"Doc, baby, you've got this! You can do this!" John told her while wiping the hair from her forehead, and staring into her wide hazel eyes.
"One more push, Marlena, and we're going to have a baby," the midwife told her with confidence.
Marlena looked around at her children Eric, Sami, and Carrie, with Brady in her arms. They were all here for the event, and they were about to add one more. Marlena and John had decided on a home, water birth for their daughter. They wanted to bring her into the world surrounded by the love of them all. She pushed with all of her might, and felt the slide of the baby as she fell free of her womb. The midwife immediately placed her on Marlena's chest, while she cried, and counted all of the little fingers and toes.
"This is our family, Doc. Our perfect family," John told her kissing her softly on the lips.
"So, Daddy who won?" Sami asked excitedly.
"Who won what?" John asked as if he had no idea what she was talking about, and smirking at Marlena, who had eyes only for her dark haired baby girl.
"The name! Which name did you pick?" Sami said.
"Oh, that. Doc, you want to tell them?" John asked Marlena.
"I'd like to introduce you to your sister, Scout," Marlena said softly.
"I won!" Sami screamed.
