Season Finale (:
Time was prolonging. Mike had been by Tom's side since the condition with the two went bad but Tom was in no condition to run a ship. Mike took him into consideration. 'Which he had been doing a lot lately' he thought to himself. He stood from the chair that they both had claimed these past few hours and he patted his left shoulder.
"I'll take care of the ship you worry about Nathan and Rachel" Mike smiled and turned his heels and left Tom alone.
Everything was so quiet now. He could now sit here and wallow in his thoughts. He thought back of when he first saw her belly form he had automatically assumed it was Mike's because he was glued to her. But it was only because she needed a support system, something he didn't get to do. Instead he thought about all the bad things he had done. Like not knowing he got her pregnant for one thing.
He slapped his face and slid his hand down. 'I'm hopeless.'
Quincy opened up the door which caused Chandler to jump to his feet. He was about to say something and Quincy held up a hand to stop him.
"They are fine." The doctor smiled "Rachel had a panic attack and your son was pulling a fast one on us, but they are in perfect condition now. Nathan has your eyes and personality. Cute Kid. Now I'm finally going to go get some rest. Try not to let anyone disturb them."
With that the doctor and nurses had left leaving Tom by himself. His palms were getting sweaty and he grew back his courage and slowly made his way into the room that held his family. He walked in and saw Rachel asleep with Nathan on her chest. The baby's hair fluffed up which reminded Tom of those troll dolls. He could see his chest going up and down indicating that the baby was indeed in perfect condition.
"You can hold him you know."
Tom stopped looking into at his son and stared into a pair of brown eyes.
"Are you sure?"
"He's your son too."
'My Son'
She shifted her body so she could hand Nathan over to Tom. Tom was a little hesitant because the last time he had a child this tiny was many years ago. As Nathan was placed into his arms Tom's whole world became complete. Staring down at Nathan reminded him of the other two when they were this tiny. Tom saw wet drops on Nathan's onsie. He barely noticed he was crying. He couldn't help it. The woman he loved gave him another great blessing. Tom pulled Nathan closer to his chest, almost like he would be taken away if he loosened his hold.
He felt a small hand wipe away the tears that kept falling.
"Everything is okay Tom. The Nathan James is in great condition and Nathan is perfectly healthy. I am sorry for the scare we had given you." She said sweetly.
Tom felt his heart skip a beat. Everything felt lifted off his shoulders. He smiled warmly and the brunette and sat next to her on the little bed with Nathan in his arms. This is what was meant for him.
A knock broke the two out of their thoughts as Tom's other kid came in with Mike right behind smiling.
"They begged me and I couldn't say no. It's not every day we get new siblings now is it haha." Mike said as he rubbed his head.
Rachel stared at the man and mouth 'Thank you.'
Everything felt right to him. The family was together and he felt prouder than ever.
"Well since I pretty much took care of this. Please tell me I get to be godfather."
Tom stood from the bed with the baby in hand and took a few steps to Mike. He handed the baby to Mike. Mike curled his arm as the baby was placed in it.
"How about the uncle title? You've been my brother through the Navy and you've been there through every situation. You are family." Tom smiled.
Mike smiled brightly. "That'll be wonderful thank you."
"But you'll still be godfather" Rachel added in which caused everyone in the room to laugh.
"Can we hold him next please!?" Sam and Ashley asked in Unison.
"Of Course!" Mike said as he sat down on the bed with the kids and Rachel.
"Yes everything is perfect." Tom whispered to himself.
"Thank You….."
