Christine woke up the next day and saw that Luke wasn't in bed. She had gone to the room to check on Kristen to see if she was still sleeping.
"Mommy?" Kristen said as Christine was leaving.
"Yes sweetie?" Christine said going back to her room.
"Is daddy ok?"
"Daddy's fine, why do you ask?"
"I just saw him crying last night. I never saw him crying before."
"Don't worry, daddy's fine. Look, why don't you go back to sleep and I'll go make some pancakes and then come get you. Would you like that?"
Kristen smiled and hugged Christine. "I love you mommy."
"Love you too baby."
Christine went down to the kitchen and saw Luke getting some breakfast. "Luke I'm gonna make some pancakes if you want those instead," she said.
Luke shook his head and grabbed his plate and sat at the table.
Christine sighed and went to making the pancakes. "Luke I know you're upset but will you at least talk to me."
"I don't have anything to say," Luke said.
Christine turned and looked at Luke, "Luke all I want is to talk to you and you're hiding everything inside. Don't you think I'm upset as well? What do you not think I care about what's going on because you know very well that I love Kristen as my own!"
"I know you do."
"Alright fine Luke, you don't wanna talk to me then don't. I'm just sick of trying to get you to speak when obviously you don't!" Christine put the breakfast on the table and was about to go get Kristen when she started to feel the pains. Luke looked over and saw her holding her stomach.
"Christine?" Luke said getting up going over to her.
"Luke it's time," she said trying to catch her breath.
Luke nodded, "Alright…sit down for a second." Luke said calling Bo up to come over and watch Kristen.
Bo came over in no time. "Just give me a call and let me know what's going on," Bo called out to Luke as they left.

Luke came back into the room after getting off the phone with Bo. "He's on his way with Kristen," Luke said going over to Christine who was holding their new son, Joshua Lukas Duke.
Christine smiled at Luke, "You know your son does look a lot like you."
"You're just saying that," Luke blushed. "Plus how can you tell already?"
"Luke look at him, he does look just like." Christine smiled.
Luke smiled and took Joshua into his arms. "You know it is amazing seeing your baby being born. I missed that when Kristen was born because by the time I got to the hospital, she was already born so they could save her."
Christine looked at Luke, "Luke you alright?"
"Yea," Luke said giving a small smile. "Just…two years ago if you had asked me, I never would've thought I'd ever be this happy again."
"Knock, knock…mind any visitors?" Bo said coming into the room.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Kristen said coming into the room.
"Hey come meet Joshua, the newest Duke," Luke said.
The doctor soon came into the room. "Alright I think it's time for both mommy and baby to get some rest. You can go see him in the nursery," she said going to take Joshua.
"Baby I'll be outside talking to Bo," Luke said kissing Christine before walking out of the room with Bo and Kristen.
