For a moment, stunned silence filled the room. Savanna dashed a tear off her cheek. Charlotte pressed a hand to her lips.
Connor rose from his chair and came toward Beatrice’s desk, leaning over and gently taking one of Sloane’s small hands. “Hey there,” he said quietly. “I’m your Uncle Connor. You come hang out with me anytime.”
Sloane opened her eyes for a moment and fixed her baby gaze on him. Then she waved her balled up fist and pursed her lips as if to say something.
As if the floodgates opened, every one of the SFI crew filed over to introduce themselves properly to her, and like a little trooper, Sloane didn’t fuss or cry at all. As soon as the last person was done cooing over her, she fell right back to sleep, lips parting on a sigh.
The party continued for the next hour, and then the group began to file out, until only Trace, Savanna, Jax, Ruby, Connor, and Sabrina were left. The six of them huddled around the cake table, talking and laughing, while Beatrice gave Sloane a bottle.
Cal sat in the chair watching, his injured leg propped on Beatrice’s desk. “It’s a good life,” he murmured, his gaze fixed on Sloane’s face.
Beatrice nodded, her eyes full of happy tears as she imagined the life her daughter was going to have, surrounded by people who loved her.
Sometimes it was good to be wrong.
