He could feel it.

He knew.

“What are you going to name her?” Jo croaks.

I look to Tanner, and I smile. I smile because he knows. He knows who sent her to us. He knows why she’s here. He knows there is a reason they look the same. This little girl is our completion. The glue to all our broken pieces. The most beautiful soul come back to complete us once more.

“Celia,” Tanner whispers, his eyes red and glassy.

Jo sobs.

I look down and smile, my whole world finally complete. “Welcome to the world, Celia.”

THE END
