Katherine held Jax's face in her hands then her tears streamed freely down her cheeks.
"Jax," she whispered again as if saying his name could make him more real. "My boy. You're finally here."
Jax felt something wet seeping through her sweater against his cheek.
'Is that...?'
Katherine pulled back slightly laughing through tears. She noticed the wet spots on her sweater and his cheek.
"Oh god, I'm so sorry." She covered her chest with her arms, "The baby, the hormones. I've been leaking and I forgot to put on the pads before I came out. I just... when I heard you were coming, I got so emotional and I forgot everything and I'm sorry, this is so inappropriate..."
Jax's voice came out instinctively and quickly. "It's fine. Really. Are you okay?"
The concern in his tone surprised even him.
Katherine's eyes welled up again. She cupped his face with both hands, thumbs stroking his cheeks.
