Stephanie smiled as everyone walked into the room.
"How are you?" Vince asked as he kissed her.
"Tired but generally fine." Stephanie beamed.
"Where's the baby?" Sandra asked.
"They took her to do some checks and make sure everything was ok." Replied Steph.
At that moment the doctor walked back into the room with the baby in his arms. He smiled. "Who should I give her too?" He asked laughing.
"I'll take her." Paul said. "I haven't had a hold yet."
The doctor gave the baby to Paul.
"Was everything ok?" Shane asked.
"Fine. Perfect. One hundred percent healthy. She weighed in at 6lbs 13 ozs, 36cm in length and everythings fine. Congratulations." He nodded.
"Thank you." Said Stephanie as he walked out of the room.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Linda asked.
"No, not yet." Stephanie shook her head. "We came up with a list of names before but none of them seem right now."
"Oh no. We're not going to have to go through days of deliberation are we?" Paul jokingly moaned as he walked round with the baby.
"A name's important you know." Marissa said. "Shane and I took about two days to come up with names for our two."
A look of wonderment came over Shane's face as he remembered. "Yeah, you were so picky about it. Every name I suggested got shot down." He looked at Paul. "If I were you, just agree with any name Steph suggests because in my experience women won't relax until they've got their way."
Paul laughed.
"That's so true." Vince said agreeing with his son. "It was Linda's choice of name both times."
Tom chimed in. "In my experience it was the same way too. Never disagree with the wife, I learnt that about six months into our marriage and since then I've learnt to keep my mouth shut. Anything for a quiet life."
Everyone laughed.
"Hey, speaking of our two. Where are they?" Shane asked.
"My mom and dad are looking after them."
"Ohh, I knew we lived near both of our parents for a reason." Shane nodded.
"Oh, so that's your game is it?" Linda asked. "We're just the babysitters."
Shane nodded. "Pretty much! Just kidding mom."
The laughter and merryment continued for a few hours. Vince convinced the head nurse to let him bring in a few bottles of champagne to wet the baby's head, as it were. Everyone apart from Stephanie and obviously the baby had some. Everyone took turns at holding the latest addition to the family.
