✪ Episode 27| Baby Davenport
In the command center.
Chase and Harper are talking while Chase transfers information from Mighty Med's former patient files to the headquarters data center
"Okay back to the topic" Harper points to the monitor with her head "What are you going to do with this information?" Harper asks, Chase presses their lips together.
"I never thought I'd say this, but Perry may have shown us something. And it's one more point in our favor" Chase says, Harper frowns.
"The answer is right in front of us and no one sees it" Chase says seriously.
"If Perry hadn't been arrested for...a lot of things, where would she be?" Chase says, Harper shakes her head.
"Perry was supposed to be free. Living an ordinary human life like she always did. Superhumans have lived on this planet for centuries...they had lives, families...us, bionics too." Chase gets up.
"Adam is about to be the world's first bionic human to have a child! " Chase says, "Superhumans have become a generous part of the population of this planet..." Harper thinks "And the government treats them like intruders" Chase says.
"What about those like Perry who never discovered their super powers and live normally among the normo population. By any chance is Bram going to arrest them too when he finds them, and if he does?...what's left?" Chase crosses his arms seriously.
"You have a point. But what can we do Chase? Throw it in Bram's face so he can ignore us and arrest us ? We can have all these facts on paper but there is nothing we can do because no one listens to us!" Harper says.
"We're going to make them listen!" Chase says "They won't!" Harper shakes her head, Chase runs his tongue over his teeth thoughtfully, "They won't, We know that" Harper says.
"That didn't stop you a year ago" Chase says "And look at everything it cost us" Harper says, Chase takes a deep breath "It was different. It cost us our freedom the... The next step could cost us our lives" Harper says.
Chase looks her in the eyes and sees how scared she is, "Every breath we take alarms Bram and the government. It's a shit. But have you ever thought about the disaster that could happen if we decide to face it for real?" Harper says firmly "Believe me I did" Chase says.
Harper sighs "Whatever you're thinking of doing... stop! I say this as someone who has been in your shoes" Harper says, Chase frowns "This just proves that there are many more people out there who need our help and our support. We can't leave them hanging Captain" Harper says firmly.
Chase nods "I completely agree" Chase says obviously everyone sees this situation in different ways. And different solutions.
However, Harper is affected by fear while Chase has the situation figured out in his head and tries not to get attached to his feelings, otherwise he won't be able to act when necessary, but he still fights for the greater good.
"Good" Harper sighs, Chase goes back to focusing on the monitor and Harper gets up and leaves after gently running her hands down his back. Chase leans back in his chair and passes his hand over his forehead in thought.

The next day.
Harper, Bree and Skylar are talking in the living room while Kaz is in the kitchen stacking glasses to eliminate boredom when Leo walks in holding Grace's purse.
Leo has an impatient look on his face "Oh you guys are here" Bree says "I guess what happened to you?" Harper asks Leo "I'm shocked Harper, Shocked!!" Leo shouts.
Harper wipes her face "How did your spit get to me? I'm literally on the other side of the room" Harper says confused looking around.
"Why are you shocked?" Skylar asks "I'm shocked at what pregnancy does to a person" Leo abruptly drops Grace's purse on the counter knocking over Kaz's stack of glasses "Oh Man!' Kaz complains.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Bree says "Well..." Leo says and Grace pushes the door "Wow, I wish there was someone with a bionic arm to hold the door for me instead of making small talk!" Grace says annoyed.
"Never mind" Bree says frustrated "Hey Grace how's it going?" Skylar says "Apart from this overdue child and this unbearable pain in my back and hearing Leo's annoying voice that seems to get thinner with each word and makes me want to rip my ears out...I'm fine!" Grace says.
"Wow" Skylar says "Where's Grace?" Leo says scared "I confess I'm scared" Kaz says "I want sweet Grace back" Leo says devastated.
Harper scoffs "I always knew having sex with Adam was a bad idea, I was right, you see" Harper says, Grace glares at her "You don't want to mess with me Harper, not today!!" Grace says irritated
"No ma'am" Harper says walking away, Adam walks in "Hey Honey are you here" Adam says.
Grace looks at him angrily "You!" Grace points "Like you haven't already done enough!" Grace says, Adam frowns.
"What are you talking about?" Adam asks "This! This is all your fault!! It's yours and that damn perfect body of yours!" Grace says annoyed, Bree cringes in disgust, Harper presses her lips together trying not to laugh "Well thanks?" Adam shrugs "You're not supposed to feel flattered!!" Grace shouts.
Grace sighs and sits on the couch "I feel terrible, when will this end?" Grace whimpers "Wasn't the baby supposed to be born already?" Skylar asks "Yup, we went to the doctor today, she's late" Leo says.
Greca throws her head back and groans "Is there anything I can do to help?" Adam asks "Like what?" Harper asks "I don't know, I put him there, maybe I can take him out too" Adam says, everyone looks at each other "Okay..." Harper chuckles "I don't think that's how it works, Adam" Harper says.
"At least not that easy" Kaz says "I just want this to end soon...I'm totally ready for the next phase!" Grace says "Sure you're are" Harper says trying to comfort her.
"Get out. Get out. Get out!!" Grace says towards her belly "Why do you want to stay there when there's a beautiful world out here for you?" Grace whimpers, Adam sits next to her and hugs her.
"Relax Grace, I'm sure the baby will be born soon" Bree says with a friendly smile, while Adam caresses Grace's head "Are you a doctor?" Grace asks "No" Bree says "So be quiet!" Grace says, Adam makes a scared face due to his girlfriend's behavior.
Bree throws up her hands and walks away "Yeah, we should think of a medium tho...one who knows how to give birth to a baby that's half human and half pure evil!" Kaz says, Leo nods.

In the training area Oliver is training with a dummy.
Skylar watches him from the doorway for a while, she bites her fingernails anxiously.
She takes a deep breath and walks in. "Oliver," Skylar says softly, Oliver stops training. He sighs "Hey Babe. Is it time for our date yet?" Oliver looks at the clock, Skylar bites her lip and looks down.
"Actually I...I want to talk to you. Can I?" Skylar points to a bench nearby, Oliver frowns "Uh of course" Oliver says and the two head towards the bench.
The two sit down and Skylar tucks her hair behind her ear "Is everything okay?" Oliver asks "yes. I just..." Skylar thinks.
Skylar sighs "I love you..." Skylar smiles, Oliver smiles slightly "I love you too" Oliver says and holds her hand, Skylar looks at him with pity.
"And know that it's real, I will always love you and I always have...but..." Skylar says hesitantly, Oliver looks at her worriedly "Oh no, there's a but" Oliver says.
"I'm so sorry Oliver..." Skylar says, Oliver sighs and closes his eyes "did I do something?" Oliver says he already understands the message.
"No of course not! You were the best boyfriend in the world!" Skylar says holding his face "But a lot has changed since we started dating, we've been through a lot and everything has changed...I've changed" Skylar says.
Oliver looks at her, swallowing his tears "I've changed, and I haven't even had the chance to find out who I am. I need to know" Skylar says upset.
Oliver frowns "Is it because of Finn?" Oliver asks "What? No... it's because of me" Skylar says sincerely.
"I'll understand if it's..." Oliver says "Oliver. Pay attention...because when I said I love you, I mean It" Skylar says, there are different types of love, and she knows that she feels some type of love for him. But it is indeterminate for her to say which one.
"Me too" Oliver says with a tear running down his face, Skylar wipes it away with her thumb "Believe me, I didn't want to do that. But I need to find myself again" Skylar says swallowing hard.
Oliver nods "I understand...I think I need this too" Oliver says lowering his head, Skylar tries to look him in the eyes "I dedicated a lot of time to you, just you. Years of my life. I think I got lost along the way" Oliver says.
"I wouldn't trade the time we spent together for anything" Skylar smiles, Oliver chuckles "They were the best years of my life" Oliver says "Maybe there's something much better ahead Oliver" Skylar says.
"With you?" Oliver asks "Maybe" Skylar says, she really doesn't rule out the possibility, Oliver sighs "I already feel like I won, I thought it would never be possible to have what we had in those years" Oliver says "You see, learn not to belittle yourself like that. Take that time for this" Skylar says.
Oliver smiles slightly at her, Skylar leans in slightly, Oliver gently cups her face, and kisses her softly and Skylar kisses her back firmly.
Oliver breaks the kiss "Uh, can we at least go on this last date... I already made the reservation at the bar and you know how picky Mercy is about that" Oliver says, Skylar chuckles "Okay, one last date then" Skylar smirk and hugs him.

Next Day. At Davenport Tower.
Grace enters the room and sees Leo, Finn and Daniel standing in front of the door "Surprise!" They say, Grace notices that the cake, sweets and gifts and balloons in the kitchen.
"What is this?" Grace asks "Well, we couldn't help but notice your bad mood about... everything. So we decided to make you relax a little" Finn says "With a baby shower!!" Leo says excitedly "Yey." Daniel says sarcastically, Finn hits him "I mean...Yey!" Daniel says more excitedly.
"A baby shower?" Grace raises her eyebrow "Yes, with everything a baby shower requires" Daniel says "We have sweets, gifts and everything with a baby theme here" Finn says.
Leo smiles "Did you love it?" Leo asks "A baby shower usually has other girls" Grace says heading towards the couch "Really? Wouldn't that be a bachelor party then?" Daniel asks "Dude" Finn hits him.
"It's true, baby showers have women..." Grace says, Leo gasps "Don't be sexist! Guys can throw just as good a baby shower" Leo says "Do you know what it's like to be a pregnant girl?" Grace asks.
"Why don't you just accept our gesture of kindness?" Daniel says "Especially because Dan and I spent two hours in the kitchen just to make the cake!" Finn says "Strawberry cake, your favorite" Daniel says.
Grace sighs "I'm sorry guys. It's just that I feel so uncomfortable and terrible and Adam can't even be with me all the time" Grace buries her face in her hands.
"But we're here!" Leo says "And we have strawberry cake!" Finn says singy songy, Grace giggles "Oh Oh she smiled!" Daniel says "You guys are incredible" Grace opens her arms to hug the three of them.
"Look sweet Grace is back" Leo says, Grace laughs more "I love you boys" Grace says excitedly.

At the Motorage bar, Oliver is alone at the counter swirling a bottle of beer thoughtfully when Kaz walks in.
"Hey Man, what are you doing here alone?" Kaz asks, Oliver is crestfallen "Skylar and I broke up" Oliver leaves upset.
Kaz sighs upset for his friend "Oh Oliver..." Kaz hugs his friend "I'm sorry" Kaz says, Oliver sniffs "No, it's okay. I kind of expected that" Oliver says.
"What do you mean?" Kaz asks "I kind of...suffocated her. and trapped us both in something that...Was not working like it should" Oliver says "You looked perfect together" Kaz says.
"Maybe the old Oliver and the old Skylar were perfect. But they got separated in that prison, and they stayed there" Oliver leans on the counter.
"I know what it's like. That changed everything" Kaz says reflectively, thinking about his time in prison "Yes, there's no way to pretend that nothing changed, at least you and Bree changed together. But Skylar and I didn't" Oliver says.
Kaz looks at him with pity "But Skylar is right, I don't even know who got out of that prison. I realized that I don't even know what this guy wants" Oliver says,Kaz makes an ironic pout "And for the first time in his life what this guy wants isn't Skylar?" Kaz asks.
"Not that I don't love her but...I just feel disconnected from her, and she from me...." Oliver swallows hard "And she might have another guy" Oliver says, Kaz presses his lips together knowing this "I don't know" Oliver puts his hands on his face.
"Okay I'm in" Kaz says "What?" Oliver asks "Let's find out your path, your goal. I don't know what the fuck you're after to" Kaz shrugs, Oliver frowns "But I will help you, always" Kaz smiles.
Oliver smiles "You know what they say, girlfriends come and go but thid..." Kaz points to him and Oliver "It's forever" Kaz says, Oliver scoffs "That line is starting to get cliché" Oliver says, Kaz laughs.
"But it's the purest truth, you're my brother" Kaz says "To the bros then!" Oliver takes the rest of the beer in his bottle while Kaz opens another bottle.
"To the Bros!" Kaz smiles and they cheer and take a sip of beer and begin to laugh friendly as Kaz pats Oliver on the back.

In the living room.
Bree and Harper are talking to Skylar "So you really broke up with Oliver?" Bree asks "Yeah, I did" Skylar lowers her head.
Harper scratches the back of her head "Did he know that you and my brother... kissed?" Harper asks hesitantly, Skylar takes a deep breath "Yes, I told him" Skylar says.
"And how did he reacted?" Bree asks "With me...he was fine since I didn't know it was him when the kiss happened" Skylar says "What about my brother?" Harper asks, Skylar presses her lips together "Eh they weren't really friends anyway" Harper shrugs.
"I was honest with Oliver, he felt the same way I did. And it had nothing to do with Finn" Skylar says, Bree and Harper exchange looks.
"Sure, no one said it had anything to do with it" Harper says, Bree agrees "And seriously, I want to be alone. I mean I need some time for myself" Skylar says "I completely agree. Everyone needs time for themselves," Harper says.
"I know things have been confusing Sky. I felt all of this after prison, why do you think Kaz and I took so long to start dating? It was an adjustment period. You need yours" Bree hugs Skylar.
Skylar nods "I hope Oliver wasn't very upset" Skylar says "Well, it's Oliver I can't imagine any universe in which he would be mad at you" Bree smirk.
Skylar sighs "But we're still friends..." Skylar says thoughtfully "You'll always be friends, don't worry about that" Harper says, Skylar smiles at the two friends.
"Why don't we start this time for you with a girls' night out huh?" Bree suggests "I'm in!" Harper smiles, Skylar giggles "That would be the perfect way to start" Skylar says, Harper and Bree hug Skylar to comfort her.

At Davenport Tower.
Grace is with the boys at her baby shower, she is opening gifts.
She takes a bag and starts to open it but stops when she feels a strong pain "Ow" she says softly "Is everything ok?" Leo asks in distress "Mm-hmm" Grace says with a pained face, she takes a deep breath and the pain goes away.
She opens the gift and from inside the bag she takes out a little black cap "Aawww oh my god, how cute. It's just like Adam's cap!" Grace says looking at the monitor cap "That was mine" Daniel says "My nephew wants to walk with style, just like his father" Daniel winks.
Grace giggles "Thanks, I loved it!" Grace says "Here, open this" Finn hands her a box, before taking the box Grace puts her hand on her belly and makes a pained face "Agh!" Grace says in pain.
"Grace, you're not okay... that's a contraction!" Leo says looking at the timer, he had noticed the contractions for a while and decided to time the spacing between them.
"It's not, it's just..." Grace is interrupted by another contraction "... Okay... maybe" Grace says in pain, the boys get up scared "Is it time?" Daniel asks.
"No...The contractions pass..." Grace screams in pain and stops with a gasp "Grace, what happened?" Daniel asks "I think my water broke!" Grace says with wide eyes, Finn and Daniel look at Leo "Oh my God!" Leo says "Leo what do we do?!" Finn asks.
Leo sighs "Okay, mission alert guys! Let's have a baby! Now!" Leo says firmly.
"Give the orders mission leader!" Daniel says "Okay, Finn open the car." Leo throws the key to Finn and runs away "Daniel takes Grace's bag from her closet, it's the big blue one" Leo says, Daniel goes up the stairs.
"Grace, come on, I'll help you up" Leo says "Leo, no. I'm not ready!" Grace says "The puddle of water on our expensive sofa says something else mom!" Leo says "No, I'm fine" Grace says nervously.
Leo can see her look of terror, Daniel goes down with his suitcase and Finn comes in with his high-tech skates that he used to get to the car faster "The bag" Daniel says "The car is ready" Finn says, they walk up to Leo and Grace.
"Grace, come on!" Leo tries to pull her off the couch "No no no NO!" Grace begins to despair "Grace, it's time" Leo says "Leo, I-I'm scared" Grace says with a tear running down her face.
Leo holds her hand while Finn and Daniel stand on either side of her shoulders "I'm too scared, I can't do this" Grace says scared, Leo takes a deep breath "Don't lie. You always say that lying it's ugly" Leo says "I'm not ugly!" Grace says offended "Then tell me the truth, you can do it!" Leo says firmly.
Grace breathes quickly with fear "Leo, I..." Grace says "Grace! You are one of the strongest girls I know, if not the strongest. You are capable of anything" Leo says looking into her eyes "Yes I am!" Grace smiles.
"And now you're going to be a Mom!" Leo says "Yes!" Grace smiles sweetly "Okay let's go!" Leo helps her get up "Daniel take the bag to the car" Leo says and Daniel leaves.
"Ahh it hurts!" Grace agonizes with another contraction "I know" Finn says "No, you don't know!" Grace says as they lead them towards the door "Yeah but what do you want me to say? I'm just trying to help!" Finn says.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
They go down to the garage, Grace whimpers in pain "Calm down Grace, everything will be fine" Leo says.
Finn and Grace get in the back seat "Are you comfortable?" Finn says "I haven't been comfortable in months Finn!" Grace says in agony with pain "True, stupid question" Finn says helping her adjust herself in the seat.
Daniel and Leo get in the front seat, Leo starts the car "Come on, destination..." Leo turns on the GPS "Nearest hospital" Daniel says, Grace has another contraction "Hold my hand" Grace tells Finn "Of course" Finn holds her hand "Ahg!! I want Adam with me" Grace says in the middle of a sob, scared.
Leo thinks for a moment, he starts driving fast leaving the garage and squealing tires, Grace squeezes Finn's hand.
"Oh Shiiii... ok you're in a difficult time and there's no comparison to the pain you're feeling right now but..." Finn says, Grace crushes his hand more "Ahh since when you have super strength?!!" Finn squeals.
Leo accelerates the car "Come On!" Daniel says "I'm going as fast as I can!" Leo says changing gear.
Grace has another contraction "Leo!" Grace shouts "Calm down, there's the hospital!" Daniel points out, Leo passes directly by the hospital "Dude, what are you doing? the hospital was the other way!" Daniel says confused.
"I won't allow my brother to miss the birth of his son" Leo says finally, Grace sighs with a smile "Yey!" She says weakly "There's no time Leo!" Finn says, wiping Grace's sweat with a cloth.
"Trust me" Leo says focused on the street, they leave the city and enter the desert road towards the location of the plane carrier.

At Mighty Force headquarters.
Chase, Adam and Harper were at the command center managing the missions until they receive an emergency signal from the headquarters' medical wing.
"Why are we getting a notification from the medical wing?" Harper asks "I don't know" Chase says, Horace rushes in "Vice Captain Adam!" Horace says, Adam gets up.
"It's time...you're going to be a father" Horace says and runs off to the medical wing, Harper and Chase smile and Adam gasps incredulously.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
They run to the corridors of the medical wing.
Grace lies down on a stretcher to be taken to the living room, there are Leo, Finn and Daniel accompanying her.
"Grace!" Adam says, Grace smiles when she sees her boyfriend "Adam" Grace says as Adam gently holds her hand "We're going to have a baby Honey" Grace says excitedly "Yes!" Adam says and kisses her lightly.
Bree, Kaz, Skylar, Douglas, Melody and Mr Davenport quickly arrive.
"It's happening, I'm going to be a grandpa!" Mr Davenport says "Donald please, don't make this moment be about you" Melody says "Yeah Donny. Technically I'm going to be grandpa" Douglas says and Mr Davenport glares at him indignantly, Melody hits her husband's arm annoyed.
"Adam, tell me it's going to be okay" Grace says scared, Adam holds her hand "It's going to be okay" Adam says softly kissing her forehead "I love you" Grace says her cheeks are pink and warm, Adam smiles "I love you too Smiley Face" Adam says.
Horace approaches with two other nurses "Are you ready?" Horace asks, Adam and Grace look at each other and smile "I've never been so ready" Adam says, Grace smiles and nods.
"I'm surprised Adam, that you're not freaking out" Bree says "Oh believe me, I am" Adam says with a calm smile on his face, as if the whole situation kind of numbed him from the freakout and nervousness that he is feeling.
Grace holds her belly with a pained face "Another contraction!" Grace says in agony "We've waited too long, let's go" Horace says taking Grace's stretcher to the living room and Adam goes with them.
"Good luck!" Chase says "You can do it Grace!" Harper says with Chase pulling her close to him "It's going to be okay remember you can do anything!" Leo says taking about three steps forward.
Leo presses his lips together feeling a strange feeling of emptiness for having just lost something and at the same time a feeling of accomplishment, but he immediately misses it.
He knows that the moments he spent with Grace and that he pretended to be the father, and the companion of a pregnant girl that he took care of and that distracted him from his personal problems would end there.
However, following an entire pregnancy closely and not being the guy in the birth room with her also gave him a strange feeling of lacking an end to it all. But now it was time to stop pretending and start putting himself in the role that really belongs to him. An uncle awaiting the birth of his nephew.
Everyone sits in the waiting room, Bree can't stop smiling "I'm going to be an aunt!" Bree says excitedly to Kaz "And you're going to be the best" Kaz hugs her, Bree giggles "You're literally going to be the cool aunt, I can see that. It's you that the boy will come to ask for advice, talk about girls and stuff" Kaz says, Bree smiles laying on his shoulder.
Daniel sits next to Leo "How are you, Buddy?" Daniel says, Leo looks anxious "I'm fine" Leo says "Damn everything was so fast" Daniel sighs.
"Guys!" Tasha walks in holding Naomi on her lap "Tasha!" Mr Davenport says "I came as fast as I could as soon as Leo called me" Tasha says as Mr Davenport takes Naomi in his arms.
Finn sits in a chair that was occupied by his mother who got up to talk to Tasha next to Douglas.
Skylar sits next to him, Finn avoids looking to the side. They didn't talk at all about the kiss, they barely spoke after that.
Skylar tucks her hair behind her ear "How are you?" Skylar asks, Finn shrugs briefly at the surprise of her starting a conversation.
"Uh I'm fine, I'm just still agitated from all this rush" Finn says, Skylar nods "And you? How have you been?" Finn asks out of politeness.
"Good.I...I broke up with Oliver" Skylar says, Finn immediately looks at her, it was an uncontrollable reflex and he soon looks ahead again thinking it was too indiscreet, blushing slightly.
"Oh" Finn says "Really that's all you have to say?" He thinks shaking his head. Skylar sighs "Yeah" she says.
Finn closes his eyes "Look if it was my fault, I'm sorry it was never my intention..." "Finn calm down" Skylar interrupts "It wasn't your fault, Oliver and I agreed on that. We just distorted ourselves, and agreed that it would be better for both of us to focus on ourselves again. That's all" Skylar explains.
Finn nods "Okay but...Still about what I said that day...""Finn" Skylar interrupts again with her eyes closed and an impatient sigh "I don't want to talk about this right now, okay?" Skylar says gently, Finn swallows hard.
"Sorry" Finn says lowering his head, Skylar looks at him and gives a slight smirk "Look what I want now. All I really need is a friend...I need support and I want your company" Skylar says, hopeful and afraid of pushing him away.
Finn looks at her, leaning on his knees and tilting his head "Do you want me to be that friend?" Finn asks seriously, Skylar takes a deep breath "I just want you by my side in this confusing moment" Skylar says.
Finn smirk "Why are you asking me this? I never said I would leave your side" Finn shrugs, Skylar smiles wildly but soon composes herself "Thanks" Skylar says.
Finn looks away from her, he doesn't know what to do about her. And he's afraid he's being a fool for her and she'll never give him a chance or she won't feel the same.
Finn thinks about this, staring at the ground when suddenly Skylar brushes his hair away from his forehead, Finn frowns and looks at her confused.
Skylar tugs at the sleeves of her coat nervously "I'm sorry. I like your hair" Skylar blushes and frowns to herself thinking "What the hell was that?".
Finn makes a confused look "Got it" he says, and runs his hand through his hair, Skylar shakes her head to herself while Finn tries to keep his feet on the ground and think that it doesn't mean anything.
Oliver walks in and in the same second Finn gets up from where he was sitting and crosses the corridor to sit next to Leo and Daniel, their not very friendly looks meet in the way, however, they remain silent and Skylar sighs feeling guilty.

A while passed and everyone was still in the waiting room.
Chase and Harper are in chairs further away from the others, Chase lays his head on Harper's lap and touches his hair while they talk quietly, waiting.
"It's taking a while, right?" Chase says worriedly "It hasn't been that long, stay calm" Harper says appreciating the softness of his hair with a calm look.
Chase sighs "Do you believe that from now on we'll have a baby around?" Chase smirk "I believe that, but it's still hard to believe that Adam is the father" Harper laughs.
Chase looks at Harper "Do you think we're going to have a kid one day?" Chase asks, Harper gets goosebumps when she hears this question and she knows exactly the answer "Yes! and she's going to be a sweet and beautiful little girl. You know her" she thinks.
"Do you think we'll be good parents one day?" Harper asks, this question seems to be something more important to be discussed since there is no answer for that.
"Hard to say, lately it's been harder than usual to take care of ourselves" Chase says "We're still alive aren't we?" Harper says.
Chase smirks briefly "I...always wanted to be a father you know" Chase says, Harper frowns and brushes the hair off his forehead "What?" Harper asks.
Chase chuckles "I always imagined myself taking care of...a little girl maybe" Chase says, Harper swallows hard and looks away "I don't know, but it's crossed my mind" Chase says.
"Really? You always seemed to be afraid of this" Harper scoffs "Being cautious is different from not wanting it at all" Chase says, Harper runs her fingers across his cheek "It would be when i would be ready. When we feel ready" Chase says thoughtfully.
"Why didn't you ever tell me that?" Harper says "Cuz we never talked about it like that" Chase says looking up at her.
Harper sighs "I guess I never saw that possibility...until now" Harper says "Well, our lives are a mess. We're a mess, we're definitely not anywhere near ready" Chase chuckles "No, we still have a lot to live before we...settle down" Harper smiles.
"I'm not in the mood to settle down at all" Chase says quietly "Neither am I" Harper chuckles softly, Chase sits up and looks at her in the eyes, his hair messed up by her "But when they time comes, you'll be a perfect father" Harper says softly.
"You never told me if you wanted to be a mother" Chase says, "I didn't. But now that I realized it would be your child, it started to make sense." Harper says, Chase smiles.
"You're going to be a good mother" Chase says looking into her eyes "I'm not so sure" Harper shakes her head, Chase holds her chin "If we take care of our baby like we take care of each other, I'm sure we will be exceptional" Chase smirk.
Harper wrinkles her nose "I believe you" Harper says, Chase pulls her chin and leans in giving her a soft, warm kiss, moving his lips in sync with hers as he moves his hand gently to the back of her head.
They broke the kiss gently, releasing hot air between them and looking into each other's eyes without moving away.
Suddenly everyone stands up when Adam walks out of the birth room. He looks shocked but happy at the same time.
"Then?" Leo asks worriedly "He's here! And he's beautiful, he weighs so much that I don't remember..." Adam says excitedly, everyone looks at each other.
"And he has nine fingers and toes!" Adam says "Nine?" Chase frowns "Wait, Horace said he has them all. One, Two, Three..." Adam counts his own fingers, Harper rolls her eyes "Never mind, he has them all, okay!" Adam gives up.
Everyone smiles excitedly. "What about Grace?" Chase asks "She's great they're taking her to her room but she did well" Adam says still agitated with everything "I'm so proud of you" Harper hugs her best friend.
"We are all proud son" Mr Davenport says and pats his eldest son on the back "I'm proud of myself too" Adam smiles gently, realizing that he has reached a place he never considered himself capable of reaching. Being a father.
◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ❴✪❵ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆
A while later in Adam's room where Grace was taken to rest.
She holds the baby in her arms sitting on the bed and Adam sits next to her to calmly look at his son's face.
"Look at him Adam" Grace says excitedly "He's perfect" Adam says gently passing his thumb over the baby's cheek.
"He looks like you" Adam says, Grace scoffs "What? No way look at that little mouth and that little nose is a miniature of you" Grace says, Adam smiles "But he has rosy cheeks just like you" Adam says, Grace smiles.
"What's his name going to be?" Adam asks "I always imagined that when I had a son he...would be named after my father" Grace caresses the baby's face.
"What was his name?" Adam asks "Evan" Grace looks at him, Adam thinks for a bit.
"Evan?..." Adam begins to remember the group of young people who visited the headquarters and said they were from the future. The oldest of them was called Evan.
"Oooh! Now that makes sense!" Adam says remembering "What?" Grace says "Nothing, it's...an amazing name!" Adam smiles.
"He looks like a Evan" Adam smirk "Yeah right" Grace smiles wildly.
"So, Evan Harrington Davenport? Or Evan Davenport Harrington...Or we can innovate and do his name backwards, Harrington Davenport Evan!" Adam says, Grace laughs.
"Actually, I think just Evan Davenport is a great name" Grace says looking at the baby, Adam smiles at the little boy "Really?" Adam says "Yup!" Grace says.
"Although we can add a middle name..." Grace looks at Adam "The one we agreed on?" Adam asks "Yeah" Grace bites her lip to keep from smiling too much "Sounds perfect to me" Adam says.
Grace rocks the baby so he can stay asleep while Adam looks at her with a twinkle in his eyes, becoming a mother has made her even more beautiful to him.
"What about you?" Adam says "What about me?" Grace asks "Do you want to be Grace Davenport?" Adam says
"Are you serious?!" Grace makes a surprised face, Adam nods and takes a silver ring out of his pocket "I couldn't go to a jewelry store so I took a nut and soldered it to make a ring the size of your finger" Adam says showing her the ring.
"Adam..." Grace smiles "Will you marry me Smiley Face?" Adam asks softly, Grace fills her eyes with tears of joy "Consider me your wife already" Grace says with a gentle smile.
They know that a large ceremony would not be possible at the moment, so the best thing to do would be for the two of them to already consider themselves married in their opinion.
Adam puts the ring on Grace's finger and she giggles happily, Adam leans in and kisses her briefly but firmly, Grace looks at the baby "Look son, mommy and daddy are getting married, yeah we are!" Grace says in baby talk.
Adam smiles intently watching Grace and Evan, their beautiful little family.
Leo knocks lightly on the door and he walks in with the others "Hi" Bree says softly "He's sleeping" Grace says softly.
"Aww he's so cute" Skylar says "And so small" Oliver chuckles kindly "Look at this little guy" Finn says "And to think that this cute little guy was the reason for Grace's bad mood" Daniel says.
"Oh my God, look at him" Harper says holding Chase's arm who smiles proudly.
"Aw Adam he's just like you!" Tasha says putting her hands on her oldest son's shoulder "But he has Grace's hair, how beautiful" Melody says.
"Look at this little Davenport" Mr Davenport says "Adam congratulations you are officially the world's first bionic father" Douglas smiles proudly.
"Uh can I hold him?" Bree asks "Of course, if there is someone to be the first in the family to hold him. It has to be you" Grace says and hands the baby into Bree's arms "Go with Auntie Bree" Grace says.
"Aw hello my little prince, Ohyou are definitely the most beautiful boy in this world" Bree says to her new nephew "And there goes my position" Kaz says sarcastically, Bree smiles gently at him.
"What's his name?" Leo asks, Adam and Grace look at each other "Evan Leo Davenport" Adam says, Grace smiles wildly, Leo widens his eyes "Really?" Leo asks.
"Of course, whit after all the affection you've shown us since before he was born, it's the least we could do" Grace says "Woah! I don't even know what to say" Leo says, not containing his smile as he looks at the little boy in Bree's arms.
"You do not need to say anything." Adam smiles, Leo sighs, the baby starts to cry "Aw Shhh Shh it's okay" Bree says and hands the baby to Adam "Calm down my boy" Adam rocks the baby.
Chase smiles seeing Adam with the baby, finally seeing him as a father. Adam quickly looks at Chase.
"Chase, do you want...?" Adam approaches Chase with the baby who is still crying "Uh me?" Chase says pointing to himself "Yeah" Adam says and hands the baby into Chase's arms, still crying.
Chase adjusts the baby in his arms "Shh Hey..." Chase says softly, Harper comes over to look at the baby who is still crying "Hello Evan" Chase says and soon the baby stops crying.
"Look he stopped crying" Chase smiles "Aw He must like you" Grace smiles gently, Chase chuckles lightly and brings his finger closer to the baby who lightly holds his finger, Chase gasps with a smile for his nephew.
Harper smiles at the baby and then looks at Chase, trying to hide her melted look and her sweet smile.
"This is Auntie Harper" Chase says to the baby "Hi" Harper says as Chase hands the baby into her arms "Look at you" Harper says enchanted by the boy.
She sighs "I will protect you with all my heart, little hero" Harper says softly and kisses the baby's forehead, Chase smiles running his hand down her back "
"Adam, tell them" Grace says "Say what?" Chase asks "Actually. Chase, Harper this is your godson" Adam says, Chase and Harper look at them, Harper gasps.
"Us?" Harper asks "We want you to be his godparents" Adam says "If maybe we're not a role model for him, we're sure you two will be" Grace says and Adam agrees.
"It'll be an honor" Chase says, Harper rocks the baby and falls asleep in her arms "Here. He's sleeping" Harper says softly, handing Evan into Grace's arms.
Grace smiles tiredly "Aw my little baby" she says, Adam sighs "Come on guys, let's let them rest, it's been a busy day" Chase tells everyone as they start to leave the room.
"Grace, you can stay here as long as you need, okay?" Harper says "I think I'll just stay here for a week because I want my aunt to meet Evan" Grace says with a gentle smile.
Chase puts his hand on Adam's shoulder "Take a few days off, Harp and I will take care of your work" Chase says, Adam nods, Harper holds Chase's hand and they leave the room.
Adam sits on the bed with Grace "Do you want me to take care of him so you can get some sleep?" Adam asks, Grace shakes her head "Just five more minutes holding him" Grace says, Adam chuckles.
