“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?”

“Wait. Him” Kate pushed off the wall holding a cup of coffee. “You know we only went to mass to hang out for the after service donuts and then, later on, make out in the balcony. When we got older....I mean it was only once. Just a kissing really. We were like fifteen,” Kate rambled realizing she should probably stop adding and start subtracting to the story. It really didn’t matter to her one way or another but Shaun playing a priest might be fun. Her grandma would freak and her mother would give her that look but it would add to the Chronicles of Kate and Shaun they had built up over the years.

“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.”

“I love you,” Jessica said looking up at Aedan and then let out a laugh. It was full of happiness and shook her entire body. Anyone could tell she was finding this hysterical. Maybe it was the shock of giving birth? Maybe it was the drugs that were now coursing through her body. Either way, she definitely found something funny.

“I love you more than life itself and yes I’ll marry you,” she beamed looking up at him still with a huge smile. Jessica reached up her free hand towards his neck to guide him down to her lips. “I would marry you every day and twice on Sunday. I just didn’t think my big day would entail me being in a hospital gown cap looking like I had just been at the gym during a workout.”

Aedan nodded at Shaun who came over. The ceremony was quick, mostly just a legal standard. They would need to sign papers after this and that is the binding agreement.

Hours passed and Aedan held onto Cera, he hadn’t wanted to let her down since she was born. She was this perfect little bundle of love that represented him and Jessica so perfectly. He cooed softly as he leaned in kissing her sleeping forehead.
