CHAPTER SIX
One month later, Sara was enjoying her new job. She had been professor assistant for two weeks now, and everyone loved her already. She treated her students as friends, not a teacher/student relationship. She also, quickly, made friends with all the professors she met. Everybody treated her with great respect. Welcomed her with open arms. Made her feel that she was one of them.
At the same time, Sara was also working on her PhD degree. She was a professor assistant in the mornings, and a student in the evenings. She was working very hard to get the professor position that was waiting for her whenever she graduated. That would take a year and a half of hard work. But Sara was determined to get that PhD degree. She wanted to make sure she could support her baby by her own as a single mother, without any help from anybody, no matter how close the team was to her.

Two months later, Gil and Charlotte got married. The news devastated Sara completely. She spent countless nights crying herself to sleep. What little hope she had for Gil leaving Charlotte was, now, crashed to unfixable pieces. She had lost the love of her life to someone too low. Someone like Charlotte. She never stopped loving Gil, even after all the agony and suffering he put her through, her love for him never withered. And what scared her the most was that she knew she could not move on with her life after Gil. He took her heart and never gave it back. Her heart was still in Gil's possession. No other man would be able to have it.

Three months later, Sara had a baby boy in her arms. Her baby boy. Hers and Gil's. She just delivered her son. Jim and Catherine were with her through the entire delivery. They each held a hand of Sara's while she gave birth, encouraging her that she was doing a great job.
The whole team, now, gathered around Sara's hospital bed, adoring the little one. He was an exact replica of his father. He had the same deep blue eyes as Gil, the ones that stole her heart immediately. A bunch of brown, curly hair covered his tiny head. Even his mouth and nose were Gil's. The entire little creature was a tiny version of Gil.
After an hour, the team, except Brass, went to their shifts. Brass and Sara were left alone in the hospital room.
"May I hold my grandson?" Jim asked Sara for permission.
"Of course. You don't need permission for that." she smiled at Jim, placing her son in his arms very carefully.
When the baby was safely in Jim's arms, he asked. "Have you picked out a name for him, yet?"
Sara nodded.
"What would it be?" he asked her curiously.
"James." she looked at Jim with a smile on her face.
"You're naming him after me?" he asked, happy tears filled his eyes.
"I lived most of my life without a father, he died when I was twelve years old, but then God made it up to me by giving me one much more kind and loving. You, Jim. You are the father that I am and always will be proud of." she explained, tears running down her cheeks.
The tears that filled Jim's eyes, earlier, covered his face now. He leaned down and kissed Sara's forehead as a father would do. "And I would never be more proud of you to be my daughter." he, then, looked at the little baby, who was still in his arms, speaking to him. "If you're named after me, then you will make sure to have me wrapped around your little finger, won't you?"
Jim junior smiled at him.
Brass looked at Sara with a grin on his face. "See, he just smiled at me. He already loves me."
Sara chuckled at Brass' choice of words.
