"Hey mom, how is she?" Roger asked rushing into the hospital waiting room.
"Fine, she's dilated 10 and they're about to take her into the delivery room." she said crying happily as she hugged him.
"Can we see her before she goes in?" he asked as Charlie stood by his side.
"Yeah, Danny just went back in." she said smiling at Charlie.
"Mom, I want you to meet Charlie Spade. Charlie this is my mom." he said putting his arm around Charlie.
"It's very nice to meet you Mrs. Davis. This is so exciting." she said smiling at her.
"It is so nice to finally meet you Charlie." she said happily hugging her.
"Here she comes." Roger said spotting his sister. "Hey sis, you look like shit." he told her jokingly.
"Gee thanks big brother. This must be Charlie. Hi." she said smiling at them obviously tired.
"Hi Tori. It's nice to meet you." Charlie said smiling back at her.
"We have to get you into the delivery room now Mrs. Campanella." the nurse told her holding the bed.
"I keep telling you, call me Tori. Everyone on this floor is looking at my goodies, I thing we've passed the formal stage." she said laughing as Roger gave her a look.
"That is really gross, Tore." he told her as Charlie buried her face in his chest to hide the fact that she was laughing.
"Yeah well, I can't afford to be modest now." she said looking up at him.
"Good luck sweetie. I love you." Mrs. Davis said leaning down to give her a kiss before they started wheeling her away.
"Yeah good luck Tori." Charlie said as Roger held her close.
"Thanks." she said breathing with another contraction.
"So you're gonna be an uncle soon." Charlie said as he leaned down to kiss her head.
"Yeah, but I don't know who's more excited, you or me?" he said laughing.
"Well it's an exciting time." she said as they sat in the waiting room to wait.
"So Charlie, how is it you've been dating my son for almost a year and he's just bringing you up to meet us?" Mrs. Davis asked as Roger held her in his arms.
"Mom, Tori's in there giving you a grandchild. Do you have to badger my girlfriend?" he asked as Charlie laughed.
"It's OK Roger. We've both been really busy with work, especially me. But I thought this was worth taking a couple of days off for." she told her smiling.
"You're here for a couple of days. That's great. We can get to know each other and I can have my son home for a little while." she said excitedly.
"Yeah, isn't it great?" he asked smiling down at Charlie as Danny came out.
"It's a boy. Hunter Daniel Campanella." he said excitedly as everyone jumped up.
"That's great. Congratulations dad." Roger said hugging him as tears came to Charlie's eyes.
"Congratulations Danny." she said as Roger put his arm around her.
"She wants everybody to meet the baby but only two people can go in at a time." he told them wiping his own eyes.
"Mom, why don't you go in with Danny and me and Charlie'll go in next." Roger said smiling down at Charlie.
"OK. I'll be out in a minute." Mrs. Davis said crying tears of joy.
"OK Mom." he said smiling as his mother and brother in law went inside to see Tori. "Are you OK Baby?" he asked as Charlie looked up at him crying.
"Yeah, it's just been a long time since I've been in a hospital." she said as he brought her into his arms.
"I know Baby." he told her comforting her.
"You know, she's almost 13 now?" she asked looking up at him as she wiped her eyes.
"I know Baby." he told her kissing her head as his mother came out of the delivery room.
"Is everything OK out here?" she asked wiping her eyes.
"Yeah mom. Everything's fine. We're gonna go in and see Tori and Hunter now." Roger told her head again. "Are you OK Baby?" he asked looking down at her.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you. I love you, you know?" she asked smiling up at him.
"I know. I love you too Baby." he told her as they went into the delivery room. "Hey sis." he said smiling at Tori.
"Hey big brother. I would like you to meet your nephew, Hunter Daniel Campanella. This is your cool Uncle Roger and your Aunt Charlie." she told the baby handing him to Roger to hold.
"Are you serious?" Charlie asked smiling at her.
"Yeah, I mean you've been with my brother for almost a year and I know he loves you. I want you to be my sons aunt." she told her as tears came to Charlie's eyes again.
"Thank you Tori. It means a lot to me." she told her leaning down to hug her.
"It means a lot to me too. It's nice to see my brother this happy. And you don't think he's cute all the time." Tori said laughing a little.
"Yeah well, someone's gotta put him in his place sometimes." Charlie told her as Roger smiled down at her.
"Look at them, see? All they do is pick on me." he told the baby. "Baby, do you wanna hold your nephew?" he asked smiling at her.
"I would love to." she answered as he handed her the baby. "Hi Hunter. It is so nice to meet you." she said smiling down at the baby. "He's beautiful Tori." she said smiling at her.
"Yes he is." she said as the nurse came in.
"We need to take the baby to the nursery and you need to get some rest." she said smiling at them.
"We're gonna go. We're gonna be here for a couple of days at least, so we'll come back later to visit you guys, OK?" Charlie said handing the baby back to Tori.
"Great. I'm really glad you guys came. I'm so happy to finally have the chance to meet you, Charlie. It took my brother long enough." she said looking up at Roger.
"You're as bad as mom. We've been busy with work. But we're here now, so stop your complaining." he told her laughing.
"Yeah, your uncle likes to procrastinate." she told the baby as Roger put his arms around Charlie again.
"Anyway, don't you need to rest or something?" he asked laughing as Charlie held him tight.
"I'll see you guys later. I'm so glad you're here." she said before the nurses began wheeling her out.
"So are we. Bye Tore. We love you." Roger said smiling down at Charlie.
"Come on. Let's get back to your moms house. I wanna take a nap before we come back later." she told him as he turned to her.
"Are you OK Baby?" he asked caressing her face.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It just hits me sometimes that I haven't thought about her in a while. I'll be OK. Thank you." she said burying her face in his chest as he kissed her head.
"Don't mention it. I love you Charlie." he told her holding her tight.
"I love you too Roger." she said before they left the room to go back to the house.
