Shannon and Scott sat in the tiny diner. She had suggested that they go here, Shannon loved the place. They had filled each other in on what was going on in the other's lives. After they had eaten, Shannon decided it was time. She pulled some pictures out of her purse and handed them to Scott.

"He's cute. How is he?" Scott asked. Shannon drew in a breath. Now or never.

"Your son." Scott looked up at her. She guessed that surprise was coating his unseen eye's.

"Mine?" He asked, making sure. Shannon nodded.

"I am sure." There was a moment of silence.

"What's his name?" Shannon smiled.

"Griffon. Griffon Scott Hayden. I wanted him to have a piece of you." Another silence.

Shannon finally asked, "Does he have your eye's?" Griffon's eye's were deep chocolate brown with what seemed to be a hint of silver. Scott nodded. "He does." She smiled again.

"What happened? To his mouth?" He asked, screening the photo.

"He was born with Clef-Lip Clef-Pallet." He looked up at her again.

"He's had the majority of his surgeries. He still needs a nose job to breath threw it better, and when he's about five or six, they're gonna take a piece of his hip bone and put it in the roof of his mouth."

"No efense to your life style, but, how did you pay for all of this?" He asked.

"Oh, my dad's a doctor. He's really in good with the hospital." The check came and Scott took her home.

"Do you think..." He trailed off as she unlocked the front door.

"Do you think I could see him?" Shannon smiled.

"He's sleeping. But, you can still come in and see him. If you want, you can come by tomarrow if you wanna meet him." He nodded.

"Great." They walked up the stairs and Shannon showed him to Griffon's bedroom.

"Remember that room you were supposed to sleep in, but knocked me up instead?" She joked. She slowly and quitely opened the door. Scott walked over to the crib.

Little Griffon Scott Haydn lay sleeping. He looked so innocent. Scott felt a strange tingle in the pit of his stomach. This was definatly his son.
