  I let out a sigh and ask Connor if we can sit on the log next to the lakeshore.

  “Is it the baby?” he asks nervously.

  “No,” I say with a side-glance. I think it’s so sweet when he’s worried about me and the baby.

  I have never regretted, for a second, my choice to marry Connor. He has been nothing but good to me. Sometimes he will ask me when I knew I loved him, and I tell him when he first stitched up my leg in Salem. But the truth is, I had also loved his brother. But Aaron was part of a world that I needed to escape sometimes. Aaron was a Starborn. And then there was the fact that I could talk to Connor from distances away. That I could tell what

  he was thinking and feeling just by closing my eyes and picturing him. I haven’t been able to do that with anyone else. It’s a special bond that I have with no one else.

  At some point throughout the crazy adventure, I just knew it was Connor. Aaron and I never even really discussed it. After I killed Jeremiah, it was as if he knew we wouldn’t be together. And we were both okay with that.

  I still miss him. I enjoy seeing him when he comes for the council meetings, but it never really goes beyond business. He and Connor still don’t talk much when Aaron does come around. All has been forgiven on both sides, but there are just some things that are difficult to work past. I’m sure Connor resents Aaron for what happened to their parents, though he would never blame him outright. I’m sure Aaron resents Connor and I for pursuing marriage, but he has never said anything about it. It’s just one of those things.

  “I wonder what sort of Starborn power this little guy is going to have,” Connor says, poking my belly.

  “Oh, so now it’s a boy?”

  He nods. “Yep.”

  “Well, I hope she doesn’t have to get into a situation where a gift must be discovered,” I say.

  “I think he will be able to move mountains,” he says.

  “Move mountains?” I ask, eyebrow raised.

  He nods. “Yep. Literall

  y, just move his hands a certain way and mountains come crumbling down.”

  “Powerful, but not very helpful, I wouldn’t think.”

  “Well, maybe just figuratively then,” he says. “Just like her mother.”

  “Her mother?”

  He leans in and rests his forehead on mine and kisses my lips tenderl

  y. “Boy or girl, I’m just happy I’m having a baby with you.”

  He kisses me again and we turn our heads to stare at the glassy lake. The world is still in bad shape. Those of us here in New Haven have paid our dues, but none of us look at it that way. We still have more to pay because others still need our help.

  I know there are more Starborns out there, and the world needs more of them. As Starborns, it’s our duty to heal the world by ridding it of infection. Jeremiah is dead, but his curse has left its mark on the world. There are still those that will find a way to use the greyskins for personal gain. There are those that will exploit the weaker people of the world. Then there are the greyskins themselves.

  We have a long road ahead of us. Our job is not finished. Evelyn passed the torch on to me to carry on the mission of the Starborns. To help heal the world.

  Until the day I die, I will carry on. But even after my death, I hope those I have left behind will continue the fight.

  I know the world may never be completely healed…but the Starborns will never stop working toward that end.

  Not until we have peace, once again.
