Reid POV Hope. I feel hope. The talk, sleeping next to Annie and little Eth, was one of the best nights of my life. The most content, whole, full… I’ve ever felt. To me, I’m more than done. Now it’s just up to Annie. Am I moving to Australia after I retire, or is she moving here? And us being together… there’s no way she is saying no to that. I can’t help but smirk at her trying to argue against it. I understand her fears and I know I’ll always be fighting against Cam’s ghost and memories. I’m fine with that. I’m more than happy to fight for both of us. “OOPH!” I small body slams onto my stomach before a cheeky little giggle rings out. “Oy, trouble maker.” Annie laughs as I grab the squirming little body and start wrapping him in the blanket, making a giggling Ethan burrito.
