Hollywood It Boy Jared Leto and his girlfriend, Fashion sweetheart Nina Morette, welcomed a son on December 15th. Although Nina gave birth 4 weeks early via an emergency cesarian section both mother and son are doing well. Our warmest congrats to the happy couple-
Variety

2 weeks Later Nina and the baby are finally home, although she was cleared to go home 5 days earlier she and Jared arranged it so she could stay with the baby till he was able to come home with her. A few days later they release a statement announcing the birth of their son and it's not long before the news is shared on TV and in entertainment magazines such as Variety and The Hollywood Reporter which Constance promptly cuts out and pastes into the scrapbook she's making for Tristan. Nina's C-section is still healing which means she has to take it easy, for the most part she is happy laying in bed taking care of her baby and being pampered and spoiled by Jared but truth be told she is a bit frustrated. Christmas Eve is tomorrow and soon Jared's birthday and although both celebrations are to be held at their home given Nina's delicate condition, she still has to take it easy to help her incision heal. She was looking forward to helping Julia and Constance in the kitchen instead she will be spending her time on the couch with little Tristan, not that she's complaining but she can't help but feel left out of the festivities.

Tristan eyes her with curiosity, cooing and smiling at the sound of her voice making Nina giggle with delight. He hears Jared's voice in the distance and turns his little head to the sound, making Nina smile big "Who is that little angel? Is that daddy?" He coos again still looking for Jared then turns his attention back to Nina as she kisses his cheek, he presses his little mouth to hers and tries to suckle making Nina giggle again "Aaaaaw are you hungry little bug, is my little man hungry?" She gets comfortable and helps him latch on, he whimpers at first then begins to feed. He's almost dozed off when Jared comes into the room "There's my little man...." He kisses the baby then Nina "......and my Angel" Tristan stirs at the sound of his voice and begins to whimper he turns to Jared waiting to be held. When he isn't his whimpers turn to soft cries. Jared picks him up and rocks him gently "What's the matter my love..... Ohhhh it's ok, daddy's here, daddy's got you" Nina covers up and hands Jared, Tristan's blanket "Don't forget to burp him darling" Jared sits down next to Nina, puts the baby on his shoulder and rubs his back. A few minutes later Tristan lets out a loud burp J:"What was that? Pardon you, little man" Nina can't help but giggle and the smile on Jared's face is priceless. He lays the baby back down and just stares at him in awe "I still can't believe we created this beautiful little soul, he's so beautiful" N:" Just like his daddy!" He leans over and kisses her cheek "No like his mommy" she blushes at his compliment.

He takes in his son as he sleeps soundly in his arms, he's so tiny and delicate, but perfectly formed. He studies his eyebrows, his lashes, his nose, lips, and his little hands with long expressive fingers that match his own. It's incredible one moment it's just the two of you, hands on her extended belly feeling the baby moving from within wondering what he'll look like and what he'll be like. The next you're holding him in your arms in absolute awe, this little human being who is all yours, a smaller version of you and her. Nina looks up at Jared and sees him lost in admiration "What are you thinking darling?" His eyes tear up "He's so beautiful, so perfect. I still can't believe he's ours" Nina looks at her son teary-eyed "Neither can I, I never thought I could love some one this much" Jared kisses the top of Tristan's head "Neither did I... I can't even put into words how good this feels" Nina snuggles up close to her boys, her heart is full and her soul is happy beyond measure. Jared picks up Tristan's little hand and caresses it with his thumb "We'll always take care of you little Angel, you'll never need nor want for anything" Nina kisses the top of Tristan's head then Jared's cheek. "I love you Jared, so much. Thank you, for this, for Tristan, for you, for us." Jared smiles sweetly at her "No, thank you my love, I've never been happier or felt more complete than I do right now" he takes her lips tenderly

From the doorway Shannon takes in the scene tearing up every now and again as he remembers  a day a few months ago when his little brother was filled with doubt and fear, he knew then as he knows now that he would fall in love with his son, that Tristan is his and his alone. He picks up his camera and captures the moment, he'll be capturing similar ones for Miranda in a few short weeks but this here, this was for them and for his mom who would no doubt add these to her scrapbook. He couldn't wait to tell Nina and Jared that Miranda wanted to introduce her to Runway readers in a five page spread showcasing her, Jared and the baby. He's lost in admiration taking pictures here and there when he feels Julia's soft lips on his skin "They make such a pretty picture don't they?" He turns to her and takes her in his arms "That they do Darling" J:"Have you told them about Miranda?" S:"No not yet, I will after dinner, just not sure how they're gonna take it. They'll be flattered I'm sure but you know how protective Jared is about their privacy now even more so with Tristan" J:"Of course Darling, I'd be just as protective with a little one of our own" he can't help but smile at that. He has thought of a future with her, in fact he can't imagine his without her in it. But they've never really spoken about having a family, hearing her say those words warms his heart. He pulls her into his embrace and they take in the scene together S:"Our little one Miss Sirac? Is there something you'd like to share with the class?" His lips tease her neck as his hand drops to her belly making her flush J:"No Doll..... But the thought has crossed my mind. I want this with you Shannon, so much" he takes her lips passionately "One day I will make you my wife" her heart swells and her eyes tear up " I would love nothing more than to call you my husband" he takes her lips once again and holds her close.
