CHAPTER 10

Three hours later Matt and Vince entered Chris' hospital room. After giving his wife a kiss, he shook hands with Murray. "Congratulations, bud."

"Thanks." Murray was positively beaming as was his wife. "Chris and I wanted to ask you and CJ for a favor."

"Oh?" The PI stood with his arm around his wife.

Chris smiled at the pair. "We wondered if you would be Lilly's Godparents."

CJ smiled up at her husband and they both nodded. "We'd be honored."

"Come here, Uncle Matt..." Chris called her boss over and handed over the newborn.

"She's a beauty." He smiled down at the peacefully sleeping little girl. "Good thing she looks like her mama." Everyone laughed causing the infant to wake up and begin crying. "Hey now...don't be doing that." Matt spoke softly to her and began gently bouncing her. "You start crying and the next thing you know you'll have a snotty nose." The baby got quiet as her mom and dad giggled.

Murray spoke up. "It won't be long before you'll be having to get up and do the middle of the night feedings again."

"That's okay – it's worth it." CJ reached over and caressed the baby's cheek.

"Every bit of it." Matt kissed her cheek.
