Ch 5 Like Father Like Son

“Well you’re going to have to stop shaking, dad. Have you ever held a baby before?” the nurse asked.

“N...no, a long time ago. No,” Joel stuttered as he rubbed his clammy palms on his knees. Benji rested his hand on Joel’s bicep comforting him.

“Okay, hold up your arms…support the head …now hold him closer to your body…there ya go. See its not so hard.” The nurse said stepping away.

Joel was just sitting there his son in his arms- in his own little world with his son.

“Have you thought of a name?” the nurse asked and waited for an answer. When one didn’t come from Joel Benji smiled and shook his head at the nurse, returning his gaze to Joel.

Benji watched as Joel looked at his baby. A little arm stretched out and Joel watched his fingers uncurl from their little fist and a yawn overcome the tiny face. The baby’s eyes blinked and looked around and then looked up into Joel’s face.

Joel smiled down at the infant, and he knew that everything would be all right. He chuckled lightly and whispered, “Jonah.”

“What?” Benji asked softly.

“Jonah, Jonah is his name.” Joel said still looking at the kid, Jonah.

Benji smiled and nodded, “Jonah it is then.” Joel looked up to Benji with a smile on his face. The nurse said something and left the room.

Joel looked over, “He’s my son,” he looked back down and a tear fell. “I’m a dad.”

Benji wiped a tear off the bridge of Joel’s nose and Joel smiled, “He’s yours too.”

Benji smiled and nodded. “He’s got two dads.”

“Want to hold him?” Joel grinned.

Benji nodded and Joel placed Jonah in Benji’s arms.


(A/n: okay so they cant possibly know how to take care of a baby so lets say they got a nanny k? k! and I don’t know if Steve their manager is married or not so lets say he is and her name is…Keri and she’s their nanny. And she is helping them. Yeah!)

“Is he asleep?” Benji asked coming in from the grocery store.

“Which baby are you talking about?” Keri laughed and motioned to Joel who was asleep on the armchair next to the crib. “As soon as Jonah fell asleep he relaxed and, Aww like father like son- they’re drooling.”

Benji laughed and put the groceries away then came back, “We really appreciate you, Keri. We have no baby experience at all. Thank you soo much for this.”

“Ahh its nothing- I needed a job where Steve and I could be together. Being a midwife isn’t exactly a traveling job, so thank you.”

Benji nodded and sat on the couch, he leaned over and kissed Joel’s forehead lightly. He pulled away, “Oh sorry- I forgot.”

“It’s alright, I don’t mind. I know the feeling.” Keri smiled.

Benji nodded back and went to sit back down but Jonah began to cry. “I got him.” Benji said getting back up and picking up Jonah. He held him and Jonah stopped but didn’t fall back asleep just played around with grabbing Benji’s shirt.

“You know you two are doing really good,” Keri said, “I don’t think you guys need me here this much.”

Benji shrugged, “Well Joel and I were talking and we think its time to tell Billy and Paul.”

“You haven’t told them?”

“No, only you and Steve know- our mom doesn’t even know. So maybe you could stick around a little longer today, in case there’s yelling or anything you can take him someplace quiet.”

“Sure. You need to tell them soon though- you haven’t seen them in three days, what did you tell them?”

“We said we were visiting our sister.” Benji looked down and Jonah had fallen back asleep. He smiled and laid him in his lap. He laughed up at Keri, “I feel so motherly.”


Joel and Benji sat on the couch waiting for Billy and Paul to arrive. “I’m nervous.”

“I know me too.”

Billy and Paul arrived a little while later, “So what’s up?” they asked sitting in the family room.

Joel began, “Well there’s some stuff we need to tell you two. Now please don’t get upset.”
