Vanessa is eight months pregnant, just about to be nine months, she was in the kitchen and Thomas was sat at the table reading the paper when Vanessa dropped a pan and held her stomach in pain, Thomas shot up and rushed over to her aid
"I think the baby's coming." She says
"What?"
"The baby's coming now!" She yells at him and her water breaks, Thomas rushes her to the car and to the hospital, they take her away on the stretcher and he calls Polly and his brothers, fifteen minutes later they all arrive
"Is the baby here yet?" Polly asks, she knows the baby's going to be a boy, she always knows and is never wrong
"I don't know." He says, another hour and a half passes when they hear a baby's cry
"That's definitely the Shelby child, all Shelby's make the entire hospital known of their arrival, sounds like he has a good set of lungs too." Polly says and a nurse walks over and informs them that the baby has arrived and it's a healthy baby boy
"Told you." Poly says to Thomas as they walk into the room, Vanessa is holding her sleeping baby, she's looking down at him with adoration, it's her and Tommy's first baby, Thomas sits down next to her and looks at the child, she hands him over to Thomas, he's hesitant, worried that he would hurt him, but once he looked at his son he instantly knew that he loved him with everything he has, his son is a bit small, he's a month early, but head healthy, Vanessa rests her eyes and falls asleep, Thomas hands the baby to Polly and she coos at him
"He looks just like his father, what have you and Vanessa named him?"
"Charlie." He replies and holds his sleeping wife's hand, after everyone gets a good look at the baby John hands him back over to Thomas, charlie has a hold on his finger, Thomas was happy, but not as happy as the day he married Vanessa, nearly all decisions in his life were mistakes, marrying or having this baby wasn't one of them
