Hours later, and he was sure, absolutely sure, that there was a well worn path in the hall from his endless pacing back and forth. Surely it shouldn't take this long; surely the doctors would have come out and told him if something was wrong, surely...
"Boss-man, c'mon, you gotta chill, yo," Reno called out from the chair in the waiting room, where he had positioned himself with magazines, and his feet up on the coffee table. "She's gonna be fine, relax,"

Today, he was a father.
