Meredith’s blue eyes filled up with tears. “Oh, Alex,” she said softly.
“What does he mean?” Cassie asked from the other side of the bed. She looked from Alex back to Meredith. “Why did he say that?”
Alex took a shuddering breath and turned his head to face his sister. “She saved us, Cass. She gave us to her sister and brother-in-law after their baby was stolen.” He took a shallow breath. “She was afraid the General would find her. She saved our lives.” He winced at the thought that the General was their father. He took another breath and felt the pain in his ribs ease. “Meredith is our mother.”
Alex’s gaze shifted to the form standing in the doorway. Jaze watched him with sad eyes. At Alex’s questioning look, the dean nodded, confirming Alex’s words.
Alex slipped his hand under Meredith’s. Tears streamed down her face. “My little boy,” she said in a sob.
Cassie ducked under Meredith’s arm. It was clear by her expression that Cassie didn’t understand it all yet, but she trusted her brother. Alex gave her a weak smile. “It’s okay, Cass.”
She nodded. “I know it is. We’re going to be alright.”
Alex smiled and let his eyes droop shut. Memories of being a child at his father’s knee filled with the wonder of the world held him. He saw Jet there, lying on the grass watching the moon and speaking of hope. Mom stood in the doorway with her soft smile on her face, her eyes so warm and deep like her sister who turned out to be their birth mother. They were family. Nothing could change that. If anything, he and Cassie had been given a gift. They had a mother again; they were home. Alex drifted off to a sleep that was filled with peace.
