Fathers, Uncles, and "I Love You's"
The six of them made their way silently down the halls of the hospital. Shawn held Angela's hand the whole way, mostly for his own benefit.
When they got to the lobby, Shawn released his grip and sat down beside Angela on one of the tacky lobby chairs. "I love you," he said into her ear. "No matter what I decide today, that will never change. I don't know it makes any difference that I tell you every day in the exact same way."
"It does." Angela's lips curled up slightly. "And I love you too."
He stood up, bent over, and kissed her again, then walked away.
"I can't believe Shawn's gonna be a father," Cory breathed.
"I can't believe I'm gonna be an uncle," Jack remarked, looking over at Eric. "I'm too young!"
"Get over yourself, man," Eric replied.
