He leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead.

"Anything for you, baby. I love you."

A doctor came into the room and checked Melanie's vitals. He looked at her chart and smiled.

"You're doing very well, Ms. Eckert. I'm happy to tell you that you can bring your baby girl home tomorrow."

"Doctor," Nikolas interrupted, worried that tomorrow might be too soon, "Would you please get a psych evaluation for Melanie? I think she may have post pardum depression."

Melanie started to panick that something really might be wrong with her and that she would be stuck in the hospital forever, "No Nikolas I think everything is ok now." She gave a fake smile to the doctor. "He's just a worried new daddy."

"Oh, I've seen my fair share of those," the doctor smiled, "I'll come by in the morning to get you your discharge papers."

He left and Nikolas gave Melanie a close look. "What was that about? I thought we agreed that something was wrong."

"So if I bring the baby in here, you'll hold her and we can pick out a name?" Nikolas asked, concerned that she wasn't doing well.

Melanie nodded nervous because she wasn't sure she could do it. "Of course and while you're out there can you see when I will be able to leave?"

"I'll ask the doctor," Nikolas told her, standing up and heading down the hall towards the nursery. He found her doctor and stopped him.

"Excuse me, could you tell me when Melanie will be able to come home with the baby?"

"If everything checks out okay, she'll be able to go home with you and your daughter tomorrow. You'll have to spend Christmas here with them. But, your baby will always have a very special birthday," the doctor explained.

"Oh, and just between you and I," Nikolas started, "If Melanie is having a hard time connecting with the baby, is that normal?"

"I think you're a little too worried," the doctor explained, "But if you get too concerned, you can always call me."

"Thanks," Nikolas smiled. He went into the nursery and looked down at their little girl. She had Melanie's face, but her hair and eyes... they were dark, just like his. He signed her out and pushed the carrier she was in back to Melanie's room.

"Mommy... look who's here to see you," he smiled, lifting the baby into his arms and carrying her towards Melanie.

Melanie felt her insides clench in fear but smiled through it. She pretended to reach out and hold the baby and tend screamed in pain, "Ow.. I think I'm still sore from labor Nikolas. Maybe you should hold her."

"Oh," Nikolas sighed, pulling her close to his chest, "That's understandable, I guess. I mean, it was a difficult labor."

"So..." he started, sitting on the edge of the bed with the infant in his arms, "What do we want to name this precious little girl?"

"I don't know exactly. Is there anybody important in your life you want to name her after?" Nikolas questioned.

"Sly? For a girl?" Nikolas asked, "We could start it with an S... maybe Sydney?"

Melanie shrugged and reached over to get a brush from the table and started to bursh my hair.

"Okay, obviously not Sydney then," Nikolas groaned, getting frustrated with how little she seemed to care. "Do you even want this baby, Mel?"

Melanie looked over at him while still brushing her hair, "I brought her into this world for you didn't I?"

"For me? What, you never even wanted her?" Nikolas asked, getting angry, "Melanie, if you don't want this baby in your life, she and I can make it really easy for you and just leave!"

Melanie jerked up angrily pulling in her IV and flinching a little but otherwise not paying attention to it. "You are not taking my child away from me Nikolas."

"You just said you don't want her!" Nikolas argued, "I won't let you neglect her!"

"Yeah, well I'm tired too. And it's Christmas, and we just got this incredible little miracle, and I feel like you don't want either of us... like there's something you're keeping from me. I don't have to ask to get tests run, do I?" Nikolas asked.

Melanie reached out and slapped him across the face and started crying, "How dare you! Now you're saying she isn't yours!!"

"Well the way you're behaving, I have reason to doubt," Nikolas answered, putting the baby back down into the cradle and rubbing his cheeks.
