DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inception.

Some of these are not in chronological order (in order in which they happen) so it may skip back and forth the timeline, such as this one. Just a heads up! Enjoy!

Arthur stared down at the tiny baby girl in his hands. He felt a wave of emotions run through him. Fear, excitement, happiness, disbelief. But one thing he was sure he felt was absolute love. He couldn't help but smile at this tiny person in his hands, just staring back up at him. He walked back and forth down the hospital hallway, where there was an array of nurses, mom's, babies…but the only thing he could focus on was his new daughter. That was the only thing in the entire world that seemed to matter at this point. He reached his hand out and placed a finger on Samantha's cheek, who blinked at the strange man who was holding her.

Arthur smile. "Hi." He cradled the baby tighter in his arms, not daring himself to drop her. She was too precious, too tiny, too important to him now. He watched in fascination as Samantha reach her hand up and clasped her hand around one of his fingers.

It was the first time he would ever admit it, but Arthur was scared. Terrified in fact. He knew he needed to provide everything for his daughter. He needed to be there for her, help her, protect her…he just didn't know whether he could. He was a point man. He just didn't know whether he was a father.

"Let's hope she doesn't get your personality."

Arthur looked up and smiled. "Hi guys."

Cobb, Eames and Yusuf (clearly out of their comfort zone) stood around Arthur, staring down at the tiny person in his arms. Cobb smiled.

He pointed behind him. "Sorry, but these two insisted I bring them along."

Eames lightly shoved his arm. "Hey, she needed to meet her Uncles."

Cobb glanced at the baby. "Congrats, Arthur. She's beautiful."

More than beautiful, Arthur thought. "Thank you Cobb," he said, smiling. He turned to Eames. "Impressed?"

Eames smiled down at the Point Man. "Arthur, this is the only time in your life you will ever hear me say this, but…well done."

"Thanks, Eames."

Eames shrugged. "No problem. What's her name?"

"Samantha," Arthur beamed proudly.

"She's so…small," Yusuf grinned. "She looks like Ariadne for sure."

Arthur nodded. "She does."

Eames looked up. "Speaking of which, where is our beloved Architect?"

"She's down there, in her room. She might be awake now if you want to see her."

Eames hurried down the hallway as Cobb looked at Yusuf. "Can you make sure he doesn't-"

"On it," Yusuf said, trudging after Eames. Cobb sat down on a seat, soon followed by Arthur, still clutching onto his new child for dear life.

Cobb grinned. "Arthur, you seem really happy."

Arthur looked up at him, in equal happiness. "I am. I think this is the first time in my life where I'm really just…here. You know?"

Cobb nodded. "I'm so happy for you, Arthur. You really deserve this."

Arthur blinked as Samantha made a small sound. It was the sweetest thing he had ever heard. That kind of sound could erase all the gunshots and explosions in his memory. He furrowed his brow and looked at Cobb. "Cobb…I'm scared."

Cobb frowned. "About what?"

Arthur sighed. "What if 'm not good enough for her? What if she hates me? I'm a point man, I have no experience whatsoever in how to raise a child."

Cobb smile softly. "Arthur, what is a point man's job?"

Confusion ran over the younger man's face. "Um…make sure everything is in place, according to plan. Do the research and make sure we know-"

Cobb rolled his eyes. "Yes, but, what did I say to you during your training?"

"You said…" Arthur looked at the ground. "Watch out for the team. Make sure to back them, and always support and protect them."

"Arthur, you just described what it's like being a father," Cobb grinned. "You're the perfect point man, and I have no doubt that you'll be the best possible father." Cobb patted Arthur on the back lightly. "Besides, you're not alone at all. You have Ariadne, Eames, Yusuf, and the proud godfather," he said, pointing to himself. "Trust me."

Arthur smiled. "Cobb…thanks. "

Cobb stood up. "No problem. Anyway, I'm gonna go find Eames and Yusuf."

After he left, Arthur returned his gaze down to his new born daughter. He didn't know how to be a father, but hey, you don't learn things if you don't try.
