Shoura answered his door with hair askew and faint lines crisscrossing his cheeks. He rubbed his eyes with the heel of one hand while he leaned against the door and squinted down at her. "I was wondering when you were coming." He said groggily as he took a step back to give her room to enter.

Krissy bit back a smile at his appearance easily when she remembered what she had to tell him. "I didn't come to snuggle..." She joked lightly. He raised an eyebrow. "Kate...she had the baby." His other eyebrow went to join the other. "Bryce, he needs me. I'm going to see him and the baby."

Shoura seemed more awake now as he straightened out of his slouch. "And I'm guess you don't want me to tag along?"

She shook her head. "I think that's a really bad idea."

"Why? I like babies and babies love me." When she just frowned at him he let out a breath. "Okay, when do you think you'll be back?"

She shrugged. "It's already getting pretty late, so probably not until morning."

He opened his arms out wide and it took her a moment to realize he wanted a hug, she hesitated before complying, wrapping her arms around the man. He squeezed her in return. "Be careful," He whispered into her hair.

The nurse looked at Bryce before she handed her the swaddled, little being with a soft smile. Krissy didn't really have any other choice but to take the child that was handed to her before she could refuse. Her whole body stiffened at the new weight in her arms, and she quickly looked back at Bryce.

"What are you doing?" She questioned voice shaky as she glanced down at the baby. He was pink and wrinkly, completely bald. She looked back up at the blank faced Bryce. "I...I...don't think Kate will like me holding her newborn without her permission, Bryce." She whispered harshly.

"Don't worry about that," he said without even an ounce of care. "I wanted the most important person in my life to meet my son. I..." He trailed off, seeming to just take in the sight of her holding the child awkwardly.

Krissy began to gracelessly rock when the baby made a sound she wasn't sure the meaning of in her arms, hoping he didn't start to cry. She looked back down at Bryce's son.

Bryce's son.

She bit her lip and swallowed, her forehead felt stiff. A rock in her stomach."He's beautiful." She commented, eyeing the perfect tiny hand that escaped the blue blanket. Her heart felt funny and she couldn't gaze down at the child for long because it felt as if the feeling was getting worse. It was a heavy feeling and she realized she didn't know how to feel or even what she was feeling. She looked back up at Bryce. "Have you... held him yet?"

When Krissy had arrived, picked up by Marcus from Shoura's, she had been led into the house and into a spare room on the second floor. There she shad found Bryce standing awkwardly near the door and a nurse checking over the baby on what seemed to be a scale.

Bryce continued to give her a funny look as he shook his head 'no'. "I haven't." He answered verbally.

So she was holding his son even before him. "Why?" She questioned, fearing she already knew the answer.

"I don't want too." He said honestly.

She frowned at him. "You have to feel something for him, right?" She worried Bryce didn't feel much of anything when it didn't come to her.
