Zach's eyes filled with tears as he looked at the screaming baby and his beautiful boyfriend. He vaguely heard Dr. Evans but it took her asking a second time before it registered and he nodded, taking the scissors and cutting through the much tougher than it looked umbilical cord. He pressed a kiss to the baby's head before a nurse scooped the baby back up.
"He needs to go get checked out by the NICU team and then we can hopefully bring him right back. Dad, you can come with him if you want."
Zach looked at Caleb and then at the baby, torn with where he should be. He wanted to follow his son, but he promised Caleb he would stay with him and Caleb wasn't completely out of the woods yet.
"I ... I don't know."
"We'll be right over here," the nurse said, pointing to the team. "Come over when you're ready."
Zach nodded and took Caleb's hand again, using a towel to wipe the streaks of blood off Caleb's face. He smiled gleefully at him. "You did it!"
