Together and Forever

Chapter 101 — Name! Name! Name!

Mason hardly escaped from hands of relatives wanting to embrace him, and rushed toward Theda and Christy as if Theda was his favorite aunt.
"How is my daughter?" Theda anxiously asked.
"Mason, who we have?" Christie just danced with impatience.
"Boy! And the mother and the son are fine, just wonderful!"
"Great! Means I have the nephew! Mason, my congratulations!" Crusty hugged him. "Where is the happy mom now?"
"She's probably already moved to her room," Mason said carefully freed from the grip of his mother-in-law who crying from happiness and mumbling. "Theda, are you okay?"
"I touched by your concern, I'm fine. I just already stop to hope to have grandchildren."
"Mom, let's go to Mary. I want to see my sister!"
"Tell her that I'll be back soon," Mason said and returned to Capwells. "All right, the circus is over. You can go home."
"Mason, how you can!" he heard the chorus of reproachful voices.
"The nail on the head, huh?"
"You'll receive the nail now, nasty big brother!" Kelly blazed with righteous wrath, but her eyes were laughing. "How can you send us home? We're not congratulated Mary yet!"
"Well, this is a sacred thing," he accepted. "But not earlier than I do. And if someone will make sure that my older children had been fed, I'll do the patronage of this person as favor."
"I am taking Sami," Sophia grabbed the girl and carried her towards the hospital cafe.
"Me too," Kelly following her.
"Chip, go to Grandpa," CC Capwell could not resist too. "Mason, what's look like your son!"
"He look likes Cruz" almost escaped from Mason, and he so frightened that he almost blurted out the whole truth. He felt sudden the chill by the fact that his willing to tell his father the true, almost destroyed all his life. Especially since he never saw similarities in Chip with him and someone. The boy is belongs to Mason, and that was enough. He looked at CC and Ted's backs while they leave to feed Chip.
"Mason, what's wrong?" Eden asked who was silent until this moment. "Something wrong?"
"No... Just some nervous. I... I was so afraid that I'll lose her!" he suddenly said.
Eden stand, leaning on her crutch, and put her hand on his shoulder.
"It's over. You have the wonderful son, and Mary is with you."
He slowly smiled.
"Do you not succumb to my provocation."
"Well, I always knew that I'm your favorite younger sister," Eden smiled in response.
"I am glad that you are wise to keep that information to yourself," in Mason's eyes flashed devilish twinkle. "Okay, let's go, favorite sister. Overwise soon the rest comes back and reveal us."

Almost the entire conversation with her mother and sister, Mary could not escape from worried thoughts about Mason. She kept glancing at the door, wondering why he's not here.
"Mary, where is the baby?" Christie snatched her from her thoughts. "When they'll bring him here?"
"The doctor said that after half an hour. Soon."
"Do you know how you want to name him?"
"Yes, Mary, what have you decided about his name?"
"Nothing yet... Mason, where are you?"
"Here!" sounded from the door, and Mary's shining.
"Hi!" He quickly comes to her and gladly embraced. "Thank God, finally!"
"Absolutely agree with you," Mary hugged him, amazed at how easily his presence and touches can wash away all her worries, and give her feel that she's loved.
Someone's cough came from the door, and Mason reluctantly tore himself away from his wife.
"Here is the person who wants to see you," he said.
"Eden! I'm glad to see you!" Mary gladly said.
"I am very glad too!"
It was during the exchange of greetings the door of room opened, and nurse wheeled the crib for newborns, where lying Mary's baby. The nurse picks up the baby from the crib and gently gave Mary. She took the boy with awe.
"He's so sweetie!" Christy exclaimed. "I swear I'll make Jimmy to give me directly the same!"
"No, let him give you the different one," Mary retorted, not looking at her sister. "And preferably after yours wedding. By the way, when you'll make it?"
"Coming soon," she seriously answered. "We almost stated the date."
Mason sat down next to Mary, looking at the tiny hands and eyebrows of his baby.
"It's a miracle!" escaped from him.
"This is our miracle!" Mary corrected and put the baby in his hands. Mason froze, afraid to move. Then he looked at his son. He had huge dark brown eyes, something like the eyes of Sammy. Mason could not move away his eyes; son's eyes seemed to stare straight into his soul.
But the moment of mystic passed, the boy winced and yawned. Eden giggled.
"He just likes you in baby age!"
"You cannot know. It's me who wiping your nose when you were in baby age!"
Eden slapped her palm on his hand and whispered Theda: "Let's leave them alone.
She according nodded, but went reluctantly. And even more reluctantly leave Christie. But when all three finally came out, Mason lets out the sigh of relief.
"Finally! It's true, we do not have much time together," he grimaced. "Soon there will be the crowd of my family with my children."
"Poor Mason," Mary pitied. "Do not worry, they leave us in peace very soon."
"I can not wait," he handed the boy to Mary with some regret. She gently put him to her breast, recalling the recommendations that she gave new mommies for long ago in the charity clinic. She did though not the first time, but succeeded. The baby funny smacked lips.
"How we'll name him?" Mason asked, enchanted looking at them. "I think we never discussed the question."
"It seems we did not. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Let's name him Matthew."
Mary paused, lower her head. After waiting several minutes, Mason said: "You do not like?"
Mary sighed.
"I know that you liked that name. And I know that you wanted to name our son Matt... But... it's name of our baby who never make it... I do not want to name this baby just like him."
"So we'll not," Mason gently squeezed her hand. "We name him with different name. For example... Scotty? Colin? Richard? Oswald?"
"Or Michael?"
"Michael?" Mason doubly looked at her. "Michael... Mike... Mickey... May be. It's sound good."
"Michael Capwell--"
"Michael Kenneth Capwell--"
"Kenneth? Do you want to name our son after my father?" Mary's eyes filled with tears. "Oh Mason!"
"Yes, I want it. Do you mind?"
"No! Oh my God, of course not!"
"Then it's officially. Michael Kenneth Capwell. Welcome to our family!" Mason lightly touched his lips the tiny forehead. "Hey, Mickey. I am your daddy--"
