Cassie carries her baby to full-term, and gives birth on the reservation to a beautiful baby boy she names Connor. Originally, she hadn't thought past giving birth to the little life that she was trying to protect from Alex, so she's not really sure what her plan is from here on out.
Through the pregnancy, Will and his family took amazing care of her, and welcomed her on to the reservation. Although she was first seen as strange because of her race, people have grown to love her, because she's Cassie and she doesn't try to fit it. She just assimilates due to her character. She's formed a little home in the desert, and isn't quite ready to leave. For weeks, when she's just approaching 9 months, she has an anxiety that she can't seem to shake. Fear of the future has begun to grip her, and she can't forsee how she will react when she holds her son in her arms.
Of course, being Cassie, she is naturally protective, and decides that the tiny life that she holds so dear may need a few more months before meeting his father. Connor is so fragile that Cassie is incredibly scared of the pain he may encounter when he meets his father. But, nonetheless, she ends up calling Alex when she hears that his cover has been blown.
Meanwhile, Alex is drinking himself into a stupor, distraught over where his one true love could have gone, and why she would have left him in the first place. He promises himself that if she calls he'll tell her he'll do anything to get her back, even go to therapy, or sleep in a separate room, to try to prevent his abuse of her.
So when she calls, he's striving to see her so deeply that he breaks his promise to her to leave her alone for another month. She tells him where she is and he is there in at least two weeks, two weeks before he promised.
But their reunion is nothing I expected, or wanted. She is perpetually forgiving, and holds him in her arms with all the love in the world, and shows him his son. Although he's afraid he will break Connor if he even touches him, she lets him hold Connor and sees how good a father he could become. Cassie and Alex are back together. Despite what Will has ever wanted.
Will, of course goes off into a rage once Cassie leaves with Alex. Because he can no longer protect the woman he loves, he is lost. And wanders around the reservation with no purpose in mind, other than redemption for her.
Cassie flies back to L.A. to her life as Alex's wife and Connor's mother. Will she be protected because of Connor? Will Connor be protected? Or will Alex fall back into the same pattern that his father taught him growing up?
