Exhausted and overjoyed, Chrissy cradled her tiny baby in her arms. Noni kissed Chrissy's forehead, "You did beautifully, Principessa."
"Thanks, Noni. He's beautiful, isn't he?"
"He is. Jameson Michael Byrne. A very Irish name for a little Italian bambino."
"His daddy was a good Irishman."
"Jack was a good boy. I'm sorry, Principessa."
Chrissy nodded sadly. After a few minutes of quiet, there was a light knock at the door, "Hey, pally," said a familiar deep voice.
"Dino!" Chrissy immediately smiled.
He came to her side and kissed her on the cheek, "I brought some balloons. Blue and pink since I didn't know which to get."
"Blue," she smiled.
"May I?" He asked taking the baby from her arms as she nodded.
"Meet Jameson Michael Byrne. I'm going to call him Jamie."
"That's beautiful, Chris... Really beautiful."
"Dino, if you'll wait a minute with her. I go get some dinner."
"Go ahead, Noni. I'm in no hurry."
He smiled at her and then returned his attention to Chrissy, "Dino, you'll look after him won't you? You'll do all the things for him that Jack never had the chance to do?"
"Of course, I will. I'll teach him to play ball, change a tire, pick up chicks," he smiled at Chrissy.
"Oh, Dino... If you would, I'd like to ask you to be Jamie's godfather and Jeanne to be his godmother."
"We'd love to."
Chrissy sat quietly while Dino rocked Jamie back and forth. For the first time in a very long time, Chrissy fell asleep and rested well.
