Author's Notes: It's been ages since I've updated! Apologies for that. Moving took a lot out of me, and work has been pretty demanding the past month. Trying to squeeze in some writing time has been a miracle. Lately, the only reason I'm home is to sleep and nothing else.

Nonetheless, here is the latest chapter of this story. I'm so exciting about this chapter, because we're finally getting there. I've writing this in honor of my best friend, who also has just recently given birth and named her son Simon. He's the cutest! We all can't stop gushing, and she's practically glowing. The joys of motherhood is amazing.

I had a grand time writing this, with all the babies in mind and with so many friends surprisingly giving birth the past weeks. I'm extremely excited for both Tina and Mike as they will welcome their little one into the world.

Hopefully, you guys will enjoy this story just as much as I enjoyed writing it. I hope I can come up with a few more updates. This story will have a couple more chapters, maybe two or three, depending how things are going. I'm happy to report that a new story is already in the works, and I'm itching to put it up.

Thank you for your continued readership. You guys are simply awesome!

In Tina's opinion, the nursery looked beautiful. Walking into the light blue room, it left her in awe as she took in everything in the room. The light draperies by the window where whimsical and lovely, all courtesy of Kurt and his impeccable taste. The furniture, from the dresser to the changing table, to the night stands, to the cabinets were all tasteful and child friendly. Toys already lined the wall, adding color to the sea of blue and white.

She had to hand it to Kurt, he definitely knew his way around in decorating a room. Had he not gone into show businesses, he might as well made it big as an interior designer, mused Tina as she surveyed the decorated room.

They had finished decorating last week, with her finally closing in on her due date. Tina was already 38 weeks pregnant, and the little boy may make his grand entrance any given time. The thought of finally giving birth left Tina excited and scared at the same time.

Looking into the crib, which already had toys lined against the grills, and linens neatly tucked into the edges, Tina ran her hand over the faded grey blanket neatly folded on top of the mattress. It was Mike's old baby blanket. She smiled softly at the idea of handing down something of Mike's to their son.

Their son.

Tina couldn't believe this was all happening. She was having Mike's baby in a few days, she'd marry the man she loved, and she'd finally start her own little family. And who would have thought this would all happen to the Goth girl from High School? Looking back, she could never really imagine that this would happen to her.

Sighing softly in contentment, Tina touched her very pregnant belly and looked down at it lovingly. "Come out now," she whispered softly, coaxing the little boy. "I can't wait to finally meet you,"

And while the wait was building up quite an excitement, Tina personally could not wait to have the baby out. The weight was killing her – her back hurt, her feet hurt, and with the baby constantly on the move her belly hurt as well. Though, with the baby along the way, all the pain was definitely worth it.

"Hey," Mike's head popped into the nursery and he smiled at his pregnant girlfriend. "I've been looking for you,"

"Sorry," Tina smiled apologetically and pulled herself away from the crib. She walked (waddled) up to Mike and allowed him to draw his arms around her shoulders. "I had to walk around. It helps with the pregnancy,"

Mike made an absent noise and allowed his hand to run over her belly, feeling its firmness under his palm and trying to catch any faint movements of his son. He smiled at her and squeezed her shoulders. "I was wondering if you wanted to eat a little," he said while they were walking into the living room. "I went out and bought us some snacks,"

Tina laughed and kissed his cheek, after seeing some cookies and a tub of ice cream spread out on the coffee table. "I love you," she said brightly, grinning when he chuckled in amusement.

They made their way towards the sofa, and Mike helped Tina ease herself into a comfortable sitting position. Switching on the television, they tuned into an afternoon soap, and settled in comfortably against each other. Nestled against each other, they ate and talked throughout the soap, laughing at the innuendoes and odd scene stealers.

"Mike, quick!" announced Tina suddenly, grinning brightly and grabbing Mike's free and placing it firmly against the side of her stomach. Her eyes danced in amusement when his eyes widened in astonishment and stared intently at her stomach.

"That must've been a roundhouse kick!" Mike announced loudly and rubbed her belly, hoping to catch any more strong movements of his son. "We might sign him up for karate lessons, too,"

Tina laughed and shook her head, nudging him playfully. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves,"

Mike grinned in excitement. "Who knows," he began. "Maybe he'll be a famous dancing singing karate master someday,"

"Let's just get to the part of where I give birth, and we'll take it from there, shall we?" Tina grinned in amusement and laughed when Mike pouted at her. Leaning up, she kissed him softly on the lips and smiled. "It'll be soon,"

"I can't wait," confessed Mike, smiling brightly and leaning over her pregnant belly. He kissed it dotingly and placed his head against her belly. He smiled contently when her hands idly played with his hair.

"Me too," offered Tina and leaning back into the sofa. She smiled down at Mike. "You'll be a great dad,"

Mike sat up and looked at her, suddenly anxiety shining in his eyes. "You think?" he asked softly. "I—I don't know what to do,"

Tina smiled softly. "With the way you are with the younger kids at your school, you'll do even better with your own son," she said confidently. She offered him a soft smile and brushed some hair out of his eyes.

He sighed softly and gathered Tina in his arms. "You'll be a great mother, Tee," he mumbled into her hair and allowed his hands to travel over her belly. "I can't wait to see you with our son,"

Tina's hands covered his own on top of her belly. "I'm scared," she whispered softly and looked into the distance. Her voice sounded tiny and fearful. "I don't know what to expect. What if I'll be a horrible mom? Will we manage?"

Mike hummed softly and hugged her to his chest. "We'll be good, Tee," he whispered soothingly. "It's okay to be scared. I am too. But we're in this together, and we're having a son. That's what matters. We'll learn. I love you, Tee. You have no idea how happy I am to go through this with you,"

Again there was Mike and his nice way with words. Her eyes watered and she hugged him as much as her state could. She looked up at him with shining eyes and she smiled softly. "I love you, Mike," she whispered and smiled. "And this is the best thing that has ever happened to me,"

Mike chuckled and hugged her. "This is the best thing," he confirmed. Releasing her, he looked down at her and watched her for a moment. "You know," he began thoughtfully with an amused smile playing on his lips. "We still haven't decided on a name."

Tina frowned in realization. "Yeah," she mumbled. Her eyebrows furrowed and she looked at him intently. "We're not naming him after a football player or Johnny Walker,"

Mike laughed. "I'm not Puck,"

She grinned and shifted in her seat. "Just making sure,"

"Though maybe we did get a little drunk when we made him," He offered her a wide smile. "Would you like to pay homage?"

"To vodka?" Tina raised an amused eyebrow. "Sure. Then we can maybe pay for the psychiatrist bills our son will have to see after we name him Vodka,"

Mike laughed and kissed her softly on the lips. "Good times though," he offered her a wolfish grin and hugged her lightly. "Good times,"

Tina giggled and nudged him gently. "Just wait a little longer," she grinned at him. "We'll be back on track in a couple of months,"

Mike's chest rumbled in a low laugh and he kissed her temple. "It's worth the wait," he said into her hair. Laughing softly, they both quietly resumed their discussion of baby names which eventually lead well into the evening.

A week after their intensive baby name discussion, which ended up in indefinitely naming the baby 'Baby Chang Junior,' much to Tina's horror, Tina found herself unable to sleep properly with a round of back pains keeping her up all night. This of course came much to Mike's concern, who insisted that she'd just take the day off and rest.

"I'm fine," mumbled Tina as she slipped into a stylish maternity dress. While the maternity clothes were comfortable, she could not wait to get back into her old clothes. She offered Mike a reassuring smile. "I'll call you if anything comes up. I'm sure this is nothing,"

Mike examined her thoughtfully. "Just call me, okay?"

Tina smiled softly and kissed him on the cheek. "I will,"

The back pains didn't seem to disappear as the morning dragged on. Plus, she already felt the beginnings of contractions coming along. With a hint of anxiety, Tina tried to silently monitor the contractions. Was today really the day? A sudden wave of cold fear washed over her.

"Are you alright?" Emily hovered over Tina's table, staring at the pregnant woman intently. She watched her as Tina winced and held her stomach firmly. "Are you…?"

Tina swallowed and looked at her assistant in worry. "I think," she answered. Pulling out her phone, she quickly pressed one and got Mike on speed dial. She didn't even have to wait for the second ring. "Mike?"

"Are you okay?"

"I don't know," Tina said, her voice slightly rising in panic and worry. "I shouldn't be due for another week, right?"

"I'm coming over. The hospital bag is already in the car. Stay right there, babe,"

Tina frowned. "Where else would I go? Central Park?" she snapped and then winced when another contraction came along. "Sorry. Just come, please?"

"I'm already out the door. I'll see you in five. Love you,"

Tina winced again and looked at her watch. The contractions were growing closer. Was she going into labor already? Calling Dr. Travis, she quickly explained her situation and was advised to come by the hospital immediately. So much for another week.

"Do you need anything?" asked her assistant.

Tina stood up slowly and clutched her stomach. She winced slightly and rubbed her belly. "I just need Mike," she mumbled. The pain wasn't mind numbing, but she definitely felt it. Rubbing her stomach, she looked at it thoughtfully. "Are you really coming out today, baby?"

Just then, Mike barreled into the office out of breath and sprinting towards Tina's desk. He grabbed her arm and held her close. "Are you in labor? Is everything okay? Is the baby coming? Should I call an ambulance?"

Tina laughed and held his arm in support. "Just contractions. Let's just go to the hospital and take it from there, okay?" she offered gently and smiled softly.

"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Mike as they slowly made their way out of the office and into Mike's car.

"I'll be fine," Tina stressed and frowned at him. "Just get me to the hospital, okay?"

Mike nodded and he helped her into the car before sliding in himself. He offered her a shaky smile and briefly touched her stomach. "Today we might actually hold our baby for the first time,"

Tina frowned. "Not unless you bring me to the hospital, so drive!"

The drive to the hospital was an intense one, with Tina clutching her stomach and monitoring her contractions and Mike driving like a mad man through New York's traffic. When they made it to the hospital's parking lot and they started rushing towards the hospital, Tina stopped and winced.

"Shit," she whispered and her fingers curled into Mike's forearm.

"What? What?" Mike held her, panic slowly settling in and he stared at her with wide eyes.

"Water just broke," Tina whispered softly and a painful wave of contractions settled in. she winced and blinked back tears. "Let's hurry,"

The moment they made into the hospital, with Tina clutching her stomach and Mike wildly gesturing to his pregnant fiancée ("I'm pregnant, I mean we're – she's pregnant!" he exclaimed to the attending nurse), the staff nursing immediately offered her a wheelchair and quickly signed Tina in. It didn't take long before Tina found herself in her birthing room, dressed in a hospital gown and legs spread apart.

"You're 8 cm dilated. Just a little longer, and we can start pushing," offered Dr. Travis some time later, smiling gently at the in pain woman.

"It hurts," whined Tina softly. She blinked back tears, and looked up at Mike, who was frantically on his phone with his mother.

"It'll hurt just a little bit more once we start pushing," advised her doctor while checking her vitals. "But don't worry, once we get your baby out, it'll all be worth it,"

Tina whimpered softly and clutched her stomach as another round of contractions hit her. She felt Mike's hand curl into her own, and she felt slightly relieved. "It hurts,"

"Kurt and Rachel are on their way. They're getting in touch with everybody else. Our parents are flying in tomorrow," informed Mike and crouched down so that he was in level with Tina. He offered her an encouraging smile and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "You can do this, Tee," he whispered softly and kissed her temple. Tightening the hold on her hand, he smiled. "We're going to be parents soon,"

With the equipment all set up, and nurses and her doctor all suited up in scrubs, Dr. Travis smiled gently at the pair and patted Tina's arm softly. "We'll start pushing pretty soon, is that okay?"

Tina winced and let out a soft whimper as fear started to set in. She whimpered softly in pain and closed her eyes. The nurses settled her into a more comfortable birthing position, slightly sitting her up and spreading her legs. "You can do this, Tee. I love you," Mike squeezed her hand as she winced. "I'm here for you,"

"Mike," Tina whimpered softly and stared at him with frantic eyes. She closed them tightly and hissed as a painful contraction hit her.

"Okay, now," announced Dr. Travis. "How about we start pushing? Just take a deep breath, and when I tell you to push, you give me one big push, okay Tina?"

Tina nodded numbly as beads of sweat rolled down her forehead and a wave of pain hit her. Fear and excitement filled her body, and she stared at Mike. Offering him a shaky smile after he smiled in reassurance, she took a deep breath and pushed when her doctor told her to do so.

She whimpered as an excruciating wave of pain hit her as she pushed forward. She closed her eyes and clutched Mike's hand tightly, whimpering loudly and breathing unsteadily as her lower regions throbbed and everything just started to hurt. She faintly heard the words of encouragement from the nurses and felt the soothing backrub. Slumping back, she moaned in pain and blinked back tears.

"Your doing good, Tina," her doctor encouraged. "We're there. Give me another push,"

"You're doing great, babe," whispered Mike breathlessly. He held Tina's hand tightly and squeezed it in encouragement as an excited rush filled his system. "Push, Tee,"

Tina whimpered and breathed deeply, looking up at Mike with wide eyes. "Easy for you to say," she muttered and squeezed his hand. When she heard her doctor urge her to push, she did so again, with a great deal of effort and pain. She whimpered loudly and closed her eyes as she felt the contractions and the movement in her lower regions. She breathed deeply and felt her body throb in pain and protest.

"Just one more big push," urged her doctor.

"I see him!" whispered Mike breathlessly and he stared in awe. "C'mon, Tee,"

Encouraged, Tina whimpered loudly and closed her eyes, pushing with all her might and breathing deeply. She gasped and whimpered when she felt a excruciating pain in her lower regions, and she slumped backwards, breathing heavily and shivering at the odd sensation of feeling her baby leave her body.

Yet the pain seemed to suddenly subside as the shrill sounds of a baby crying pierced through the air and Tina stared with wide eyes as her son was cradled by the doctor. She felt her heart soar and tears slowly streamed down her cheeks as she wanted nothing more than to hold her son for the first time.

"He's beautiful, Tee," whispered Mike in astonishment, as the doctor and nurses quickly tended to the wailing infant. They cut the chord and cleaned him up, checking his vitals, before quickly bringing him back to the both of them.

"Mike," whispered Tina breathlessly, looking up at him with shining eyes and smiling brightly. She squeezed his hand.

"You did great," mumbled Mike, smiling down at her softly. He leaned over her, pressing a soft kiss on her forehead, before quickly looking up as the nurse brought them a blue bundle.

"Congratulations," offered the nurse, smiling softly at the breathless mother. Very gently, she placed the bundle in Tina's waiting arms, and adjusted the blankets around the baby.

Tina gasped softly, looking down at the small baby in her arms. She smiled and her eyes glittered in happiness as she felt the light weight of her son for the very first time in her arms. They had placed a small cap on his head to keep him warm, and he was wrapped in a soft blanket. He had stopped crying by this time, and moved slightly in his confines. "Hi," Tina whispered softly, cradling her son and holding him close to her chest.

"God, Tee," whispered Mike, leaning over Tina and his son – his son. He finally was a father. He choked up and swallowed the lump in his throat, as tears formed in his eyes while staring down at the two. Nothing was more beautiful than this very moment right now. Whipping out his phone, he quickly took a picture before stowing it away again.

"Oh, Mike," Tina looked up at him, she smiled brightly at him. She was practically glowing. "He's so beautiful,"

"You two are beautiful," corrected Mike, leaning over and kissing her temple lovingly. Reaching out, he brushed his finger across the baby's cheek and smiled in delight at the sheer softness of it. "He's great,"

"He looks just like you," whispered Tina, staring at the baby intently and watching him in awe. He had Mike's nose and shape of the eyes, and probably chin too. She felt her heart swell and she wanted nothing more than to hold her son forever.

"I love you, Tee," said Mike, grinning brightly and kissing Tina's temple. "I love both of you,"

"I love you too," Tina smiled up at him. "We have a son,"

Mike beamed in pride and looked down at the two of them. "We have a son," he affirmed.

After a few more minutes of simply staring at their son, the nurse took him from them and told them they would bring their son back in after they'd run a few more tests and set him up in the nursery. The rest of the medical staff tended to Tina and cleaned her up. Mike excused himself and exited the room quickly, to meet up with Kurt and Rachel who had arrived an hour ago.

"It's a boy!" Mike announced happily, beaming brightly at his friends.

"We knew that already!" Kurt laughed and hugged the new father. "Congratulations, Mike,"

"I am most excited to finally meet you son. I cannot wait to assess his vocal strength by his cries. If the baby cries loud enough, it may definitely have a good set of lungs – excellent for singing," Rachel beamed brightly and caught Mike in a fierce hug.

Mike laughed and returned the petite girl's hug. "Thank you, Rachel,"

"Congratulations, dad," Rachel's eyes danced merrily and she briefly looked over his shoulder. "How is Tina?"

Mike grinned. "A bit emotional, but she's great. She was great the whole time!" he beamed with pride. "They're just cleaning her up right now,"

Kurt looked at him curiously. "And your son?"

"At the nursery," said Mike.

After a few more minutes of excited chitchat, a breathless Finn joined them, and the four quickly made it towards the nursery where Mike's newborn son would be "on display," as Finn had kindly put it. Tightly tucked into a warm blanket and little wool cap placed on his head, the little pink bundle was sound asleep with the rest of the babies.

"He's adorable!" gushed Rachel, pressing herself closer to the glass windows and staring with wide eyes at the sleeping baby. Her smile widened when they watched the baby twitch lightly before falling back to sleep again. "He looks just like you,"

Mike stared mesmerized at the little boy, taking in his sleeping form and feeling his heart swell with pride. He finally was a father – he couldn't believe it! Smiling softly at the beautiful sight of his child, he sighed in contentment. "He's great,"

"Dude, congratulations," said Finn, grinning widely and bumping fists with Mike. "You're a dad,"

Mike offered him a lopsided grin. "I guess I am,"

After another minute or so of just staring at the sleeping baby, the four of them made their way back to the rooms and found a tired Tina being tended by one of the nurses. "We'll be back in a while with your son, and then we can start trying to breastfeed," offered the nurse softly, before quickly slipping out of the room.

"Congratulations, mommy!" Kurt beamed and bounded towards Tina's bed, hugging the small woman quickly and kissing her cheek. "We saw your little boy, and I must say that he looks exceptionally handsome!"

"Thanks," Tina smiled tiredly at Kurt, while hugging Rachel and Finn quickly before settling back down on her bed comfortably. "Thanks for coming guys,"

"And miss this? Never!" Finn grinned and settled himself in one of the plastic chairs that were too small for his tall built.

"Isn't this exciting?" began Rachel, practically bouncing off the walls with excitement as her grin widened and she smiled brightly at the new parents. "Finally giving birth and being with your son for the very first time. After all those months of waiting, you finally gave birth! And now you have a son, who'll be a talented dancer and singer – not as talented as me, but talented still. Oh, this will be great!"

"Slow down, Rach," Tina winced and settled herself against the pillows. She smiled gratefully at Mike as he helped her sit up and then settled himself right next to her, placing her securely in his arms. "Thanks,"

"How are you feeling?" Mike asked her, while idly stroking her shoulder in comfort.

"Tired," Tina offered as an answer before wincing slightly as she moved to get more comfortable. It still felt kind of weird to be without all the extra weight and her lower regions still hurt pretty badly. Though sleepy, she refused to get any sleep until she would see her son again. She felt anxious.

Mike's phone started ringing, briefly halting the conversation. Checking his phone, he smiled softly when he saw Tina's mother on caller id. "Hi!" he beamed into the phone, sharing a small smile with Tina.

"Honey, he's beautiful!" Tina's mother gushed into the phone loudly, her voice sounding heavy with tears. "Congratulations, Mike,"

Mike laughed and squeezed Tina's shoulder. "Thanks, we're really happy. All went really well," he said. "Tina's pretty tired, but I'm sure she'd love to speak to you guys,"

"Congratulations, son. I'm really proud of you," Tina's father said over the phone. Mike grinned, thanking her father, before handing her his phone.

"Mom, dad?" Tina smiled softly, settling comfortably into Mike's embrace and listening to her parents gush over the phone and shower praises over their newborn grandson.

"Mike sent us a picture of him at the nursery. He's absolutely adorable. We can't wait to see all three of you," her mother babbled excitedly over the phone.

"We'll be there in a few days, honey," said Tina's father.

"Thanks, guys. That's really great of you," Tina smiled warmly. "You guys are grandparents already," she laughed, her eyes dancing in amusement.

After a quick round of chats, Tina and Mike quickly bade goodbye to the new grandparents just as a nurse came into the room pushing a small baby cart with a blue bundle securely in the middle. Rachel and Kurt immediately gushed at the sight, with Finn staring at the blue bundle in amazement.

"Cohen-Chang?" asked the nurse.

"Chang," Tina smiled lightly, sharing small grin with Mike as he helped her sit up a little better.

Nodding in understanding, the blonde nurse smiled softly and settled the cart right next to Tina and Mike. "Here's your son. Everything checked out perfectly for him. He's one healthy little man," the nurse beamed softly at the couple.

"Mercedes is so missing out!" exclaimed Kurt, ogling the baby with wide eyes and taking endless pictures with his camera. With a quick press of a button, he quickly sent a baby picture to all of their friends.

Itching to touch her son, Tina eagerly stared at the sleeping bundle. She couldn't believe how something as beautiful as her son could come out of her. It felt strange. The nurse quickly went into a brief spiel of how to take care of a baby, what they were supposed to do right now, and all other baby care tips. Beside her, Mike listened eagerly, right on the verge of taking notes and recording the whole conversation.

"You just have to support his head a little, since he can't hold it up on his own right now," offered the nurse finally. Swopping down, she scooped up the baby, which finally began to stir a little, and cradled him in her arms. "Here,"

Tina sucked in her breath as she felt the light weight being transferred into her waiting arms. Her heart started beating really fast in a mix of anxiety and happiness she relished the feeling of her son in her arms. She felt him stir in her arms, trying to free himself from the confines of his blanket. Tina smiled brightly, and felt herself tear up again. They had a son (she should really get used to the concept).

"Mike," she whispered, briefly tearing her eyes away from the pink baby and staring with wide eyes at her boyfriend. She leaned into his embrace, relishing the warmth that he had to offer and smiled when she watched him stare at the baby intently.

"You did amazing, Tee," he mumbled finally, leaning into her and kissing her temple tenderly. His smile grew when he watched his son make faint noises and finally open his dark eyes. "Hey there, little man,"

The baby whimpered softly, blinking up at them and twisting slightly in his confines as Tina lightly began to rock him in her arms. Reaching out, Mike briefly touched his son's cheek and tried to adjust the little blue cap on his head.

"This is so cute!" announced Rachel, grinning brightly and taking a picture of the new family. She beamed at her handiwork, and quickly promised the couple that she'd print the picture and frame it for them (no matter how horrible Tina's hair looked at that very moment).

The nurse smiled, nodding in agreement. Placing baby items onto the counter next to Tina's bed, she gently offered a few other reminders to the engrossed parents. "Also, we'll have to settle for a name pretty soon so that we can process his birth documents,"

"Simon," offered Mike, smiling gently at Tina and squeezing her shoulder. "After Tina's grandfather,"

"Simon James Chang, after both of our grandfathers" finished Tina, beaming brightly down at her son. Looking up at Mike, her eyes shone with unshed tears. "Thank you," she whispered and softly kissed his lips. "This is the best gift that you've given me,"

Mike smiled and hugged both his soon to be wife and his son. "And you two are the best gifts in the world to me,"

Tina smiled and nodded, kissing him briefly once more before looking down at the awake baby. She beamed and rocked him softly. "Hello, little Si," She giggled when Simon gurgled and whined softly, his little face drawing into what appeared to be a smile. "I guess we've finally got a name,"

Mike beamed in pride. "We've finally got our own family,"
