Henry (The Beck Brothers 1)

" You did great today, you made a beautiful baby", he said softly then kissed her forehead.

Claire burst into tears all over again and wrapped her arms around his neck. Sebastian hugged her back. " Thank you", she croaked.

After Claire collected herself, Sebastian turned to put his arm around Henry's shoulders, who was sitting next to him on the bed. They watched their youngest brother rock and coo to his nephew. Sebastian never thought that he'd want kids, but after today he didn't think he could go through the rest of his life without them. He still might not want a relationship but that didn't mean he couldn't have kids eventually.

" Uncle Bastian, can I sit with you?", came Ethan's voice from in front of him.

Sebastian looked down at the new big brother, " Sure buddy", Sebastian said, hoisting the nearly 4 year old onto his lap. Sebastian turned to Henry, " So, what's his name gonna be?", he asked.

" Henry Michael Beck III", Henry smiled proudly.

Sebastian smiled and gave his brother's shoulder a squeeze, " I like it"

After everyone got a turn with the baby, he went back to Claire and everyone left so that she could feed him. Out in the hall, everyone milled around talking for a little while before they started to disperse. Sebastian was the only one left. He really didn't want to leave, he wanted to wait for Claire to be done so that he could hog the baby some more. This was the first baby he's ever held and he found that he was now addicted.

" Uncle Bastian?", Ethan asked, tugging on the hem of his t-shirt.

Sebastian looked down at his little buddy, who had grown so tall and was starting to look more and more like a little boy then a baby. " What's up?"

" Can I stay with you tonight?", he asked hopefully.

Sebastian's eyebrows flew up, " Really?", he asked, shocked.

Ethan smiled and nodded.

Sebastian looked at Henry. Henry shrugged, " It's up to you, but it would let me stay and help out Claire with the baby tonight"

" Alright then, it's settled, you're coming with me buddy", Sebastian smiled and held out his fist. Ethan knocked his own little fist against Sebastian's and jumped up and down, shouting,

" Yay!"

Sebastian was a bit nervous. he's never babysat a kid before. He didn't want to fuck up. Sebastian looked back at Henry, who for the first time since Sebastian showed up, looked completely exhausted. Whether he was nervous or not, Sebastian would do this for his brother. Sebastian put his arm around Ethan's shoulders.

" Try and get some sleep Henry", Sebastian said, giving his big brother's face a pat.

Henry smiled wearily, " I'm gonna try, thanks for doing this Sebastian", he said sincerely.

" No problem, I'll call you in the morning", he replied.

Henry nodded and crouched down in front of Ethan, " You be good for Uncle Sebastian okay?", Ethan nodded vehemently. " Good, I love you, see you tomorrow, don't be afraid to tell Uncle Sebastian when you need something"

" Okay daddy, love you", Ethan said, giving Henry a hug and kiss.

Henry stood and Sebastian pulled him into a hug, " Love you daddy", he said in his best little kid voice.

Henry laughed and shoved him away.

" Alright little man, lets go", Sebastian said, holding his hand out for his nephew.

Ethan eagerly took it. They waved to Henry as they headed down the hallway. Sebastian's apprehension eased. He could take care of a kid, especially one who could talk to him. He would do anything for his brothers and if Henry was able to get some rest tonight then he would do what he could to help. Sebastian glanced down at Ethan to find him smiling adoringly up at him. Sebastian smiled. Yeah, he could do this.
