I sat with Jackie till she fell asleep and they took the baby to the nursery. It felt strange walking back out to the waiting room. Everyone sitting in that room meant something to us. I just took the time to look at each one of them before Donna stood up and said "So?"
"Who wants to see my little girl?" I asked them. Smiles overcame the room. I didn't have time to react before Mrs. Forman came up and hugged me. She was still on the clock and was probably just checking in real quick.
"I am a grandma." She squealed as she led us down the hall to the large window that looked into the nursery. "Oh there she is." Mrs. Forman said as she looked at the little baby right in the front row.
"Where?" Donna asked as she pushed me out of the way. "Oh she is beautiful." Donna said softly.
"She is so small." Fez said.
"She looks too much like Steven." Pam complained.
"Didn't I tell you to leave?" I asked her.
"I am her mother." Pam said.
"In one sense of the word." I said as I looked at her. "But, in all the ways it counts you aren't." I said as I looked at her. "If Jackie wants you she will call." I said.
"Fine, I will go." Pam said as she stormed away.
"You did the right thing." Red said as he stood next to me looking in at the baby. It felt like we stood there forever before a nurse came out.
"Kitty what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I am looking at my granddaughter." Kitty said with a smile.
"You want to hold her?" She asked.
"Can I?" Kitty asked.
"Come on. Red you too." The nurse said as she held the nursery door open. I watched as they placed the baby in her arms. She lit up like a Christmas tree.
"So, that is the devil child?" Eric asked as Kitty held the baby up almost against the glass. "She is cuter that I thought." He said as he looked in the window.
"How does it feel?" Donna asked me.
"I am a dad." I said as I looked at her.
"That you are." She said with a smile.
"It's perfect." I said as I looked back at the baby.
