Ryo lies in the hospital bed after his delivery. The doctor walks in with Dee at his heels.

Dee looks into his lovers eyes and smiles one of rare his non-cocky, sensitive smiles.

"Hey Dee. How are you?" Ryo says as he sends a smile to his nervous lover.

Dee was about to answer when the nurse walks in and hands a small bundle to Ryo. She patted Dee's shoulder as she said "congratulations," and leaves the room. Ryo looks down at the bundle and beckons Dee to come and see.

Dee walks over next to the Ryo and looks down. Bundled in the blanket is the one thing Dee never thought he could ever love as much as he loves Ryo. It's a beautiful bouncing baby……….GIRL?

Ryo looks at Dee. "So, what should we name her?"

Dee looks at his daughter in aw. Then finally he snapped out of it and said with a smile, "Mary. How about Mary?"

Ryo looked at Dee and then down to his baby girl. "Mary is a perfect name. Mary Jane Laytner. It sounds perfect." Ryo looked back at Dee and smiled.

The doctor walks to the other side of the bed and says with interest, "so, your child will have the father-fathers last name then?"

Dee glances at Ryo and then back to the doctor. "You heard what the man said doc," Dee said as a cocky grin appeared on his face.

Ryo looked up to his cocky lover. "Dee, how are we going to care for Mary? I mean, we both have to work the same shift."

Dee thinks out what Ryo just said. "Ya' know your right." Dee said looking at his baby girl, Mary. "Why don't we bring her to work wi…" Dee stops in midsentence as he sees the look on Ryo's face, "what?"

"Dee, we need to hire a babysitter for her. We can't take her to work, she could get hurt. Plus what would the chief and the commissioner do if they found out about this?" Ryo said as he began to think rapidly.

The doctor called the nurse to take Mary to her hospital bed. "You two should talk this over. I will be in the office down the hall if you need me. Oh and I will ask everyone not to disturb you." The doctor said with a wink as he left the room, shutting the door behind him.

Ryo stared at the door and then back to his lover.

Dee and Ryo were alone at last. Dee looks into Ryo's eyes as he licks his lips and brings them close to Ryo's. As their lips locked Dee thought to himself, hell the commissioner would kill me if he found out about this." He forced his tongue into Ryo's mouth to deepen the kiss.

Ryo pulls away from Dee and looks sternly into his lover's eyes. "What are you thinking about Dee? You're not kissing like yourself. You're kissing like…. like…. the commissioner." Ryo looked at Dee with worry in his eyes.

Dee said in a soft, comforting voice, "it… it's nothing Ryo, don't worry about it. It's just a small thing no big deal. You relax now Ryo. I have to get to work. I will make up some type of excuse for you." With that Dee walks out of the room and goes to work at the 27th precinct of the New York Police Department (NYPD).
