A big thank you goes out to Ainat and ChainGangShorty54 for the reviews. I really appreciate them!

"Shannon, is the baby really ok?" Tori asked through tears.

"Yeah. The nurse is cleaning him up now and then we get to see him. Babe, I am so proud of you," he said as he kissed her forehead and then her lips.

Tori only smiled as Dr. Hope finished stitching her up, and then watched as the nurse brought over the baby, first handing him to Shannon.

Once Shannon took that baby in his arms, he could feel tears start to form in his eyes and then sat down next to Tori, who couldn't sit up just yet because of the stitches.

"Hi big guy," Shannon said happily, then looking at Tori. "We are your mommy and daddy."

"He is so beautiful," Tori said. "Shan, he looks exactly like you."

Shannon looked back down at his sleeping son, and smiled as he knew that Tori was right. There was no denying this baby was his: the baby had his nose, lips and eyes. He was a minature Shannon.

"Shannon, we need to think of a name for this beautiful baby of ours!"

"Yeah I guess we do. You know what name I like the best?"

"What Shannon?"

"Jackson. I know its your maiden name, but..."

"Actually, that is perfect. How about Jackson Brian Moore? He'll have my maiden name and your middle name."

"I like it. It suits him well."

The nurse soon took Jackson to the nursery, where they would perform a few more tests just to make there wasn't any permanent damage from having the cord wrapped around his neck. They then carefully helped Tori into a wheel chair and brought her into her room, where they let her get some rest.

"Tori, you get some rest. I'm going to go see if Matt is here with our bags.

"Ok. I love you."

"I love you too," he said bending down to kiss her.

Shannon then went down to the lobby and was met by Matt and Angela. "So, how did everything go?" Matt asked.

"Everything went awesome. We have a 7lb and 4oz boy, and we named him Jackson Brian Moore," the new dad said as the smile on his face never left.

"Can we see them?" Angela asked.

"Well, Tori is resting as we speak. Jackson is in the nursery. They are doing a few tests, just to make sure there isn't any damage from the cord being around his neck."

"I have an idea," Matt said. "How about Angela and I grab some dinner with everyone and we all come back up later on to visit. Will you guys be up for it then?"

"I'm sure we will. Tor was already asking when you guys were coming up."

"Then its settled. We will be up after dinner."

"Alright I will tell her. Thanks again for bringing these up," Shannon said as he hugged one of his best friends and cousin.

A few hours later, baby Jackson was back with his parents and everyone was up at the hospital visiting with Shannon, Tori and Jackson.

"Its amazing how much Jackson looks like Shannon!" Beth beamed.

"Poor, poor baby!" Jeff teased.

"He's so cute!" Angela said excitedly as she handed the baby to Matt.

"You are a lucky guy, did you know that?" he asked Jackson as the baby made a noise, almost like a response. He then turned his attention to Shannon and Tori. "Its awesome there is no damage, especially after the cord was wrapped around his neck."

"Yeah, we are very fortunate," Shannon said as he looked down at Tori, both exchanging smiles.

About another half hour later, the group of friends left the hospital, and Shannon and Tori were left alone. Tori eventually fell asleep, while Shannon started rocking in the chair with Jackson.

"Hush little baby, don't say a word. Ma-I'm mean daddy is going to buy you a Mockingbird. If that mockingbird doesn't sing, than daddy is going to buy you a diamond ring," he started singing as he adjusted the blanket keeping his son warm. "Jackson, I'm going to try and be the best daddy I can. You are a lucky guy-you have a great mom."

Tori's eyes fluttered open and smiled as she watched her husband rock with their son. She listened for a moment longer, and not wanting to interrupt his talk with Jackson, Tori closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
