Shock My Love! ( An Ace Frehley/Tommy Thayer Love Story)

Chapter 33- Our Son Daniel Patrick Frehley (Ace POV)

"Aw, Daniel...he looks like a mini-me! But he has like a baby version of your jaw-line baby, and he has your eyes!", I am just so in awe of my son. Tommy, my poor Tommy still looks very much exhausted but so happy.

"I hope that he gets your laugh Ace and that smile, which hey he should since he's basically a mini-you! God, he's adorable!", Tommy gushes. "Here, you want to hold him?"

"I feel like I'll break him, he's so small!", worry colors my tone but Tommy just smiles at me....

"You won't. Now, hold our son!"

Carefully, I take Daniel from his mother and into my arms. Those little eyes of his... my husband's eyes are reflected at me. Daniel is very much awed...or at least it seems that way to me.

"Hey there son! I'm your daddy! Oh, Daniel...it's so nice to finally meet you. You sure know how to make an entrance!", I cackle. Laughing and crying at the same time, Daniel is absolutely mesmerized. "Aw! Oh, my beautiful son...you don't know just how happy I am that you're here! You and your mother are my world, my absolute world! I'd do anything for you, for your mother!"

"Oh Ace, baby that was so beautiful!", Tommy rubs away his tears and I carefully hand our son back to him as the nurse comes in for Tommy & I to sign the birth certificate...which the both of us do proudly and tearfully.

Daniel starts getting fussy & Tommy rocks him in his arms gently, "Shh! Mamas got you...what's wrong? Oh, I bet I know! Someone's hungry!" and he turns to me, and he doesn't have to say the words I immediately get a ready-made bottle and hand it to Tommy so he can feed our precious baby boy. Daniel begins to feed, very greedily I might add.

"Look at him go lightning bug! Geez somebody really is hungry!", I cackle, and Tommy laughs along with me eyes soft. Daniel quickly consumes the bottle and Tommy carefully burps him. It's hard to believe he's here, that my son is here. It's also hard to believe that I have a child, that I have a family and that I'm married. These are all things I didn't think I'd have, that I'd want or need.... I have never ever in my life been glad to be wrong. It's all thanks to my lighting bug, my beloved Tommy.... what I'd do or where I'd be without my husband.... I can't imagine.

I stroke my son's head gently and I bring my husband in for a kiss...such a beautiful tender and peaceful moment.... until.... The Door opens & in walks: Gene, Bruce & their little Gina, Fox & Paul with their kids Jessica and Zach and lastly brining up the rear...Peter & a heavily pregnant and perfectly rounded Eric-Singer Criss.

The room is very crowded, but I wouldn't trade them.... trade our family for anything. Eric is helped to sit in a chair by Peter and everyone takes every available seat....

"Aw! Is that Daniel? Oh, Pete...Look! Look how cute he is!" Eric exclaims getting all teary eyed. "Oh, I can't wait to hold our little girls!! Ooh, can I hold him first? Please?" Eric gives puppy dog eyes that no mortal can resist and Tommy smiles nodding and hands Daniel to me and so I hand him to Eric & Peter and as I sit next to my husband once more and kiss him...we watch Eric & Pete like hawks.... New parents...can't help that...

"Ace, he looks just like you! Well, he has Tommy's wavy hair. Eyes and jaw line...but he's a mini-Ace for sure!" Eric is beaming.

"A chip off the old block huh Space-Man?", Peter asks highly amused.

"Well of course! With Tommy & I as his parents.... he's bound to be good looking! Not to mention talented & let's not forget hilarious! He's a newborn and already knows how to make an entrance!", Collective laughter sounds at that. Daniel is soon passed to Peter & so on & so forth, everyone congratulating Tommy & I, remarking on how cute our son is etc....it means everything to me. Really does mean everything...

At long last Daniel is given back to me and I hand him to his mother, my beloved lightning bug: Tommy and Daniel adorably curls up on my husband's chest and is lulled to sleep by the sound of his mother's beautiful heartbeat.

Daniel, my hope for you is that you grow up a good strong man, find your happiness, find true love, and always remember that your mother & I love you more than words can ever say. We will always, always be here to guide you, be whatever you need, anytime any place...Someday, I hope that too your mother & I can give you a little sister.... You and any future siblings will never know anything but unconditional love & support. 

A/N: So much cuteness!! Next will see our new spaced family bring little Daniel Patrick Frehley home & then chapter 35-38 will have time skips...everything from a 1st birthday, to possible additions to the family & the eventual passing of the torch...stay tuned for more & much love to you all!
