Jimmy left some cash for Roland to make sure that he would not have any problems in his daily life, as for the source of the cash, no one could find anything from the cash anyway, at most there was a little bit of powder residue on it, anyway, Roland's daily expenses must be fine.

It's just that what Roland wants to bring to the Dark Tower World needs to think about it, and the energy of the portal in the Dark Tower World is always a big problem, the fuel is insufficient, and it is difficult to raise oil elsewhere, he will not go back and forth too often, and he must be all ready.

Jimmy didn't think too much about it, as Nia's delivery approached, he was even more nervous than Nia, if it wasn't for something in the bureau, he would have stayed at home with Nia.

It's 09 years now, after most of last year's subprime mortgage crisis, the depressed atmosphere of the whole society has been completely unstoppable, whether it is corporate bankruptcy or ordinary people unemployed, a large number of them have appeared during this time, which has further soared the crime rate of the whole society, and the workload of the FBI has also increased a lot.

The support team led by Jimmy is just him.,For special reasons.,He hasn't received a support mission for more than half a year.,It's a state where everyone else is busy and only he's idle.,Usually if you go to the office, you'll find that except for him.,The rest of the people are busy investigating or handling cases.。

But many times he still needs to participate in some case briefing and other meetings, maybe these cases do not require him to participate, but as a field agent in the management he still needs to understand, this is also what Dave and they mean, it is impossible to let Jimmy disappear completely in the office, always show that there is such a person in the office, so he can't completely herd the sheep at home and rest, which is why Roland came back only Nia was at home and Jimmy was not there.

Although Jimmy didn't go to the office much, Roland was lucky enough to come over when Jimmy wasn't at home, and he stayed on the stairs for a few hours.

When Jimmy returned home, he happened to meet Father Rodney who came to visit Nia, and Jimmy greeted Rodney and sat down next to Nia.

Father Rodney, of course, didn't come empty-handed, but he still carried his suitcase that he had been out with when he went out, and after talking to Jimmy and Nia, he took an old Bible and began to walk around the house, including the basement, and did a simple purification ritual along the way.

Father Rodney had some doubts about the mess in the basement, but Jimmy prevaricated it, so there was no need to tell Father Rodney about this kind of thing, once they knew that there was a portal to other worlds, maybe they would do something like conquering the other world.

Jimmy and Nia have become accustomed to Father Rodney's operation, since Jimmy and Nia moved into this house, Father Rodney will come over once a month on average, Jimmy of course knows the reason, Father Rodney is mainly to avoid any accidents during Nia's pregnancy, affecting the unborn child, but the rhetoric on Nia's side has become his supernumerary exorcist as the church, Jimmy specially invited Father Rodney to help pray and bless them safe, It is equivalent to robbing the church of the credit.

Of course, this is not for nothing, Father White and Father Rodney have already communicated with Jimmy, and after the birth of the child, Father Rodney will baptize him/her and become the godfather of the child.

Nia is not a believer, but she still maintains her respect for religion, so she did not object when Jimmy told Nia about this arrangement, at least she saw the church's care for their family during her pregnancy, and Jimmy was very proud to have such a face in the church.

After Father Rodney left, Jimmy went to the study, this time he rushed back from the office temporarily, which was still a little delayed, but his laptop at home has also been reported, and the technical department has done security processing, and he can directly connect to the FBI database at home to check the information reported on the previous case, after all, there was a meeting, even if it was just to be worthy of this salary, how much to see.

The due date is approaching day by day, and it is becoming more and more difficult for Nia to go out on her own, Jimmy simply took a long leave to stay at home, in addition to hiring a maid, Nia's mother also came over every other day or two to stay, fortunately, there are enough rooms in the newly built small building, otherwise it is really difficult to arrange it.

North Hill Medical Center, a top medical institution known for its excellent maternal and child care services, is still a little difficult for ordinary people to make an appointment, but this is not too much of a problem for Kevin.

As early as when he learned that Nia was pregnant, Kevin had already started arranging, and it was not a problem for Kevin to find a suitable mother and child center, as for whether they would give the NYPD director a face, he didn't have to think about it at all, this is New York, there are so many rich people, but the NYPD director in charge of security is the only one, and he has a good relationship with the mayor.

Jimmy has no experience at all, so naturally he can only let Kevin arrange it.

Closer to their due date, Jimmy and Nia had already visited the North Mountain Medical Center to see and learn about the delivery facilities and procedures, and had a complete check-up for Nia, including checking the baby's heart rate, and then waiting.

Jimmy also attended a special medical training session at the time of Nia's check-up, and the North Hill Medical Center encourages husbands to participate in the delivery of their wives, which is mainly to provide emotional support to soon-to-be parents, but only after being trained by the hospital and reminded of the various do's and can'ts of the various key stages, and only after the training doctor confirms that Jimmy understands these things can he accompany him during the delivery.

As a completely inexperienced father-to-be, Jimmy certainly did everything he could, and the results of his training were very good.

When Nia felt the regular contractions, Jimmy immediately notified her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and drove her directly to the North Mountain Medical Center and checked into the delivery room that had been booked in advance.

The wait in the delivery room was the most anxious, but fortunately, the medical team here was great, and the doctors and nurses repeatedly explained the current situation to them, which also relieved Jimmy and Nia's tension a lot.

Kevin and his wife arrived at the hospital together, but only Jimmy was in a sterile gown and was in the delivery room, and the two of them had to wait outside.

As the contractions intensified, the obstetrician and nurses also entered a tense moment, constantly encouraging Nia to exert herself, while Jimmy held Nia's hand tightly beside her, occasionally assisting the nurse to wipe the sweat from her face.

After a few hours of hard work, their child, a healthy baby boy, was finally born, and the doctor immediately placed the baby on Nia's chest for skin-to-skin contact, so that Nia could see her baby first.

"Nia, look, our kid ......" Jimmy excitedly tried to reach out and touch, but restrained.

The child was cleaned and examined by the doctor, and Jimmy came to the window and nodded to the Kevin couple outside, before returning to Nia.

The baby was soon sent back, and Jimmy and Nia spent a precious golden hour, having their first intimate contact with the baby, and the nurse helped Nia start trying to breastfeed for the first time.

Nia held the child with a tired face, the smile on her face never faded, she looked at Jimmy, "His name ......"

Jimmy turned his head to look out the window, where Kevin and his wife were standing looking at the delivery room, "They're still outside, wait for them." ”

Nia was transferred to the postpartum recovery room, at which time Kevin and his wife were finally able to contact her, and when they learned that Jimmy and Nia had not yet reported the child's name, Kevin looked at Jimmy: "Jimmy, the child's name ......"

Jimmy glanced at Nia and said to Kevin, "We want to ask for your opinion, I named him Liam. ”

Kevin: "I don't have any opinion, you are the father of the child, and the right to name him lies with you." ”

Jimmy nodded, "Also, I want to use Miller as his middle name." ”

Kevin was taken aback by this surprise, he turned his head to look at Nia, Nia also looked surprised, Jimmy had discussed the child's name with him before, but never said the middle name, Kevin couldn't help but raise his voice: "Really? Are you sure? ”

Jimmy nodded to Kevin, then looked at Nia, "Sorry, I didn't discuss it with you before, I hope ......"

Before Jimmy could finish speaking, Kevin hugged him, and he patted Jimmy on the back excitedly, obviously Jimmy didn't need to continue.

Kevin turned his head to look at Nia and the child next to him: "Liam Miller Young, my grandson, I ...... I'm so happy. ”

Jimmy patted Kevin, and Kevin let go of Jimmy, but the excitement still made him tremble slightly, this surprise came a little suddenly, Nia was his only daughter, and now his grandson has inherited his surname, even if it's just his middle name, it still makes him very excited.

Nia was only in the medical center for three days, and the medical team closely monitored her and the baby's health, and also taught her how to care for her newborn, including feeding, diaper changing, bathing, and a series of follow-up things she would do, as well as her diet and other aspects of knowledge, which Jimmy also had to know, after all, there were some things he had to learn to do.

After the doctor confirmed that Nia and baby Liam were in good health, they were ready to go home, when Jimmy and they came to the house, Kevin and they had already arranged a simple welcome ceremony in advance to congratulate the new life coming to the house, not only Kevin's family, but also Father Rodney and Dave and Ruiz were present, and they didn't know how they got the news, anyway, Jimmy had completely forgotten to inform them these days.

Nia and the child just make a brief appearance and return to the prepared bedroom, while Jimmy accompanies the others in the house to chat about happy topics, and the atmosphere is very warm.

Father Rodney asked the child's name, and when he learned it was Liam, he couldn't help but nod: "Liam, staunch protector, this is a good name." ”

Of course, there is another point he did not say, the ancestors of the Miller family are from England, and now it is appropriate to have an Irish name (Uilliam), at least not a purely Chinese name, which is very much in line with their expectations.

In fact, Jimmy didn't give the child a Chinese name, he still remembered the bracelet he wore when he crossed over, and he planned to leave that bracelet to Liam, including the name.

However, in these years of life, he deeply understands this society, in order for the child's future life to be smoother, the first name must be English, and the Chinese name is only applicable to specific occasions, and it depends on how his road goes in the future.

The days of having children always pass very quickly, and the time every day always feels insufficient, of course, the sleep time is definitely not enough, even if there is a maid at home who can do a lot of things, but Jimmy and Nia always feel that they can't do without that little guy, even if they just watch him sleep, they can be in a daze for a while.

Liam's baptism was scheduled to take place a month after the birth of the child, and of course the baptism was still held at St. Andrew's Church on Staten Island, presided over by Father Rodney, which was decided by Father White.

And before the baptism, Father White came once and took two priests to do a thorough inspection of Liam's nursery, and this time even Nia didn't believe Jimmy's nonsense, so she rushed at Father White and Father Rodney, saying that it was for Jimmy, and it was impossible to think with his knees.

Putting Liam to sleep and putting him in the crib, Nia pulled Jimmy into their bedroom, reached out and closed the door and stared at Jimmy, "You have to tell me clearly, Father Rodney, what the hell are going on with them?" ”

Jimmy couldn't hide it anymore, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Nia, calm down, take a deep breath, yes, relax." Well, it's true that they didn't come for me, but for Liam. But this is still caused by me, I am a very rare physique, I can accept the physique of the Holy Light, which is why I can become a supernumerary exorcist of the church. ”

Nia blinked, "What does that have to do with Liam?" ”

Jimmy: "They think that my constitution can be passed on to children, and I am already an adult, so naturally it is impossible for me to join the church and become an official exorcist, and Liam, my child has a good chance of having the talent to become a top exorcist." ”

Nia gritted her teeth and looked at Jimmy, stared at him for a while, and then rushed up directly, punching him a few times: "FK U!" My children will be lawyers, doctors, politicians, and there will be no way for me to join a church and become a pastor! Jimmy, that's your child, how can you just give him to the church guys! ”

Jimmy took a few punches before grabbing Nia's hand, "Calm down, it's just a possibility, it's not for them to take him away." Listen to me! Listen to me! ……”

After Nyoa calmed down a bit, Jimmy continued: "I will not allow the church to send him to a religious school for training, he will live a normal life like an ordinary child, there will be no difference." Believe me. ”

Jimmy pulled Nia to sit on the bed, "Nia, you already know that this world is not safe, and with the extra care of these people, at least Liam will have a lot more security than ordinary people, it's not that I don't love him, I'm here to make him safer, a higher starting point than others." ”

Jimmy had long thought about how to deal with this situation, but when it came to the end, he still couldn't get Nia to calmly accept this arrangement. (End of chapter)
