Mason dived onto the floor and took the cubs' side in the wrestling match. Balloons popped and the cubs rolled exuberantly among the streamers.
Harper listened to the joyful noise and laughter filling the house. She gazed at the huge, half-eaten birthday cake and smiled. She'd thought that her son's first birthday would be a quiet, lonely affair. There would just be the two of them, in a cold, tiny apartment with a cupcake and a single candle.
She never imagined that they would be surrounded by so much love and laughter and happiness.
She wondered if Jeremy had made a birthday wish as he blew out his candle. She had made a wish a long time ago. Not on her birthday, not upon a star, but under a dying street lamp. It was a distant memory, almost a lifetime ago.
She and Jeremy had come a long way. It wasn't just the two of them against the world. Not anymore. They were part of the Gray family now. She had a big, strong family, and a wonderful mate who loved her and their son with all his heart.
The wish that she had made so long ago had come true.
Life wasn't a straight path. It was full of ups and downs, and twists and turns. There would be surprises and challenges down the road, but Harper knew that she could face anything with her loving, wonderful family.
She would live happily ever after with her mate and her beautiful family every single day.
