PARIS'S POV

"Knock, knock." A voice whispers. I look up to see Aidan, Trey, and Jamie standing in the doorway of the hospital room. I smile and wave them in. Instantly the three rush over to the bassinet holding the sleeping baby. They softly aw and gush at the sleeping newborn. I look over at Christy, who's lying on the hospital bed, and see that she's still asleep. I don't blame her. Giving birth must be a workout.

"What's his name?" Jamie asks. I smile and puff out my chest.

"Daniel Alexander Sharp." I tell them. Aidan sharply turns his head towards me so fast that I'm surprised he didn't get whiplash. Awhile back Aidan told me he always wanted a kid named Daniel and once I held the baby in my arms I knew it was the right name for him. A soft smile makes its way onto Aidan's face before he goes back to looking at the baby.

"His hands are so small." Trey says. Jamie gives him a 'duh' look and Trey scowls at him. They begin to bicker like always. Jamie's phone rings, interrupting their petty squabble and he answers.

"Hello? Yes, everything's fine. Sure. Okay. Talk to you later, bye." He hangs up and sighs.

"I have to go." He tells us.

"I'm gonna go too. Tired." Trey says. Aidan and I nod in understanding. Today has been a long day. First we graduate then Christy goes into labor.

"Here." Aidan says, throwing his car keys to Jamie. Jamie looks at him in confusion.

"We can just call a cab, Aidan." He says. Aidan shakes his head and smiles at his best friend.

"Nah. You guys have to go to my house anyway, right?" Aidan asks.

"Yeah, Jeremy's gonna drive me home, and Treys' parents are there too." He says.

"Then use my car to get there. No use wasting your money." Aidan shrugs. "Anyways, I was thinking of staying a while longer, and by the time I leave it'll be late and I'll be too tired to drive so I'll call a cab." Aidan's says. Jamie nods and hugs Aidan goodbye while Trey claps me on the back.

"Bye guys." Aidan says as they walk out of the room. I walk over to Aidan and hug him. He squeaks in surprise and I chuckle. I carry him to the rocking chair and sit with him min my lap. He lays his head on my shoulder and begins to play with my hair. I close my eyes and sigh. Its been a long day.

"I can't believe he's finally here." Aidan whispers.

"Me neither." I say on a weary sigh. A couple is seconds tick before I speak.

"Aidan."

"Yes?" He says. I shift and tighten my hold around his waist.

"What if I'm not a good dad? Its like now that he's here reality has finally set in. I'm a dad, and responsible for this kid's future. What if I screw up?" I ask in worry. Aidan gets off my lap and stands. He crouches down on his haunches and grabs my larger hand in his smaller hands.

"Paris, you'll do great. Trust me. You're going to be a great father, and Daniel is going to love you with all his heart. Don't worry." He tells me. Aidan places a kiss on my knuckles, and brushes his lips over the promise ring I'm wearing. I nod and pull him up and back into my lap. I rest my chin in his hair as he closes his eyes contentedly.

"Hey, remember that hot ass shower scene?" I ask playfully. Aidan sits up and glares at me before slapping my chest. I give him a lopsided smile and chuckle. Aidan scoffs before leaning back into me. I kiss his forehead and we sit there listening to the nightly sounds of the hospital.
