| �Say hello to your very quiet son,� Andie lifted the baby above the screen. His eyes were wide open and searching around the room, but unlike his sister was not screaming. But he was kicking and breathing. Joey face lit up when she saw her son. He looked so much like her, with deep brown eyes and a mop of black hair. Dawson saw it too, kissing Joey frantically on the forehead. �We have a son! I have a son!� Dawson yelled. �One of each, how perfect,� one of the nurses said, taking him in her arms and moving towards the crowd of other nurses waiting. Like his sister, he was weighed and measured, wrapped in a blue blanket and placed in his incubator. �Is everything okay Andie? Are they both okay?� Dawson asked. �It went very well. Both the babies are a good weight, bigger than they should be at this age actually and both are breathing fine. We have taken them to the neo natal ward and you can join them once we have cleared up Joey. Congratulations the pair of you. I�m so happy.� Andie�s head popped back behind the screen, leaving Dawson and Joey alone. �Go tell them,� Joey said, her eyes still full of tears. �No, I�m not leaving you,� Dawson said, wiping the tears away from her face. �It�s okay; I have Andie and Pacey here. Go tell our families they have two new additions,� Joey said, her hand reaching up and rubbing the tears away from Dawson�s face. Pacey moved in and sat next to Joey �It�s okay D, go tell them,� Pacey grabbed Joey�s hand and squeezed tightly. The two locked eyes and smiled. �Okay, I�ll be right back,� Dawson said, patting Pacey on the back. As he went to leave the room one of the nurses handed him two Polaroid pictures of the babies �To show your folks,� she said. �Pacey, I don�t want you to think that any of the, was your fault. I was ill before you came around tonight. I am so happy for you and Andie,� Joey said, looking up at Pacey and smiling. �Thank you. I�m really happy for you and Dawson too. Things are the way they were suppose to be. I love you Jo,� Pacey added, kissing Joey�s hand. �I love you too Pacey,� Joey said, smiling. �Hey, jealous wife in the room here!� Andie�s voice shouted from behind the screen �and I am wielding a knife so watch it!� �Feisty one, your wife,� Joey said �Like you wouldn�t believe!� Pacey laughed. Dawson left the room and ripped off the stupid hat and face mask. He couldn�t quite believe it. He had become a father in a matter of 30 minutes. He walked towards the waiting room, his head swimming with pictures from the delivery. He looked down at the pictures he was handed. His little girl was in mid cry, screaming her lungs off. His little boy was happy curled up in his blanket; eyes wide open, watching the world. He could see who took after who more. He pushed open the door and saw that everyone had come down to find out the news. �Is she okay Dawson? What about the babies?� Gail jumped to her feet and made her way across the room to her son. A huge smile spread across Dawson�s face for the first time that day. �Joey is great. And your grandson and daughter are amazing.� He handed his mom the pictures and kissed her on the check. �She�s had them! Oh my god, let me see,� Bessie ran across the room to Gail and wrapped her arms around her to see the pictures over her shoulders. �Yup, one boy and one girl. They are both doing fine and are on their way to the neo natal unit at the moment.� Dawson said, shaking hands with John and then accepting a hug from Brodie. �Oh my god, I�m a grandma,� Gail said, her hands flying to her face. �And I�m an aunt!� Bessie added. �And I...� Jack started �a favourite gay uncle!� he finished. He hugged Dawson tightly. �Jen would be so happy, you know that?� Dawson looked over his shoulder and saw Amy curled up on a chair, fast asleep, her angelic features mirroring her mother�s. �I know she would,� �Look, there goes Joey!� Bessie cried, running out the door to catch up with her sister. �Bessie,� Joey exclaimed as she saw her sister�s smiling face. They had just finished stitching her up and were moving her to her room. �Joey, they are beautiful,� Bessie said, trying to hug her sister while they were both moving. �I know. I can�t explain how much love I have for the pair of them already!� Joey said, a fresh set of tears tumbling down her face. �I felt the same about Alexander. Mom would be so proud of you,� Bessie said, wiping away her own tears. �I hope so. I really hope so,� Joey added. |
