- You want to wear Jamie...
At Eames' proposal to hold Jamie, Goren jumped violently, his face red, and stepped back, putting his hands in front of him, and waving them.
- How can I put this...
At Goren's reaction...
Eames put a small mocking smile on his lips.
That was Goren...
That reaction.
Did he really think Jamie was going to eat him.
Goren couldn't believe Eames would offer him such a thing.
She couldn't be serious.
Trusting him with her child.
But she wasn't well.
Even for a second.
Goren couldn't accept.
Even though he was dying to.
But Jamie was so small...
So fragile.
- Jamie would be safe with his uncle... She brought her face closer to her son, who chirped with pleasure. Isn't that Jamie...
Name of God...
Jamie was safe with him...
Goren wasn't so sure.
He had never held such a small being.
And especially...
Not a being that was a part of him.
And he was afraid.
Afraid of himself.
Of his own reactions.
And if he ever...
No.
He just couldn't.
An accident happened so quickly.
And he didn't want to risk it.
- I don't...
At Goren's hesitation, Eames's heart sank, and an immense sadness rose in her.
She had thought that he would be happy to hold him in his arms.
That it was out of apprehension...
But she must have been mistaken.
Goren didn't want it.
And would never accept Jamie.
At the immense sadness that was painted on Eames' face, Goren felt his heart clench.
No.
Anything but this.
He didn't want to hurt Eames.
And that's what he had just done.
But he was so afraid.
Afraid of his own reactions.
Afraid that he would hurt the baby.
And he was so insecure.
But seeing the sadness on Eames' face made him give in.
He wanted to see her smile...
To see that smile that had lit up her face when he saw her holding Jamie when he arrived.
- Very well... He put his hand to the back of her neck, not daring to look at her, everything was embarrassing. I want to hold Jamie.
But Goren was doing this for Eames...
For her alone.
And she smiled again.
He would make an effort.
And make her happy.
And besides...
Eames wasn't asking her for much.
She was just offering to hold Jamie.
It wouldn't commit him to anything else.
And yet...
If Eames wanted him to be more than just an uncle to Jamie...
And to accept his fatherhood...
Then maybe...
But he pulled himself together.
No.
He was imagining things.
He was imagining the impossible.
Hadn't they said there would be no feelings?
And so...
He had to stop hoping.
And not imagine that one day he and Jamie and Eames...
Would be a family.
But if that were possible...
No.
He had to stop thinking about that.
- Bobby...
At Eames' questioning, concerned voice, Goren snapped out of his thoughts, and walked over to Eames, opened his arms, and with gentleness and delicacy, Eames placed Jamie in his arms.
Goren gently picked up Jamie, being careful not to hurt him, positioned his head on his arm, and gently held him, cradled him.
My God...
How light Jamie was.
And to think that this child was a part of him.
Goren looked at Jamie, who clenched his fists, smiled widely, and chirped with pleasure.
As Jamie smiled at him, Goren felt his heart overflow with love for this little being.
Jamie was truly a beautiful baby.
And that smile...
It was all Eames.
Contrary to what he had thought...
That fear he'd had...
He felt soothed to have his son in his arms.
And most importantly...
Jamie had accepted him right away.
Goren was so proud that this little piece was a part of Eames and him.
Who knew Eames would make such a perfect baby...
With a father like him.
But a great sadness rose up inside him.
He could never be Jamie's father.
He would only be the uncle.
Being his uncle was already a lot.
But Goren in his heart wanted to be more.
He couldn't deny it.
Like he had done in pushing away, and hiding his feelings for Jamie's mother.
But Goren knew that he had helped Eames have a child.
And that even if he was the father.
He would never have any rights over Jamie.
But if only everything could have been different.
But that was simply impossible.
He would always be the shadow...
Eames would always be the light.
They could never be together.
Eames would never want a man like him.
And even less...
In his life.
At the joy on Goren's face, which turned to sadness, Eames felt his heart clench.
What could have changed his mood like that.
Didn't Goren see the adoration that his son had for him.
That Jamie had accepted him right away.
Just by his gesture of possession, when he had with his little fingers squeezed his thumb.
So why this sudden sadness on his face.
Would Goren like to be more than his uncle...
Could it be possible...
That he would want to be his full father.
No.
It couldn't be that.
Eames couldn't deny it.
She'd already asked too much of him.
Asking him for his help in getting Jamie.
She couldn't impose a father role on him, too.
But in this moment...
Eames wanted to see him smile, and erase that sadness.
She wanted to see his face light up, like the moment he saw Jamie.
- If you want... Goren looked up from Jamie, to Eames, who was looking at him intently. You can take care of Jamie...
Take care of Jamie...
At his words, Goren's heart beat violently in his chest, ready to break.
Was it true...
Had he heard her words correctly.
Eames was allowing him to take care of Jamie.
God...
This was the best day of his life.
A small smile appeared on his lips.
A smile that disarmed Eames, turning her upside down.
So that was it.
Goren wanted to take care of Jamie.
Eames couldn't have hoped for more.
-If Jamie is here... it's because of you.
Because of him...
But he hadn't done much.
Eames owed it to herself.
Goren heard a small gasp, and he lowered his face to where the sound was coming from.
At the sight in his arms, he felt himself melting.
Jamie had just fallen asleep.
Did that mean that Jamie felt safe with him.
But if only it could be the case with his mother.
That she would want to come back into his arms.
And why not have the hope of creating a family life between the three of them.
Who knows...
Maybe one day...
He could win over his mother.
- Jamie is... Eames nodded, a big smile on his face. Asleep.
Naturally.
How could he not fall asleep in the arms of such a tender man...
And who was her father.
She remembered the night she had spent in his arms...
Where Jamie was conceived.
His tenderness...
His gentleness with her.
She couldn't forget him.
At the memory, she blushed violently.
Eames laid her eyes on the two most important men in her life.
Even if one of them didn't know it.
Goren and Jamie were so cute together...
A father and son...
Maybe one day...
