A/N I'll be adding to IGYB-YGM but this dropped into my head and I couldn't get it out. :-)
"Hey there." Frank peeked his head into the room with a grin.
"Hi..." Eddie greeted sleepily, instinctually straightening in the bed.
Frank's eyes drifted to Jamie standing in the corner but he walked to Eddie first, dropping a paternal kiss to her forehead, "How you doing?"
"Tired." She admitted. "Hungry" She grinned self-effacingly; Jamie snickered.
"He taking care of you?" Frank tilted his head in his son's direction.
"Always." Eddie nodded.
Frank's smile grew. "Good. You deserve it, Detective." He patted her arm.
Jamie stepped up to his father's shoulder, "You ready to meet the newest Reagan?"
Frank took a step back from Eddie's bed and turned to his son. His mustache twitched as the corners of his lips pushed up as he looked over the small bundle in Jamie's arms.
He hesitantly pulled back the edge of the pink blanket with a finger, biting the inside of his lip as the cherubic face was revealed. He swallowed, "Jamie..." He whispered in awe.
"You want to hold her?" Jamie tilted his head, smiling proudly.
Frank gave a stilted nodded.
Jamie smiled and carefully shifted his daughter into his father's waiting arms.
Frank cradled her high on his chest and tilted his neck, "Hi angel; I'm your Grandpa."
The infant's eyes opened and regarded him steadily before blinking closed again and settling back into sleep.
"Have you finally decided on a name?" Frank asked, not looking up.
Jamie rocked on his heels, hands in his back pockets as he looked to his wife. Eddie smiled back, giving a nod.
Jamie cleared his throat, "Josephine."
Frank looked up sharply, eyes wide.
Jamie shifted uncertainly, "Josephine Grace Reagan. But we're thinking Josie for short."
Frank looked back, blinking and swallowing a frown.
After a beat, he smiled affectionately at his son, nodding once and looking back at his new granddaughter, "Hi there Josephine Grace." His lips pursed, "Little Josie."
The room was quiet and Jamie leaned against the bed, holding Eddie's hand as they watched Frank look over his newest grandchild.
He took a shuttered breath, frowning a long moment. "So this is it..." He whispered.
Jamie and Eddie exchanged looks.
"What is that, Dad?" Jamie asked.
Frank looked back with a watery smile. "God's plan." He sighed, "Joe's death contributed to your decision to become a cop when you did. Which is how you ended up with Eddie.." He looked down, "And how we ended up here."
He looked to Jamie, "Joe died, so she could live. Had he lived, whatever it is she does with her life wouldn't have happened."
His face crinkled in amazement, "Little Josie here is the personification of God's plan."
He stroked her face with a finger, "I wonder what he has planned for you." He mused. "What are you going to do little Miss Josie Grace?"
