The walk back to my room was a short walk, but it seemed to be taking all my strength to get back there. I didn't want to go tell 2 of the men in there that they weren't the father of my beautiful son. And telling his dad, I didn't know how he was going to respond.

I opened the door and I saw everyone sitting there staring at me. I smiled, "He's beautiful! Very tiny but he is still beautiful."

All the guys wanted to meet him. I told them they could when he woke up. I climbed into my bed and asked if I could talk to Dan alone. After several groans from the guys they left and Dan came and sat with me.

I snuggled against his chest. "I need to tell them who is and who isn't the father. I don't know how I am going to do this."

Dan who suddenly looked very confused, "How do you already know who the father is?"

I filled Dan in on what I knew and then I looked at him. "You may not understand it, but I know in my heart he is the baby's father."

Dan hugged me, "I am here for support, but if you want to do this alone I will go sit out there and wait."

I smiled. "I want you here with me!"

I walked over to the door to tell the guys to come in and the nurse came in and told me I needed to come back to the nursery. My heart dropped and suddenly telling the guys was not my first priority. I followed her and walked in to see the baby without the tube in his nose.

I walked over and they told me they wanted to try something, they put some formula in a eye dropper and dropped it in his mouth and he drank it. I smiled and I was handed the dropper. I fed him a few dropper fulls of the formula and then burped him.

As I held his tiny body up I decided to go ahead and tell the guys to come in. I might as well get this over. Dan came in first and took a look at the baby and I watched as the emotions hit him. I handed him the baby and he rocked him.

I went into the hallway to gather up the guys since they hadn't come in the room yet. As I walked out I heard them talking about the results not changing their new friendships. I smiled, I still didn't know how I had been so lucky with this group of men. I knew this wasn't normal guy behavior. I felt more love and respect for all of them.

"Do you all want to come in together or do you want to come in to see him one at a time?" I asked them.

"Together" Oliver and Jared said at the same time.

"Alone please." Will quietly said.

"I will take Will and then come back for you two. Is that okay?" They all nodded. I grabbed Will's hand and lead him in the room. "Come meet the little prince." We smiled at each other.

Will walked in and went over to Dan. He picked up the baby and held him for a few minutes before speaking. I didn't know what to say so I just stood there and watched him hold the baby.

"He is beautiful Serena, you did an amazing job." He looked at the baby and then looked at me. "Can I ask you something?" I nodded as he spoke. "Can I still be in his life?"

I tried to fight back the tears, "Will, this whole time I thought he was yours. I never would have dragged you in to this mess if I didn't think you were his father. If you want to be in his life, I would love to have you there. He will be loved that's for sure."

"I thought I was his father too, and I'm not mad that I am not. I just don't think I can walk away and not look back."

I hugged Will, he was a true gentleman. My heart ached for him. I knew he was a great guy. He had been amazing this whole pregnancy. He rubbed my arm with his free hand. I looked at him and smiled.

"Thank you for everything Will, you have been great."

"It's been my pleasure." He handed me the baby after kissing him on the forehead. "I am going to go so you can talk to Oliver and Jared. I want you to call me and keep me up to date on him. I will be back in a few days to visit."

I promised him I would keep him up to date and I watched him walk out of the side door so he could leave with out bumping in to the guys. After he closed the door I felt a sting in my chest. I had to get Oliver and Jared.

I handed the baby back to Dan and went to get the guys.

Jared walked in front of Oliver and got to Dan first.

"He looks just like Landon did when he was born." Jared said.

"Well, not just like him, but very similar." Oliver said.

Jared walked over and hugged Oliver. "Congrats Bro! You have a cute kid!"

Oliver's mouth dropped. "You can't be serious mate. Look at him!"

Jared walked over to Dan and looked at the baby. He looked at Oliver and shrugged. "What?"

"He may look like Landon, but Landon is pale. Look at this guy. He has a full head of dark hair and he is much darker than Landon." Oliver pointed out.

"Oliver!" I said.

"What Serena? Seriously, how the heck can you blame me for pointing out the obvious? Jared, Landon looks like Serena. So of course this little guy will favor her. But I am not tan. You really don't see it do you?" Oliver started laughing as he saw Jared's eyes get big.

"He's-- I'm--" Jared said before passing out.

"Oh Merlin! I would like to have a baby without someone passing out. Seriously, now I have a complex!"

Oliver was laughing uncontrollably now. I just scowled at him, which made him laugh harder.

I took the baby and had Dan and Ollie help the nurse revive him. He looked up and rubbed his head.

"Serena, He's mine? Well, ours?" Jared asked.

I smiled and nodded. "You have been telling me this whole pregnancy it was your baby and you were right."

Jared stood up and walked over to me and looked at the baby. He rubbed the baby's tiny cheek. "He feels warm like me."

"That's how I knew he was yours. That and his darker skin."

I carefully placed our son in his father's arms. "Here is your son Jared, or should I say Daddy?" I giggled.

Jared held our baby and smiled. "I am his father!"

I looked at Oliver, and he looked happy for his friend. "Ollie, I hope this doesn't change anything. Landon and I need you around."

"Nah, it doesn't change anything. I will be there for him, and you. I can't be upset anymore. I allowed Jared in our relationship and I can't hate either of you for something we all did." Oliver put his arm around me. "So does this make me the godfather?"

Jared looked up and smiled. "I vote yes!" I nodded and smiled. "Thanks!"

Oliver and Dan decided to go get Landon and fill Mom and Rufus in on everything. I hugged Dan and thanked him for being there for support. As the guys left I looked at Jared.

"We need to name him. Any ideas?" I asked.

"I know I have a middle name idea. It's Quileute for sun, Qahla. You don't have to use it. I just like it."

"I love it! Now a first name. I have been thinking about Kasen, Maxwell, or.."

"Max! I like Max! Max Qahala. I like it" Jared said

"Max, I can handle Max." I smiled.

"I am going to call him mini Max!" Jared said with a laugh.

I rolled my eyes.

I sat there watching Jared with his son. It was breathtaking. Jared had wanted this and he was loving the fact that he was right. I was glad it all worked out.
