I woke up at 8am and Xavier is hungry so I feed him and change him. I am cuddling him and Liv wakes up and looks at us, she says "you are so cute with Xavier"
I smile and Fin and Carisi knock on the door and walk in. They walk over to one side of my bed and I say "guys meet Xavier Drake Rollins"
They smile and both take turns at holding him. Carisi leaves after a while, he stayed for an hour last night when I went into surgery but Liv told him to go home. Liv leaves to go and get a cup of coffee. Fin is still holding Xavier and I say to him "Liv is his godmother and I would like you to be his godfather, what do you think?"
He says "I would love to"
Liv comes back and we stay talking until around 11am when Liv and Fin are called about a case so I tell them to go, I'll be fine.

They leave me and I am holding Xavier and I say to him "hi baby I'm your mama, I love you so much. Those two who just left are your godparents, they will be your Aunty Liv and Uncle Fin. The other guy before them will be your Uncle Sonny. I'm sure that your dad will be here soon, he won't be around much as he does lots of important work all around the world"
I just finish talking when there is a knock on the door and Declan walks in. He walks over to me and I say "sorry to call you here but there were complications and I wanted to make sure he had one of his parents around"
He says "Darlin no need to apologise"
I look at Xavier and back and Declan and say "this is your son Xavier Drake"
He says "that's a great name"
I nod and hand Xavier to him so Declan can hold his son. He asks "did you pick out Xavier's godparents"
I nod and say "I picked Liv and Fin, I hope you don't mind"
He smiles and says "Darlin it's fine, he is our son but I won't always be around, you can make any decision about him that you want"
I nod and say "thanks, it will make things easier as I don't want to make a decision and always wonder what you would say"
He says "it's fine. I will be here for Xavier when I can if you want me to be"
I nod and say "you have every right to be around your son and I'm sure that as he grows up he will want to know you"
I laugh and Declan asks "what?"
I say "it's nothing but nobody knows that you are his father yet"
He says "I didn't think anyone knew, it is fine for you to tell them if you want to"
I nod and say "I wasn't sure whether to tell anyone about you or just leave then wondering, if they saw the birth certificate they would find out anyway as I put you down under the paternal side instead of leaving it blank"
He nods and says "I will be back, there is something I want to get"
He leaves and I a doctor comes in to check on me and Xavier, we are cleared and told we are perfectly fine. I am brought in my lunch so I feed Xavier then eat my lunch. I finish and Liv walks in and asks "how are we going?"
I say "we are both great"
She says "I have been wondering who is D that you got me to text to come"
I laugh and say "I was wondering how long it would be until you asked, D is Xavier's dad, D also stands for Declan"
I see surprise go over he face and she asks "Is Declan Murphy Xavier's dad"
I nod and she says "I would never have guessed that"
