Chapter Text
It has been almost 2 weeks since Jackson almost died. Thankfully he was found in the trunk of a car and he went to the hospital ASAP. He woke up from a nap, looked over and saw Angela, pregnant belly and all, sitting right next to him.
“Hey you. How are you feeling?” Angela got up and softly grabbed his hand.
Jackson tried to move his back and groaned. “Like I got hit by a semi truck. Thankfully the doctors got the bullet out and it just missed my spine. I’m just so ready to leave. This bed is uncomfortable.”
“Yeah you’ve always been antsy staying in one spot for too long. You could barely handle watching over that money.”
“Grey said they found the guy thank god. What about you? You were kidnapped and taken to Guatemala! To be her surrogate!?”
Angela laughed and rubbed her belly. “I showed her whose boss. Nobody messes with Angela Lopez. Or Wesley Evers. Saved himself from death.”
Jackson and Angela spent the rest of the hour talking about her and the baby, how he doesn’t blame her for anything just thankful he survived.
Jackson wanted to be the best uncle ever, even if he had 4 others to fight with. Sure they can tell the baby childhood stories about their mother, but he can teach them how to ward off bad people and even punch a guy. Though maybe he will teach that away from Angela. Tim as well though he wants to be the fun uncle who teaches how to play sports.
He even made a onesie that said “Uncle Jackson is the best cop EVERS.” Wesley had a good laugh, Angela just rolled her eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jackson has moved back in with his dad. Sure he liked living with Lucy but an apartment is not big enough for a walker. Lucy, Angela and Nyla were coming over for a visit. Mostly because his dad had a pool with a jacuzzi and to give him updates on their lives. Seems he’s their therapist now.
*knock knock*
The girls walked in and started preparing for dinner. Angela wobbles over to the couch and lifts her feet up.
“Ugh this baby is killing me. I can’t see my feet anymore! I cried when I tried putting my shoes on. Wesley helped me and well..”
Jackson groaned. “Ugh as much as I love you and Wesley please let’s leave your sex talk at home. It was worse when you talked about your first time together in the shop.”
Nyla and Lucy joined with wine for the three of them, orange juice for Angela.
“God I miss wine so much. As soon as this baby comes, I’m asking for wine. Like as soon as I give birth.”
Nyla laughed. “I know what you mean. I was dying for coffee and sushi right after I had Lila. The nurses had a good laugh.”
“So Jackson, how are you feeling? I miss you living with me.” Lucy leaned over and hugged Jackson.
“I’m ok. Getting back to walking, lots of physical therapy. I might go back to the office but just do some desk work. Not quite ready to get back out there.”
Angela laughed. “Attacked and then getting shot. You got nine lives. Wesley still thinks he’s Superman from surviving getting stabbed but you have the one-up on him.”
They heard the oven ping and spent the rest of the night eating, drinking and going for a swim. Jackson almost barfed from all the sexy talk they were having. He also had a feeling Lucy and Tim had feelings for each other by the way she talked about him.
After they left, Jackson looked at the photos from the first time he started working. With Angela, Lucy, Nolan. Even the one Angela took after a suspect threw up on him. Maybe he will be able to go back to work. After all he does have nine lives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 months later
Wesley and Angela had their baby, a boy. They were sitting in the hospital room just staring at their son. His curly dark hair like his mom, smiles like his dad.
“He looks like your twin.” Wesley leans over and kisses Angela.
“Well I would hope so. I carried him for nine months!”
The doctor came in and checked his vitals, while the nurse asked for a name. They looked at each other and nodded their heads.
Jackson “Jack” Aaron Evers.
Angela and Wesley smiled when they filed out the paper work. Named after the 2 perfect men in their lives. Jackson and Wesley’s dad. Sure they could have used Angela’s dad’s name but given that she was never close with him, this seems better.
*knock knock*
The door opened with Jackson and a huge stuffed lion. He also had a box of candy and iced coffee for Angela.
“I come bearing gifts. Is it ok to come in?”
Angela laughed when she saw the lion. “Geeze that thing is bigger than you. Will it even fit in my house?”
Wesley grabbed the lion and set it on the couch along with the other gifts. “This kid can’t even lift his head and he’s already got enough toys for his room.”
Jackson was giving the baby googly eyes. Angela handed him over while Wesley sat down next to her and grabbed her hands.
“Hey little guy, I’m your Uncle Jackson. You may have 4 others, but at least I can teach you how to arrest a guy. Or even punch them out.”
Angela glares at Jackson. “Don’t even try it. Not even when he’s 5. Plus I will probably teach him that.”
“Are we trying to get him arrested before he’s 16?” Wesley threw his hands up.
“Who knows maybe he will be a cop like his mom, date and marry a nice lawyer and get his happily ever.” Jackson smirked.
Angela laughed. “Oh no I don’t want him to be a cop. I see him more as a basketball player or even a chef!”
Wesley grabbed the baby from Jackson and set him in his bassinet. “Alright let’s save the job talk until high school. Why don’t we tell Jackson his name?”
Jackson looked over and groaned. “Oh god please tell me it’s not Wesley Jr. or even after a snack or a Starbucks coffee.”
Angela rolled her eyes knowing how Jackson loved to make fun of her with their coffee breaks.
“No it’s not. Even better. Named after the 2 special men in our lives.” She got up and put her hand on Jackson’s shoulder.
“His name is Jackson Aaron Evers.” Angela said, starting to get tears in her eyes.
Jackson’s eyes went wide. “He’s named after me? Really!? Are you sure?”
“Of course! Welsey wanted Aaron after his dad, also you’ve been like my little brother since we met. And I know baby Jack will be looking up to you.”
Jackson and Angela hugged and cried while Wesley patted him on the back.
“I’m honored. Thank you so much. So does that mean I can tell him how I was the one who helped you two get together? And figured out that Wesley was going to propose?”
Angela laughed and shook her head. Jack started crying but stopped as soon as Jackson held him. Looks like they picked the perfect name.
