"Matt, this baby is a part of Lucas," Luke told him. "I know it's a huge responsibility, but... Lucas came to you and asked you to watch over his daughter. Are you really going to deny his final wish?"

"I'll only raise this baby if I have you by my side," Matt admitted, sitting on the couch because he couldn't stand the pain in his leg anymore. "Because I can't do it without you."

"Of course I'm going to be by your side," Luke assured him as he held onto Matt's arm. "I love you, and I know how much Lucas meant to you. It's going to be hard, but... this baby might help give you that closure you never had with losing him."

Matt nodded and squeezed Luke's hand. "Okay... I'll do it."

He turned and looked over to Emily. "I'm sorry I freaked out on you. You didn't deserve that."

"Don't worry about it," Emily told him quietly, "I have a bad habit of trying to fix everything for everybody."

"Yeah, but that's what I love about her," Patrick replied. "I'll have all the paperwork filled out after holidays so you can get custody. Meena's going to be going away for a very long time, so you won't have to worry about her showing up to take he baby away."

"That's great," Matt nodded, still trying to let it all sink in. "I'm sorry, this is just so bizarre. In three months, we're going to have a baby."

"You'll catch on quickly," Emily smiled, going into the kitchen to get some drinks for everybody.

"I guess... Luke, are you ready for this?"

"I- I don't know," Luke said, catching his breath. "This baby's going to be completey and totally dependant on us for the next 18 years. She's going to have two daddies. Who are we going to get to teach about women's stuff like bras and her monthly visitor?"

Emily laughed, "Monthly visitor? Luke, don't ever call it that again, got it?"

"What would be better?" Matt asked, feeling a little uncomfortable where the conversation was heading.

"Anything else... medical terms work well. Menstruation... I don't know. But I'll help when that time comes 12 or 13 years from now."

There was a knock at the door. Emily went to get it and was surprised to find Nikolas there with Lucas.

"Melanie had the baby. It's a little girl," Nikolas told her, hardly containing his excitement. "As much as I hate to give him up to you and your partner, Lucas can't spend Christmas in a hospital."

"Congratulations, Nikolas," Emily smiled politely, putting her arms out for Lucas to come to her. He immediately complied and giggled when he saw Zack inside.

"I guess we can start practicing right now," Matt whispered to Luke.

"Hey, Lucas, look what Dad got me!" Zack said as he held the puppy up. Lucas giggled in awe as he saw the tiny puppy in Zack's arms.

"There's no way I'm leaving my son here with that dog. It's not safe," Nikolas started.

"It's fine, Nikolas," Emily calmed him down, "Would you rather stay here and get into a fight or go to the hospital to be with Melanie and the baby?"

Nikolas considered this for a moment before sighing in defeat, "Fine, but if he gets hurt, don't say I didn't warn you."

He placed a kiss on Lucas' forehead before turning around to head back to the hospital. Emily used her free hand to close the door as Lucas squirmed, wanting to get down and play with the puppy.

"Okay, kiddo... I got it," Emily laughed, carrying him away from the front door and placing him on the floor. Lucas immediately crawled across the floor by Zack, where he reached his hand out to touch the dog. The puppy licked his face, causing Lucas to crawl away with a shocked look on his face.

"He hasn't even noticed all those wrapped gifts under the tree," Emily smiled, taking a seat on the love seat.

"I'm sure he'll eventually get to them," Patrick said with a smile as he watched the puppy follow Lucas.

Luke took Matt's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "I think we're doing the right thing. I mean, you always said you wanted a piece of Lucas. Something for the world to remember him by."

"You're right," Matt smiled, "I just hope that I'm not trapping you with me. I mean, you're welcome to opt out of raising this baby with me. There's no pressure on you."

"Lucas is a big brother," Emily realized out loud, "And Melanie just gave birth. It's almost unreal."

"Well, maybe someday Lucas will two siblings to watch over," Patrick said as he kissed Emily.

"Come on Lucas, let's open your presents," Zack said as he waved a box in front of Lucas, who crawled to the tree, with the puppy following him.

"I don't want to opt out," Luke said as he lightly touched Matt's lips. "I want to be with you, Matt. I love you more than anything, don't you get that? I'd go to hell and back for you."

"Okay, one at a time, boys," Emily told them as Lucas got overwhelmed with gifts. She grabbed her camera from the table and turned it on.

Lucas crawled over to the tree where Zack was waiting with his gifts. He had become familiar with Christmas presents between all of the ones Edward had brought the previous week and the gifts he watched Zack open on his birthday. Zack put a large box in front of him and Lucas pulled paper off of the side quickly, putting it in his mouth and ignoring what the package actually was.

"So, why don't you spend the day with these kids when Patrick takes me to the hospital?" Matt suggested, "It'll be practice for us."

"I don't know," Luke said. "I'm kind of nervous about handling something as precious as Lucas. I mean, I don't want to break him or anything."

Patrick laughed as he looked over. "Are you kidding? That kid's indestructible. He's going to make one hell of a football player when he gets older."

Emily looked at Patrick and smiled, "Ah... Nikolas would probably get an aneurysm."

Matt smiled, "See... you can't hurt him. And you're not going to be alone. Emily will be here the whole time. You'll just have to help her with the cooking, because I don't want to eat blackened chicken tonight."

"Hey," Emily remarked defensively, "Am I that bad?"

"Patrick's just too nice to tell you, but yes, it's that bad," Matt laughed, "These poor boys probably get the most nutrition from restaurants. But you're in luck, because Luke is the best cook I've ever met."

Luke blushed a little as Lucas finally noticed the package in front of him and smiled happily at the bright colors. It was then that the puppy nuzzled against Lucas's arm.

"You'll do great," Patrick told him. "Matt, are you ready to get your leg into that cast? I want to be sure there's no infection."

"Yeah, let's get this over with," Matt sighed, standing up with Luke's help and heading to the door. He pulled his coat over his arms and leaned close to Luke, wanting to get one last hug before he had to leave for a few hours.

Lucas giggled in delight as the puppy's whiskers tickled his arms. He crawled around and chased the dog, ignoring the other gifts on the floor for the time being.

"Okay, well, you two should hurry, because if Noah and Jason show up and I'm stuck cooking, babysitting, and keeping the piece, I'll lose my mind," Emily smiled. "Even if I can't cook very well."

"We'll make it fast," Patrick said as he kissed her. "Just have Zack keep Dad busy, have Luke do the cooking and force Jason to watch after Lucas. It should all be fine. We'll be back as soon as we can."

Luke hugged Matt and gave him a gentle kiss. "Be careful. I'll see you when you get back."

"I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize getting back to you," Matt whispered as he kissed Luke and gave him a hug. Patrick helped him out to the car and they made their way to the hospital.

Lucas and Zack continued to play with the puppy and ignore the toys around the room after the two men left.

"So, Luke..." Emily started, picking up the pieces of wrapping paper all over the floor, "You have worries about raising a baby; it's totally understandable. But is there something else bothering you about all of this?"

"Yeah," Luke silently replied as he picked Lucas up and stared down at the baby. "The baby... it's a piece of Lucas. Someone he truly loved. Lucas gave Matt something that I might never be able to give him. I don't know why, but I feel... jealous that Lucas is giving Matt a piece of his soul. How do I compete with that?"


"So, tell me," Patrick said as he drove toward the hospital. "How are things going with Luke?"

"It's understandable," Emily started, looking down the hall where Zack was chasing the puppy, "But I can tell you one thing. Biology isn't what matters. That little girl is going to be raised by you and Matt. She might look like Lucas, but she's going to grow up to behave like the two of you. She's going to hold a piece of you in her heart as her father: the man who was there from the day she was born until her sixteenth birthday and her wedding day and all of the things in between. And once you have her, you're going to want to give her a sibling, and you can find a surrogate to have your baby or Matt's baby. Your family is going to flourish, I promise you."


"Great," Matt smiled through the pain in his leg. "Luke is amazing. When we're together, I feel like there's nobody else in the world. Do you know how exhilirating that feels?"

"Everytime I look at Emily," Patrick replied. "I know it's a sensitive subject, but what do you plan to do if Morgan ever comes back to town?"


"I just want to be able to give Matt whatever he wants," Luke told her. "I want to make him happy. I love him more than anything, Emily."

Luke held Lucas on his lap, getting comfortable with holding a baby.

"You do make him happy," Emily told him, smiling at how well he was doing with Lucas. "Matt and I were just getting close when he started his relationship with Morgan. And the pressures and the lies about it drove him to this place that was just devastating. He wasn't every really able to share his happiness with anybody. He ran away; we didn't even know if he was alive. But then you came into the picture. And he's playing basketball again; he calls and even graces the family with his presence once in a while. I think you've impacted his life much more than you think."


"Morgan and I... I really hurt him when I broke things off," Matt started, feeling guilty for that part of his life, "And I will always love him for helping me get through losing Lucas and getting Dillon and I closer together as brothers. I know someday he'll be back in Westland; I just hope by then I can close the door on that part of my past and have complete happiness with Luke and the baby."

"i'm just afraid that someday Matt's going to think he's made a mistake by choosing me," Luke said as he cradled Lucas. "I love him so much. I just don't think I could handle losing his love."


"Just be careful," Patrick told him. "Remember what happened with me and Melanie? I just don't want to see anyone get hurt."
