"Ian, what's up?"

"Haze– she's in labour I'm taking her to the hospital."

"Shit," All sleep left my body as it went into alert, "I'll be on the way with Q."

"Alright. Oh no it'll be okay hun—" He hung up when my sister groaned in the background. Quincey stirred beside me and I kissed her cheek as I shook her gently.

"Q, wake up, baby," She grumbled before she opened her eyes and smiled sleepily at me and God did I not want to make love of her this early in the morning every day. "We've got to go, Haze is going to have the baby anytime."

Her eyelids opened fully, she sat up and the blanket fell from her body exposing her naked tits that I wanted to suck and lick until her hands threaded in my hair but unfortunately now wasn't the time.

"It's so cold... and early," She croaked hugging the blanket to her body as she got up and headed toward the closet.

"You could sleep if you want and come later on, I just thought that you'd—"

"Mads, it's okay, I want to be there. Haze is one of my best friends and I wouldn't want to miss that moment for the world."

I tugged on my shirt and then my pants, "Okay, I'll get a few snacks ready for us to eat on the way while you get ready."

"I won't take long," She promised smiling over her shoulder and letting the blanket fall to the floor as she started getting dressed.

I left the bedroom with a hard on growing between my legs.

"Hey, she'll be fine. Ian is with her and Mom and Dad are on their way."

I sat down on the cold metal chair of the hospital and put my arms on my thighs as I cupped my jaw while my foot tapped against the floor. Quinn's hand rubbed soothingly against my back as we sat in the waiting area. I took her free palm and left a kiss on her fingers, "I'm just nervous."

"I can tell," She smiled, "She'll be fine and you're going to be crowned an uncle anytime soon."

I smiled despite myself and leaned back against the chair. I had no idea how to hold a baby for God's sake but I was so damn excited to see my little niece grow with two loving parents Hazel and I were unfortunate to lose and I knew how good she'll be with him.

Derik and Lou arrived a few minutes later holding drinks. They gave Quinn and I each a cup before sitting down. Clearly Lou was more jittery than me and my heart squeezed in my chest. I might've lost my parents, but Lou and Derik were like second parents to Haze and I since we were little and for everything they've done to us the little I could do was to treat their daughter like the queen she is.

The nurse walked out of the doors, a smile lightening his face as we stood up, "The baby is here. He and the mother are both healthy. Congratulations."

"Can we go inside?" I asked eagerly.

"It's best if the mother can rest for a bit first. We will be sure to inform you when you're allowed to," I nodded grudgingly and we muttered thank you's.

Quinn took my arm before I could sit and I looked over at her, "How about we go to the stores near by and get them some flowers? Mom and Dad will stay here with them."

"Yeah, you guys should get some air and spend some time until we're allowed to go inside. Don't worry about your sister, we will stay here."

I nodded, "Thanks guys, I appreciate all of you being here. Haze and I are lucky to have you in our lives."

Lou pouted as she stood up and invited me in, "You're such a sweet boy Max, come here," We shared a brief hug before I met Derik's eyes who sent me a nod and a small smile before I took Quinn's hand in mine and led us outside of the stuffy hospital hallway.

"Why have you bought three bouquets? One is enough and I've already got a chocolate box," Quinn asked when we met at the cashier register after we separated in the store to get everything quicker.

I payed for our items and reached for the bags, thanking the cashier and threading Q's fingers with mine on our way out.

"Because Hazel isn't the only women in my life who deserves pretty flowers."

Quinn swung our hands back and forth as we walked back to the hospital, "Mads," She cooed tilting her head to the side and smiling at me before her lips met the side of my cheek briefly, "I love the sweet side of you," She continued swinging our hands as she went on, making my chest squeeze and goosebumps erupt on my skin with her words, "In fact I love the way you smile and laugh because of me. You have this incredible way of making me happy and I'm afraid of how much emotions and love I hold for you and I want you to know that my heart is so full of you that every other man blurs in the background when I'm with you."

This time I was the one who stopped. I put the bag I was holding down before taking her face between my palms and looking through her beautiful piercing eyes, "You can't say stuff like this to me in public and make me have a heart attack or make love of you in front of everyone. This pretty mouth of yours? I'll have a few words with it when we're alone," I smacked my lips against hers for a short moment before I forced myself to pull away but not without biting on her bottom lip and forcing a moan out of that dangerous mouth of hers.

I lifted the bag from the floor and wrapped my arm around her shoulder as we continued our walk. I faced her with a smile and kissed the crown of her head as I murmured, "I don't understand how you fell for me Q, all I know is that I'm the luckies bastard alive and I'll continue to love you until every fucking star in the galaxy burns."

Tbh I wasn't planing on making this the last chapter and it never crossed my mind while writing this that it will be the last one but just as I completed it I thought of how perfect this ending is although the chapter from the start isn't the best and I was planning on them meeting little Kai and all but I think I've dragged this book enough and it's about time I let it go and it's just so hard to believe that this is the ending that i didn't even expect but I think this is enough and leaving it as it is until I decide to edit/rewrite it is for the best.

I think I might write two or one more chapters for a proper ending or just edit this one if I feel like it but idk when that will be.

Thank you endlessly for all the love and support that gave me the motivation to continue writing and sticking to this book. I've completed like two books before this, one was absolute crap that I wanted to complete it for the sake of it and the other (Entice) was decent but was too rushed and the writing was too forced so this is actually the first official book I've completed and loved dearly.

And since Entice (which I took down) wasn't so bad I'm planing on rewriting it and changing most of the plot and all of that jazz. But I think it'll have to sit in my drafts for a bit longer since I'm currently working on other books.

Okay i think this is all for now. Again thank you for sticking around.

I appreciate you.
