As promised here is the mini-chapter and baby name reveal!

Thank you to those who participated on Facebook. It was a lot of fun to read your suggestions. Let's see who was correct!

~Chapter 44~

"Now we just need a name for him," I point out as we make the most of having a few moments together, just the three of us before the rest of the family and well-wishers ambush us.

"I thought we decided on Seamus," Edward teases.

I send him a look, trying to be stern, but it's not long before my gaze drifts back to our son, who is currently nestled in his proud father's arms.

To say Edward is smitten would be an understatement; we both are. I can't stop looking at him; I can't believe he's here, and he's ours. The moment he was placed in my arms, he stole my heart – Edward's too. I can spend all day just looking at the two of them - mesmerized.

I don't think I've ever seen Edward so happy … so content. I never doubted he would be a devoted father but seeing it is something else; It's too precious, too perfect to put into words. I watch in awe as he reaches out, gently running his finger against the baby's face. His whole demeanor lights up, and his green eyes are shimmering with tears of pure joy. I can tell he's as overwhelmed and happy as I am.

"He's so perfect ..." I say for maybe the tenth time in an hour.

"He's all you, Bella," Edward praises.

Sensing I need a few moments, too, he places our son in my arms. My smile widens when he sits behind us, wrapping his arms around me as I settle back against him.

"Well, that's a lie; he's the best of both of us. And he still needs a name!"

Edward is quiet for a few moments, and when I glance up at him, he seems to be debating something because he has an expression on his face I just can't read.

"What about ... Charlie, or Charles?" He says softly.

I can only nod ... my throat tight, and my eyes fill with tears - touched by the gesture. I sniffed loudly, attempting to contain my tears, but it was useless. I was so overwhelmed; it sent me over the edge. I can't speak as the tears run down my cheeks unashamedly.

"Don't cry, baby," he said, brushing his fingers along my cheek and wiping the tears that were falling down my cheeks.

"Dad would have loved that," I force past the lump in my throat before adding, "What about Garrett?"

I can see Edward is touched, too; his whole face just lights up as his eye moved from me to our son.

"Garrett Charles Cullen; that has a good ring to it," he says, his voice thick.

Dad and Garrett would like that - they really would. I can't think of a better name ... or a more worthy way of honoring those we have lost.

I glance down at our son before my gaze lifts to Edward's warm green eyes. I never thought I would find a love like this. First with Edward and now with our son. He completes me ... and I can't wait to have a sibling for him.

And the best thing of all was this was just the start …

Author's note: We've almost reached the end. Barring any major disasters, I'll post the epilogue on Saturday!

This story is far from perfect, but you've made my day with your positivity and support during this crazy old year. I can't thank you enough. XX
