"Roger, can you please sit down? I'm fine." Brenda asked smiling up at him as he fixed her pillows.
"I just want you to be comfortable Baby." he said looking down at her.
"I am Baby. Now please, sit down and relax. We could be here a while." she smiled looking up at him.
"I'm sorry Baby. I'm just really nervous." he said looking down at her before sitting next to her on the bed.
"Don't be Baby. Everything is gonna be fine. The doctor said me and the baby are doing fine. Why don't you go out and get a cup of coffee? I'm sure everyone could use an update anyway." she smiled looking over at him.
"I don't want to leave you." he said bringing his hand up to caress her cheek.
"Roger, I'm fine. Please go. You're making yourself crazy and you're starting to make me crazy too." she laughed looking up at him.
"I just want to take care of you." he said looking over at her.
"I know and you're doing a great job. But you need to take care of yourself too. Go get some air, I'll be fine. I have my ice chips and tv. Go, OK? I'm OK Baby, really." she smiled taking his hand off of her face before kissing it.
"I'll be right back, OK Baby? I'll only be gone a couple of minutes, OK?" he smiled looking down at her.
"OK. I guess if a couple of minutes is all you can stay away then I'm a lucky girl." she smiled as he leaned down to kiss her.
"I love you Bren." he smiled looking into her blue eyes.
"I love you too Roger." she smiled looking up at him before he left the room.
"How is she?" Mrs. Durlach asked looking up at him as he came down the hall.
"You know Bren. She kicked me out because I was driving her crazy." he laughed looking down at her.
"Well I know you and I can believe that." she laughed looking up at him.
"Yeah well, I love her and I don't want anything to happen to her or the baby." he said looking down at her.
"They're gonna be OK Roger. You have to believe that." Collins smiled looking down at him.
"I hope so." he said before going towards the door.
"I'm gonna go talk to him." Mr. Davis said getting up from his chair.
"Let me Mr. D. I have experience with him times like these." Collins said looking over at him as Mr. Davis smiled at him.
"OK Collins." he smiled before Collins left the hospital.
"Hey Roger. You doing OK?" he asked looking over at him.
"Yeah, I'm OK. I'm just scared." he said looking up at him.
"Did the doctor say anything? Is there something wrong with Brenda or the baby?" he asked looking over at him.
"No, the doctor said everything is fine. The baby's heartbeat is strong and Bren is doing amazing. It's just... I don't know." he said looking down at his feet as he leaned against the wall.
"You're thinking about Roger, aren't you?" he asked looking down at him.
"You aren't? Do you remember the last time we were here? It almost killed us. Literally." he siad looking up at him.
"Yeah I do, but Roger, you and Bren are still here. You're still in love, you have Rosie and you're about to have another beautiful little Davis enter the world. You can't expect the worst." he said looking over at him.
"I'm not expecting the worst. I'm just saying that I'm scared and I'm thinking about Roger. He's my son Collins. He's always gonna be on my mind, but right now, he's even more so." he said looking over at him.
"Him, Angel and Mimi are not gonna let anything happen to this little one, you know? Not after everything you and Bren have been through. They owe you." Collins smiled putting his hand on Roger's shoulder.
"Yeah, I guess so. I better get back in to Bren." he said standing up straight before taking a deep breath.
"OK Rog. Do you feel any better?" he asked looking down at him.
"Yeah I do. Thanks Collins. We've been through a lot, haven't we?" he asked looking over at him.
"Yeah we have. And thanks to Bren, it's not over yet. We have Rosie's teenage years to deal with and raising this baby. We've got our work cut out for us." he laughed looking down at him.
"Yeah, let's hope we're here long enough to enjoy it." he said quietly before going back into the hospital.
"Is he OK?" Eric asked looking over at Collins as he entered the hospital.
"Yeah, just the past sneaking up on him. He'll be OK." he said looking down at him.
"They're gonna be OK, you know? Bren, the baby and Roger." he smiled putting his arm around Collins waist.
"I know." he smiled leaning down to kiss him before joining the others in the waiting room.
"Hey Baby, how are you doing?" Roger asked entering the hospital room.
"Yeah, I'm fine. This baby is looking to get out in a hurry. My contractions are getting closer together." she smiled caressing her belly.
"I'm sorry about before Bren. I'm just..." he started looking down at her.
"Scared. Yeah, I know. So am I. Remember the last time we were here?" she asked as he sat on the bed next to her.
"Yeah, I do Baby. But everything is OK with this baby. Nothing bad is gonna happen." he said taking her face into his hands.
"God, I hope not." she said looking up at him with tears in her eyes.
"Bren, everything is perfect. This baby is gonna be born and we're gonna be in just as much trouble as we're in with Rosie, because everyone is gonna spoil the hell out of it." he laughed leaning in to kiss her.
"You're doing it again." she laughed as he wiped her tears with his thumbs.
"What am I doing Baby?" he asked smiling at her.
"Making me believe everything is gonna be OK." she smiled looking into his green eyes.
"Well, I happen to know everything is gonna be OK. You'll see Baby. Roger, Angel and Mimi are not gonna let anything happen to this baby. You have to believe that." he said caressing her hair.
"I do Roger. I do believe it. I have to." she smiled looking up at him as she got another contraction.
"Are you OK Baby?" he asked as she held her belly.
"Um yeah. Just another contraction." she said looking up at him as he caressed her face.
"I love you Bren. I love you so much." he smiled looking down at her.
"I love you too Roger." she said looking up at him waiting for the contraction to subside.
