At the hospital, Erin was admitted immediately. Ian stayed with her the whole time, when finally a doctor came in, saying it was time. Erin held Ian's hand tight and he smiled at her.

"Ian, I love you so much."

"I love you too." the doctor smiled and told Erin quickly, "alright, next one its time...."

"OK." she replied. Ian held her shoulders firmly and rested his head on hers and she sighed against him before the contraction hit and she began pushing. Deep down, Ian was ready to run to the bathroom...he hated seeing Erin in pain, he hated the idea of what was happening and he hated the idea of blood.....but he knew he had to be there for her and that soon, they would have a son.

"Ian..i can't do it." she panted, gripping his red hand tighter as they again pushed.

"Erin, just don't think, just push ok? We're gonna have a son soon."

"Ian, I can't please..it hurts." she replied, still trying to focus on pushing.

"I know, but we're gonna do it....your doing great,...i love you."

"I HATE YOU!" she yelled back. Ian looked about to cry but he held her tight and the nurse smiled at him.

"she doesn't mean it." she mouthed and Ian nodded.

"C'mon Erin."

"One more." the doctor added quickly, so as to encourage her more. She nodded delving her finger nails in Ian's palm and once again pushing. Moments later, they heard a cry. Erin threw her head back in relief and the doctor cleaned off the baby quickly, handing him to Erin. She had tears rolling down her cheeks and Ian did too.

"Look he's so beautiful Ian......look at what we did."

"Yeah...he's perfect." Ian replied, sitting on the side of the bed. Erin gave the baby her finger and he involuntarily squeezed it tight. She smiled and looked up at Ian.

"So...still name his after you?"

"If you want, Pip...i like it."

"Me too."

"I already love him." Ian said quietly, rubbing the side of Erin's leg.

"Me too....its so amazing Ian...this its what's been inside me for these past six months. He's what we've been waiting for."

"It is amazing...Erin...I'm glad we have this baby.......I'm so sorry for what my first reaction was."

"Ian, that's long gone...don't worry about any of that....all we have to worry about now is our son."

"Erin...it amazes me how I can still love you as much as I did when I first asked you out."

"I tell myself the same thing all the time, Zip...but can you tell me something?" Ian looked at her.

"Anything, what is it?"

"Zip, why were you so scared for the baby in the first place? Why were you worried about having him?" Ian took in a deep breath, he wasn't sure if this would sound selfish...and horrible against his son...because he did love Ian already...

"Because...i was scared, I would never be able to love him as much as i love you."

"Ian stop it."

"I'm being totally serious......your still the one that's first...but I can tell you...i feel very different than when I first thought about the baby.....i do love him just as much."

"Ian...."

"Yeah?"

"That's why I was scared too."
