"He needs to come out." Brett deadpan.
Mason chuckled "And he will." "But when?" "When he feels ready to come out Brett."
"I am tired of hearing everyone say that." Brett groaned.
"I can imagine, but everyone is only trying to help."
"They are not helping! It causes more grief."
"I understand. Now, how about we try to induce labour? As the doctor recommended.
"If that gets him out sooner. Where to begin Mason?"
"How about a walk?"
"Walking is hard though." Protested Brett.
"Or you can stay here being in pain."
"Grab my shoes by the door will you?"

Mason is hand in hand with Brett as they walked.
"How are you feeling?" Mason asked.
"We just started walking." Brett reminded.
"Right you are Brett. Now where would you like to walk?"
"Anywhere."
"How about the church where we got married in?"
Brett smiles "That sounds good."
"Very good, off to get remarried."

The two of them walked slowly. Brett having to take frequent breaks, which was okay by Mason.
"I am sorry, you want to be all romantic. And I keep stalling."
"Nonsense. You are pregnant, you deserve all the breaks that you need."
"Thanks for understanding Mason."
Mason let go of Brett's hand, resting his hand on Brett's belly.

All smiles now, Brett and Mason continue talking.
And walking.
That was until Brett grabs at his belly, making grunting noises, which was startled by Mason, "Brett?"
Brett closed his eyes "I..ooh."
"Are you in labour Brett? Do you think?"
Brett shakes his head "I do not know. We should go.."
"Hospital. You are going right now."
"I am not protesting. Ow, wow, this really does hurt."
"Just start breathing. Through your nose, out of your mouth."
"I remember!"
"Good, now come along. Hospital is not far."

If it had not been for Mason, Brett would not have made it.
They stopped many of times, but Mason helped him through each pain.
Brett was convinced he was in labour.
"This does not feel right, it hurts. A lot."
"The Doctor will be here soon as he can."
"I know he will. Hey Mason?"
"Yeah? What is up?"
"Thanks for helping me get to the hospital." Brett says.
Mason nods "Glad I could be helpful for you Brett."
"You are always there for when I need you Mason."
"Like I am ever going to leave your side Brett. If you think that, you are absolutely delusional."
"I know you will not leave me, not now, and not ever."
"Good thing to remember."
Brett chuckled, "Come in." He answered, hearing the door knock.
The Doctor walked in, clipboard in his hand "Hello, Mr. Talbot, so, I hear that you are in pain?"
Brett nodded "Right here in my belly."
"Well let me check you out ."
He approaches Brett, snapping gloves on.

"Okay. Well, your baby is in the position."
"Does that mean I am in labour?"
"It seems so."
"I..we..our baby."
The doctor smiled "Very usual reaction. I will be back, now lay back down. And try to relax."
Mason waits until they are alone to squeal and hug Brett, "Our baby is coming to meet us."
Brett nods "He is! I..I do not know how to feel. I am so happy, happy that we are getting to meet. But also, upset."
"And why is that?" Mason frowns.
"It means I will no longer be pregnant. I have gotten custom to having a bump." Brett confessed.
"Well I can always get you pregnant once more Brett. I too like seeing you heavily with our babies."
"Pervert."
"Nope. Just a man who loves looking at his man."
"Real good of an answer. Ooh, give me your hand!"
Mason gives his hand, which Brett begins to squeeze it.
"Ow. Ow." Mason chanted.
"Be quiet over there! There is no need for you to be making any noises of any pain!"
"You are using your werewolf abilities to help with reducing your pain! And damn that hurts a lot!"
"Oh. Well yeah, I can imagine that being rather painful. I am so sorry for hurting you. You can let to of my hand."
"No. You are in pain Brett. I promise to stay by your side during this, so, please, my hand is here for you Brett."
"Thank you." Brett grimaced, squeezing his hand again.
Mason winches, but tries to keep it silent.
"I appreciate all of your sacrifices."
"All of the sacrifices have been made on your behalf."
"With you by my side though, you made this okay. Even at times enjoyable."
"I did my job as provider. And protector. Which I get to carry on, with our little boy."
"You are going to do so well with him, I know you are going to be."
"I defiantly do hope. Now, how are you feeling over there? Pain? Feeling anything?"
"Just a little pressure, in my lower belly. It comes, then goes."
"Like a contraction Brett?"
"Exactly like that Mason. And they are getting more recent, and painful."
"Should I get a nurse? Or the doctor?" Mason asked.
"Nah, not yet at least. We are both still okay."
"Good. Now come on Brett, you need rest."
"I do. I am getting tired. And I know I will be exhausted later."
"Exactly there. I love you Brett, and him. Now, close them peepers, and go to sleep." Mason recommended.

Everything happened so quickly; Mason was trying to keep up. But he felt hopeless.
Brett was being prepped for delivery.
"I need you by my side." Brett whispered.
"And I am here for you. " Mason whispered.
"I know you are, thank you."

Brett holds his son, who is the perfect combination of both his parents.
"Handsome little devil he is." Mason cooed.
Brett laughed "I think handsome little werewolf he is, is more accurate."
"Right you are Brett. Now, do you have a name?"
"I do. What is yours first?"
"Nathan."
"Nathan Reid Talbot."
"Welcome to the Talbot family Nathan."
