"Katie," I heard Mike call as he entered the house.
"Lounge room Mike," I called back. He entered grinning his head off as he saw me.
"Oh stop that," I snapped crossly. I was 9 months pregnant, huge and grumpy about it yet he still made jokes and grinned when ever he saw me.
"Oh come on Katie," he said as he bent over to kiss me. "You know I think you're beautiful."
"Yeah right Mike," I said. "How can you think I'm beautiful w……?" I stopped.
"Kate are you okay?" Mike asked. I looked up at him.
"We need to get to the hospital," I said. "Right now!"
"What's the matter?" he asked as he helped me up.
"The baby's coming," I said.
"Oh dear," Mike exclaimed. "Let's go." He helped me out to the car and drove me instantly to the hospital. After we walked in he sorted me out and stayed by my side the whole time.
10 very tiring hours later I watched Mike hold our baby girl in his arms.
"She's beautiful," he said softly. I held my arms out and he placed her gently in them. I looked down at her.
"Jessica Elizabeth Flynn?" I said, looking up at Mike for confirmation.
"Jessica Elizabeth Flynn," he repeated looking down at the both of us and smiling.
"She looks like you," he said.
"She's still got your chin," I told him. "And she has to be pretty determined. After all she has us as parents."
"That's true," Mike said. "But she still has your eyes and I think she's going to have blonde hair." I laughed.
"Blonde hair?" I asked. "She's going to have brown hair just like her dad."

"You ready?" Mike asked me as we waited for Jessica to be discharged from the hospital.
"About as ready as I'll ever be," I replied softly. We both waited until the nurse brought our baby out to us. I took her in my arms and the three of us walked out to the car. I belted her into her car seat and Mike drove us home. The second we arrived he went ahead to open the door and I picked Jessica up.
"We're home now honey," I crooned at her as I walked inside and tucked her into her cot. She was very quickly asleep but Mike and I still stood there and watched her.
"I love her already," Mike murmured in my ear. I smiled up at him.
"I'm glad," I whispered back. "I couldn't live without either of you. Not now." He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and I leaned my head on his and together, we watched our baby sleep.
A/N: Now that is it but if I get enough reviews I might write a sequel :-) Thank you most of all to amy'foxy'fox for some of the ideas in these last two chapters. I really appreciated them.
