Alec held Ari's hand until she dozed off. It was weird to think he was going to be an uncle today if everything went alright. It had to. Claire had two amazingly strong parents. How could she not be born a badass...

He moved his hand from his sister's and let her sleep. She was going to need it. He let her sleep and went to Colt.

He rumbled into Colt's throat.
