Temperance's POV
Jeff sat behind me while I screamed through another contraction. I thought I was dreaming of the day I gave birth to Raven, but this was a different place. It was not Gran's cabin. But it was Gran acting as midwife. "Come on, Temperance push, and he'll be here."
The dream shifted, and I was in front of the packhouse of Erie Lake, but the man at my side was Jeff and not Gideon. "We fought our battles, and now we can be together forever," Jeff said as he stepped in front of me. He felt so real when I touched his cheek. I felt his warmth and love all around me. I looked down and saw I was heavily pregnant. "I will raise him as if he was mine." Jeff pulled me into his arms.
"Jeff," I said to him. "I love you."
