With Nox now out of the room, a sense of unease creeps in. Isla’s eyes lock with mine, and I blurt out the first thing that’s been weighing on my mind. “I’m so sorry for the pain I caused your family. If I could have gone about it differently, I would have…”

As she comes closer to me, I continue. “Just want you to know, your sons mean the world to me… You mean the world to me.”

A sad smile touches her lips as her hand reaches up and cups my cheek. “Emmy, you sweet thing. You’re safe, that’s all that matters. I trust that whatever kept you away from us is in the past, and we can all move forward as a family.”

Kiran comes waddling over and latches onto my leg. “Mama, up.”

“Hey, buddy, I thought you were playing in your tent.” He shakes his head, and then reaches for my hand, pulling me back into his room. It melts my heart to know that Nox already has all this stuff set up for him.

Isla enters behind us and lets out a small gasp at the room’s transformation.

A small tear slides down her cheek. “I can't believe I have a grandson.”

I wrap my arms around her without overthinking it. I've grown used to physical affection, as Kiran showers me with it daily. I know this is all so new and overwhelming for her.

After a few moments, I pull away, wiping my own tears away.

“It looks great so far, doesn’t it?”

“It really does. How'd he get all this here so quickly?”

“You know your son...”

She nods in agreement, still taking in the toys and half-assembled crib. Just then, Kiran reaches for Isla's hand and walks her over to a stack of books and sits down, patting the spot beside him.

Looking at the two of them makes me so happy. It means the world to me knowing Kiran is going to grow up with such a loving family around him.

Warm arms wrap around my middle and pull me close as a light kiss brushes against my neck. “She’s in her glory, isn’t she?” he asks.

“You could say that again. I'm sure she's still in a bit of shock, but once Kiran’s little hand is in yours, everything else seems to slip away.”

“That was an interesting call,” he says, prompting Isla to look up and me to half turn so I can see his face.

“I got a main event fight in Vegas for UFC 302.”

“What!?! That’s amazing! When?” I can’t contain myself.

A smirk stretches across his face. “Your twenty-first birthday weekend.”

“No shit! You're kidding me?” I squeal with glee. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than in Vegas, surrounded by all our friends.

“Who are you fighting?” Isla chimes in excitedly.

“Valdez, the current Welterweight Champ.”

“Holy shit... Anthony “Buzz” Valdez! Lennox. This is huge.” The guy has built quite a reputation for himself for both his skill and his theatrics. Not to mention, his nickname stems from the colors of his fighting shorts.
