"Lightning?" Doc called out softly, walking back into the delivery room. Lightning was sitting slumped in a chair, looking a little depressed. He looked up, and gulped.
"You ok?" Doc asked.
Lightning shook his head. "I-I'm scared."
"Of what?" Doc asked, walking over to him.
"I don't know…" Lightning replied, lowering his gaze to the floor.
"Is it becoming a father, or is it not becoming a father?"
"Huh?" Lightning asked, confused.
Doc sighed. "Are you scared of becoming a dad… Or are you scared of them not being yours?"
Lightning sighed, shrugging his shoulders. "Both, I guess."
Doc smiled. "Do you want the news now, or do you want to wait for Sally to wake up?"
Lightning looked up wide-eyed. He quickly glanced at Sally, sound asleep. "Now."
"You sure?"
Lightning nodded anxiously.
"Let's just say, you don't have to worry about any adoption papers, or anything." Doc said, smiling.
Lightning smiled a little. "You mean…?"
"Yep. Congrats, you now have three other people with your DNA."
Lightning sighed with relief. That's it. Now he knew. Now he finally had a family. People that he was actually related to…
Lightning was just staring at the two kids, when Doc walked into the room, again. Lightning looked up, and the first thing he noticed, was a blue bundle in his hands.
"Do you want to see your new son?" Doc asked, smiling.
Lightning nodded, and took the little bundle into his arms. He couldn't help but smile, the little child was just too adorable. He opened his little eyes, and Lightning could see that they were a baby blue, just like his. Lightning smiled even bigger, looking up at Doc.
"Congrats, son." Doc said, smiling. "Look, I have to go get some paperwork done, so I'll talk to you later, ok?"
"Mmhmmm." Lightning replied, gazing at his new son.
"S-St-ickers?"
Lightning turned around, to see that Sally was finally awake.
"Hey." He said softly."
"Hey… Where's the other two?" She asked, noticing that the other two kids weren't in her arms anymore.
"Asleep." Lightning replied, gesturing to two cribs in the back of the room.
It was silent for a long while, Sally still half asleep.
"Guess who's kids they are." Lightning said finally.
"Yours?"
"Yup." Lightning replied smiling.
"Thank God." Sally said, sighing.
"I know…" Lightning said sighing. He smiled down at the little boy he was holding, then back up at Sally. "But, now that I think about it… It really doesn't matter if they're mine or not."
Sally smiled, gazing at the blue bundle in his arms. "Let me see my new son." She said, holding out her arms.
Lightning carefully placed the child in her outstretched arms, smiling softly at them. Sally looked down at him, smiling. "Aww, Stickers. He has your eyes…"
Lightning smiled even bigger, watching the baby giggle as Sally tickled him. Sally handed him back to Lightning, making sure to be extra gentle. Lightning held him, smiling tenderly as he watched the infant yawn and fall asleep in his arms.
He looked back up at Sally, to see that she was smiling lovingly at him. "What?" He asked quietly, not wanting to wake up the kids.
Sally just shook her head, still smiling. Lightning smiled back, standing up and taking the child to one of the cribs. He gently sat him down, smiling as he watched all three of his kids sleep.
"You know that we still have to name them." Sally said quietly.
"Yea, I know." Lightning replied, sitting back down beside her.
"Well… any ideas?"
Lightning thought for a moment. "Let's name one of the girls after you…"
Sally stared hard at him. "What, Sally?"
"No, I don't want it to get confusing. Let's name her Catherine, and maybe shorten it, or something." Lightning replied.
"Ok… Well, what about her middle name?"
"How about Elizabeth?" Lightning suggested.
Sally thought it over. "Ok, I like that… Catherine Elizabeth McQueen."
"And, let's name the other girl Chelsea." Lightning said thoughtfully.
"Ok." Sally replied. "That could be her middle name, and her first name could be… Jessica."
"Jessica?" Lightning repeated. "Ok, cool. Jessica Chelsea McQueen… Ok, one to go."
They sat in silence for a long while, trying to think of some names.
"Well, he's got to have a cool name…" Lightning said finally.
"Yea…" Sally replied.
"How about Josh, or Chris, or Tyler, or…" Lightning said, naming off any cool names he could think of.
"What about Dylan?" Sally suggested.
Lightning looked over at her, surprised. "But Dylan's my name."
"I know… You said a cool name."
Lightning laughed, smiling at her. "Ok, well, what about if we spell it differently? Like, d-i-l-l-a-n?"
"That'd work, but what about a middle name?."
"How about Jacob?" Lightning replied.
"I like it." Sally said, smiling. "Dillan Jacob McQueen."
