9 months later...

"AH! MASON!" I screamed, "He's here!"

"Breathe, baby, I'm right here." Mason held my hand as I squeezed it.

"Push hun," Amanda commanded.

"Oh, he's beautiful," Amanda said, bringing me into tears.

"Last picture," Jocelyn pleaded, promising Gabe cookies after the last picture. We had won Gabe's custody 6 months ago. He was the best nephew anyone could ask for. And the best son any mother could ask for. 

"We did it, baby. We did good," Mason congratulated, giving me a kiss.

Jocelyn showed us the pictures, just me, Mason, Gabe, and our baby -- Lucas Oliver Hamond. 

Our family.
