It had been 8 months since the stabbing, and Trevor was getting better and better every day. He was required to walk with a walking cane and often wore a brace to relieve pressure on his nerve damaged leg, but all the same he was recovering.

Arlene and Eugene were recovering too. They put aside all their former quarrels and within 2 months of the stabbing, had gotten married.

"Pay it Forward" was also flourishing. The concept had stretched to all corners of the globe, from Canada, to Brazil, to China, to the UK, and even as far as places such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovenia, though Trevor had never even heard of such places. He had also been met by an Author named Catherine Ryan Hyde, who was going to right a story about him and Pay it Forward, but with a twist of tragedy to make it more of a "What if" story, which Trevor somehow liked the concept of.

On this particular day, Trevor was walking home when Mr. Simonet pulled up beside him in his car, sweating from head to toe.

"Trevor! It's coming!" Mr. Simonet opened the door for Trevor and he wasted no time in getting into the car. Even for a cane-bound 12 year-old, he was still quick.

They drove down to the hospital and ran to the elevators, heading to the fourth floor and just as they reached the door, they heard a high-pitched squeal from Arlene, followed by the cries of a baby. Trevor's mouth gaped a bit and a small tear escaped his eye as he leaned on his cane, an overjoyed smile spreading across his lips. Soon, the doctor opened the door and had Eugene sign something before letting them into the room. There, on the bed, sat Arlene, cradling a newborn baby boy in her arms.

"Trevor?" Arlene spoke, "Come here. I have someone for you to meet."

Trevor hobbled over and stood right beside his mother. The baby smiled at him and babbled a bit, taking in it's brand new surroundings. Trevor's Grandmother, Grace was stood in the corner, drinking a glass of water and trying her best to keep composure, but crying unstoppable tears of joy.

"This is your baby brother," Arlene gave Trevor the baby as he sat down, "You can name him, honey. You're always good with naming."

Trevor smiled at the little bundle and kissed the baby's forehead. Another tear trickled down his face as he came up with the name.

"Chase," He grinned and kissed his baby brother again, Chase Simonet McKinney."

Grace, Arlene and Eugene smiled at Trevor and Chase, happily. Trevor swore to always be there for his brother for life. And he's kept his word to this very day.
