9 Months Later

Lui P.O.V

I stand outside the room as I watch Mercy in the hospital bed. Spenser holds her hand tightly, and the doctors around her are working furiously on the machines and on keeping her calm. She screams, and I cringe a bit. Jon walks up behind me, and puts his hand on my shoulder. I look up at him. "Do you think she's okay?" I ask, and he looks in at Mercy and Spenser. "Yeah, I mean, she has Spenser with her, so she cant really get hurt can she?" He says, and then he glances down at me with a smile. I grin. "Yeah, I guess you're right."  I shrug. Then Mercy starts screaming again. "How long has she been in labour?" Jon asks, and I shrug. I dunno. Maybe six, seven hours?" I look in at her, and Spenser looks out at me. He smiles at me, then winces when Mercy squeezes the hell out of his hand. She keeps screaming, and the doctors run to her side. They swarm around her, and me and Jon's view is blocked. I sigh. I hope this ends soon. I want to go home. Im tired. But Mercy having a baby is a great thing. Jon puts his arm around my shoulder, and I lean into him. "You tired, Lui?" He asks, looking down at me. I nod, and then yawn. "I just wanna go home, Jon. I know that its kind of selfish of me, but I just want to go home." Jon rubs my head. "Its not selfish, Lui. Youre still a kid. You've been through so much in your life that other kids wouldnt even dream of. I can understand why you would just want to go home and stay there." I nod. I love Jon. He understands me more than my own brother does. But in my eyes, Jon is my brother. He always has been. And he always will be. I love him. Then I hear Mercy scream loudly, and then it stops. My eyes widen as I look through the window. Jon and I both press ourselves against it, intently searching for some hint as to whats happening. Then one of the doctors turns away, and I smile. Mercy is holding a small baby in her arms, and Spenser and she are crying with joy. Spenser strokes the baby's head, and Mercy looks up at him. She smiles, and kisses him. Then they look out at Jon and me. We smile, and then Spenser walks out. As he walks out the door into the hallway, I jump over to him. "Spenser! Hows Mercy? Whats the baby?!" I ask, and he puts his hands on my shoulders, making me stop jumping. "Lui, calm down. The baby is a boy. Mercy and I are so happy. She's fine, and we can go and see her after the baby is taken from the maternity ward. So in a few hours." I nod, and Jon hugs Spenser. "Congrats, Spens. You're gonna be a great dad." I smile. "Yeah. You are." Spenser looks down at me. He grins. "Thanks, Lui." Then he glances back up to Jon. "And Jon. You'll make a great uncle." Jon shrugs. "Maybe. We'll see." I laugh, and then we go to wait to see Mercy.

I walk down the hall, with Jon right behind me. Spenser had gone back to be with Mercy about an hour ago. But now we could go see her, and we could see the new baby. We walk down to the maternity ward, and as we walk, I get more and more excited. I jump around a bit, and Jon snickers. "Lui, if you dont calm down, you're going to scare the baby." I glance over to him. "Nah." I smile, and we walk into the room. Mercy sits with the baby in her arms, and she looks up as we walk in. "Lui! Jon! Its good to see you both." She says softly, and I slowly walk over to her. I hug her, and then look down at the small child in her arms. "So, its a boy?" I ask, and she nods. "Yes. Its a boy." Jon steps forward. "What bare you going to name him?" He asks, and I turn to look at her inquisitively. She looks up at Spenser and smiles. "Oh, we had some names picked out, but we've chosen one." Spenser smiles, and puts his arms around Mercy. I look from him to Mercy. "So, what's his name?" I ask, and they smile. Mercy looks at me, then down at her baby. "Evan. His name is Evan Canton."
