Chapter 6

Family

After Joan had picked Luke up from the airport they drove together to the hospital to visit again.

"So how cute is he?" Luke asked as Joan began to merge back onto the highway.

"I have never seen a cuter baby Luke; he has bright blue eyes and light brown hair. He is just perfect, but what did you expect he has some good looking relatives!" she joked. "So why didn't Amy come with you?" Joan asked curiously. Jaime was Luke's current girlfriend of three years; he had met her during his first week at MIT. They were both in the same major, and had similar classes. Amy was good for Luke, yes she loved science and everything that he was obsessed with but she knew that there were other more important things in life as well. Luke needed that, he needed someone to show him that yes science is a part of life but not everything is about science.

"She had an important paper to write for her anatomy course." He answered quickly

"Well aren't you two like in all the same classes how come you don't have a paper to write?" Joan asked

"I wrote mine over the weekend, because I had such a light load in everything else." He explained as Joan quickly pulled into the visitor's parking in front of the hospital.

"Okay here we are" she said as she pulled the key out of the ignition and grabbed her purse. Luke grabbed his card off of the dashboard and followed Joan into the Hospital and up to the maternity ward. She walked up to Alexis' door and knocked gently.

"Come in" Kevin called from inside.

Joan walked in followed by Luke.

"Hey Joan, Luke great to see you" Kevin said giving Luke a hug. "I'm guessing you're here to see the little guy not me right" Kevin smiled at him

"Well, yes of course, but I'm here to see you too" Luke answered nervously.

"Okay well he's right over there in his crib if you want to hold him" Kevin told him as he pointed to the side of Alexis' bed.

"Where's Alexis?" Joan asked noticing that the bed was empty.

"She's in the bathroom, she'll be out in a minute" he answered as he picked his magazine back up and began to read again. Luke was standing next to Jason's crib just staring at him nervously.

"Luke you can pick him up" Kevin told him when he noticed Luke hadn't moved.

"Yeah, I've never held a baby what if I drop him" Luke told him nervously.

"Luke, you're not going to drop him, here" Kevin said as he came over to Luke. He gently picked up the sleeping baby. "Sit down" he told Luke and he did. "Now hold your arms like this and make sure you support his head okay" Kevin instructed as he gently placed Jason in his brother's arms. "See it's not that bad." Kevin told him as he watched his little brother hold his son. Joan laughed quietly and then took Kevin's camera that had been sitting on the table she quickly snapped a few pictures of the three of them.

Alexis stepped out of the bathroom "Oh hi Joan, hey Luke! I was just freshening up, I can't wait to get home and get a shower!" she smiled. She climbed back into bed and she and Joan began to talk about the latest gossip in Hollywood and the great sales at the mall on bathing suits. Kevin sat by Luke as he held Jason.

"You can have him back" Luke said as he gently gave Jason back to Kevin.

"Okay" Kevin said as he held Jason and gazed into his face.

"Kevin did you call your mom about the baby sling" Alexis asked

"Yeah she said she would pick one up and drop it off later" he told her as he placed Jason back in his crib.

"What's a baby sling?" Joan asked confused.

"It a big piece of padded material that you sling over your shoulder and the baby lies right in front of you but it leaves your hands free, there is a picture of it in that catalogue." Alexis explained pointing to a magazine lying on the table. Joan picked it up and flipped through until she found the picture.

"Oh that's really cool!" Joan said reading the description in the catalogue.

"Yeah, we're getting one for Kevin." Alexis told her.

"Why?" she asked not realizing why Kevin would need it.

"I can't hold Jason and move at the same time. It just doesn't work" Kevin explained quickly.

"Oh, right, I didn't think of that." Joan answered realizing how stupid she sounded.

Joan and Luke left about half an hour later and returned home. They entered the house and were immediately engulfed in the smells of something delicious.

"Oh, that smells good! What are we having for dinner?" Joan asked as she walked into the kitchen.

"Pizza" Helen answered.

"What? Who's all this other good food for?" Joan asked as she looked at a pan of her dad's lasagna longingly.

"Kevin and Alexis, it's hard to cook when you have a new baby" Helen explained as she placed slices of pizza on plates. "You guys can eat I have to drop this baby sling off at the hospital, I'll be back in a little bit." Helen said as she rushed out of the house.

"I think we have been replaced by a 7 lb. poop machine" Joan joked.

"That's what happens I guess; why are we always the ones that get ignored and it's always a result of Kevin" Luke complained as he took a bite of his pizza.

"I don't know but I guess we can't blame the baby, he's too cute" Joan answered. "We'll just have to get married and have our own kids. And not ignore any of them"

"Eew! Joan we can't get married we're related. That is disgusting!"

"Not me and you! Us separately like you and another girl and me and another boy. Sometimes a wonder about you Luke, you may be a genius but you lack a whole lot of common sense." Joan answered disgusted that he would even think that.

Joan had to admit that she hated being ignored, but Jason was so cute so she couldn't blame everyone for paying attention to him. This was what family was about, bringing new people into the world to be a part of your family. And no matter what she always had Luke who understands what it was like to be ignored they had gone through it together before and they would go through it together again. Even if she was being ignored she couldn't feel anything but happy. Kevin had a son, something he had always dreamed about and something he had almost given up on until he met Alexis. She was proud of him and so happy to be apart of this family.

Kevin was as happy as he ever could be he had a beautiful and caring wife and now he had the most amazing little boy to raise. Yes, he still had doubts about being a dad but he was positive he would give his son the best life possible. He was so glad that he now had his own family to raise.
