"That's a wonderful name," Jake said wrapping his arms around her.
"It's okay Jason. Mommy and Daddy are here," Manny said placing a hand in the incubator and stroking the little boy's cheek.
"Manny look at me," Jake said in her ear.
Manny turned around and looked into his eyes. She had tears in hers.
"He'll make it. He's a fighter, just like his mother and his sisters. I know that he won't give up," Jake said to her.

Jake put his finger on her lips.
"Listen to me. He'll make it. Your a fighter and so is he," Jake said.
"I hope your right," Manny said turning back to the little baby boy fighting for his life.
That night Manny and Jake went home to get some sleep. They would come back the next morning.
"Mommy! Daddy," Alexis said when she saw her mom and dad walk through the door. She had been laying on the floor coloring. Phoebe was cooking dinner. Emily was nowhere in sight.

That night Manny went to bed thinking of her little boy fighting for his life.
The next morning Jake and Manny woke up and waited for Phoebe to arrive before leaving for the hospital. When they got there the doctor was waiting to talk to them.
"Hello Jake, Manuela. I have some bad news and some good news," The doctor said looking sad.
