"IT'S A GIRL" he yelled as he walked into the waiting room. He saw many familiar faces sitting and waiting impatiently. Will was pacing the floor, his mother was saying a silent prayer while Henry was running into the room to make the announcement. As soon as they saw him they stood up and met him along the way, bombarding him with so many questions he could not understand what anyone was saying.

"Elizabeth is well, tired but well. She did amazing. Our baby girl is 6 pounds, 2 ounces and has some strong lungs already. Everyone is good" he said, while breathing a sigh of relief. His mother grabbed him in a hug and gave him a kiss, "I'm so happy for you! Now you better get back in there, you'll let us know when she's ready for visitors, we'll be here waiting." He gave Will and his father solid handshakes while they shared congratulations before he made his way back to the room with his girls. That thought was a lot for him to process right now, his girls. Wow.

Henry walked back into the hospital room and Elizabeth was sitting up in bed holding her baby girl, telling her some stories, completely in her own little world. Henry stood at the door and listened for a few minutes before Elizabeth noticed him there.

"baby girl, you are so lucky to have your daddy. Before you were even here you had him wrapped around your little finger and just know that he would do anything for you. He's the greatest man I've ever know and we're so lucky to have him" she whispered to her new born daughter as she gave her a kiss.

Henry couldn't believe the sight that was in front of him, he was mesmerized. The vision of his gorgeous wife and his beautiful new born daughter was a lot to take in but hearing Elizabeth talk to her about how lucky they were, was what brought him over the edge. As he walked over to Elizabeth, tears in his eyes, voice cracking and he spoke, "I'm the lucky one babe, I couldn't ask for anything more perfect than this" he told her as he got into bed with his girls, wrapping one arm around his wife and the other holding his baby girls hand. He knew it was a reflex but the first time his baby girl held his finger, he knew he was done for, she had his heart. With tears streaming down his cheeks, he tucked his face in the crook of Elizabeth's neck, "thank you baby. You did so good." She leaned in and gave him a soft kiss, "we did good babe".

They enjoyed their first moments as a family of three before they were interrupted by the doctor. "How's the new family doing?" she said while slowly walking in the room, Henry and Elizabeth barely noticing as they were enamored with their baby girl. "How is mom feeling?" she asked. She was tired, well really, tired didn't even begin to explain how she was feeling. "I'm OK" she told the doctor, "is she alright?" she questioned. "As far as I can tell she's perfectly healthy but we still have a few tests to run and we need to make sure you're doing alright as well. Can I have her for a few minutes?", she must have recognized the look on Elizabeth's face, she wasn't ready to let her precious baby girl go easily. "It won't be long, I promise" she told them confidently. After a few tests on the baby, everything being normal, the doctor returned. "Maybe dad can hold her while I check you out?" Henry didn't hesitate, he took his baby girl in his arms and held her close. Elizabeth couldn't look away, she always thought her husband was sexy, but there he was holding their baby girl, fatherhood really suits him well, god he's hot, she thought to herself.

After a few minor tests on Elizabeth, the doctor suggested she try feeding her daughter, she was surprised that it came relatively easily, her baby girl latching without issue. Henry was a little awkward about the situation, he wasn't sure if he should look away and let her do what she was doing or if he should be there supporting her. "Henry, look, she's already a genius!" she excitedly told him. All he could do was laugh at her comment, he already knew is daughter was a genius, if she was anything like her mother, she would be a smart little girl.

After finishing her first feeding, all Elizabeth wanted was to get some sleep but she knew she had some impatient family members waiting to meet her daughter. Henry went to join them in the waiting room but he didn't know how to break it to them that he only wanted a few people in the room at a time, he knew Elizabeth was exhausted and was only trying to please everyone, if they had it their way, they'd be getting some rest right now. He knew his mother would want to be first to meet her grand-daughter but for his wife's sake, he wanted Will to meet his niece, his god daughter, he knew it would mean a lot to Elizabeth.

As he walked in, everyone turned to his attention. "How is she… they?" Will inquired. "Amazing" he smiled back, "they're amazing". Before Henry could say anything, his mother pushed Will ahead and told him to go meet his niece. Henry couldn't believe what he witnessed, "Elizabeth needs her family there, go ahead son" as she shooed the boys away, not wanting to leave her daughter-in-law alone too long, "Will first, but I'm meeting her next" she told them as they were walking away.

As the boys walked over to Elizabeth's room, Henry told Will to go ahead without him, waiting to give the Adams a few minutes of family time.

As Will walked in, tears flowed, he couldn't believe his sister had just had a baby. "Lizzie, she's beautiful. She looks just like mom, don't you think" as he gave his sister and his niece a kiss on the head.

Elizabeth was in tears as soon as she saw Will walk in, she knew that had to be Henry's doing, and he left them some privacy. She shed tears of joy and tears of sorrow. So happy her brother was able to meet his niece but incredibly sad that her parents weren't there to witness it.

"Mom and dad would be so proud… so proud Lizzie" as more tears fell. "Can I hold her?"

Elizabeth couldn't bring herself to stop crying, "I'm sorry, I'm so emotional and I can't make it stop".

"Lizzie, you just had a baby, you're allowed to be emotional, it's an emotional time", trying to comfort her.

A few minutes went by and all he could do was stare at the new baby.

"Will?"

"Yeah, Lizzie?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Anything! What's wrong?", he was concerned.

"Nothing's wrong, well nothing that can be fixed…"

He knew what she meant and his heart broke that there was nothing he could do. It would be so much easier if their parents were still here.

"I wanted to know, well Henry and I wanted to know if you would be her God Father?"

"Lizzie, are you serious!?" he was so excited as his face lit up at her question. "Of course, I would be honored to be her God Father." He looked at the new born baby and whispered to her, "did you hear that? I'm your god father baby girl".

Henry decided that he had been away from his new family long enough and lightly knocked at the door, slowly making his way inside.

"Come in babe, it's OK" as tears streamed down her face.

Henry's heart broke, he knew it would be hard for her without her parents but it didn't make it easier when dealing with it. As he walked over to his wife, he noticed the tear stains on his brother-in-law's face, "so she asked you, did she?"

Will just nodded as he stared down at his god daughter. "I'm so happy for you too, you made a beautiful baby. Does she have a name yet?" he dared ask.

"No, not yet, we had a few names picked out and thought when we saw her we'd know but none of the names we had fit" Elizabeth explained, still emotional about the ordeal.

"That's alright, you still have time to decide. Take your time, I was just wondering what to call my niece.. umm.. god daughter" he corrected himself. "Anyway, there are a few other people waiting to meet her so I guess I'll give them their turn. I love you Lizzie, and you too beautiful" as he turned his attention to his niece before handing her back to her mother. "Congrats man, she's beautiful" he said as he shook Henry's hand, "take good care of them" he warned.

"I will. I'll make you that promise" he told him a matter of factly.

As Will walked down the hallway, Henry's mother saw him coming and she knew that was her queue, she and Patrick met Will down the corridor.

"Are they ready for more visitors?" she asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, they're waiting for you two" he told them as he made his way back to the waiting room.

As Mary and Patrick entered the hospital room, they saw a picture-perfect moment, mom holding her new baby with dad protectively sitting next to his family on the bed.

Already teary eyes, Mary made her way to her ne grand-daughter. "Ohh. She's so beautiful Elizabeth. She's so perfect."

Patrick made his way to his wife, a little more hesitant. "Good work son" and gave him another solid hand shake. Typical Patrick Henry thought to himself.

"Here, you can hold her if you'd like" Elizabeth told her mother-in-law. Without hesitation Mary took the new born and paced around the room talking to her baby, Patrick not far behind enjoying the new baby's presence.

"How are you feeling dear?" her mother-in-law asked. "You must be tired but you look good Elizabeth."

"I'm very tired but so happy" she said with a smile.

"Henry said you did an amazing job" she told the new mom.

"Well Henry was pretty amazing through it all, I couldn't have done it without him" she said while eyeing her handsome husband. He couldn't help but smile, he was so proud of his new family.

They spent a few minutes together before the new grand-ma and grand-pa left Henry, Elizabeth and the new baby to rest. It didn't take long for Elizabeth to fall asleep. Henry held his new baby girl in his arms and fell asleep in the chair next to his wife's bed.
