The NICU nurses are used to Dr Hunt quietly slipping in and observing Diego, the Safe Haven baby. At first, they barely notice as he strides into the nursery, heading straight for the isolette. The two nurses on duty raise their eyebrows to see Dr Hunt be bolder, as he reaches into the isolette and cradles the boy in his arms.
Diego grins toothlessly as he looks up at Owen.
Owen sits down. "I have some big news for you," he tells the boy. "You know me as Dr Hunt and you know my wife as Dr Yang. She's the one who is going to close the holes in your heart, soon."
He smiles tenderly. "And then after your surgery … we're going to ask the state if we can adopt you. We want you to join our family. We have two little girls already, they'll be great sisters for you. I'll bring them in tonight so you can meet them."
Owen pulls the boy closer,. "So hopefully, when you're older ... you'll call me Dad."
