Cabe stood nose to nose with the hospital administrator as he tried to explain hospital policy concerning returning the babies back to the nursery, "After all it's in the Mother's best interests that we do that so she can get the rest she needs and not have to worry about every little need of the baby until she goes home." He thought he had explained their position well and used solid logic.

Cabe nodded, "Let me tell you exactly what that all means. Spit. Besides being my children, they are top government assets. Paige wants her baby here in the room with her and that's where the baby is going to stay. We'll care for the little one, your nurses are welcome to check in through the normal course of their rounds and assist if requested. If you don't like it I can get Homeland director Katharine Cooper to come down. I'm sure your hospital would just love having someone of that level of Federal authority walking through here and I'll only be too happy to make sure your bosses know it was all because of you."

He looked around the room and all the eyes on him and he felt sweat bead up on his forehead. He licked his dry lips, "W-well she'll have to sign a waiver than."

"No problem," Walter said standing next to Cabe. "Bring the paperwork and we'll sign it. And we do not want that nurse around Paige or Megan again or," Walter pointed, "back in here again. She upset my wife and daughter and I won't tolerate her or another rude nurse." Walter glared at the nurse standing by the door who had been standing there almost arrogantly when the administrator had begun but started shrinking back as he gave ground and Walter's gaze fell on her.

"Very well, we'll change nurse assignments for you and I'll get the paperwork brought down to you shortly." He finally told them as he turned and walked out the door.

"Thank you Cabe," Paige told him gratefully.

Cabe smiled, "Anything for you sweetheart. But I think we really need to reconsider what hospital we use. This one is almost not worth the hassle." They laughed.

Allie came running in the door, "Am I late? My boss was a jerk and wouldn't let me leave early." She stopped and saw Paige holding the small bundle and her smile erupted on her face and her hand came up and rested on her stomach. "Oh Paige," she slowly walked up to the right side of the bed and Paige just smiled as she pulled the covering back to let Allie see Megan. "Oh she is so beautiful," her hand raised up and covered her mouth as a tear escaped her eye. "Just like her Mommy." Allie smiled and touched Paige's hair, "Congratulations."

Cabe stepped up and put his arm around her shoulders, "Isn't she though?"

Allie leaned into Cabe, "Did I hear you getting snippy with someone?" She asked.

Everyone laughed, "Yea, a nurse got rude with Paige so I had to straighten them out." Cabe told her.

Allie smiled looking up at Cabe and hugged him tighter. She pulled his head down and kissed his cheek, "I need to talk to you privately."

Cabe looked at her and nodded. "We'll be back; we're going to get some coffee."

Toby's head shot up, "Hey, I could go for a sandwich anyone want to go to the cafeteria with me?"

Sasha stood up quickly as did Ralph, Sylvester and Florence. "Walt?" Toby asked.

"You guys go ahead I don't want to leave Paige and Megan alone." Walter told him.

Happy walked over and sat down on the side of Paige's bed, "You go Walt. I'm going to stay up here. They won't mess with Paige or Megan with me here."

Walter looked at Paige and she smiled and nodded. Walter stepped over and kissed Paige and Megan, "You want me to bring you anything?"

Paige smiled, "Maybe some pie?"

Walter smiled, "Thanks Happy."

"So did you do it?" Happy asked after everyone left.

Paige looked confused, "Do what?"

Happy laughed, "Let Walt make a video of course."

Paige blushed, "Yea, at the very end."

"Toby's been after me about it too, I haven't decided. You seemed to be pretty strong against it, how come?" Happy asked.

Paige took in a deep breath, "Well understand I don't think Walter would do this but I can't help but remember after Ralph was born. We'd been home for about four days and I woke up from a nap and heard the sound of a woman screaming, crying and I heard men's voices making remarks and I was confused and I got up and peeked out into the front room and Drew was showing the video to a group of his buddies."

"That bastard," Happy got pissed, "I knew I didn't like him for more than for leaving you and Ralph."

"It was bad enough they all made passes at me all the time as it was, always 'joking' of course. After Drew left it became a nightmare. Of course not a one of them ever offered to help Ralph and me." Paige sighed.

"The next time Drew comes to town I think he is going to have a very serious accident." Happy steamed. "Don't worry, Walter is clueless about a lot of things but when it comes to you he is very guarded for you. He won't show the video to anyone."

Paige nodded and then looked up as she heard someone knock on the door. "Joey? What a pleasant surprise." Paige smiled.

"Hey Paige, I heard you guys were here so I hope you don't mind I looked you up and came to see how you were." Joey gestured and Paige smiled and motioned for him to enter the room.

"Happy, you remember Joey? He was the main nurse that cared for Walter here." Paige said.

"Hey Happy, oh is that the little one?" Joey smiled.

Paige nodded and turned Megan just a bit so Joey could see her better.

"What a gorgeous little one, what's her name?" Joey asked.

"Megan Happy O'Brien," Paige smiled at Happy.

"What a great name, beautiful just like she is. Hey I was talking to my friend Kim, she's one of the nurses in the ward and I heard you had a run in with a nurse." Joey said.

Paige nodded, "I want Megan to stay here with me and she tried to take her away from me."

"Seriously, what a witch, the hospital makes all kinds of allowances for new parents. Not sure why they are trying to be so strict." Joey shook his head. "Well I am just on my break so I can't stay long so I better get going and tell Walter I said congratulations."

Paige looked puzzled, "How'd you know?"

Joey laughed, "One look at you two looking at each other and you just know you are meant to be." Joey waved as he walked out the door.

After Cabe and Allie had entered the waiting room, "How come you didn't want to go with the kids?" Cabe asked her as he handed a coffee out to her.

Allie shook her head and Cabe became concerned. "Allie, sweetheart, what's wrong?" Allie put her hands together and stepped over towards the aquarium. Cabe walked up and put his arm around her back and ran his hand up her opposite arm. "Whatever it is, you can tell me." Cabe said.

"Cabe, I'm not sure how to tell you this." Allie rang her hands together. She turned to face Cabe, "I never expected this and I didn't even consider it a possibility, my age, your age, both detriments to the process."

Cabe sat his coffee down and took her hands in hers, "Sweetheart, just say it, it'll be okay, I promise, I'm here to support you in any way you need or want me too."

Allie looked up into Cabe's eyes, "I just heard back from my Dr's appointment from the other day. I'm pregnant; you're going to be a father." Allie clenched her eyes closed waiting for the fallout.

Cabe picked her bodily off the floor and hugged her tightly to him, "Are you kidding me? That's the most awesome thing I have ever heard."

Allie smiled; she'd been so sure he'd raise a stink about his age and how old he'd be when the child entered high school. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him with tears running down her cheeks.

Happy was holding Megan as Paige filled out the forms her new nurse brought down to her when Cabe and Allie walked in holding hands grinning happily. "Hey Roomie, where's the rest of the crew?" Happy asked.

Cabe glanced up, "I guess the cafeteria still; we just went to the waiting room." He took a sip of his coffee.

Happy looked at them and her eyes narrowed, "Why are you two so happy? And where's your coffee Allie?" Happy's eyes widened, "No way!"

Paige looked up from the paperwork, "What's going on?"

"Cabe put a bun in Allie's oven." Happy exclaimed.

Paige's mouth dropped open as Cabe and Allie laughed, "I just found out a few hours ago." Allie admitted.

"Congratulations!" Paige and Happy exclaimed together.

Allie walked up and looked down at Megan in Happy's arms, "May I?"

Happy looked at Paige and she nodded. Happy gently passed Megan over to Allie and then got up and hugged Cabe. "Congratulations old man, looks like the new ticker was good for something else too." Happy said as she giggled.

"Come here and give me a hug Cabe." Paige said with a smile after she finished signing the last page of the forms.

Cabe laughed and walked over and hugged her. "I'm so happy for you." Paige whispered, "Just don't forget about the rest of your kids in favor of this one now." A small tear escaped her eye.

Cabe laughed, "You won't get rid of me that easily. Trust me."

Paige's new nurse came in and greeted Allie and Cabe, "Is there anything I can do for you Paige?"

Paige shook her head, "Well, I'm done with these forms if you want to take them back."

The nurse smiled as she picked them up and left the room.

Allie reached out with Megan and Paige smiled as she took her back just as the gang returned from the cafeteria. Walter walked over and sat down in Paige's bed and kissed her before showing her the peach cobbler he brought up for her. Paige smiled, "You want me to feed you or hold Megan?" Walter grinned as he asked.

Paige smiled and laughed, "Feed me Seymour."

Walter frowned as he took the plastic wrap off the dish and cut a small piece off and reached the fork out so Paige could take it off the fork.

"It's from a movie Walt, Little Shop of Horrors," Toby informed him.

"Oh," Walter replied as he got the next bite ready.

"Can I hold Megan Mom?" Ralph asked.

"Oh," Paige said surprised, "Sure honey, can you hold your arms like this?" Ralph dutifully placed his arms just like Paige was holding hers. Paige slowly reached Megan out and slipped her into Ralph's arms. "Make sure you support her head Ralphy, baby's necks aren't developed enough to protect themselves."

"I understand, I'll be careful Mom, I promise." Ralph told her.

Paige smiled as Ralph stared down at Megan, "She really is beautiful like you Mom." Ralph said as he turned and half sat on the side of her bed to try and give her some reassurance.

Walter cut another bite off and held it out for Paige. Paige smiled and ate the bite he offered. "Oh, you guys missed Joey; he stopped by on his break a short bit ago. He said to tell you congratulations."

"That was very kind of him." Walter said as he cut another piece for Paige.

"No kidding? Maybe I should go up and say Hi to him." Cabe said.

It was fairly late; Walter and Paige had just said good night to Walter's parents on facechat. They'd both had been ecstatic at Megan and their choice of a name for her. They'd promised to come see them Christmas. Walter started to get out of Paige's bed and she stopped him, "What are you doing?"

Walter smiled, "Giving you your bed back so you can sleep. I'll sleep in the chair on the other side of Megan's bassinette."

Paige shook her head, "Just moved the bassinette next to your side and get back in. I want you next to me. Please?" Walter smiled and nodded and got up and moved the bassinette up to the left side and crawled into bed and laid down putting his arm around Paige and she laid her head against him. "Just like we should be," Paige said as she snuggled into his chest. "Walter, can I explain something to you about the video?" Paige finally asked.

Walter nodded and Paige began telling him about the story she told Happy. "And while I know you would never betray me like that, it's why I am so guarded over it. Forgive me?" Paige asked.

Walter smiled, "Nothing to forgive. I will always protect you, Ralph and Megan."

Paige had finally fallen asleep and Walter put in his ear buds and started watching a lecture from the University of Queensland when he realized how mad he was. He paused the video and looked at Paige sleeping peacefully. He opened his own browser he designed and connected to the Garage's VPN and began rerouting his connections bouncing it all over the world before he hacked into the IRS data server and pulled up Drew's information. He flagged his record for a full audit for the next five years and quickly disconnected. And shut down his browser and began watching the video again, a smile on his face, that was good for an opening salvo he thought.

The lecture was about thirty minutes in when Megan woke up crying, Walter quickly picked her up and noticing how wet she was he got up and began changing her. "Walter?" Paige asked wearily.

"Megan's wet," Walter told her as a nurse opened the door and came in.

Walter looked back, "We've got her."

The nurse smiled, "Just making sure everything is okay, its time to feed Megan too. Would you like me to get a bottle?"

Paige shook her head, "Thank you, no, I've got this." She said with steel in her voice.

The nurse smiled, "Call if you need anything guys."

Walter finished the diaper change and brought Megan over and handed her to Paige and got back into bed with her. He watched as Paige started singing to her before she began nursing Megan.

Walter smiled, "I see you haven't lost your touch." He kissed Paige and held her tighter as she snuggled into his chest as best she could while nursing Megan.

Greetings guys, based on Franxine's comment I thought I would ask you guys what you wanted to do. While it is my hope to end up writing a lot if not all of the family connects and stuff brought out in Farewell it will take a long time to actually do all that. So I thought I would give you the option of me writing up a timeline showing who and when all the kids are married/born. You'll also see that I didn't reveal something in Farewell, I didn't want the cat out of the bag early since it was going to be revealed in this story. But basically due to military commitment Cabe's child and family couldn't be there. I also didn't mention great grand kids or spouses of grand kids simply because of the space it would have needed in the one shot. I'll give you guys 2 days to let me know if you want the timeline. Oh and Farewell takes place 55 years after Head Space (for rent). -Tim
