“Dad, where is mom? I asked Cal why he was picking me up instead of mom, but he said, You’ll explain everything,” he says, a mask of concern firmly on his face. Damn this was hard. I had time to come up with a way of delivering the news, but words fail me. “Is she having the baby? Is that why we a
Chapter 116 “What do you mean she slipped into a coma?” Theo asks with an unmistakable tremble in his voice. My heart was once again thudding against my ribcage. It felt like it wanted to punch a whole right through my fucking chest. I try to think clearly, but it’s like my brain can’t function.

I stare at my son. I’m so proud of him and of the bond he has with his mother. No one, not even her best friends and her parents, knew the name she had chosen, yet she had told Noah. “That’s really good,” Mary says, smiling at Noah. “You’re already shaping up to be a great big brother.” Noah just
