Normally, I cried and she comforted me, so it was really difficult to know what to do when she cried.
'Mum, we're all hurt that Nate died but the sad reality is, we have to move on. I just saw him in my dream, and it terrifies me that I won't see him whenever I'm awake.' I hugged her.
'Kassy, Alicia told me what you said you would do for her, and I couldn't be prouder of you. I am so sorry for all the things I said to you. Believe me, I did not mean any of those. I love you and I am sure Alicia will love this baby.' She pulled away from me and looked at me.
I was sure Alicia was going to love the baby too, she had no other choice.
'You called me Kassy.' That was the first time mum called me Kassy.
'Yes, and I plan to make it the new norm.' She smiled.
'That is new and very welcome.'
'Oh, I love you so much, Kassy.'
