I've gone into labour. Jaime is by my side and the baby isn't early. I'm still not right, whatever right is, but I think I'm getting there. Tony told Jaime why I was so upset and scared that morning and he's been amazing. He has barely left my side over the last few weeks and it's reassured me no end.
"Push Cate" Jaime urges me as the doctor tells me to. I grip Jaime's hand as hard as I can and with one final push our baby is born. A little boy. I cry with happiness. So does Jaime.
"I was thinking" Jaime starts. I look up at him, holding our son and smile.
"Rowen. His name should be Rowen."
I see what he's done. He's taken Rhys and Owen and made a new name. In their memory. I like it. Rowen Preciado. It's got a nice ring to it. He gently hands Rowen to me and gets down on one knee.
"Marry me."
My mouth drops open in surprise. I stare for a moment before nodding, a smile creeping over my face. I know he loves me and I know I love him. This is our future.

Six months later I stand next to him as we say our vows. Scarlett and Anwen are our bridesmaids. Tony gave me away and Vic and Mike are the best men. It's a perfect ending.
