Caleb shook his head tiredly "I didn't... I just laid here." Caleb said with a weak smile. Caleb looked past Zach to where their son was and frowned a little "You should be with him... I'll be okay here, promise... I have a whole bunch of doctor's and nurses around that can keep me company."

Zach nodded, reluctant to go, but he did - entering the attached secondary surgical room where their son was being examined.

It was nearing five PM when the family of three were finally reunited once again. Caleb had been given a clean bill of health, even his heart rate was stabilizing back to his normal pre-pregnancy rate - meaning he would be able to resume all normal activity once the cesarean wound healed up properly.

Their son, who was still unnamed as of yet, also returned to Zach and Caleb with a clean bill of health - Yes, he was a little underweight at a month premature, but there was no doubt that he'd easily gain that weight if he was fed regularly. Which is what the newborn was doing right at that moment, suckling contently on Caleb and getting all of the nutrients that Caleb could provide.

Caleb looked up at Zach with a tired smile "He still needs a name, you know..." Caleb whispered as he stroked the back of the newborn's head - he had thick black hair already, but very short and baby soft.
