Chapter 14 - Seventeen Years After Sebastian Lost His Son, He Returned to the NICU With Lucas Beside Him—And Finally Put the Old Bracelet AwayLucas was seventeen when he asked Sebastian to return to Pine Valley.
He stood beside him at the NICU entrance.
“You ready?”
Sebastian smiled.
“I think so.”
They walked into the unit.
I met them at the desk.
Lucas hugged me.
Sebastian looked around.
Then he reached into his pocket.
The old bracelet.
He had carried it for seventeen years.
Lucas stared.
“Dad.”
Sebastian looked at the bracelet.
“I think it's time.”
He placed it in Lucas's hand.
“You keep it.”
Lucas looked confused.
“Why?”
“Because it belongs to you.”
Lucas closed his fingers around it.
Then hugged his father.
I looked away.
