A few minutes later they reached their destination as Gabriel smiled at one of the nurses. "Hello. I'm here to visit my wife..."

"Ah yes. Commander Yamaguchi left information that you would be arriving to see her, she is expecting you... and congratulations again sir."

"Thank you." Gabriel replied with a smile as he led the smaller male into the recovery room where Savannah was sitting, reading a PADD, she looked none the worse for her experience in labor. "Hey guys... Paul Harrison, I presume?" the woman sitting before Paul was deeply tanned and she looked Polynesian except she had blonde hair and blue eyes. "I keep hearing about you... this family seems to love you.."

"That's good." He was thinking what would happen if they didn't.

Savannah smiled at him. "Its intimidating... isn't it?" she chuckled softly as her son seemed to come to life, she reached down to pluck him from his bassinet "Hello, little guy... you have a visitor."

The infant blinked as he looked around with his large blue eyes but otherwise didn't cry or scream as Celeste handed him off to Paul. "Paul... meet Gideon."

Paul had babysat T'Lar's daughter so holding a baby was not scary for him. He looked at the baby and smiled. He tickled Gideon's cheek with his finger tip, "Hi there kiddo." He looked at the proud dad, "I've never held one this new." He stared down at the kid with a smile.

Gideon blinked but otherwise didn't make a sound as Gabriel looked at him. "Well. he's less then a few days old but he's extremely healthy... thanks to my wife being a health nut."

Savannah frowned at her husband. "Keep it up... I dare ya!" she gave him a sinister smile

Paul laughed and then handed the baby back to Gabriel, "Congratulations. He's a keeper." Paul liked babies but he wasn't ready to be a dad himself. He wanted to be married for at least a few years before having a baby.

Gabriel smiled as he accepted his son from Paul. "Thanks... he's quiet but he'll grow out of that soon enough." he explained with a smile. "or so I'm told."

Paul chuckled, "I don't think that you should wish that. Enjoy the quiet while you can."

"We will manage," Savannah commented. "Besides.. we have another year at the academy yet..."

"Sorry. I've been taking care of Vice-Admiral T'Lar's daughter, Raivyn and she is a handful now. I was hoping that she would keep her Vulcan half but I was wrong."

Savannah chuckled softly. "Sounds like Admiral T'Lar's child is quite the noisemaker." she commented with a knowing smile. "get this guy motivated, he has quite the pair of lungs on him..."

Gabriel winced. "Yeah."

"Earplugs, get some earplugs and when your son starts to cry loudly, just put them in. That will help." Paul was joking of course.

"Oh, I think we'll manage.... somehow." Savannah responded cheerfully. "another year in hell with a baby..." she then sighed. "Paul... a word to the wise.... do not get Rachael pregnant while she is at the academy.... she might hurt you."

"Oh no, don't worry. There is no way. A baby is a such a huge responsibility. And the worse thing is that when it cries, you can't give it to someone else." Probably why his mother started him babysitting T'Lar's kids, so that it would deter hin form having kids too early.

Both Savannah and Gabriel both nodded their heads at this, clearly agreeing with him. "Consider that whoever you have children with... she's the one doing all the work Paul.... so long as you love her, cherish her and make sure she knows that... then you're relationship will survive."
