It’s a mindfuck, but in the best possible way. I just wish I could enjoy it properly. Without all the stress and worry and fear. If only Polly was here and safe, then I could celebrate this news the way it deserves to be celebrated: with fireworks and champagne and the heads of anyone who’s ever dared to threaten my family posted up on spikes in the front yard.
The moment Dr. Grigory has driven away, I head into my office and start pacing. It takes a few circuits around my office before I start to process everything that’s just been confirmed.
I’m going to be a father. I genuinely thought this moment would happen years down the line—but now that it’s upon me, I feel ready. This is a chance for me to redeem myself. This is a second chance for all of us.
And by all of us, I mean my family
