held him to me. “The bad news is the cancer is in your bone marrow. The good news is that it hasn’t spread to your organs or lymphatic system and we have a perfect match to your marrow.”

“Who?” I asked as Emmett rubbed my leg.

“Stefan is a match. I was worried because he’s not your father, and there should be fewer genetic markers matching, but he is a match. You actually have as many vampire genetic markers as Patrick did even though he was half vampire. It’s astounding really. I mean, you’re one more generation removed and you have just—”

“Do you know what he’s talking about?” Emmett whispered as the doc kept going.

“No. I don’t understand most of this,” I answered honestly.

“Riley, speak English for those of us who don’t speak doctor,”

Stefan said with a chuckle, having overheard us.

“Right, sorry,” Riley mumbled before leaving the room. I really didn’t know what that meant. Then he came back with a dry-erase board that was on wheels. He picked up a marker and drew out twenty-three lines. “Humans have twenty-three specific chromosomes that make up their DNA. Vampires have twenty-four. Patrick had twenty-four being half vampire, but where these”—he circled the first three lines—“are different than humans’ for vampires, his were the human ones.”

“So he had an extra chromosome like you guys, but the ones that also make you vampire, he didn’t have?” Emmett asked, though I guess it was a statement, too? Fuck if I knew.

“Yes, exactly,” Riley agreed, smiling at my mate. “Since he had the twenty-four chromosomes in his DNA, we were able to flood him with vampire blood from his best match, Dillon. The result was Dillon’s blood and chromosomes, being stronger than the human ones, reworked his DNA to transform into ours. It’s the same process as when we go through puberty and have our transitions. Or when shifters go through theirs and are able to shift.”
