Now in sickbay - Cross laid down on the bed as the N.O switched on the 4D ultrasound ‘’ How many weeks? ‘’ Kate asked ‘’Em about 12 weeks’’ she replied . Her heart started racing ,though she so much had waited for this moment the female doctor knew only too well what could go wrong to the unborn child.

‘’Oh Joe I need you’’ she murmured to herself.

Joe had slid from bed with the intention of giving Miri a quick kiss at least, only to see nothing but her backside before his feet even hit the floor. He scratched his head, yawned and said out loud to himself. ” I guess I could consider that a very definite heck yes. ” Joe searched around for his clothing and quickly got dressed. He hadn’t been doing much at the bar the previous day, so he wasn’t smelling particularly ripe yet. All this being said he shrugged and pulled everything together and nearly ran in the direction of sickbay.

He felt the entire thing was a female trap to ensnare him like some poor bunny and place him at the mercy of the trappers. He was just as anxious about the baby as anyone was. but it seemed that when it came to such matters women seemed to sell men short. Miri could have awakened him up after all. But by the time he did get to sickbay he was feeling better again and more like a prospective dad instead of a rodent stuck in a trap. Upon entering he found Miri and either with or against her wishes leaned over to give her a quick kiss on her forehead and a squeeze of her hand. He then turned his attention toward Kate and what she was doing.

Cross just grabbed his hand tightly, there on the screen was her baby kicking and pulling at the umbilical cord ,the CMO felt a lump in her throat and her eyes welled with tears .

Kate started to check the fetus and how it was developing , she turned to the mother and father ‘’ Its normal there are no anomalies , from now on the baby will just grow and put on weight ‘’.
Cross being a doctor was also analyzing ,the heart beat and blood supply from her to the baby ,she then smiled and looked at Joe ‘’ All is well, just remind me what name you had chosen for our boy ?’‘.
