This, of course, set off my new baby, who had been asleep in the bassinet beside me. His wails joined in Banshee’s, and then the other kids started screaming too.
To some it might have seemed a chaotic mess, to me it was family. Something I’d wanted for so long and never thought I’d get.
Then my husband walked into the room, searched around, his face visibly softening when he saw me holding our newborn son. Walking over, he sat down beside me and pulled me under his arm as he ran the tip of his finger over Hudson’s nose.
It hadn’t been easy, but we’d got there.
Sven and Maggie called it our boom. At this moment, I’d call it our sonic explosion.
The End
