“Xander?”
He gave her a look that she couldn’t identify.“You were amazing, sweetheart.We have a son.”
Mommy?
A relieved breath escaped her sore throat.
Liv appeared in front of her with her son.She reached for Silas, grateful that Xander supported her arms with his.“He’s beautiful.The most beautiful baby ever.”Liv’s voice choked with emotion and Frost noticed tears in her eyes.
Frost glanced down at her son in her arms and fell completely and utterly in love with her little man in that moment.He had a shock of white hair that matched Xander’s perfectly.He had the same olive skin, not the pale complexion that she had.His lips were full, like hers, but his nose belonged to Xander.He was perfect in every way.
“You look exactly like Daddy.”
Xander reached out and traced a finger down his hair and onto his cheek, and Silas leaned into his touch and sighed.“Hey, little man.I’m so happy you’re here.”
Daddy!
Silas blinked open his eyes and they both gasped at their first glimpse at the color of his eyes.They were ice-blue, but green flecks were sprinkled throughout.They reminded her of an exploded star, both beautiful and dangerous.“He’s perfect.”
Liv and Seth walked over to look at their son, who smiled up at them, and they were just as taken aback as she was when they spotted his unique eyes.They all stared at Silas as he stared back at them, fascinated.
“That’s your Aunt Liv and Uncle Seth.”Again, a smile brightened his face.
“How are you doing, Frost?”
“I’m good.Tired and a little sore, but I feel that my body is already healing.”She put one hand on her now empty belly and felt tears prick her eyes.
“He’s right here, sweetheart.Silas will always be a part of you.”Xander kissed her softly before wiping away the tears that fell at his words.
She squeezed Silas closer.He let out a contented sound and blinked up at them, his eyes refusing to look away from his parents.Xander’s arms came around them both.
As she watched, her little man grew more and more tired.
“I promise to do everything in my power to protect my two men who I love most in this world.”
After she finished the last word, the three of them glowed bright before the light faded away from their skin.Their bond had been recognized and in her mind, was completely binding, forever.
