Genuine ~Eddie Munson~

january 24, 1987

"Come on, babe, you're almost there." Eddie encouraged as he stood next to you, holding tightly onto your hand. You cried and screamed, as you felt the beautiful pain of your sweet baby.

"The baby's head is out, she just needs a few more pushes and then baby Munson will be in the world." The doctor said as she looked at you, "Mrs. Munson you gotta keep pushing." She instructs and you groan, "What does it look like I'm doing, baking a cake?" You counter as you pushed, screaming out in pain. Eddie looks at the doctor and shrugs, "I'm sorry, she's usually really sweet."

A few nurses laugh and it sets you off, "Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

"Okay, Val, we're going to need one last push." She instructs and you shake your head and sob, "I can't, Eddie, I can't." You cry and Eddie shakes his head as he stroked your hair, "Baby, you got this, okay? You can do this. Just one more push, okay?" He encourages and you nod. You push and the pain was unbearable, "Fuck you Eddie, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you." You swear. Eddie chuckles, "That's kind of why we're in the predicament, right honey?" He tried to lighten the mood but the nurses just shook their heads at him and he nodded, "Vallie, come on, I need one good push and our little bundle of joy will be here, come on, do it for us."

You push one last time and heard the cry of the baby.

"Oh, he's so precious." The doctor complimented and you laid in bed, sobbing. Eddie cried as he saw him crying, "You did it, I'm so proud of you baby." Eddie said through tears as he pressed kisses on your sweaty forehead. "Do you want to cut the chord, dad?" A nurse asked Eddie and he nodded. He cut the chord and watched as the nurses took the baby away for cleaning. As the nurses washed the beautiful baby boy up, Eddie was comforting you in any way he could.

You looked at Eddie with tear stained cheeks and he smiled, "He's perfect, he's so goddamn perfect." Eddie tells you and you cry even more before feeling Eddie's kiss on your lips, the salty taste of each other's tears seeping into your lips. Eddie breaks the kiss and watches as they bring the baby over to you. You immediately hold your hands out to hold him.

As soon as he rested on your chest you felt calm and warm. He looked just like Eddie but he had your nose. You smile and gently tap his nose with your finger as you clicked your tongue quietly, "Hi, handsome. It's mama. I love you, son." You softly whispered. You look up at Eddie and see him uncontrollably crying his eyes out, "I love you." He said before kissing you deeply.

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Munson on bringing such a beautiful baby boy into this world. We'll give you two a minute and inform that waiting room full of people that he's perfectly healthy." The doctor said before leaving the room.

You look at Eddie again and see that he had his camera rolling, "There's my beautiful wife holding my precious cargo." Eddie says as he zooms in on the baby. You scoff and laugh, "Eddie I look like shit, don't film me." You whine quietly as you hold you hand up to cover your face. Eddie smacks his teeth and moves your hand out of the way, "Stop it, you're gorgeous." He says as he turned the camera off and set it on the side.

You look up at him and smile, "Take him." You say softly and Eddie nodded excitedly as he pulled his shirt over his head and gently took the baby from your arms. He walks over to the chair next to your bed, gently resting the baby on his chest. You chuckle and Eddie looks at you with furrowed eyebrows, "What? I read in a book that babies love skin to skin contact. Also, your boob is out, babe." He adds nonchalantly.

You chuckle, "Honey, my whole vagina was just out, i don't care that my nipple is out." You reply. Eddie laughed, "Babe, they could come in at any moment." He says and you groan and button up your gown. Just like clockwork, everyone quietly came into the room with gifts. You smile and wave for them to all come into the room.

They all immediately look at the baby and stare at in him awe. Wayne rested his hand on Eddie's shoulder, "You did good, son." He whispered with a smile. You smile, "Wanna hold him, grandpa?" You ask.

Wayne quickly look at you as if he was imagining what you had just said, "Grandpa? I'm his grandpa?" Wayne asked and you nodded, "If you want to be." You reply and he walks over to you, hugging you tightly, "I love you, pumpkin, I'll be the best grandpa to that little boy, I promise." He says before turning to Eddie. Eddie hands the baby to Wayne and let's him sit in the chair he was just in. Eddie climbs into bed next to you as everyone else kept their eyes on the baby.

"Does he have a name?" Steve asked as he leaned against the wall. You nod as you rested your head on Eddie's bare shoulder, "His name is Wayne Kenneth Munson." Eddie says and Wayne look at the both of you with watery eyes, "His name is Wayne?" He asked and Eddie nods, "Yeah, he's named after the best."

Wayne cries and it makes you cry as well, you wiped your tears as you snuggled into Eddie's chest. He pressed a kiss on your head.

You look at Steve and whistled to get his attention, "Hey, Harrington." You call to him and he approached your bed, sitting on the edge of it, "Yes?" He replied and and you smiled, "We want you to be considered an uncle to Wayne." You explain and Steve tried his best to remain manly but he failed, letting a few tears slip from his eyes, "It would be an honor." He smiled as he grabbed your hand and pressed a kiss on your knuckles. You look at Robin and she cries immediately, "YES!"

Your eyes shift to June and she nodding her head viciously, "That's my nephew."

Everyone took their turns in holding the baby and left by the time visiting hours were over. You laid in bed and you cuddled up next to Eddie and they baby slept in his bassinet.

You traced shapes on his chest as he stared at the ceiling, humming the song he wrote for you almost a year ago. You press a kiss to his jawline and trail the kisses down his neck, "Hey, hey, the doctor says no sex." He joked as he put his hand on your face and pushed you back. You squint your eyes and nod your head, "Okay, no sex ever again." You counter and he shakes his head, "Do you want to be on top or bottom?" He asked and you laughed and shook your head.

"I love you, Eddie Munson."

"I love you more, Valerie Munson."
