As Jo slept behind the curtain. Allison walked out of the lab to the small crowd. Fargo, Henry, Grant, and Zoe had joined Zane and Carter. Allison walked to the group, who all turned to her.
"How's Jo?" Carter asked.
"Jo's sleeping right now. And her daughter is doing very well." The group cheered. "She's a healthy five pounds two ounces."
"Can we see them?" Zoe asked.
"When Jo wakes up, I'll call you all." Allison informed.
Carter nodded. The entire group began to disperse. Everyone but Zane. He hung back after everyone had left. Allison noticed, but didn't pushed. Zane walked over to her.
"Is there something I can do for you, Zane?" Allison asked.
"Uh…I know you said that you'd let us know when Jo's awake but um…I uh…I was hoping that I could uh…see the baby." Zane asked.
Allison thought for a moment. Zane was the father after all; he had legal rights to see his daughter. However Allison didn't know if Jo would have approved, but then again, Jo was sleep at the moment.
"Sure." Allison said. She turned back to the infirmary doors.
They walked back into the infirmary. Jo was still sound asleep several feet from her daughter. Zane felt his heart stop as his eyes found the small baby in the acrylic bassinet. She was wrapped in a striped blanket with a pink hat covering her small head. Zane gave a small smile as he watched his tiny daughter yawn.
"Would you like to hold her?" Allison asked.
Zane opened his mouth to say 'no', but the words wouldn't come. Instead, he nodded.
Allison reached into the bassinet and gently lifted the baby. She carefully placed the baby into his arms. "Use the crook of your elbow to support her head."
Zane nodded. He held the baby in one arm while wrapped his other arm around her. His small smile grew as he looked at his daughter's tiny face. Her dark skin tone and tiny nose. "She looks like her mother."
"Yeah she does." Allison said. She watched Zane closely. "Maybe she'll have some of your traits too?"
Jo inhaled deeply as she woke up. She looked to her right and found baby Catalina fussing in her bassinet beside her. Jo smiled and sat up slowly. Strangely enough she was sore anymore.
"Hey there." Carter called.
Jo looked to him and smiled.
"How's mommy Lupo doing?" Carter asked.
"Good enough to kick your ass if you call me that again." Jo answered.
Carter chuckled. "Point taken."
"Hey Jo." Allison said. "How're you feeling?"
Jo nodded. "Good. Great actually."
"Good." Allison said. "Catalina's doing great. But I think she wants her mother."
Jo smiled.
Allison lifted Catalina from the basinet and passed her to Jo. Catalina instantly stopped crying. Her bright eyes looked up at Jo.
"Definitely knows who her mother is." Carter said.
"Yeah she does." Allison said. "I have the staff running some procedure testing on Catalina. I'll let you know the results tomorrow morning."
"So they're clear to go home?" Carter asked.
Allison nodded. "Yeah, both of them."
"Great." Carter said.
"Carter, are you sure you and Zoe are okay with this?" Jo asked.
"Are you kidding, we're fine with this." Carter answered. "Besides, Zoe and I kinda got you something." He lifted up a large bag.
"Carter." Jo started.
"Ah ah…look in it first." Carter said.
"You just want to hold her don't you?" Allison asked.
Carter turned to Allison and nodded. "Yeah kinda."
Jo and Allison both laughed.
"Okay Carter, you can hold her." Jo said. She carefully passed Catalina to Carter and turned to the bag. She opened the bag and pulled out a baby's one piece in camouflage. There was white writing across the front; BADASS. Jo started laughing. She looked back in the bag and pulled out a camouflage skirt and laughed some more.
"And there's one more." Carter said.
Allison knelt to the ground and pulled up a black car seat. On the back were the words; S.W.A.T. BABY written on it.
Jo laughed again. "Carter what is wrong with you?"
Allison chuckled. "Well, let's get Miss Catalina loaded up and have Jo change so you guys can go home."
"Ya here that little lady, you're going home." Carter said.
Jo burst into laughter again.
