It'd only been about a year since Dennis and Dawson got married and she was already pregnant.

He was nervous as hell. He probably wasnt ready. No, he KNEW he wasn't ready.

They agreed to keep it quiet. If people found out, they found out... and everyone knew since she was eight months pregnant.

And it still amazed him, feeling the baby kick, listening to the heartbeat. Sure, he'd done ultrasounds before. It wasn't new.. but this was HIS baby.

Luckily, Dawson was a nurse. Capable. Smart. She knew what she was doing. Still, he worked her shifts whenever he could. Just in case.

When he saw her bracing herself against the nurses’ station, something in his chest tightened. He crossed the floor in seconds.

"Are you alright? Are you having contractions? Braxton hicks?" He asked urgently, his hand hovering over her lower back. Around her he felt like a student again. A student who knew nothing about pregnancy.
