Levi quickly made his way back to the delivery room and is greeted by Doctor Nahaolelua who is wearing a very large smile.
Doctor Nahaolelua pushed the door open and motioned for Levi to enter the room.
The first thing Levi saw when he stepped inside is his sweat soaked wife holding the bundle that is their child.
Kennedy smiled at him and held the sleeping baby up for him to hold. "Say hello to your daddy, Alex." She whispered.
A large grin over took Levi's entire face as he took the bundle into his arms. "I have a son." He said in awe. "Hello there, little fellow. Remember me? I used to talk to you when you were still in your mama's tummy." He could feel his heart swell with pride as eyes to match his own opened upon hearing his soft words. "He's perfect." He looked back to his wife. "Thank you for this gift." The moment is interrupted by a nurse who came to take the baby for his check up. After the bundle is taken from his arms, Levi plopped down into a chair beside the bed.
"What's wrong, Levi?" Asked a concerned Kennedy.
"Race and I kinda got into an argument." Levi mumbled as he laid his head onto the bed.
Kennedy blinked, holding back a sigh that threatened to escape from her lips. "Whatever for?" She dared to ask.
Levi shook his head. "We're dead, Jess." He ventured use of her real name, knowing they were alone in the room for the time being. The serious of the conversation warranted it.
A tired chuckle escaped from her mouth as Kennedy reached out to feel her husbands forehead. "Dead? Jonny, we're right here. Are you feeling ok? Maybe you hit your head when you fainted?" She suggested, almost using his given name.
"I'm fine!" Levi snapped then gave her an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, love." He pinched the bridge of his nose and explained further. "We've been dead for over two years. They found two bodies and concluded that they were us. We're dead."
Kennedy blinked. "Why didn't they consider that, maybe, just maybe, we ran away?"
Levi stood and began to pace. "The police did consider that but our fathers persuaded them that we would never do that. Race said that we had no reason to run away and if we had had problems then we would have talked to them about it.
"We could have never talked to them about our problem because they were our problem." Kennedy stated.
"I know that. They would have totally flipped out. But at least, now, we know your mother kept her word and never told them." Levi sat on the edge of the bed and wrapped his arms around his exhausted wife.
"Mom was supposed to arrive today, remember? When she sees that we're not at home, she's going to come here. What then? Her arrival will spark questions." Kennedy just remembered.
"Let's deal with that when it happens. Right now...I just want to think about our son." Levi stated and started to drift off to sleep, Kennedy followed a short time later.
