boy.
    “Middle name?” he asks, pulling me out of my mini-panic.
    I know immediately. “Carlotta,” I whisper.
    Jesse nods. “Perfect.”
    “No more calling her baby girl Kingston,” the nurse tells us.
    “Kaid Lorenzo. Killian Matthew. Konnor Anthony. Kierah Carlotta.” I look at Jesse. “They’re all perfect little Kingstons.”
    We are truly blessed.

N EW LIFE PUTS things into perspective. So does death and I know Jana’s dead or wishing she were. I want to howl in frustration, in anger, and I want to blame Giovanni and Cage, but I’m not stupid. I know it’s not their fault. They’ve been doing everything they can to protect us all—and it was my parents who got us wrapped up with the Manzinis to begin with. They’re the ones who couldn’t pay their debts to both Giovanni and the Manzinis, and while Gio got his closure with their deaths, the Manzinis didn’t. That shit doesn’t go away just because they’re dead. Someone has to pay and I guess it’s my sister.
    “What was she thinking?” Lucy asks, horrified.
    “I don’t know, Luce. He probably conned her.”
    “At the price of her life! Jesse, I’m so sorry.”
    She reaches for me and I walk into her open arms, letting her hold me, calm me.
    “I don’t know what to do, Luce,” I whisper against her neck as she runs her fingers through my hair. “If she comes back, she’s going to be so fucked up.” I shudder at the thought.
    “Shh. I don’t know which would be worse,” she admits, saying exactly what I’m thinking.
    “I don’t wish her dead, but if they did kill her, I hope it was quick. And if they tortured her and raped her and she’s alive—”
    “Then we’ll deal with it. We’ll help her the best we can.”
    I hear the tremble in Lucy’s voice and I know she’s trying hard to believe the words she’s saying. I nod against her neck, breathing in her scent, letting it calm me. Only she can do this for me. The mother of my children. God. She’s just… everything.
    I hold her tighter and she tightens in return.
    “I love you so much, Luce. I was so scared in there today. I have no idea what I would do without you.”
    “Shh, Jesse. It’s okay. You won’t ever have to find out.”
    I nod again, just holding on, trying not to lose my shit like I did earlier. She doesn’t need that right now. This is already too much.
    There’s a soft knock at the door and I sit up, wiping my eyes, positioning myself next to Lucy on the bed.
    “Come in,” she calls out.
    “There you are,” Sera says, walking in quickly, straight to Lucy. The hug is instant. “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
    “I’m fine,” Lucy whispers.
    Sera pulls back. “Don’t ever do that again!”
    Lucy snickers. “I’ll do my best.”
    “Good,” Sera tells her with a nod. “They all want to know if they can come in.”
    Lucy smiles. “Of course.”
    “She said to get your butts in here!” Sera yells and the door opens—chaos erupts.
    I sit there holding Lucy’s hand while she fields questions, replying to the ones she doesn’t have the answers to.
    “So tells us,” Regina begins. “What did you name them?”
    “The K Quads!” Xan announces and I can’t help but laugh.
    “Catchy,” Lucy snickers.
    “Names!” Meggie says with a bounce.
    “Kaid Lorenzo,” Lucy says and Carlotta gasps.
    “That’s such a lovely thing to do,” Nana Russo tells Lucy. Giovanni nods his agreement.
    “Killian Matthew.”
    “Holy smokes,” Sera says wiggling her eyebrows.
    Lucy laughs and I glare. Them and their fucking M. Shadows.
    “Konnor Anthony,” I announce, meeting Lucy’s dad’s gaze and his eyes get shiny as he grins.
    “Thank you,” he says.
    “It makes me proud to name my boy after a good man.
    “You’ve always supported me no matter what. I know you’ll do the same with our boys,” Lucy says softly and Anthony inclines his head. Regina goes to his side, wrapping her arms around him.
    “Such a thoughtful thing to do,” Regina
