Jason's pov
*A few weeks later*
A few of our friends came over to celebrate the new baby. I'm not in much of a celebrating mood. But I put on a fake smile for everyone. Currently Luke's holding him. Everyone is conversating and stuff but I'm just keeping out of the way. "I should've taken those classes." I hear Miranda say. I look up wondering why. I thought she hated.. no I know she hated those classes. She was talking to Caroline in the kitchen doorway. I doubt she knew I was listening. I probably shouldn't be. "Labor was way harder than I ever imagined." And I wasn't there. I hate it. I hate everything right now. I've got to get out of here. I stand up and go outside. I missed the birth of my son. Mike is dead. But his legacy will live on. I sit in the rocking chair on the front porch trying not to cry. Before I know it, I hear the door opens. "You alright?" Luke. "No." I say. "Mike should be here." He sits beside me, no longer holding my son. I wonder who's got him now. "He's here man. Maybe not in body but he's here in spirit." I pinch my eyes, trying not to let myself cry. "He... He's the only one not here. Without him... I.. I'd be nothing. He's one of the very few people who believed in me in the beginning." I feel the first tear rolling down my cheek. "I... We wouldn't even be celebrating if it wasn't for Mike. I'd never have met Dallas!" He puts a hand on my shoulder. "Mike wouldn't want you to be upset. Come on. Come inside." "I can't." I shakily say, wiping away the steady stream of tears in my eyes. "Why not?" "I don't want her to see me like this." "You said it yourself. There ain't nothing wrong with crying." My heart rate speeds up hearing my amazing wife's voice. I hear the door close and she walks around, holding Michael. "You taught me a very valuable lesson, Jason. Don't be afraid to cry." She says. Luke stands up and she takes his seat. "Just ask Cole. I've done alot of crying the past month and a half." Because of what happened. "Jason, nobody here would think less of you for crying. He was your brother." "I don't wanna ruin the party." "You don't want a party and we don't have to have one." She says, holding my hand. "Our son will know all about his awesome uncle. Don't you doubt that." I can't help but smile. I love my wife. I love my son. And she's right. He will know his uncle Mike.
