Day 294

You've got to love Australian weather; clouds are threatening to pour above you but the wind is so warm, it makes you feel all warm and cuddly.

I'm not going to go through the whole "hospital stuff" again because it's been done twice. I only wanted to elaborate Winston and Max's because 1) Winston was the first one born and 2) he set the standard that demonstrated how different and extreme Jenny and Zap's progress was with Max.

Disclaimer: I do not own the show (I swear I've said this one before too).

The team waited patiently in the seats just outside the birthing suite. Zap and Jenny were seated together, with the mother holding her son on her lap as the two young parents gushed over their child. Bream and Tung were sitting next to them, with Winston sitting cross-armed on Bream's lap.

"Where's my mom and dad?" he asked again, causing the girl to sigh in exasperation. She patted him softly on the back.

"He'll be out soon, Winston," she cooed, delivering the sweetest smile she could muster. The child sank back into his chair with a loud sigh, bored out of his mind.

A door in front of them swished open in a breeze, allowing the leader to step out of the room. Everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone sat up at his presence; expectant looks of happiness crossing their faces. A huge grin broke out on Dex's face as he smiled bashfully to the ground.

The room erupted into cheers and applause as the few members of the team sat up to congratulate the second-time father.

"Well done, man," Zap said, making sure to drape his arm over Jenny's shoulder. Bream was quick to hand over the more-than-eager Junior to his father, who scooped him up happily.

"Yeah, I just can't believe that I have a daughter. The reality hasn't quite sunken in yet," he flashed his grin over to his son, but his expression turned to worry at the grumpy look on Winston's face.

"You all right, mate?" he bounced him up and down a little, yet the child kept his expression. Confused, Dex handed him back to Bream softly, clearing his throat as he did so.

"Girls, why don't you go and check out Sammy, she should be in the maternity ward window now," Dex instructed, heading backwards into the room behind him. "I'm just going to check and see if Jane needs anything."

Bream and Jenny, each with a child in their arms, walked down the echoing corridors towards the ward. A bright window illuminated with light guided them forward until they reached their destination. Bundles of blankets in pink and blue surrounded their view, and quickly they searched for the baby.

"Oh, there she is," Bream pointed out, stepping to the left as she pressed her finger on the glass. "Second row, right in the centre."

"Oh she looks so cute," Jenny smirked as Max pressed his nose against the glass, fogging up a circle under his mouth.

"Doesn't she just look perfect," the frog girl cuddled Winston closer as she admired Sammy. Winston kept his eyes firmly locked on the golden-haired baby wrapped in a pink blanket, snoozing amongst the other newborns. His mouth pouted in jealously, eyes narrowed and tiny fists clenched.

"How great, you have a little sister Winston!"

R&R! Guess Winston doesn't like his new little sis!
