Chapter 205

Luca woke up to the rustling in the kitchen and saw the father – daughter duo busy making breakfast. Wordlessly he took his blanket and pillow from the couch and retreated upstairs to continue his sleep in his sister and brother in law's bedroom. That became their new morning ritual that whenever they woke up he could go upstairs and sleep further until he felt like getting up. He was against the idea at first when Alex suggested this but now he didn't mind it, he had to admit their bed were so comfortable. Making a mental note that once Alex gets discharged he would suggest moving back to his apartment and will keep going to his AA meetings so they can have some time to settle in as a new family with their added member, and besides he needed to get back onto his own two feet and start living life as an adult.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Ryan yawned standing in front of the fridge with his daughter on his arm. Like someone who new what she was looking for Phoebe looked in the fridge and pointed to a juice box, and some yogurt. "Alright then." The father decided not sure how filling this will be but he is willing to take the chance and bend the rules a bit since his wife wasn't home and if this meant keeping his daughter at bay and tantrum free this is what he will do. He out Phoebe on the couch and decided that he will deal with the yogurt mess that will be on the couch since she wanted to eat by herself while he cleaned the kitchen.

Alex laid in the hospital bed when one of the nurses knocked on the door and came inside. "Happy mother's day new mama." She smiled and Alex couldn't help but feel her heart skip a few beats. "Thank you." She smiled in return.

"And as a gift, I came to tell you that your son is a real fighter, he made a turn for the better and is off the ventilators, so much so that we could move him into a normal ward as he doesn't need to be in NICU anymore." The nurse smiled as she checked on Alex's stats. "He might have to stay here for about a week or two, just until he is able to nurse or drink bottle but the way things look now he is going to be fine." The nurse explained and looked at Alex when she didn't answer her, but judging from the shiny eyes in the new mother she assumed that it was tears of joy. "We'll bath him and then bring him to you to spend a few hours before we take him back."

Alex was so excited and happy at the same time that she didn't know how to react to this news but she just waned to hold her son. After dragging herself out of bed and walking painfully slow across the room towards the bathroom to take a shower she became irritated with the fact that she needs help to do minimal things – she made a mental note that a C section is not part of her birth plan if they plan on having another one again after this.

"Pheebs, what should you say to Mama when we get to hospital?" Ryan asked his daughter when they stopped in the parking lot of the hospital to see if she remembered what they had rehearsed on their way there.

"Good Mama day!" She declared more obsessed with a card she held in her hand that she was ordered to give to her mother.

"Yeah, something like that." Ryan laughed as he got her out of the car seat and walked with her on his arm and a big bunch of pink and white roses that he got at the gift shop to give to his wife. They walked into the room and Ryan was surprised to see the crib and the blue blanket next to Alex's bedside, not wanting to get too excited by just assuming that it is his son, but on the other hand who else would it be? "Good Mama day, Mama!" Phoebe declared proudly when she saw her mother, making her way down her father's arm and running over to Alex's bedside with the card in her hand.

"Thank you bub." Alex laughed kissing her daughter while Ryan helped her onto the bed carefully in an attempt not to hurt her mother who was already uncomfortable. He set the flowers down and walked over to the opposite side of the bed. "Happy mother's day." He smiled and kissed her sincerely not being able to tear his eyes away from the little bundle in the crib.

"He's doing so much better. We might come home within a week, hopefully." She answered his questioning look as he lifted the blanket to get a better look at his son.

"Can I pick him up?" Ryan asked not sure if he should pick the baby up because he still seemed so much smaller than what Phoebe was when she was born, but then again their little miss wasn't born at 7 months.

"Yes Ryan." Alex laughed at how careful he was with their son.

"Mama new baby?" Phoebe asked pointing to him.

"Yeah, it's your brother. His name is Asher." Alex explained and Ryan stood closer to the bed so Phoebe can get a better look at him.

"Hewo baby. I big sister." She declared looking at the sleeping baby, making her parents chuckle a little.

"Yeah you're a big sister now. Do you like him?" Alex asked and Phoebe looked between her father who already seemed like he had forgotten about her, and was more interested with the new baby.

Phoebe shook her head. "He not come home wif us. He stay here. My dada." Phoebe declared her previous announced contradicted when she said she was Asher's big sister.

Hey guys, I realize that it might be a bit unrealistic for Asher to heal up so fast but I just wanted him to be healthy so they can get back to normal and get on with their FBI lives as I have a few new cases planned. Also, I heard Quantico is not coming back for a fourth season but don't worry our Fanfic will never end (not if I can mind it) so here the Booth's will always live happily ever after. And what's up with this new relationships? I feel like Caleb and Shelby belong together and not the new dude, but oh well…Enjoy the read. And happy mother's day to all the mommas out there! You guys rock.
