"A gift for the new child!" Todd announced happily as he set foot in the gate room. The second Hive was under his command and had destroyed the enemy Hive before it could fire a shot on Atlantis. "Please, no need to thank me." He was really full of himself.
John went to meet the Wraith since Edward was otherwise occupied. "You could have killed us all, you do know that right?"
"I did this in honor of the bridging of our two races."
"Regardless, that was reckless."
"But it worked."
Admittedly, Sheppard was stumped. Todd had saved all their ass and he wasn't asking for anything in return. Odd, for Todd. "What's the catch?"
"No catch."
"Nothing?"
"I give you my word. I only wish to ensure the safety of the child."
"Fine, we'll get back to this later. Right now I have to make sure Eddie doesn't pass out."
Todd nodded and allowed John to head back to the infirmary to join the large group of people waiting for the little bundle of joy.
After pushing his way through the throng of people waiting outside the infirmary doors, John was greeted by Jen in scrubs.
"Put these on." She threw some scrubs at him.
"Why?'
"You have to help Edward." She ran back to the bed where Jesse was ready to push and Edward stood at her side looking completely lost. "John!" Jen pulled him out of his daze.
"Ok, ok." He went to stand by Edward and placed his hand on his shoulder once again. "Just hold her hand and don't say anything stupid."
"Who was piloting the other Hive?" Edward asked without taking his eyes off Jesse.
"Todd, with a gift for Jesse and the baby."
Edward nodded.
"Ahhhhh!" Jesse gritted her teeth.
"You gotta push." Jen told Jesse firmly. "When the contractions hit you have to push through them."
"Grrrr. Ahhh!" Jesse pushed as John and Edward watched, helpless.
This was it. Everything was going to change in the next few moments. Edward, a Wraith, and Jesse's lover was going to be a father. Jesse, the psychic, and Edwards former captive was going to be a mother. All the fighting and strife's with the Wraith were about to take on a whole new meaning. A hybrid child was coming into the world. They had dealt with hybrids in the past but they had been manufactured. This baby, Jamie, she was made out of love. A Wraith and a human had broken the barriers that had been up between their two races. Jamie was the future, their future.
A cry broke the silence of the room and Jesse began to sob. If Edward could cry he would have. This was a moment he never would have dreamed of until now. A human, his Jesse had given him a gift. "Our Jamie." He breathed as Jen laid the screaming infant in Jesse's arms.
"She's perfect." Jesse looked up at Edward. "She's ours."
Edward nodded. His family was perfect. Finally, for he first time in his long life, he felt complete.
