An hour later, around 7 PM,
Finally a nurse came in the room and told Michael they succeed with removing the bullits and they're currently performing the c section and then they'll bring both Veronica and the baby to the room
"How long will it take?" Michael asked
"Ten or fifteen minutes" The nurse answered
"Ok, thank you" Michael replied and waited for what felt like fifteen years instead of fifteen minutes till two nurses wheeled the bed into room with Veronica and another one carrying a new born wrapped in a green cloth
"The baby is a healthy full-grown little-" The nurse began while handing the newborn to Michael
"Don't tell me yet, I want to find out when my wife finds out too" Michael interrupted her and carefully held his newborn
"Ok" The nurse nodded and left with her coworkers that finished checking the IV on Veronica and made sure the bandages didn't move while they brought her from the OR to the room
While Michael was letting it sink in his child was born now and his wife hooked up to an IV and covered with bandages on her leg, arm and stomach, the world outside the hospital found out about what happened on the parking lot at Clarke's kitchen and assumed Veronica and the baby didn't make it
---- Meanwhile in Honolulu,
"Liam, get in here!" Fiona called while watching the news with tears in her eyes "Our baby and her baby were killed" She cried
"What?" Liam gasped rushing into the living room
"The news said our baby was shot twice and rushed to the hospital and didn't make it" Fiona cried "Oh no poor Michael he lost both his wife and newborn on the same day" She gasped "We have to go to California and be there for him, he loved our daughter so much" She continued
"Are you sure Veronica didn't make it? She's not a quitter she's a fighter she'll fight for her and her babies life" Liam mentioned "But yes we'll go to the airport now" he agreed and grabbed his car keys while Fiona locked the backdoor and closed all windows

By the time Fiona and Liam arrived in California it was noon the next day, they had to wait till there was a flight from Honululu to LA and buy their tickets too
--
"We need a name" Veronica smiled holding her baby with Michael's help, he sat next to her on the hospital bed and helped her to hold the baby without hurting her injuries
"I know" Michael nodded "Look at him, sleeping so peacefully" he mentioned
"Yes he's handsome like his daddy" Veronica smiled looking at her little boy and kissed his cheek
"He's got your blue eyes though" Michael smiled at her
"But everything else is you" Veronica replied and quietly sighed while leaning her head on her husbands shoulder
"Are you tired?" Michael asked her
"No, just a little but that's not it" Veronica replied
"Then what is it?" Michael asked
"I was looking forward to the bonding time with the baby while I was breastfeeding but I can't do that anymore, they put painkillers and anti infection stuff in the IV, that'll end up in the breast milk too and it'll be dangerous for our little guy" Veronica replied and sniffed
