Oliver had sweat dripping down his forehead as he gazed at the baby that he somehow gave birth to.

His body was exhausted, he was so tired and still so sore but nothing compared to the pain he was just in.

Everyone was now stood around the bed, getting a glimpse of the child.

Aliyah had just delivered Oliver's placenta and watched in amazement as the hole closed up and his man bits returned to their rightful place.

She took his legs down from the two pieces of equipment and let him rest.

Vinny could not stop the tears from falling. There was just something so magnificent about seeing his own child and it really affected his emotions.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Duke tore his gaze away from the baby and walked over.

He opened it and was stunned to see almost the whole staff crowding up outside.

He moved and let Jenny and Zachariah through as Panuleon had told the angel what was happening.

Duke gazed at all the anxious faces, wanting to know if Oliver was okay and if the baby was okay.

Hi smiled at the support and decided that it was best to tell them.

"Oliver has given birth to a beautiful baby boy."

Excited talk quickly rose as Duke asked a girl if she could go and inform the news reporters outside.

With a chuckle, he told them to get back to work as he shut the door again.

"He's so small" Oliver whispered, struggling to keep his eyes open.

The baby was a little bigger than some newborns but it was still extremely little and it definitely looked like a newborn.

Vinny wiped his cheeks as he watched Oliver.

"He is," He said before turning his head and kissing him on the lips. "You did so well, I love you so much."

Oliver managed a tired smile.

"I love you too" He whispered.

"Now, you need to get some rest."

Oliver looked back down to the baby, not wanting to miss a moment but Vinny was right, he needed the rest, his body was slowly giving up on him.

"Okay," He breathed and almost instantly, he fell asleep.

Or fainted, Vinny didn't know but Panuleon checked him over, giving his soulmate peace of mind.

"He's okay" Panuleon smiled.

Vinny nodded and moved some hair from his eyes, feeling happy that he was getting the sleep he deserves.

He had hung on, right to the very end.

He then scooped his son up in his arms, watching him squirm but settle into him, feeling safe in his father's embrace.

It just felt natural for him to hold a baby.

He then walked around the bed so everyone could have a better look.

Naturally, Madison was first to get close and make a fuss.

"Vinny, he's so cute" She beamed and stroked his little forehead with her finger. "Can I hold him?"

"Of course," Vinny said and let his mum take his son from his arms.

Duke rested a hand on his shoulder, feeling incredibly proud.

"Bless Oliver," He said, making Vinny look back to his soulmate who was flat out.

"I can't believe he just went through that" Jed said as he got a good look at the baby.

"I know," Duke said but decided that he wanted to hold his grandchild too.

Madison passed him to her husband as Vinny watched with a look of content, twinkling in his eyes.

"I'm just going to clean the baby, he's still a little messy and I don't want him to get cold," Aliyah said as she walked over to Duke.

"Ah yes, do what you have to do" He smiled and handed him to the angel.

Vinny's eyes followed the baby, still not believing that today was the day his son was born.

It felt strange to think that way.

He was now a father and will be for the rest of his life.

After Aliyah cleaned the baby and checked to make sure all the mucus was out his mouth and nose, she wrapped him back up and motioned for Vinny to come over.

"I'm going to give him an injection of vitamin K, do you remember discussing it?"

"Yes," Vinny said, giving her a nod to go ahead.

It's to prevent a rare blood disorder from forming in the newborn.

The angel then prepared the needle and quickly, did what she had to do.

The baby, of course, not understanding why he was hurting, started to cry.

Vinny waited until Aliyah was done before picking him up and slowly rocking him in his arms.

It felt natural for him to want to look after his child and to make him better.

Everyone couldn't believe how cute that looked.

John smiled at how normal it was for the vampire to be holding his grandchild.

"Shhh, it's okay," Vinny said quietly, making the baby slow down his cries and begin to lightly whimper.

He recognised Vinny's voice and hearing something familiar was very soothing.

Panuleon then came over, knowing there was one last thing to do until Vinny could relax and get to know his little one.

"I'm just going to rest my hand on his chest and listen to his breathing and heart rate, then I'll be checking muscle tone and his reflex response."

Vinny nodded as the angel got on with what he had to.

There was a real buzz in the room as everyone could barely take their eyes off of such an innocent little bundle of life.

It's a shame Oliver was sleeping but he needed it and he can wake up to a well checked over baby.

After Panuleon checked everything, Corey came over to have a look.

"He's adorable," He said while inspecting his tiny fingers and his tiny fingernails.

Vinny smiled happily, still stunned that it happened so fast.

"Have you thought of a name yet?" Zachariah asked as Jenny was trying so hard to keep back her excitement.

"Not really, I'll wait until Oliver wakes and then we can talk about it."

"Jed, could you go into the boys room and get the crib?" Madison asked, knowing it was time to feed the baby and then he needed somewhere to sleep while Oliver is still in here.

They didn't want to move him in fear of waking him up.

"Yes, of course," Jed said before showing his wings and taking the quick route.

"Vinny, is it okay if you could take Oliver's t-shirt off and rest the baby against him? It's very important for the baby to have skin-to-skin contact with him. Also, we'll get the bottle ready for him to drink" Aliyah said as she turned and started preparing things.

Vinny handed the baby to someone who hadn't held him yet, which was Corey. He then proceeded to carefully and gently pull Oliver's t-shirt off.

He stirred a little bit but he was definitely not waking up anytime soon.

He positioned Oliver's arms as Corey placed the baby within them.

Immediately, the baby reacted to his warm and started moving his head and sucking.

"He's ready for his first bottle" Madison smiled. This was definitely a day to remember.

Her phone was getting hounded with texts and calls as everyone had heard from the news reporters that Oliver gave birth to a baby boy.

But she was ignoring them for now.

When Aliyah was done, she handed Vinny the bottle.

He turned and with an arm around Oliver's arms, giving the baby extra support, he carefully pushed the teat of the bottle into his mouth and instantly, he started sucking away.

"Oh and the baby weighs eight and a half pounds" Aliyah added with a smile.

The baby was perfect without a single thing wrong with him.

He really is a miracle child.

Four hours later.

Vinny was lying on the bed in the first aid room. Oliver was still sleeping next to him with his head resting against his Vampires shoulder.

The baby was sleeping in the crib next to the bed.

It now had a nappy on that took Vinny a while to figure out how to put it on.

It had a cute black babygrow on, obviously Vinny's choice, and a little hat.

Everyone was still in the room but made themselves more comfortable as Corey was sitting on the end of the bed.

There was enough room for him and he was still heavily pregnant.

Panuleon was standing next to him with his hands on his bump. After meeting their baby, he couldn't wait to meet his own.

Vinny was gently running his fingers through Oliver's hair as he gazed at his child.

It was so hard to take his gaze away from him.

He was so beautiful.

Madison and Duke had been on the phone a lot.

Their family and friends were over the moon and couldn't wait to meet the baby.

Jasper asked if he could come round but Madison made it clear that they didn't want any visitors until the baby shower which was in a few days.

Oliver and Vinny needed time to get to know the little one and they didn't need to be overwhelmed with visitors.

Just then, Oliver moved his head.

Vinny looked down to see that he was slowly rubbing his eyes.

"Oliver?" He asked, feeling his body lean into him more.

He groaned quietly.

His body was weak and still tired.

He felt a moment of confusion as he almost forgot that he gave birth, but when the recent events flooded his mind, he felt a jolt of sudden excitement.

His eyes flickered open to see that he was still in the first aid room.

He had a light sheet over him that rested over his empty baby bump.

He could feel warmth underneath him and knew he was laying on Vinny.

"The baby" He mumbled.

"He's okay, he's sleeping" Vinny whispered as everyone watched Oliver.

"He's okay?" Oliver asked and tried sitting up, but he had little strength.

"He's perfect."

They both connected their gaze and Oliver could see, hidden deep within, a new little shine to Vinny's eyes.

He then looked at the crib and his heart burst with pride.

There laid the sweetest little newborn, curled up in a blanket.

The look on Oliver's face spoke a thousand words.

"Look at him" He whispered as a tear was brought to his eye. "He looks like you."

Vinny smiled at this, but it was true.

The baby did have a little frown and he was dressed all in black.

"Here, let me help," Vinny said and helped Oliver sit up.

It was slow, but he was feeling okay.

Everyone in the room was beaming from ear to ear.

What a happy day.

"How're you feeling?" Vinny asked as he put an arm around him and let Oliver cuddle into his side.

"Better" He smiled although Vinny could feel that he was very tired, weak and a little run down.

"How're you doing?"

"Good" Vinny said before kissing his temple.

They sat for a couple of minutes as Oliver's mind played over the birth of his child.

Thank god for Panuleon.

He would be in horrendous pain if it wasn't for his healing powers.

"Oliver, I've been dying to ask," Corey said, snapping him from his thoughts. "But have you come up with a name?"

Vinny looked at his soulmate as he stared back.

They both then looked at their sleeping child as a name they had previously discussed started making it's way up their throats.

"There's one that just pops into my head when I look at him," Oliver said and Vinny knew what name he was talking about.

"Rayvon," They said together.

They both gazed at each other once more.

"I like it," Vinny said. It was an ancient Vampires name but for some reason, they knew it was right.

"Me too" Oliver smiled.

Everyone thought it suited the little newborn.

"So, is that his name?" John asked with a big grin.

The boys hesitated, but not for very long before nodding.

"Yes, that's his name" Oliver smiled as Vinny agreed.

"Rayvon Vanderwood."
