Mike's Point of View
"MIKE CALLAHAN, YOU ARE NEVER TOUCHING ME AGAIN!"
'I know what you're thinking, and yes, that is Ava Brenner. Well, Ava Callahan, now. We got married in August, after she was notified of That's right, I got her pregnant. I can remember that day so well, too. "...Looks like you need some help...". Yeah, a lot of help I was. Merlin, what was I thinking?! So anyway, she found out she was pregnant at the end of August, and her immediate reaction was to get married as soon as possible. But you and I both know that couldn't happen. Not yet, anyway. After all, she still wasn't aware of my condition. So I calmly explained to her that not only could I do magic inside the bedroom, but outside aswell. I thought she was going to have a heart attack. So here I am, in the hall of St. Mungo's, while my wife gives birth to my first child. I hope it's not a muggle. Naturaly, I have nothing against them, but it must blow to be one.
"Mr. Callahan?" I looked up to see the origin of the voice that broke me out of my reverie. It was Healer Armstrong. "You can come see your wife now."
I almost didn't go in, until I heard the unmistakable cry of a baby.
"Hey," I whispered to Ava, brushing the damp hair off her forehead.
"It's a boy," she replied with a small smile. "They're washing him off, now."
"What're we going to name him," I asked.
"Keegan Michael Callahan, Jr.," she instantly replied.
I chuckled quietly. "Been giving it much thought?"
"30 hours of labor, Mike. 30."
