“My… my word. She’s so tiny.” Aedan said as he held her in his arms and looked down at her. “Hey little one…” he said softly, pulling her close to kiss her forehead as he walked over, having a nurse to bring a chair close to the bed as he handed Cera to Jessica. “She’s beautiful…” he said as he looked at her, eyes watering up and tears falling slightly as they stung his cheeks.

Jessica pushed up on her elbows ready to get her first look at the baby. She sighed and leaned back on the pillows the nurse was placing behind her as Aedan approached with their child. The birth was not as she had planned it nor was the result. Aedan had been excited about the baby throughout her pregnancy yet his reaction to their daughter was more than Jessica expected. She had known Aedan would be proud but she was stunned to see the look on his face. Aedan’s eyes shown with pure devotion and love. Even in their most intimate moments, he had never looked at Jessica like that. The small bundle in his arms would never be replaced by anyone or anything ever.

“Yes, she is,” Jessica said reaching up and taking the baby Aedan handed her. Jessica wanted to say something profound yet words had escaped her. All she could do was look at the tiny human that would change her and Aedan’s life forever.

Sitting Aedan grabbed Jessica’s hand placing it to his lips. He was exhausted carrying her all the way to the ship, the fight with Garvis. He felt exhausted yet thrilled at the same time. “Let’s get married… now. Lets not wait for the pomp and circumstance… have my cousin show up and just pronounce as husband and wife.” Aedan said as he looked over at Jessica, it felt almost odd calling Mathias his cousin but he was serious. She would know he didn’t kid about things like this.

“Whah…ah…huh,” Jessica said trying to process what Aedan just said. “Your cousin,” she looked at him as he kissed her hand with a confused expression on her face. “You…you mean Mathais,” she quickly deduced who Aedan meant. She knew that men often suffered from sympathetic labor but she hadn’t read anywhere that they experienced the oxytocin rush all mothers felt; Aedan, however, was clearly in its throws. Until this moment, cousin and Mathias had never been uttered in the same sentence without the qualifiers not or isn’t adjoining them.

Jessica bit her lip and looked Aedan in the eyes. “The only thing that will ever matter to me is what is right here right now,” she said bringing his hand to her cheek as she held the baby close to her. “Yes,” she said pulling his hand down so that his lips would meet hers. “I would marry you any day of the week and twice on Sundays,” she said kissing him softly. “I love you Aedan Teller. I’d follow you anywhere. You only ever have to ask only maybe we can use your Captain instead of mine?”

“I mean, well I am now missing a Captain of the Saber… how about you slick?” Aedan said as he looked over at Shaun. “Want to become a Captain for five minutes to make us official?”

“Me? I… I guess? I mean… how does that work?” Shaun asked, he seemed confused as he sat back, this was not how his vacation with Kate was planned. He wanted time alone, and now he was birthing babies and becoming a Captain of some CEO ship.

“Perfect.” Aedan said looking back at Jessica, beaming at her. “I… I have waited for a very long time to be able to call you my wife. I don’t want to wait any longer.”
