He kissed the tip of her nose, then her mouth. He was going to ask about adopting, but he changed his mind. "I love you."
Maggie squeezed his hand as hard as she could, crying and whimpering as she pushed. She was sweaty and in pain, and swearing at the him for doing this to her.

"I love you, too," she replied, sighing. "I will have your child, Tyler. I will. I promise."
"Yes, I know, baby," he said, raising his voice so he could be heard above the clamor of the delivery room. "I'm a bastard, yes, but you gotta push. You're almost there, you're doing so well."

He nodded, kissing her temple. "I know sweetie. But it's not a big deal, really. I love you. We got each other, that's all that matters."
She nearly growled at him, but pushed one last time, crying out. There was a split second of silence...and then the wail of a baby rang out. Maggie fell back against the pillow, exhausted.

She just nodded, resting her head back against his shoulder.
"Oh, baby, you did so great," he murmured, placing his lips on her forehead. "Ya hear that? That's ours."

"I mean, it Rosie. I love you." He kissed the top of her head, holding her a little tighter.
Maggie was bawling, holding her arms out so the nurse could give her the baby once she'd cleaned it off. The nurse smiled at them. "Congratulations. It's a boy."

Right after Tyler got off the phone with Mike, Rose hurried to grab the present they'd gotten for the baby. "Why couldn't they just have found out the gender earlier, like normal people?!" she cried, grabbing her purse. Since they couldn't buy any clothes, they had gotten the baby a green and white striped blanket - not Rose's ideal baby gift, but it would have to do.
Tears immediately filled Mike's eyes as he sat on the edge of the bed, watching Maggie hold their son.

Tyler chuckled. "They wanted it to be a surprise. The old-fashioned way. It's nice." He drove to the hospital, holding her hand.
Maggie cooed at the baby, sniffling back tears, touching his cheek. "Hi, there. Hi, Christopher. You look just like your daddy, don't you."

"Well, it certainly put a limit on shopping for our god-baby," she pointed out, holding his hand tightly.
Michael sniffed, leaning over to kiss Maggie's temple then to gently brush a finger over Christopher's cheek. "No, he's got your eyes."

He laughed. "Well, you can make up for it now." Once they were at the hospital, they made their way up to Maggie's room.
Maggie sniffled, leaning her head against Mike's chin. "He's perfect."

Rose knocked on the door before just barging right in. She immediately squealed, softly since Christopher was sleeping.
Mike stood up, wiping away his tears, ushering them in. "Come in, come in. Meet your new godson."

Tyler chuckled, clapping Mike on the back. "Well, what d'ya know. Rosie was right about it bein' a boy."
Maggie beamed at Rose, holding Chris so she could see him. "He's perfect. Isn't he perfect?"

Rose covered her mouth with her hands, gasping and trying not to lose her shit over how adorable he was. "Oh my gosh, Maggie. He's an angel. How was it?"
Mike just stood there, hands on his hips, the tears that he had just wiped away threatening to come back. He let out a heavy sigh, shaking his head slowly.

Maggie let out a breath. "Hurt so bad. I was cursing up a storm. But then...this." She smiled down at the sleeping baby.
Tyler watched Mike's face, giving the back of his neck an affectionate squeeze. "You did good, kid."

"Oh my god," Rose whispered. "Can...can I hold him?"
Mike chuckled, sniffling and holding back a blush. "Thanks, man," he said, a smile taking over his lips. He wanted to tell Tyler that it would be his turn soon, but nobody had really been talking about them having a baby for a little while.... So he kept his mouth shut."

Maggie nodded, holding Chris out for Rose to take. "Careful with his head. He's so tiny, isn't he? Considering I got so damn huge." She grinned. She didn't mind so much.
Tyler watched Rose take the baby, and nearly broke down himself. He loved Mike and Maggie, was so happy for them...but he couldn't help but feel a little jealous that he and Rose didn't have the same thing.
