila, and Talia.
Ethan was there along with Bronson and Dom.
Garrick had his arm around Tatum, and Sage was standing with the rest of the kiddos who made up our family.
The moment the door opened, and I walked down the steps, I saw my little man.
He came running.
I dropped my bag, and then lifted him the moment he reached me, against my neck he said, “Missed you,Daddy.”
I grinned, “Missed you too.”
He had come a long way.
And with our love and a good doctor, Krispin was now the size that most six-year-olds were.
My woman was smiling as she made it to me, and I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her close.
Then I pressed a kiss on her lips.
My team said their hellos to my family, and then they loaded up in their own vehicles and headed to their homes.
Yeah, did I mention that after I was in the hospital, they had all relocated?
Now, they were officially living in and on the outskirts of Whispering Falls.
And I couldn’t be happier.
I sat Krispin on his feet and chuckled as he raced to Cole.
The two of them had a weird bond, but I loved it.
I looked down at Cassie and smiled.
