Chapter Five

Billy

Billy was staring over Corey’s shoulder, drenched in as much of his own sweat as hers, and couldn’t believe his eyes. He had been there for every second, the quiet support at her back while Liam reminded her to breathe and Cam held her hand for dear life. Just over nine hours from the moment she said it was time until their daughter came screaming into the world. Two minutes later, taking his sweet ass time, their son came out yawning.

Through the planning and preparation, the dueling emotional roller coasters of Corey’s pregnancy and Liam’s therapy, all on top of renovating a house, he always believed their hard work would be worth the result. Realizing their dream hadn’t come easy, and it hadn’t been cheap, and now that they were here…he could see that he was wrong.

They could have moved planets in their attempt to be worthy, and it would still pale in comparison to the miracle unfolding before him. Life at its purest, completely uncensored, and one million percent awe-inspiring. Other than his early morning wedding to Liam, nothing would ever come close.

He was just a kid from the projects, a gangbanger who was lucky to survive. Before Owen came into his life, he was headed for a casket. He knew it, his mother and brothers knew it, and he never truly believed he deserved another chance. Getting one didn’t make him a believer either.

A repeat offender who surrendered to the cycle, he had done his time and been released before. It was the people who believed he could be different that inspired a change he hadn’t expected. The Connors, Jared, Saul and the men in the house—they saw something in him that he wanted to live up to. Then Liam saw someone he could love and it was everything.

Believing it could get any better felt greedy and selfish. Most days he woke up feeling like an imposter who was living someone else’s wonderful life. Somehow, he had gone from troublemaker to family man, criminal to…well, not hero. No one would ever call him that. Helper was better. He helped his friends when they needed it and would do it again if they asked.

Because without their generosity, he would not be here to see their children being brought into the world. Liam wouldn’t have given the old him the time of day, and Cam and Corey would have never dialed his number. Without that chance, someone else would have had this moment, but he wasn’t giving it back.

“Billy.” Liam wiped the sweat from his face and leaned in to kiss him. Soft and sweet, a sheen of tears in his eyes, his husband looked as awestruck as he felt. “How are your arms?”

In the back of his mind, Billy knew his whole body hurt from being hunched around Corey for so long. But that was something to worry about later. Right now, he could only follow Liam’s gaze to see a nurse hovering nearby, a little bundle of squalling goodness in her arms.
