Jasper Sherwood rushed forward and asked, "Where's my wife? How is she?"
The nurse was taken aback for a moment, then explained, "The mother is doing very well, too. She'll be out shortly."
Only then did Mr. and Mrs. Donovan breathe a sigh of relief, quickly hurrying over to dote on their new grandson.

Nina Donovan stayed in the hospital for three days before being brought back home.
Jasper Sherwood asked Nina Donovan to name the baby.
