We didn't know what was next or what was coming next. None of us did. A wave of dizziness washed over me as I stood, my legs wobbly like a newborn fawn. Relief battled with a dull ache in my chest as I saw Liam barreling towards me.
His small arms wrapped around my waist in a fierce hug, his voice muffled against my stomach, shrieking, "Mommy!" The hug nearly knocked me off my feet. "Mommy's okay! Mommy's okay!"
Tears welled up in my eyes at the affection. I squeezed him back, burying my face in his soft hair. A choked sob escaped my lips as I released the terror that had gripped me throughout the battle into this embrace with my son.
"Yo! We're all back in business now! Time to rock and roll!" Cullen's booming voice cut through the emotional moment.
