ramona cries. she cries for the pain she just endured, the sleepless nights she had to face, and she cries because the small bundle of joy in her arms started to wail. she cries happy tears, something she hasn't done since the day she was promised to another.
ramona kavinsky is a mother now and it's the most beautiful and terrifying thing in the whole world. when her son opens his tiny eyes, she falls in love one last time because his eyes are grey. henry's eyes. and she's never felt so happy in her whole life.
and when the nurse asks for a name, the name that leaves henry's lips makes ramona cry even harder as she mourns the loss of a life and the birth of a new one.
ramona kavinsky's heart feels whole, and it's as if it never once broke. and ramona kavinsky finally accepts the fact that she loves too easily because the love she feels for her family, for her friends, for henry, for darcy, for nick, and for julian—she would happily get her heart broken a thousand more times if it meant she could love them forever.
