"Push harder." Eric prompted Eve.

"I am pushing." Eve shouted back.

Tiny beads of sweat formed on her forehead, her hands clenched the bed sheet on the hospital bed.

"Just one last push sweetheart." Eric stated gently.

Evangeline pushed with all her might.

The labor room filled with the cries of the new born.

***********************

Eric and Eve's son was named Paul Jr. and Paul was his godfather on Eric's insistence though Evangeline was strictly against it.

Joshua sat next to Eve perched on the bed, with his little brother on his lap. He refused to let anyone else hold the baby.

Agent Natalie entered the hospital room with a bouquet of flowers in hands and congratulated the new parents.

She looked even more ravishing in the chevron patterned sundress and Paul almost forgot breathing when she smiled at him.

"Don't you plan on starting a family Natalie?" Eve asked her after the greetings.

"Nah! Marriage is so overrated." She declared, "I would rather kick their asses then kiss men."

"How about Paul?" Eve suggested with a smile, "He might not be a good husband but he's undoubtedly a great father."

"Sorry but not interested." Agent Natalie replied unenthusiastically.

Any little hope Paul had went down the drain with her statement.

"You can have me." Chief Harris announced while entering the room.

"I will pass." Paul exclaimed quickly, "I prefer being single."

Everyone laughed.

It's said 'All's Well That Ends Well'.
