"It's a girl!" the doctor announced from between Jack's legs.
"A girl? Did you hear that Bobby? I have a little girl," Jack said unaware of the tears rolling down his cheeks at this moment.
"Yeah I did. Congratulations little bro," Bobby said smiling while kissing the side of Jack's head.
"When can I see her?" Jack asked reaching out for his daughter.
"Let's just get her cleaned up and then you can," the doctor said smiling at the pair.
"So what are you going to name her?" Bobby asked finally sitting down to rest after 18 long hours.
'Has it really only been 18 hours since Jackie went into labor?' Bobby thought to himself.
"Bobby?" Jack asked again getting a little scared when his brother didn't even look up at him.
"Huh? Sorry kid didn't hear ya," Bobby said.
"I said I'm going to name her Gracie Lucy Mercer," Jack said.
"You better fucking be kidding me kid," Bobby said meaning business.
No way in hell was his kid brother naming his niece THAT.
"Happy to see you're back," Jack said smiling.
"Here you go sir," the nurse said handing Jack his daughter for the very first time.
"Look at her! She's so tiny!" Jack said.
"That's the way they usually come kid," Bobby said trying to hide a smile.
"Real mature Jackie," Bobby said when in response he got a tongue stuck out at him.
"Who said I had to be mature?" Jack asked.
"I did," Bobby said not being able to take his eyes off his niece.
"And who made you boss?" Jack asked also keeping his eyes on his daughter.
"Considering you have her now, you better be more mature then you were a year ago," Bobby said.
"I set fire to your coat once! Are you ever going to let me live that down?" Jack asked.
"That was you?" Bobby asked.
"No it wasn't. Must be those drugs they gave me," Jack said.
"They haven't given you drugs in the last hour," Bobby said.
"Actually we just give him a mild pain killer," the nurse said.
"See?" Jack said.
"Don't roll your eyes at me mister," Jack said.
"Yes mother," Bobby said.
"Just go get her uncles," Jack said.
"And what do you say?" Bobby asked.
"Umm…fucking now, bitch!" Jack said.
"Hey don't forget who was by your side for the last 18 hours straight," Bobby said walking towards the door.
He knew if he didn't get his ass out there, then he'd have two very pissed off brothers on his ass. Ever since they'd found out that Jackie was pregnant, Angel and Jeremiah had been mother hens to Jack. Making sure he ate when he was supposed to, got enough sleep and got to his doctor appointments. What Bobby wouldn't admit was that he had been the worse of the three of them.
"If you go outside and see a flower growing in the sidewalk don't bring it back in here. And if you see a woman who's pregnant don't come back in here," Jack said.
"Say what?" Bobby asked raising his eyebrow.
He was starting to wonder just what all was in those drugs they gave Jackie.
"It's a song," Jack said like that explained it all.
"Country. The shit she for some fucking reason likes," Jack said.
"Yeah I def have to stay around now. Got to make sure you don't screw her up kid," Bobby said walking out of the door before Jack could say something else.
"I'm going to screw you up. No I'm not. Uncle Bobby is just grumpy because he hasn't had his beauty sleep," Jack said smiling down at his daughter who currently was looking up at him..
"I'll leave you alone for awhile. Just call the nurses' station if you need anything," the nurse said.
"Will do," Jack said blushing red.
He'd totally forgotten that the nurse was still in the room with him.
Waiting room
"What took you so long?" Angel asked jumping up from his seat.
Had Jeremiah not been there, then he'd been in the room finding out what was going on. He and Jeremiah had been there since Jack had gone into labor. Jeremiah had been kicked out within the first hour of them being there. He, Angel hadn't been kicked out. He chose to leave when he saw how much pain his baby brother was in. He felt helpless knowing there wasn't anything he could do for him. Or that's the story he'd give you anyways. Really Jack hadn't wanted anyone but Bobby in the room. He couldn't explain it, but it helped having just Bobby in the room. He only felt comfortable around Bobby for some reason.
"Sorry it's not my fault the kid didn't want to come out," Bobby said.
"So what is it?" Jeremiah asked.
"A baby," Bobby said.
"No shit man! Is it a boy or girl?" Jeremiah asked.
"Why don't you go take a look for yourselves?" Bobby asked.
So with that all three men headed back to Jack's room.
Jack's room
"She's cute man," Angel said.
"Yes she is. And don't you be forgetting that," Jack said.
"So what's her name?" Jeremiah asked.
"Evelyn Grace Mercer," Jack said.
"Mom would be proud kid," Angel said.
"I know she is," Jack said.
"So can I hold my niece or what?" Jeremiah asked.
"Hey if anyone gets to hold her first it's me," Bobby said.
"Here. Don't you dare drop my daughter," Jack said handing his daughter over to her uncle.
"Jackie I'm not going to drop my niece," Bobby said.
"You better not," Jack said.
While the guys were playing pass the baby, Jack took the time to catch some zzzzs. He knew he'd be up within a couple of hours anyways.
2 am
"Hey we'll catch you tomorrow," Jeremiah whispered to Bobby seeing that Jack was already sleeping.
"Yeah," Bobby said taking his sleeping niece back from her uncle Angel.
"Thanks for staying," Jack mumbled half asleep still.
"No problem kid. By the way Happy mother's day," Angel said.
"Fuck off! I'm not a mother," Jack said.
"You had her. So what does that make you?" Bobby asked.
"Her father," Jack said.
"If you're her father then who had her?" Bobby asked placing his niece into her crib.
Once her mother fell asleep he was going to take her down to the nursery so they could both get a good night's rest.
"Her mother," Jack said not realizing what game Bobby was playing at.
"So happy mother's day Jackie boy," Bobby said smiling.
"Fuck off…all of you," Jack said turning over and falling back to sleep.
"See you two tomorrow," bobby said smiling along with his other two brothers.
After both of them were gone he took Evelyn to the nursery for the night. He stood there at the window for a good hour watching her sleep his last name on her tiny wrist. It was about 3:30 when he decided to take her to Jackie's room for the night. He knew if Jack woke up and didn't have her by his side, he'd freak out. Or that's what he'd tell you. For some reason HE didn't want her out of his site.
Once they got back to the room, he got comfortable for what would be a very long night. But Bobby wouldn't chance it for anything. It didn't matter that for the next year the house would be non stop crying and diaper changes. If he could rewind the clock, he wouldn't. Everything happened for a reason just like Ma used to say.
"Happy Mother's day ma," Bobby said before falling to sleep.
THE END
AN: All I'd like to say is HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to any mothers reading this.
