Fans of '90s sitcom "Boy Meets World" will be pleased to hear that Cory and Topanga's close bond extends even off the screen.

Danielle Fishel, 38, who played Topanga Lawrence during the show's seven-season run, recently shared a snap of the moment her former co-star and on-screen husband Ben Savage, 38, aka Cory Matthews, came to meet her newborn son Adler.

"The original Boy came to meet our boy," she captioned the shot of Savage smiling while holding the baby, who she placed a sticker over for privacy purposes.

She opened up on the harrowing birthing complications she experienced in a lengthy Instagram post.

"We still don't have Adler home with us because the deeply good doctors and nurses in the NICU are working diligently to find out why the fluid is there and determine the best way to get it out," she wrote.

"We feel helpless and powerless and useless and we wanted so badly to follow our 'birth plan,' unsurprisingly none of which involved leaving our beautiful baby boy at the hospital for the first weeks of his life," the actress added on her and husband Jensen Karp's state of mind at the time.

"Now we hope to never be back. :)," she added.
