When the doctor puts the baby in Jane's chest for the first time, he feels his heart exploding. She is crying loudly but slowly stops when Jane starts whispering to her, caressing her with feather touches, cradling her closer. She looks at her with big blue eyes, the first person to ever see, her mommy, and neither he nor Jane can hold their tears anymore. She is theirs and she is absolutely perfect. They look at each other and their baby and they cannot believe that they have made it there, that they now have a daughter, a family.
He looks in awe memorizing every single moment of this first encounter. The two creatures he loves more than anything in the world. Their daughter squirming in her mother's arms, moving her little hands, looking into her eyes. He can swear she knows who she is; she recognizes Jane's voice, the same voice she heard every night for the last months reading stories to her, singing to her, telling her how she can't take anymore her daddy hovering around all the time. Does she remember her voice? What had Dr Borden said about that?
They are talking to him now but he cannot hear anything but his daughter's first noises and his heart's beats. "Would you like to hold her, too?" It's Jane looking at him with a watery smile. He does. He stretches his arms and Jane puts her gently there. "It's your daddy," she whispers.
He brings her close to his chest and his daughter looks at him for the first time. Time stops. And he knows, he knows, that no matter what, he will unconditionally adore her till his last day. She is just so beautiful. She has her mommy's dark hair and his blue eyes. She looks like Jane but she also looks like him. He is smiling like an idiot and he's sure the baby smiles back.
"She's a beautiful baby Agent Weller, isn't she?" the doctor teasingly asks.
"She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," he says not taking his eyes of her.
"I have to settle for second best from now on, doc?" Jane asks brushing Kurt's arm.
"You will never stand a chance against her, Jane," he smiles.
Kurt keeps cradling the baby, staring at her eyes, touching her tiny little fingers with his. There no words to describe her.
"Agent Weller, we have to take her to clean her up and do some tests, okay?" the doctor says while a nurse gently takes the baby from a very unwilling Kurt.
"Can I just hold her for a minute, please?" It's Jane realizing that she's already terribly missing having her daughter in her arms. She takes her again, holding tighter this time, pushing her forehead against her daughter's. "Mommy loves you baby, I love you. They have to take you for a few minutes but we'll be together in no time and we will not be apart again, never."
She looks questioningly at the doctor and he smiles. "Never," he reassures her and when Jane keeps staring at him he laughs. "Have I ever lied to you Jane?" He hasn't, so, Jane hands the baby over feeling her heart aching.
"Agent Weller, can you also please step outside? You'll see them both in less than an hour."
"That's too much doc… Half an hour or I'll use my badge." The doctor nods and Kurt turns to Jane. She smiles, a wide glorious happy smile, as he frames her face in his hands. "I love you baby. You can't imagine how much I love you…" he says and pulls her in his chest kissing her hair. "Thank you Janie. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. She is so perfect…" he whispers and she hugs him tightly closing her eyes.
"We did it baby," she breathes in his chest, "Can you believe she is ours? Can you believe it?" She's crying now, all the stress and fear and agony of the last few months washing away. He kisses her tears away reassuring her.
When he steps out in the hallway, he is not sure he remembers how to breathe anymore. Their universe has been transformed. Its center has been shifted and they are both now eternally orbiting around their newborn sun. He can't think about anything else but her blue eyes and Jane's smile. Nothing else matters.
He looks at his watch. He gives the doc another twenty minutes before her enters in there with his badge to see his girls. He knows he is ridiculous, he knows they owe to her doctor eternal gratitude for everything he has done for them, but he just needs to be with them. He's aching for them.
