Chapter 25. These Are The Moments
"Becker, wake up," Jess shook him roughly, his eyes coming open instantly.
He met her eyes and she nodded, he was up in an instant pulling on clothes and grabbing her bag from the closet, before helping her to the car. He grabbed his cell phone and called for the doctor to meet them at the hospital.
This was it, he was about to be a father. He took Jess' hand as he sped through the city to the hospital, thankful it was two in the morning and traffic was almost nonexistent. They got into the hospital to find Jess' doctor in the waiting room.
"How far apart are the contractions?" he asked as soon as he reached them.
"About four minutes," Becker answered.
They got her into labor and delivery and Becker started making phone calls and letting everyone know.
Becker squeezed Jess' hand, who was breathing heavily, then they heard it, crying.
"Congratulations, you have a healthy baby girl!" the doctor said.
Jess looked over at Becker and he smiled, before kissing her forehead.
"A daughter," she said smiling, "We have a daughter."
While the doctors took the baby to clean her up, Becker went out to the waiting room where the team and Anna were waiting.
"It's a girl!" he said, grinning.
Everyone rushed over, shaking his hand and hugging him, as he explained they'd be able to see Jess and the baby soon.
He got back to the hospital room and soon they were bringing the baby in and giving her to Jess to hold.
"Have you decided on a name?" the nurse asked.
"Samantha Addison Becker," she said, eyes not leaving the baby's face.
Becker watched in amazement, the baby had Jess' blue eyes and it looked like his mouth. He smiled remembering Jess' words a few months ago.
I've decided something, I want the baby to have your smile, your smile is absolutely contagious and has the tendency to make me forget everything.
"It looks like you're going to get your wish," he said softly.
"She's got your mouth," Jess grinned, "Guys are doomed when she's older."
Becker laughed, "Especially, if she looks like her momma, I'm going to have to keep a rifle at the house," he joked.
Jess laughed, "Do you want to hold her?"
Becker's eyes filled with fear, holding a baby was a new one for him. Jess showed him how to hold his arms and gently lay Samantha in them, grinning.
"See, you're doing brilliant," she said, as he sat down on the edge of Jess' hospital bed.
"Hello Samantha," he said kissing her forehead, "I'm your daddy."
Jess
Jess couldn't remember a moment where she'd been more in love with Becker, than that one, sitting there watching him hold their daughter. She smiled softly, unable to take her eyes from them.
A flash by the room's door made her look up though, and she found Anna, standing there smiling, holding her camera.
"Sorry, couldn't resist." she apologized.
"I look awful!" Jess half whined, eight hours of labor tended to do that.
Becker's lips caught hers briefly, "Don't be ridiculous, you're beautiful."
Jess blushed, "Are you quite done with the pictures?" Jess asked, having caught sight of the flash again when Becker kissed her.
"You'll appreciate them later, Jess," she grinned, tucking the camera away and coming over to hug her, "She's beautiful, Jess."
"Just like her mother," Becker agreed, causing Jess to blush deeper.
"Can I hold her?" Anna asked.
"Of course, you can, she needs to meet her Aunt," Becker said before passing her over to Anna.
"Get her camera," Jess whispered.
Becker retrieved the camera and took a picture of Anna smiling down at the baby, before returning the camera and sitting on the bed, pulling Jess against him.
"I love you, Jessica."
"And these are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive. And these are the moments, I'll remember all my life. I've found all I've waited for, and I could not ask for more."
