“I love you, babe.” I lean to give her a kiss before kissing my son’s tiny little hand. “I love you, too, little man.”

When I open the door to the maternity ward’s waiting room, everyone’s there. Nitro, Matrix, Talon, Reaper, Nina, and even Holly. They’re all anxiously looking at me, so I get right to the point.

“I have a son.”

“Hell yeah!” the guys scream, pounding their fists on every available surface and surprising the hell out of everyone else in the waiting room.

“What’s his name?” Nina asks after the commotion dies down.

“Eli, after my mom, Elizabeth.”

“Good name,” Talon says.

“Strong name,” Nitro says.

“Badass name,” Matrix says.

Reaper grunts in agreement.

“Want to meet him?” I ask.

“Hell yeah!”

I check with Julia to make sure she’s ready before ushering everyone into the room. The whole club’s there, everyone I care about. Everyone I love. This is un-fucking-real. My heart’s about to burst right out of my chest. I couldn’t be happier in this moment because, right now, I have everything I’ve always wanted. I’m surrounded by love and happiness. I’m surrounded by my family. Life can’t get any better than this.
