"Joe. I'm pregnant." Rachel whispere hesitantly, like she was worried about my answer.
"Pregnaant...I'mgoing to be a father?" I questioned excitedly, a huge grin spread across my face.
Rachel smiled and nodded. I picked her up in my arms and twirled her around.
"Joe! Joe put me down!" she laughed.
I grinned and put her down.
"A father...I'm going to be a father..." I whispered.
Seven Months Later:
"Rachel, she's in danger. Our little girl is going to be in danger,and you will be too. The Circle..." I trailed off, tears spilling down my cheeks.
"Shh, it'll be okay Joe, we'll figure it out..." Rachel said soothingly, stroking my head.
"Rachel, what about Matthew. He's my best friend, he's close to bringing down the Circle. You coLDL pretend to marry him, use his last name. You would still me Rachel Solomon, my wife, but this would keep you safer. Should we try?" I questioned.
She nodded.
"As long as our little girl is safe, right?" she said with a shaky smile.
I nodded and called Matthew.
"Matthew, can you come over? It's important."
"Sure, Joe. I was just heading by and I'm already at the door, so..."
I walked to the front door and opened it.
"Hey." I said with a small smile.
He grinned and slammed me on the back.
"How's the daddy?" he asked.
I smiled.
"This is what I want to talk you about."
He noddedand sat down inrecline rainier next to the couch.
"Sup, Rache."
She smiled.
"Sup, Matt."
I sat down next to Rachel on the couch.
"Matt, this is going to sound like a lot but...Rachel and our daughter are in danger due to my involvement in the Circle. She would be safer of you were to pretend marry her. Would you do that."
He didn't even hesitate to answer.
"Yes, because you guys are my best friends. I better be the godfather though." he warned.
Rache smiled, relieved.
"Of course, Matt. Who else would be?"
Two Months Later:
"She's beautiful." I murmured.
Rachel smiled at our daughter.
"What would you like to name her?" the nurse asked with a gentle smile.
"How about Cameron?" I asked Rachel.
She smiled and nodded.
"Cameron. I like that name. Cameron Ann Solomon."
I smiled and nodded.
"And you will have two birth certificates with the surname 'Solomon' and two with the surname 'Morgan,' the one with the surname Morgan beingget here, in her file. Correct?"
I nodded. Of course, the nurse works for the CIA. This hospital wthe owned by the CIA.
"Joe, hold your baby girl." Rachel said and handed me Cameron.
"Hi Cammie." I whispered as I rocked her in my arms.
"My baby girl. Daddy's little girl."
