"Dad? Dad, c'mon, wake up! Elise, wake up!" Elise rubbed the sleep out of her light brown eyes,
"What is it Eric? You okay?" He nodded,
"Mommy came in a little bit ago, the baby came!" Elise sat bolt upright,
"It did?!" She started shaking Keith,
"Dad! Dad! Wake Up! The Baby's Here!" Keith yawned, and ruffled her hair,
"Okay, I'm up." He noticed Jessica standing in the doorway,
"Having a little nap?" He grinned sheepishly, his blonde hair flopping over his eyes,
"Maybe." She rolled her eyes,
"C'mon. Bryon and Aria want us to help name the little dear." Keith stretched,
"Okay, girl or boy?" Jessica grinned,
"You'll see."
"Yeah, because that's super helpful." Elise and Eric were chattering away, down the hall. Keith grabbed her shirt sleeve,
"Nothing went wrong, right?" She shook her head,
"Nope. Perfect Delivery." Keith let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding.
"Good. I don't know what kind of things Bryon would've done if it didn't."
"I understand. Nothing went wrong, although there were some surprises."
"Good ones or bad ones?"
"Very good ones. Both mom and daughter are faring well, and the baby has no health problems." When they got to the room, Keith looked in, Aria was sitting up, her hair rumpled, and eyes still glazed over a bit, but Bryon was up, alert, and holding a small pink bundle, his eyes were wide with fear, and his hair & clothes were rumpled as well.
"Oh, look at how cute she is!" Elise whispered.
"Look at how tiny she is. Was I that tiny mom?" Eric looked up from the bundle, looking expectantly at Jessica.
"No, you were a bit bigger." He giggled.
"How ya doing Aria?" Keith turned his attention to her,
"I'm okay, a little tired, but okay."
"Good."
"So," Bryon started,
"What should we name her?"
"Christie!"
"Elouise."
"Charlotte."
"Well, Eric, what do you think?" Aria and Bryon looked at him,
"I think, I think we should call her Annesley." Both of his parents looked at him,
"Eric, that's perfect." Bryon said.
"Thank you." Eric smiled shyly,
"Good." Aria nodded,
"Perfect. Annesley Christine Wynne. I hope you don't mind me altering your name suggestion Elise." Elise shook her head,
"Nope, not at all." Aria glanced down at her tiny baby, She looks just like my sister, Anne Christine Anderson. She thought.

Something shifted in the shadows outside the house, he had gotten the information he needed.
"I will be the one to bring down these two families, and I'll do it brilliantly." He slips back into the shadows,
"I'll be the one. I'm going to show them. You don't have to be altered to be a good E.G.H." His eyes glittered with the thought, and his smile stretched across his lips exposing all of his perfectly white teeth,
"I'll show them."
