Chapter Eight

Millie's labor was a long one which was made even longer when Meryl went into labor right in the middle of the birthing room. A lot of people might have considered this convenient if it weren't for the fact that she needed to be moved from the machine crowded room into one where she would be able to be on her own.

After nearly twenty-four hours both exhausted women were able to be moved to a single room where they both fawned over their children.

"He looks just like you Meryl," Millie said as she smiled down at Vash's sleeping son. "But I'll bet you anything that he has Mr. Vash's eyes."

"I hope so Millie," Meryl said. "I've always loved his eyes. But what about you? Your little girl may have dark hair but she looks just like you. And I can already tell that your son will look just like his daddy."

Millie smiled. "Mm-hm! Nicholas would be so proud!"

"What are you going to name them?"

"Well, I was already thinking before that if it was a boy and a girl that I would name them Nicholas and Nichole."

Meryl blinked. "Really? Um, well, that's great Millie!"

"What about you?" Millie asked. "Are you going to name him after Mr. Vash?"

"No, actually I was thinking about naming him McKay after Vash's surrogate father."

Millie's brow crinkled in confusion. "I thought that his name was Joseph."

Meryl nodded. "It is, but his last name was McKay and I like that a lot better."

"Little Kay. Hm, you know what Meryl, it kind of suits him."

Meryl smiled. "Yeah. I think so too."
