As Ted sat down in Carly's room, he felt like he had been going around in circles for the past couple of hours, and now that he was sitting down, he just wanted to get some rest on the couch. But, he knew that was out of the question.

As soon as Alex was born, he was immediately rushed to the Neo-natal ICU to try and give him more oxygen and warmed up, and as Ted watched Carly be brought back into the room, he felt tears roll down his cheeks. His dad was sitting right next to him, and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "How are you doing son?"

Ted smirked as he glanced at his dad. "I would love to tell you I'm ok, and would rather be sitting next to Carly with the baby in our arms. I just can't believe this is happening."

"Everything is going to be ok. Dr. Rodgers already told you that the reason Carly passed out is because her blood pressure was through the roof," Ted Sr. said as he noticed Carly starting to stir. "Listen, I'm going to wait on everyone with your mom. You need to be here for Carly."

Ted only nodded as he also stood up, and before walking over to the bed, gave his dad a hug. Ted Sr. then left the room, and Ted pulled up a chair close to Carly's bed, and took her hand into his. As he squeezed it gently, he noticed her eyes flutter open.

"Hey," he said, trying not to break down again. He knew he had to be strong for the both of them.

Carly smiled as she grabbed her head in pain. "Ugh. What happened?"

"You passed out because your blood pressure was through the roof, but your going to be ok."

Carly's eyes then grew wide. "Ted...what happened to Alex?"

Ted then laughed nervously as he lowered his eyes to the ground. "Ted, please tell me," Carly begged. "What happened?"

"He was born at 2:44 pm, like 45 minutes ago. When they got him out, his color was a dangerous blue, obviously from not having enough oxygen and body temperature."

"Oh no...."

"Hey, hey calm down," Ted said rubbing the top of her hand. "He was brought to the Neo-natal ICU, and his little bassinet is filled with oxygen. They are also going to have warming lamps by his bassinet to help warm him up."

"So, will he be ok?" Carly asked hopeful.

"Dr. Rodgers said the next few days will be cruical. So, we'll just have to wait and see.

Carly then buried her head in her hands, and began to sob once more. Ted then gently sat on the bed, and took her into his arms before kissing her on the scalp. "Everything is going to work out...I promise."

"Is it something I did? Could I have done something different?" Carly asked.

Ted just shook his head. "No you did nothing wrong. Unfortuantely, this happened to us, and we just have to hope that he's going to be ok."

Carly nodded as they both heard a knock on the door. "Carly," Jan said peaking her head through the door. "Your mom and step-dad are here. Do you want me to send them in?"

"Yes, thank you," Carly replied. Ted then turned his attention back to Carly. "Listen, why don't you talk with your mom and Jeff, and I'll give you guys some privacy."

"You don't have to."

"I know, but I need to get some air and get a soda or something. I'll be back soon," he replied as he stood up. Ted quickly kissed Carly and then walked out of the room.

As Ted walked into the waiting room, he noticed his parents were still there, now along with his brothers. "Did Ric get called?" Ted asked quietly.

"Yes he has, but just hasn't made it here yet. How is Carly?" Jan asked.

"Doing as best as she can. She thinks its all her fault."

"I hope you told her differently," Mike said.

"Of course I did jackass!" Ted spat.

Brett and Ted Sr. then stood up and literally pushed Ted to the door. "Come on Ted, lets go get some air."

All three men were quiet as they walked outside and sat on some benches. Ted once again buried his head in his hands, and couldn't help but break down. "It sounds like you needed this," Ted's dad said.

Ted only nodded. "This shouldn't be happening right now. Alex should be in Carly's room and close to us, and being passed around like a hot potato between our families. Instead, he's in ICU fighting for his life."

"Unfortuantely, there isn't an answer as to why this happened," Brett said. "But the best thing to do now is be there for your wife and son. They are the ones who need you the most."

"I know," Ted said, rubbing his hands over his face. "I shouldn't have blew up at Mike like that. When we go back inside, I'll make sure to apologize."

"I think he understands considering the circumstances, but that's a good idea," Ted Sr. said as Jan also came outside.

"Ted, Dr. Rodgers is looking for you."

Ted instantly stood up, and walked past his mom and saw the doctor standing in the hallway. "Dr. Rodgers is something wrong?"

"No there isn't. I just wanted to ask if you wanted to see your son."

Ted just smiled and nodded as he followed Dr. Rodgers into a small room. "His body temperature has gone up dramatically, but I still want to keep him on the oxygen. If you put on scrubs, you can go inside the room and hold him."

"Yes, I would love to," he said as he began to put on the scrubs Dr. Rodgers gave him. "Has Carly been able to see him?"

"Not yet, mainly because Alex has to stay in this room and I don't want to move Carly to much due to her stitches."

Ted nodded as he was able to walk into the cold room. "Why is it so cold in here?"

"It's because of the oxygen. Now if you want to take a seat, I will hand you your son."

Ted did as he was asked, and within moments, Dr. Rodgers was handing him his son. "You take as much time as you want. There is a button on the side of the chair, and whenever your ready to have help getting him back into the bassinet, just push it, and someone will come in.

"Alright thank you," Ted replied, his eyes never leaving Alex. Once he heard the door close, he smirked and lightly stroked Alex's cheek. "Hi big guy, I'm your dad. Your mom and I love you so much, and we want you to stick around. You know, you and I now share a birthday. November 8th is a good day," Ted said smiling. He then looked up, and noticed his parents, brothers and Ric standing by the glass window. He carefully stood up, and walked toward the window, proudly displaying his son.

Another half hour later, Ted reluctantly pushed the button. Dr. Rodgers helped him put Alex back in the bassinet, but not before he carefully placing a kiss on his head. "Don't worry big guy, I'll be back. Maybe next time, I'll be able to bring your mom with me."

After talking with his family for a few minutes, Ted walked back into Carly's room. She noticed the smile on his face when he walked in. "What's going on?" she asked.

"Alex is doing great. His body temperature has gone up dramatically, but Dr. Rodgers still wants to keep him on oxygen for a little bit longer. I even got to hold him just now."

"You did?" Carly asked through tears.

"Yeah. I asked if you had seen him, but you can't be moved because of your stitches and he can't be moved from the one room. I got to hold him for like a half hour or so, and he is so beautiful. He is absolutely perfect."
