The silence between the three in the waiting room was broken by a smiling Kendall. "You guys wanna meet him?"
"It's a boy?" Carlos was the first to jump up, evading James' arm to begin the fast trek down to Logan, the others following close behind.
"Yep, little Dameian." The proud smile on the blonde's face softened as he talked, mind on his newborn.
"That's the name I picked." Voice pitching in excitement, Carlos reached the closed door before being tugged back sharply by his belt.
"Carlos, he's just a baby, be gentle." James' own excitement threatened to spill out and overflow the hall, yet he remained in control, concerned with Carlos.
"Promise." Lowering his voice, the Latino stuck out his pinky. Grinning, James held his hand up, crossing pinkies briefly, as Kendall opened the door.
Inside, Logan face showed his joy clearly as he gazed from the bundled baby in Mama Knight's arms to the door.
"Hey." Only just having left, Kendall still greeted his lover, smile big enough to match the other boy's.
Logan returned the sediment as he scooted his legs to the side, offering Katie room to sit on the end of the bed. Peering gently over the side of her mother's arms, she strained for a look at her new nephew. "You can come in, Carlos."
Cautiously stepping into the room, Carlos allowed James to guide him over to the chair beside the bed. As Carlos situated himself, Mama Knight transferred baby Dameian to James' arms. "Lemme see."
Cooing gently to the child, James carefully passed him along to Carlos. Lips curling upwards, the smaller boy brushed back the short, dark hair off the baby's forehead, reveling in its soft texture.
"You guys wanna know his middle name?" James glanced back to the bed, where Kendall now also sat, arm around Logan's shoulders.
Voicing his agreement, Carlos broke James' trailing thoughts and returned them to the present.
"James." That was Logan.
"What?" Confusion covered James' face as he looked to the smiling parents.
"James." Kendall reiterated. "His middle name is James."
"Like…after…me?" Slowly but surely, he caught on.
Nodding, Logan accepted the baby from Carlos. "Yeah, we were hoping you guys would be his god….fathers." Grinning at the uniqueness of the situation, he glanced up to his surprised friends.
Done. Story is done.
If you don't like the baby's name, too bad. I like it.
