We’d missed Rebecca by seconds, they told us, and she was already in a wheelchair on her way up to the delivery room.Despite their ability to relay all of the necessary details to me and Luke, neither Grace nor Lonnie really knew how to handle the sudden onset of their nerves; their feelings, though, were justifiable in every sense, and had everything to do with the fact that they were about to become grandparents again. It’d only been a few months since Rebecca had sat Luke’s father and step-mother down to tell them the truth about who she was and why she’d come to Oakland, and her revelation had hit them like a ton of bricks. Rebecca knew she had no choice but to come clean and spill the beans, especially with another baby on the way. She couldn’t imagine bringing another child into the world without the family it deserved. Rebecca’s admission to the Reibecks resulted in a huge wave of relief from Luke. He was finally off the hook—no more secrets, no more sneaking around, no more lying to his parents.
