August 25th, 2017, Private clinic, London, UK.

Danielle flopped back against the pillows, exhausted by the last, strongest thrust. She was breathing hard, but the fatigue was nothing, because the most important thing was that he showed up.

A small, screaming screaming boy whom the nurse had just wrapped in a towel and whose gender the doctor had informed a moment earlier.

Danielle cried with happiness, as did George, who held her hand and attended the birth of his firstborn.

— We have a boy — George croaked and kissed Danielle on the sweaty forehead. — I can't believe it ...

As the nurse brought the baby to them, Danielle took it carefully in her hands. They did not know yet what to name their son, although they already had some ideas ...

—Anselmo — George was as sure as ever. —That name has power. If not another Anselmo, the parents of this newborn would never have met.

Danielle stared at the little son who was the little miracle that saved his own father. The baby was the reason George went into rehab and started psychological therapy. George fought for his new family, trying to be a better partner for Danielle and a better parent to Hallie and the baby to be born.

After the tragedy with Laurie and Dominic, Danielle didn't know if she really wanted to continue the pregnancy. The police investigated, questioned witnesses, and concluded that Dante was acting in self-defense.

During the investigation it turned out that Laurie suffered from schizophrenia and was going through a difficult period of illness, and unfortunately began to meet Dominic, who brought her into a plan to take revenge on George and Danielle. They were responsible for the deaf calls, vulgar texts and for Kristen's death, which was supposed to be a warning. And yes - they were going to hurt Danielle and her famous lover.

Danielle, despite returning to save George, did not want to hear of her reconnection with him. However, George had promised her he would seek help - and when she saw that he was starting to act, she wondered if she should give him a chance.

Yes, it continued. Danielle was more careful because she knew George was inconsistent in decisions, at least for the moment. But George was stubborn, apparently reevaluating his own life.

His determination to recover surprised Danielle, her relatives and George's family.

The motivation was the will to live a normal life, as well as the one that came into being. George insisted that Danielle bear the baby.

—If you don't want him, I can always raise this child myself — he decided, and he was dead serious.

Danielle disgusted with abortion, but here she wasn't sure if she wanted this pregnancy. And to have a child with George who had so many problems.

But she decided that she would give birth, and George began to seek help for himself. Knowing that he could get his old girlfriend back and that he would be a father for the first time gave him wings.

The press lived a long time about the attack in Goring and the fact that the famous gay singer returned to his ex-girlfriend and was to be a father.

Now little Anselmo rested in his mother's arms, only to be in his father's arms a moment later. George watched with emotion at the child who had changed everything.

Everything he had for years called happiness had turned bland the moment he saw his son for the first time and picked him up. Another binder of happiness was Danielle and Hallie.

—Anselmo Panayiotou — George stroked the child's forehead. — A great future awaits you, my son.

Danielle watched with emotion at the scene, also believing what George was saying. He had become a father in his fifties, quite late, but it was very likely that he might have been the best father in the world.

They were officially back together, though Danielle knew her partner would have sexual adventures with men. Even if their relationship does not survive, they will remain friends and be the best parents for little Anselmo.

George couldn't give her ordinary marriage and fidelity, but he loved her, she knew it. Although it was not an easy love.

My own love for him healed him, and now we have that little happiness. I came to Great Britain with no hope for better prospects and I got more than I wanted, although it was accompanied by turbulence. Now I want peace for us and our family.

George handed the baby back to her and took her hand.

—Thank you, Dani — he whispered, tears streaming down his cheek. —For everything - for your faith in me, for fighting for me, and for making me the happiest man on earth. You saved me.

—And thank you for being there and I want you to always be with us — she said, and he leaned down and kissed her on the lips. The sun came in through the window, and Danielle had the feeling that this was a special sign. Who knows, maybe Anselmo and Emiliano plotted together in the afterlife so that two lost souls - George and Danielle would find each other and save each other.

Anyway, it worked.
