Parallel mediation

I think this model also needs a link between B1 and B2. I need to check on that though.
graph LR;
A-- a1 --> B1 -- b1-->C;
A-- a2 --> B2 -- b2-->C;
A--> |c'| C;
\(B_1 = \beta_0 + a_1 \cdot A + e_i\)
\(B_2 = \beta_0 + a_2 \cdot A + e_i\)
\(C=\beta_0 + c' \cdot A + b_1 \cdot B1 + b_2 \cdot B2 + e_i\)
The pathways are
\(a_1 \cdot b_1\)
\(a_2 \cdot b_2\)
