He walked hand in hand with Maisie down to the nursery. The blinds were drawn but flipped open enough for them to see through the window. He noticed a nurse inside and tapped on the glass. She opened the door next to the windows and asked him which baby was his. He stated her name and then made an executive decision, knowing he would never hear the end of it from Claire when she recovered. "Aiden Harper Dearing-Grady, but I need to make a change to that before signing the birth certificate." Maisie looked up at him and gave a warning look. She knew what he was up to and she knew Claire would kill him when it was all over with. Part of her wanted to try and talk him out of it, but she secretly liked the name "Aiden Claire" better than "Aiden Harper" too. The nurse brought the birth certificate to him and asked what the change was. He notified her that the middle name needed to be changed to "Claire". The nurse obliged and expressed her support for the name change. "Ooh, that's so pretty. I love the name Harper, but 'Aiden Claire' just has such a pretty ring to it! 'Claire' is such a pretty name!" Owen smiled at the nurse and said, "Yeah, it's my favorite name. My girlfriend is going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I'm prepared to take what's coming to me which will probably be a flying stiletto to my head at some point!" The nurse laughed and asked, "Oh, she sounds feisty!" "You have no idea," Owen said with a smirk on his face. He looked down at Maisie and waited for her to agree with him. Maisie just looked at him like he was about to be thrown to a pack of raptors for dinner. The kid was smart. She knew not to get in the middle of a Claire and Owen argument. She knew more times than not Claire would win. The nurse asked if Owen's girlfriend didn't like the name "Claire" and he lowered his voice to give her the details. "No, she likes the name but her first name is Claire and she thinks it's egotistical if we name the baby after her. She had a postpartum hemorrhage right after giving birth earlier and is getting a blood transfusion right now. I want to name Aiden after her mother just in case..." He stopped himself. He didn't even want to say the words out loud that were floating around in his head, especially in front of Maisie. The nurse got the point he was trying to make and said she understood. A new certificate was placed in front of him with Aiden's new middle name on it, and he signed it without any hesitation of his decision. The nurse then made Owen and Maisie wash their hands. She walked over to a row of babies in clear, plastic bassinets and picked Aiden up and brought her to Owen. There was a rocking chair in the corner of the room. He was instructed to sit down and she handed Aiden to him. Aiden was wrapped in a pink blanket with a pink and white striped hat on her head. She was sleeping soundly in his arms. Maisie stood next to him and gazed at the baby. She had never seen anything so tiny and precious. She was amazed at this brand new soft human being in Owen's arms. "She is so cute!" Maisie shared her excitement and then made the same revelation to Owen that he made to Claire earlier in the delivery room. "Sorry Owen, but she looks more like Claire." Owen let out a "ha" and said he agreed with Maisie. "It's okay. I actually told Claire the same thing earlier. That just means she's beautiful...just like Claire." Maisie looked up at him and nodded. She asked if she could hold the baby and he promised her she would be able to hold her later after Claire held the baby first. He wanted Claire to be able to hold her child again before anyone else. He kept telling himself she was going to be alright even though his head and heart were both pounding and his stomach was in knots over what was going on. He held Aiden for a few more minutes until the nurse came back by and asked if they would like to watch her get her footprints taken. Maisie excitedly said yes and Owen stood with his baby in his arms and handed her back to the nurse. She laid Aiden down in another clear bassinet and removed the blanket from her body. She was naked underneath except for a diaper. She had a small hospital bracelet attached to her left ankle with hers and Claire's identification on it. The nurse got the ink out and stamped both of Aiden's feet, causing her to wake up and cry. She had some good lungs for a newborn, just one more thing to confirm she was definitely Claire's child. He knew he would be arguing with Aiden in about 13 years over boys or clothes or something and getting yelled at with a bedroom door slammed in his face. He hoped Maisie being more of a tomboy would give him a break. He hoped Aiden would turn out a dinosaur loving tomboy too so he wouldn't have to take blood pressure medicine of his own for the rest of his life. He feared at least one of them would turn out a girly girl like their mother though and give him a run for his money. "Probably both of them eventually, knowing my luck," he thought to himself. Even though Maisie wasn't biologically his or Claire's, she was just like Claire, except for the clothes and shoes part. The nurse wiped Aiden's feet off with a warm wash cloth and some lavender scented Johnson and Johnson's baby soap. She wrapped her back up in the blanket and gave her a bottle to calm her back down.
