Oh shit.

Sighing because I was two seconds from punching him in the fucking face and breaking his nose. “Please tell me you didn’t force her,porque yo te mato!”

She raised her hands, shaking them as she came forward and put her hand on my shoulders, her gentle gaze keeping me steady. “He saved me, if anything. I wouldn’t be here if he hadn’t done what he had to.” She looked back at him, and his gaze softened like a knight crumbling at the knees of his princess.

Perplexed and lost at this cause, I uttered, “What?”

“It’s a long story, Blair. Just know I fixed it.” Marcello dryly added.

“Do I even want to know how you fixed it?” I questioned him.

“Nope.” He emphasized the p.

“I’m still going to know the truth.”

He couldn’t keep anything a secret from me for too long.

He stared at me and I stared back as Saoirse’s cheerful light laughter broke our contest. She was like a rare gem found in the roughest and darkest of places.

Truly the best thing I could have asked for.

“In all seriousness, I’m happy for you two. You deserve to be with someone who makes you happy and that loves our son asmuch as we do. And although you don’t need it, I gladly accept and bless you guys.”

“We could only wish for the same, Blair. We both came a long way; if it were not for him, I don’t know how this would have happened.”

I gazed back over my shoulder, and I can’t even imagine what would have happened if I had stayed back at the convent.

“So you’re okay with this whole co-parenting?” Carefully I mentioned the dilemma, if it wasn’t more obvious.

He glanced at Kon, then me, scratching his chin as Saoirse playfully pulled his arm, and he made a sigh of defeat, or rather acceptance. “Yes, although we’ll get into specifics later about who gets him when and where he’ll live, but as long as he is happy and safe, that is all that matters.”

“I’m fine with that as long as I get to see my baby,” Glee paced in my words as I began tickling Ollie around his stomach.

“Well, you wouldn’t want to have too much fun without your …” Marcello pointed at Kon.

“Oh damn,” I muttered as I wondered how to bring the baby to him.

“I got him for now.” He assured me as I passed him over.

“Don’t disappear.”

“Me, never.”

“I was talking to the baby.”

“Oh, okay, I knew that.” Marcello played it off, eying his wife, who clearly saw through the façade.

I shook my head again, threading my fingers through my loose hair as I strolled back over to Kon. Waiting to kiss, hug, and do all unspeakable things to him.

Disbelief is still new in my system as I smile at him. “I can’t believe you made this happen.”

“Is it everything you wished for?” He slid his hand into mine like regaining his home as we began walking away towards the foundation.

“That and more, so much more, baby.”

“I’m glad you’re happy.”

“You make me happy.”
