The sun was beginning to peek in the windows of the waiting room, and Alec and Kevin, though not asleep, were feeling sick with anticipation. Nurse Willow was really bitchy not to at least TELL them how Leslie…or even if she was still going at all! Kevin's bottom lip was getting numb, having been stuck between his teeth all night, and Alec didn't have any nails left on either of his hands. It was June 19th, 1986. The clock on the wall read 6:19 AM. Ten hours since Leslie called Alec to tell him she was in labor. Alec was the first to notice Wendy standing in the doorway to the maternity ward, and to stand up. Kevin followed suit quickly. Wendy looked exhausted, but her smile spoke volumes.

"She's beautiful," Wendy said, smiling. Alec and Kevin beamed in unison. "I'm going to go call everyone and tell them, you two go on in and see them," she insisted. Alec and Kevin nodded, their stomachs rising up into their chests with excitement. Wendy went out into the lobby while Alec and Kevin walked briskly and energetically down the forbidden hallway. Wendy turned and called, "She's in room C69!" Kevin nodded in gratitude.

As they ran down the hall and went deeper into the ward, they were met by Nurse Willow. Nurse Willow looked royally pissed. "I thought I told you no men in this ward!"

Kevin rolled his eyes. "She's had the ba—"

"—No men allowed at ANY time, period!" Nurse Willow shouted. Alec flipped her off uncharacteristically.

"Fuck you!" Alec and Kevin brushed past her, leaving the woman speechless. Kevin spotted room number C69 first and pointed Alec in that direction. Alec immediately opened the door.

Leslie was propped up in her bed. Her eyes were a bit bloodshot, her cheeks were pink with stress, and her hair was disheveled. But she still looked radiant, rocking the little bundle she had in her arms. She grinned at Alec and Kevin. Kevin walked around to the right side of Leslie's bed, and Alec stood to her left. Leslie loosened her grip on the bundle to reveal a small, red-faced baby with thin, light brown hair, brown eyes, and fat cheeks. The baby was fussy, but not crying.

"It was a damn long night," said Leslie. "If Wendy had never come in and coached me…I might have given up." Alec caressed Leslie's cheek with two of his fingers, while Kevin stared in awe at the baby, running his own finger across her forehead.

"It was tormenting…but worth it," Leslie said, kissing her daughter's forehead. Kevin smiled up at Alec, who in turn flashed his bleached-white smile at him briefly. "She's got my eyes," Leslie bragged. Kevin snickered.

"She is gorgeous. Good thing she looks nothing like either of us, eh Alec?" remarked Kevin.

"Wait a minute," asked Alec. "What the hell are we doing about a name for her?" Leslie looked down at her daughter and had an idea.

"It's up to you guys. You name her," Leslie asked. Alec looked at Kevin.

"How about Jennifer? Jennifer's my older sister's name. When we were kids, we'd play this game where she promised me she'd name her first son Alec if I named my first daugh—" Alec stopped himself. He was going a little over the edge calling her HIS daughter. Leslie nodded, then looked at Kevin.

"I don't really have any relatives worth naming someone after…" Kevin began.

"Come on, Kevin…" Leslie asked, lifting the baby out enough so Kevin could take her. Kevin gently took the child in his own arms and looked down at the girl. Something in his stomach stirred. It might have been just wishful thinking…but he already felt a bond with the baby…a paternal bond.

"How about Virginia…after one of my favorite writers of all time, Virginia Woolf?" Kevin suggested. "As a middle name," he offered when Alec gave him an odd look. Kevin smiled. So did Leslie.

"Jennifer Virginia Hunter. I like it a lot," Leslie agreed. Alec was ready to inquire as to why she was taking Leslie's last name, but decided it was only fair. Even now, Alec knew the baby possibly could not be his. It was a difficult thought to cope with, but he was sure Kevin was sweating about it too. Kevin held out the delicate bundle to Alec, who took it.

"Al! I've never seen you smile like that in a year!" Leslie remarked.

"She's exactly like her mom!" said Alec, who then extended a single finger and pressed it gently against the child's palm. The baby instantly wrapped her fingers around his one finger. Alec blushed.

"Excuse me," inquired a redheaded nurse whom Kevin nor Alec had seen yet. "But may I inquire as to whether a paternity test is needed? I need to know now so I can get the blood samples. I already have hers," the nurse said. Leslie looked up at Alec. Alec looked over at Kevin. Kevin looked down at Leslie.

"It's your call," said Leslie. Alec, rocking the baby in his arms, looked at Kevin and nodded. Kevin nodded back.

"Yeah. Yeah we'll do it," Alec said.

"In that case, Mr. Newbury, I'll take you down to the lab and do a standard blood draw, and then I'll come back for Mr. Dolenz," said the redheaded nurse. Kevin looked into the nurse's big blue eyes. She rose and eyebrow and smiled in return at Kevin. Kevin felt his face flush and turned away quickly. "It'll only take 15 minutes."

Alec nodded and handed the baby to Leslie again and went out with the nurse. Leslie looked up at Kevin. "I really hope that whatever the results are, it won't change any of our relationships," said Leslie.

Kevin shook his head. "It won't."

"Kevin, I know you love me. But Alec and I—"

"—let's not talk about that now," said Kevin. "We can go over that part when you get home. So…when was she born?"

"About 5:30 this morning. I blacked out for about fifteen minutes because I was so exhausted. But something about her just makes the pain go away…" said Leslie.

"I'm a guy, I can't even begin to comprehend the whole labor pain thing," said Kevin.

Leslie though back for a second. "Her name is Kelly."

"Who?"

"The redheaded nurse. Kelly Suarez. I saw her smile at you!" Leslie teased. Kevin licked his lips.

"May I request another subject change, please?" Kevin said quickly. Leslie rolled her eyes. A knock on the door silenced them, and Wendy slowly opened the door and poked her head into the room.

"Billy, Jules, and Kirbo are here," she said. Leslie grinned.

"Bring them in!" she invited. Wendy smiled and showed the others in. The four visitors filed into the room. Kirbo held a few pink balloons. Jules carried a bouquet of flowers. All Billy had in his hand was his forehead…still hung over from the night at Finnegan's Bar.

"Oh Les, honey! She's gorgeous!" Jules expressed, kissing Leslie's forehead.

"Definitely has your eyes!" said Kirbo, doing the same forehead kiss as Jules.

"Anyone have an ice pack?" asked a woozy Billy. Leslie had to laugh. "Oh, nice baby, Momma Les!" Billy said without much change in expression.

Alec stepped back into the room then, rolling down his sleeve to cover the small bandage where the blood sample had been taken from. Kevin stood up and met the redheaded nurse named Kelly in the doorway. Kevin blushed as she winked at him and went out.

"She said we'll find out the day you're released with Jennifer," Alec said.

"Jennifer?" inquired Jules.

"Kevin and Alec named her Jennifer Virginia Hunter," said Leslie. Jules pouted playfully.

"Whatever happened to Jules II?" she whined. Leslie rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, over my dead body," said Alec. Jules smiled. Alec put his arm around Leslie. "So in two days that burning question will become known…who Jennifer's father is," Alec said unsteadily.

"But for now," Leslie put her free hand over Alec's and intertwined her fingers with his. "Let's forget about fatherhood and just be a family…all of us!" Leslie asked.

"THAT I can do!" said Alec.
