Spirit looked down at the baby in Azusa's arms, thoughts of Maka rushing through his head as he watched the small thing sleep.

"James." Azusa said suddenly. "James Frank Albarn."

"Frank?" Spirit said looking up to look into his wife's face.

"Yes, Frank. It's cuter than Franken and not as obvious."

"You want to name our child after Stein." The disbelief was evident in his face and he looked around the hospital room as if he expected to see a witch casting a spell on Azusa.

"Look at it this way, Spirit. If not for Stein and Marie we would have probably never went through all of that, fell in love, and had James. Why not make James' middle name Frank?" She smiled down at the black haired baby.

"If that's what you want, Azusa, its fine." He reluctantly agreed.

Frank it was.

"You named him what?" Marie asked, having nearly shot tea out of her nose laughing.

"James Frank Albarn." Azusa repeated smiling.

"Have you told Franken yet?" Marie asked laughing.

"I think Spirit's planning on telling him."

"That's very sweet, Azusa!"

Stein didn't see it the same way. "Why would you do something like that, Spirit?"

"Azusa wanted it. Besides, she made some good points."

"Really, and those were?"

"Um…" Spirit rubbed the back of his head. "I really can't remember them now, but I know at the time that they were good ones."

Stein just laughed.

That night Spirit and Azusa laid asleep, their 2 week old infant asleep in his crib at the foot of their bed, when the phone suddenly rang. The noise didn't wake Azusa or James, and Spirit answered groggily.

"Spirit." Stein's voice.

'Damn that man.' Spirit thought. "It's 3am, Stein. What do you want?"

"Thank you."

Spirit lay back on the bed, shaking his head. 'Stein's impossible to understand.' Azusa stirred in her slumber and James let out a cry before waking up and wailing. Both Azusa and Spirit were immediately awake. Spirit just patted the bed beside him for Azusa to lie back down and went over to get James. Lying on his back, slightly propped up, he let James lay on his chest. Spirit quietly sang:

"Some days the winds come blowing hard,

And the rain comes right along.

Some days the heart sinks down low,

And there is nothing you can do.

But, dear one, remember this;

We all have felt the sun's sweet kiss.

And when the darkness overwhelms

The sun will break through the clouds."

Before he knew it both Azusa and James had drifted back to sleep. Chucking, Spirit stood and slipped James back into his crib, looking down at his sleeping wife and son, feeling happier than he had in a very long time.

"I love you." He whispered to the darkness, speaking to them both.

A/N: Short I know. Sorry about that, I'll try to get a longer one shot out for tomorrow's chapter. Love you all! And I'll try to stay away from Stein and Marie too... LOVE writing them though :)
