Everything was a huge blur after that.

Scott remembers driving to the hospital Kevin told him about, after he'd called him.

He remembers carrying Mitch across the parking lot.

He remembers finding Avi, a minute before Avi walked into the hospital room to be with his wife.

All he did was look Avi in the eyes, and Avi threw himself into a hug with the taller Alpha. "Scott... I'm going to be a father."

"An amazing one at that." Scott added.

Avi pulled away, tears in his eyes, and then turned to find Kirstie again. "Wish me luck."

"Make me."

Avi turned to glare, but Scott just smirked at him. Avi knew he was kidding around to try and relieve some of Avi's stress, so he let it go.

Scott doesn't really remember anything else beyond that.

He knows he sat down in the chair between Todrick and Mitch.

He knows Kevin was pacing back and forth.

He knows that Jake left at some point to get them all coffee and tea.

And he also knows that Mitch sat on his lap, and eventually fell asleep after mumbling something about how cute the baby was going to be.

But the entire time, Kevin didn't sit down once. Not once.

He took his tea from Jake, thanked him, and then continued walking.

Todrick tried to tell him to relax, but Kevin wouldn't even listen to him. And that's saying something.

After what seemed like forever, Avi walked through the doors into the waiting room, his facial expression a mix of shock and happiness... And also relief.

Avi gave Kevin a small smile when he ran over to him. "Hey, Kev..."

Kevin's concern was written all over his face. "Did everything go alright? Is Kirstin okay? What's the baby's name? How are you? You look tired. Is--"

Avi chuckled at him, grabbing his hand to lead him into the room with Kirstie. Before he left, he looked at everyone else. "Do any of you want to meet little Miss Grace Kaplan?"

Alex nearly killed himself trying to rush out of his chair, following Kevin as closely as he could.

Scott picked Mitch up and followed, not waiting for anyone else.

Avi hesitated a second, smiling to himself, before opening the door and smiling at Kirstie. "Hey, honey. I have some impatient people behind me. I think you're quite fond of them."

Kirstie smiled tiredly as the others filed in behind him. "Hey guys."

Scott was at her side in an instant, setting Mitch down next to her, but then picking him up again and looking at Avi. "Is it okay if I--? Nevermind. I'm sorry."

Avi just chuckled. "It's fine. Just not on my wife, and not on my baby."

Scott smiled and set Mitch back down on the small bed.

Scott stared at the baby in Kirstie's arm. "How.. Um. What's her full name?"

Kirstie smiled at him. "Grace Abigail Kaplan."

Scott froze and tilted his head. "Abigail?"

"Yes. Why? What's wrong?"

Scott looked over at Avi, who had a smug look on his face. "Avi.. Did you do that on purpose?"

Kirstie gasped. "Alpha, you did not give your own child a name you knew would upset Alpha Scott, did you? Tell me you didn't."

Scott shook his head slowly. "No, he.. I can't believe you remembered that.."

Mitch raised a hand slowly. "Um, I'm confused." He announced.

Avi turned his smile to Scott. "Kirstie said she wanted to name our child after you, because she looks up to you. But I refuse to name a female baby 'Scott', so.. Next best thing."

Mitch shook his head. "That still doesn't make sense."

Scott smiled too, and walked over to hug Avi.

Kevin cleared his throat. "So.. For the sake of the rest of you... When Scott joined the pack, Avi and I could both tell that he had fallen in love with Mitch the instant their eyes met. And when Avi said something to him about it, Scott replied, and I quote, 'no, Sir, you don't understand. I am going to marry that beautiful Omega, and our children will be named Abigail and Landon."

Scott hugged Avi a little tighter, picking him up off of his feet. "You pretend to be mean, but this is the sweetest thing you've ever done for me."

"Ew, set me down. I am the furthest thing from sweet."

Scott set him back on his feet, and kissed his cheek, which Avi quickly wiped off, before Scott turned back to Kirstie and walked closer. "C-Can I..?"

She smiled and nodded, carefully handing the child in her arms over to him. "Of course, Alpha."

Scott held the baby as carefully as he could, staring at her in fascination.

Kevin, somewhere behind him, offered. "Support the head, Scott."

Scott did as he was told, and Mitch grinned at the sight in front of him. "Beautiful..."

Kevin then walked over to Kirstie, asking how she was doing.

Todrick stood beside Scott, staring at the baby in awe. "She is absolutely gorgeous, Avi. Congratulations, you guys. How amazing..."

Avi smiled, standing at the foot of the bed. "Thank you."

Mitch looked over and grinned at him. "I love her name. 'Grace' is so pretty."

Avi reached down and grabbed Mitch's hand, giving it a squeeze. "Thank you, Tiny."

Jake was on the other side of him, eyes wide as he took in the event unfolding before him. "Congratulations, Alpha. This is amazing."

Scott had passed the child, very carefully, to Kevin, who had tears in his eyes as he stared at the beautiful creation in his arms.

Scott turned and lifted Mitch up by his arms, only to kiss him. "I want babies. Get pregnant."

Mitch giggled, knowing he was joking. "Let me just command myself to do so. Give me a second."

Scott didn't laugh though, he just kissed Mitch again. "I'm not kidding around. Be pregnant."

Mitch's smile faded a little, Scott's eyes boring into his own. "Really? You want to have a baby with me?"

"Of course I do."

Avi laughed all of a sudden. "Scott, please calm your sex drive down in front of my child."

Scott slowly let go of Mitch's arms, eyes shifting over to Avi. "Sorry..."

Kevin looked over at Todrick, who had a hand on Kevin's back, smiling down at the baby in Kevin's arms.

Todrick met his eyes, speaking quietly. "What?"

"Have you ever thought about.. Nevermind. I'm sorry." He shook his head and tried to take a step away from Todrick out of shame, but Todrick grabbed his arm.

Todrick gave him a reassuring smile. "Yes. I have."
