DJ kissed Kath's head, then his daughter's. "I'll be right back." He whispered, not wanting to disturb the baby and Kath smiled at him. She was completely exhausted, but she was the happiest she'd ever been. She had her daughter, she was a Mom - she was completely in love with her.

"Hurry back," Kath whispered and she laughed as DJ took another picture with his phone. "Stop." She complained tiredly, making DJ chuckle and he pecked her lips before walking out of the recovery room and towards the relatives' room. Karla left the room whilst Kath was being shown how to breastfeed her daughter, leaving to assure Miles, Marco, and Rommel that both mother and daughter were healthy. DJ looked down at his phone, grinning at the picture and how it came out - he was obsessed with his girls.

He knocked on the door to the relatives' room before letting himself inside, everybody instantly standing up

He knocked on the door to the relatives' room before letting himself inside, everybody instantly standing up.

"How are they?" Miles demanded to know, gripping onto Marco's hand and DJ nodded his head, tears brimming his eyes.

"They're perfect... they're so perfect." DJ choked out, hugging Miles back when she hugged him tightly around the neck. He held onto her so tightly that she was lifted from the ground but neither of them cared and Karla was still crying softly with Rommel. She'd been telling them all how well Kath coped with her labor, how beautiful her new granddaughter was. "You wanna meet the baby?" DJ breathed.

"I've been waiting to hear that question for months," Rommel said, giving his son a hug and DJ gave Marco a hug too before they walked out of the room together and DJ led them to Kath's recovery room, knocking quietly on the door before leading them all in. He wanted nothing more than to take his place by Kath's side, but he let their family get closer to the bed since as they hadn't seen the baby yet and he grinned as they all gave Kath a hug and kiss, even Marco started to cry at the sight of the newborn who was peacefully sleeping in her Mom's arms, still gripping onto one of Kath's fingers.

"Oh, she's so tiny." Miles choked out, making Kath laugh and she kissed her daughter's brunette tufts of hair.

"The best things in the world come in small packages, isn't that right, princess?" DJ cooed, making Kath smile.

"I'd pass her around, but I don't wanna wake her - plus, her grip is strong for her being an hour old." Kath breathed and Rommel leaned down, kissing Kath's head.

"You keep her in your arms, sweetheart, we have the rest of her life to give her cuddles - as long as I get some love from my granddaughter, I don't care," Rommel assured her, making Kath smile. Tears were constantly burning in her eyes, she was overjoyed - she just wished she got this moment with Junior, but she knew her son would be looking out for his baby sister.

"Does she have a name yet?" Marco asked, a smile on his face as he admired the sleeping baby girl and Kath looked over at DJ, who motioned for her to tell them. He couldn't wipe the grin from his face. Kath smiled down at her daughter before looking up at Miles.

"We decided to call her Camille." She breathed and Miles's eyes widened, tears instantly rolling down her cheeks.

"W-What?"

"Without you, I wouldn't even be here right now... and if my daughter grows up to be half as kind and incredible as you, I know we would have done something right - I'd be the proudest Mom in the world," Kath said, smiling as Miles locked her arms around her, in tears as she stared down at the little girl who was still sound asleep in Kath's embrace.

"Oh, you gorgeous little thing... you don't know how lucky you are." Miles breathed, leaning down and kissing her head. "I promise, I'll be the best Auntie for you."

"Godmother." DJ corrected and Miles whimpered.

"You're gonna make me have an emotional breakdown in front of the baby!" Miles complained, trying to control herself and DJ chuckled.

"You'll be her godmother then? And Marco, you'll be her godfather?" DJ asked, coming closer so that he was stood at the foot of the bed and he chuckled as Marco hugged him tight and DJ hugged him back. "I'll take that as a yes." He said, Marco, nodding his head.

"Of course!" Miles agreed, sniffling and she caressed Camille's cheek but she stopped as the baby girl stirred.

"Baby girl..." Kath cooed, running her thumb across the back of Camille's hand that was holding onto her finger. She laughed tiredly as their family all gasped and cooed as Camille woke up, showing off her beautiful eyes and long eyelashes - the same eyes as her Mom. "You want to have a cuddle with Auntie Miles, baby girl?" Kath whispered, letting Miles take the baby and she only let go of her daughter when she was sure that Miles had a hold of her and was supporting her head, Miles immediately rocking her gently.

"I'll try really hard not to cry on you." Miles vowed to the baby, making everybody laugh and Kath relaxed back against the bed, watching as the family all cooed over the latest addition, DJ radiating pure pride.
