She woke up slowly, she woke up to the sound of rain at the window and the low soothing voice of Logan. She opened her eyes searching out the source of that sound and saw him at the window, holding their daughter who was wrapped in a pink blanket.

"See that" he whispered to the silent baby "That's the Space Needle. Your mommy likes to go there to think, but I think we're gonna keep you off that for at least a few years. It's really not as fun as it looks. Don't tell Mommy though that it makes Daddy want to throw up."

Max was in heaven for a few brief moments until she caught sight of his hand covered in those ugly latex gloves. He couldn't touch their daughter. As if he could hear her thoughts he leaned down to kiss their daughter's forehead. Then he turned "Hey you're awake."

Max nodded and continued to look at them.

"She's fine," he said gazing down at his daughter "We're both fine."

"But the gloves?" she shook her head, she was so confused.

"I was holding your hand until she woke up demanding attention."

"Oh."

She looked at them again. Madonna and Child had nothing on them.

"You're not lying? Everything is fine?"

"Perfect." he said moving over to the bed, he sat down on the bed next to her and she double checked his body, making sure clothing and gloves covered all skin.

"Now you haven't had the chance to properly say hello to this little girl." he said cradling the baby in front of Max, so she could get a good look at her even lying down.

She reached out and held her daughter's hand, "Is she perfect?"

He grinned "Ten fingers, ten toes and no barcodes. I want you to know I counted the fingers and toes a good dozen times, but if you feel the need to do it again, I'd understand."

She smiled as she turned her attention to Logan, "She's going to look like you. She has your hair and eyes."

"I do believe I see your nose." he said looking down at their daughter, to once more examine her beauty.

She couldn't speak, she just kept looking at Logan, her gaze caused him to turn upward again.

"Hey," he said brushing her cheek with his gloved finger, "You okay?"

She nodded

"You gonna cry?"

She thought for a brief moment about lying, but then she nodded her head "I'm blaming the hormones" she laughed as she brushed away the tears that had suddenly fallen out of her eyes.

He smiled, "Want to hold her?"

She nodded remembering what it felt like only hours ago to have her placed on her chest, she'd thought her heart was going to explode out her chest. She pushed herself up a little.

"Hey let's go to mommy little one." he said as he shifted the almost dozing newborn over to Max.

"Wow" Max whisper looking down at their daughter, completely unprepared for the new assault of emotions.

"I know" Logan said stroking their daughter's cheek with his finger.

"Definitely Marissa" she said thinking of the two names they had discussed, they had only wanted a new name. Nothing that tied them to the past and everything they had both lost, she deserved her own name, not one that tied her to ghosts.

He smiled "That's what I was thinking too." He examined the baby once more, "I think she's gonna be a tomboy."

Max tilted her head and gave him a look, "She better be a tomboy or Original Cindy's gonna have to move in with us."

"Ooh, did I just hear my name and moving in? You know my bags are already packed." Cindy said peeking through the doors "

"Hey Cindy, come say hello to your niece." Logan said looking over

"You know I've been waiting to hear that for over an hour." She said entering the room.

"Her name's Marissa." Max whispered over the baby as Cindy moved in for a closer look.

"She's perfect." Cindy said as tears welled up in her eyes.

Logan laughed as he looked at Max, "Feel better? We've all cried now." thinking back to seeing his daughter being placed on her mother's chest for the first time.

The baby woke up again to her father's laugh, "Since she's up you wanna hold her" Max said lifting up her daughter, knowing she wouldn't part with her for anyone but the people in this room.

"You don't need to ask me twice." Original Cindy said taking the baby. She turned all of her attention away from Max and Logan to Marissa, "Hey sweetie, I'm your Aunt Cindy or your Aunt OC, actually I'm gonna have to get back to you on what to call me. Just know that I'm the one who keeps your Mommy and Daddy in that crazy thing they call a relationship. You have two crazy fools you do for parents. You gotta watch them, leave them to their own devices and they're idiots."

Max gave Logan a laughing frown and he tried to contain his laughter.
