Chapter Twenty-Nine
The operation was swift, and Miranda was quickly given fresh blood injections. Her stomach healed perfectly, looking like it had before. "My baby?" She whispered, as Jonathan injected a second blood filled syringe.
Mick appeared at her other side, holding a little sky blue bundle. "It's a boy," he whispered, looking at her.
She held out her arms, and Mick rested the tiny little bundle against him mother.
"I'm going to get some formula for him," Jonathan said, with a smile. "And check for Josef."
"He's beautiful," Miranda whispered, looking down at her baby. Mick slid onto the bed next to her. "Like his daddy."
"I think, he takes after his mother," Mick kissed the top of her head.
They sat together in silence, suddenly hearing movement coming nearer. Josef appeared first, followed by Zoe, Aubrey and Jonathan. They all smiled, but Jonathan was the first to speak. "I mixed a special formula for him."
"Him?" Aubrey and Josef said together.
"A brother?" Zoe squealed.
Mick nodded, holding out his arms for her. She ran to him, and he pulled her up, tucking her in between his body and Miranda's.
"Can I hold him?" Zoe asked, in an awed whisper.
Mick held put her in the right position and Miranda tucked the baby into Zoe's arms. "Support his head."
"Do you want to feed him?" Jonathan asked, holding out a bottle.
Zoe's grin got really wide as she nodded gleefully. Jonathan helped set her up to feed her baby brother.
"Think we have to tell Michael?" Mick asked, glancing around the room, before his eyes settled on his children.
"Most definitely," Miranda sighed, brushed her fingers against Zoe's temple, who was grinning like mad. "We can't afford an enemy like him."
"What are you going to name him?" Aubrey asked hoping to distract them.
Miranda looked up at Mick, crooking her finger at him. He leaned closer allowing her whispered vampire quiet in his ear. A very slight smile over his lips, as he nodded. "I like it."
They both turned to face the others and said together. "Jack Josef St. John."
