Following The Heart

Chapter 27

Lucas reached out to him.

(I've missed you. And I love you son.) Lucas proclaimed.

Brian surprised when his father pulled him into a hug.

Brian hugged him back gently.

Not sure if he deserved his father's Grace or willingness to give him another chance.

...

Days Later

The doctor was seated across from Lucas and Brooke.

He had a folder in his hand and he looked to the couple.

Brooke had her hand in Lucas 's. Prepared for whatever the results would be.

(This is where we were last time. This is where we are are now.)

(You are Cancer free. That last round was what you needed.)

(I'm truly happy for you.) The doctor said.

Lucas felt his heart leap into his throat.

(Thank you.) Lucas replied.

There were things the doctor was explaining.

But at the moment. The couple couldn't hear any of it.

Brooke grabbed onto him. Hugging him tightly.

Lucas kissed her and thanked her.

(There is nowhere else I was supposed to be.) Brooke stated matter of fact.

The couple left the office hand and hand.

Lucas felt a wave of relief wash over him.

The rest of their life could start again. The family was going to be rebuilt.
