I can't believe my eyes. It's official? I'm not leaving? Tears start spilling out of my eyes, but this time, they're happy. I look up at Medda, who has a big, darling smile on her face.

"Merry Christmas, honey." She holds out her arms for an embrace. I practically dash into her arms.

We stay like that for a while before breaking the embrace. I look over the certificate again, when something catches my eye.

"Antonio Higgins"

I haven't gotten my name changed yet. Shouldn't it say my deadname? I look back at Medda, confused.

"Do you not remember me going to get your name changed?" I shake my head. "Oh. It was back in October. How do you not remember?"

"I don't think you ever told me."

"Hm." She shrugs.

"So...I'm not..."

"You're officially Antonio now, yes."

And the tears are back, stronger than before. This time, I fall to the ground. When I look back up, Medda, Jack, and Charlie are all there.

My family.

My official family.

Best. Fucking. Christmas. Ever.
