Izzy kissed each of them and held them tight. “I need to shift, babies. Gotta heal the bullet wound.”

“What bullet wound?” Todd was the one who asked but Ulises ran his hand over Izzy’s body, making him turn. There was a healed scar on his shoulder with dried blood around it but nothing else.

Todd touched it, which made Izzy take notice.

“Huh. Must have been all the partial shifting that healed it.” Izzy shrugged and pulled them into his arms again. “We made it.”

“We did.” Ulises smiled.

Izzy cupped his cheek and then Todd’s. “You’re my home too. Just as much as I am yours. Remember that and how much I love you.”

Todd wouldn’t forget it anytime soon. That was for sure.
