Chapter Twelve: At Peace

Three weeks had passed since Jack and Kay brought their daughter home and Miguel was sentenced. Kay was leaving Harmony Hospital, where Dr. Russell had just taken her stitches out. She had also done a complete physical while she was there.

Kay stretched out on the couch with Maria asleep on her chest. Jack was at work, and Kay had just dozed off when the phone rang. She reached up and answered it, her eyes still closed.

"Hi Kay, it's Dr. Russell. I just needed to call you about something that came to my attention," Eve said.

"Okay, go ahead. I'm listening," Kay told her, still half asleep. After Eve spoke, Kay's eyes shot open. "But I thought that was impossible!" she yelled. Maria woke up and started to cry, but fell back asleep a moment later.

"I thought it was too. I guess it's a miracle," Dr. Russell said.

"Thanks for the news. I have to call Jack now," Kay said and quickly hung up.

"Why do you have to call me?" Jack asked as he walked in the door.

"I'm so glad you're home!" Kay whispered as loud as she could. "I have to tell you something, but can you get Maria off of me first?" she asked. Jack lifted his daughter up and Kay stood. He put Maria back onto the couch and followed his wife into the kitchen.

"What is it that you wanted to tell me?" he asked anxiously.

"Jack…I'm pregnant!" Kay yelled.

"What?" he asked. "But I thought that…"

"So did I," she told him. "Dr. Russell said it's a miracle. I can't even believe it myself."

"But are you one hundred percent sure?" Jack asked skeptically.

"Positive." Kay threw her arms around her husband and he kissed her passionately. They were going to have a child of their own. And he couldn't be happier.

"Just one more push Kay!" Dr. Russell told her. Nine months had passed and Kay was finally having her baby.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," Jack counted out as Kay pushed. Sam, Jessica, and Maria were out in the waiting room with Jack's family. All of a sudden, Kay and Jack heard crying. Their baby was finally here.

"It's a boy!" Dr. Russell yelled excitedly. "Congratulations you two." She placed the baby on Kay's chest, who held him and cried happy tears.

"We have a son," she whispered to Jack who kissed her lightly.

"He's beautiful," Jack told her. "What are we going to name him?"

"I was thinking Maxwell Alijah Bennet," Kay whispered.

"Hey there Max," Jack said to his son. "It's perfect." He kissed Kay on her forehead, and then kissed Max.

A few hours later, after Max was cleaned up and everyone had visited him, Kay and Jack were sitting side by side on her bed. Kay was holding Max and Jack was holding Maria. Both of their children were fast asleep, but Jack and Kay were just gazing at them, smiling and watching them sleep. After a few minutes, Kay drifted off to sleep, and so did Jack.

Kay finally had the family she had always dreamed of.
