NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! (Luke Blade Story)

*14*

After I killed my attackers and heard them tell me that Kc was pregnant I still couldn't fathom the thought of really being a family man, and raising a child. But I was more worried about Kc, for even now after they successfully pulled out our son, Kc was still in the darkness of unconsciousness and showing no signs of life within her. Klayton tried to tell me that after having two bullets removed from her chest and giving birth at the same time, she was just taking a break for a while, but she would be ok and come back to me. I was going back and forth from the nursery to look in on our son, then going back up to her room and sitting there waiting for her to come back alive for me.

I was holding her hand and gently stroking her hair when I felt her entire body tremble slightly. I jumped up and called one of the nurses so they could see what it was all about. They quickly checked her vitals and told me with a smile that she was getting stronger, and that she was trying to wake up. That was the most exciting news I have heard in over two weeks, my baby was waking up! I rushed out the doors and told Mama D and all my brothers that Kc was waking up! As soon as Klayton heard the news, he contacted all of our old friends that were worried sick about her and told them all that she was showing large signs of life, and getting ready to wake up and if they really cared for her, they would get their asses down here to see her and the new addition to their family.

As I kissed her forehead she slowly fluttered her eyes and looked around blankly at the room for a moment, then she gently squeezed my hand as she asked me what happened and where was she. I gave her a very warm smile and told her that she was in the hospital recovering from being shot and delivering a baby at the same time. She turned away from me as a few tears slid down her cheek, and said she was too afraid to tell me that she was pregnant because she didn't know how I would react to it. I kissed her on the nose and told her that I was ecstatic at the thought of being a daddy and was crazy in love with her silly ass. Then I thumped her on the nose and told her never to hide shit from me again.  

She gave me a weak smile and said she wouldn't, then she asked if we had a boy or a girl and if it was ok. I stood up and gave a stretch as I pulled out my phone and showed her a few pictures of our baby in the nursery, and told her it was a lil boy, and he was absolutely perfect. Kc touched the image on the screen as she got emotional all over again as she asked me if I thought of any names for him yet. I shrugged my shoulders and told her I was too worried about her to think of anything...then I laid down beside her in the bed and said we should think of a good name together. But before I could think of anything I was out like a light as soon as my head hit her pillow, I guess I was more mentally exhausted than I thought. Kc just wrapped her arms around my neck and closed her eyes.

Klayton and all our old buddies came in first as they set flowers and welcome back gifts on her nightstand, then they all gave her hugs and kisses telling her how brave and strong she was, and that the girls couldn't wait for her to get out of the hospital so they could go shopping and get working on the nursery for our son. As soon as Rachel and Sandy mentioned the nursery they all started asking and naming off baby names. It was rather funny for the fact that each of our friends wanted us to name our son after them. I just looked at Kc with a very silly expression and shook my head I mouthed to her Hell No! 

After being stuck in the hospital with her for several days it was now time for her to be released so I could take my wifey and show our son to his new home, that was if I could get my hands on him after Mama D got a hold of her grandson. Jd and Costa both said he was such a cutie pie and looked just like his daddy. I held my head up with pride and told them I just hoped he got his smarts, common sense, and his disposition from his mommy, because if he was just like me...the world would be in big trouble. Then in all seriousness, I looked at my family and asked them all what they thought we should name him, because I really had no idea, for I had no one in my past life that I really loved or looked up too besides myself. 

After much contemplation, I decided to go with Mama D's idea and just add Kc's name into it and said our son's name was going to be J.C. Lukas Sarantakos which was short for Johnny Crisstopher Lukas Sarantakos. That way when he got older, he could have the choice of being called Johnny, Crisstopher, or Lukas/Luke because they all were in his name. I knew it was kind of a long name, but using the initials on his birth certificate made it look really good. Plus deep down it made me and Kc both remember my true identity was Luke Blade, but Criss Angel was my new improved and reformed version of me. JD snickered slightly and said it was a very good name for the lil guy. Stoney disagreed with a snort and said he still should have been named after him because he was the coolest brother I had. I slapped him on the back and told him that it was for that very reason that I was making him JC's godfather, Klayton looked at me with a million watt smile on his face from that bit of information I gave him.
