We were now back home, and I was just getting ready to put Tate and Violet down for a nap when I got a call from Luke. He had told me that Katie was going to go into labor soon, and they were at the hospital.
"Daddy," Tate whined.
"Tate, daddy needs to get you two ready to go see Aunt Katie. She's gonna have her baby soon. You'll have a little cousin!" I exclaimed. They smiled.
I got their shoes on them, got them some toys, loaded them into their car seats and left. We got to the hospital quickly.
Luke was panicked when we got there. Katie still hadn't told him the baby wasn't his. I felt bad for Luke. Michael came up to me.
"Hey.. So Luke doesn't know yet?" I asked him. He shook his head.
"Katie refused to tell him. I didn't want to tell him. He might not believe me. He's going to soon see that the baby looks nothing like him."
"What are you going to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you want to see your baby being born?"
"Yeah, I do. I don't know what I'm going to do about that, though."
"I have an idea," I smirked.

Luke came out into the waiting room after the doctors had told us it wouldn't be long until Katie had the baby. Luke didn't know that. He sat beside me, where Michael had been sitting, but Michael had gone into the room with Katie.
"Did you hear about how long it will be?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, the doctor told me a few hours."
"Good, because I'm really tired. Wake me up if you get any updates. I really don't want to miss it, but I'm too tired that if I don't sleep now, I might," he explained.
"Okay. Go ahead and sleep," I told him, feeling bad. But Michael just couldn't miss the birth of his son.
Luke fell asleep, and I talked to Tate and Violet, even though they didn't know many words.
"Auntie Katie is going to have her baby soon," I began with.
"Baby!" Tate looked at me.
"Yeah, Tate, baby."
"Happy?" Violet asked.
"Yeah, daddy's happy. He's excited."
"And Uncle Mikey is going to be a daddy, like me with you guys."
"Mitey?" Violet wondered.
"Yeah, Uncle Mikey. He's your favorite, isn't he?" She nodded. I smiled. He was going to make a great dad since he already made a great uncle to Tate and Violet.
"Are you guys excited to have a little cousin?" I asked them. They both nodded.
About twenty minutes later, the doctor came out to us and said that the baby had been born about ten minutes before, so I woke Luke up. I motioned to Luke to come with me. I picked Tate and Violet up and made my way into the hallways towards Katie's room.
When I got in there, I saw Michael holding their baby. Luke looked confused. He walked over to Michael and looked down at the baby.
"Calum!" He exclaimed.
"What?"
"You told me he doctor said the baby wouldn't be here for another few hours. Or has it been a few hours?"
"No, it's only been twenty-some minutes. But the doctor told me it was going to be another few hours."
"But why was Michael in here instead of me? I want to hold my baby!" Luke took the baby from Michael.
"He doesn't look anything like me.." Luke looked at the baby boy closely.
"Yeah, I know he doesn't.." Katie said, unsure.
"He looks more like Michael than he does me or you, Katie.." He observed, "that's weird."
"Actually, that's not weird," Michael began.
"Why isn't it?"
"Because he's my son.."
