The next morning

Jessica looked down at the sleeping baby with tired eyes.

"We made her."

"We did."

"Helluva job if you ask me." Sarah said, earning a playful slap from Holland.

"She's beautiful." Holland said, grinning down at the baby.

"You can hold her."

"I'm afraid I'll break her."

Jessica chuckled and lifted the newborn to Holland. Sarah looked over Holland's shoulder at the newborn and Jessica's heart melted.

"Danny and I decided on a name."

"What is it?"

"Rue Catherine Huston."

Sarah gasped and went to Jessica, hugging her and beginning to cry.

"You were determined to help me when all hope was lost and I'll be eternally grateful for that."


"Oh Jessica, her name is beautiful."

"Kathy basically picked her first name." Jessica laughed.

"Is she coming to meet her?"

"Yes, her and Ryan are coming later."

"Good, make sure to rub it in that Rue is named after me."

Jessica rolled her eyes and grinned.

"I'll tell him, but I won't be bragging." She laughed.

Danny walked through the door with Chick-Fil-A bags in his hands.

"Oh Danny did I ever tell you how much I love you?" She practically moaned at the thought of food.

"Hungry much?" Sarah asked as she gave Jessica a look.

"Ruesie okay?" Danny asked as he looked around.

"She's perfect." Holland said staring down at her.

"Danny's feigning." Sarah laughed as Danny waited like a small child for Rue.

Holland gave the baby to Danny who instantly grinned.

"Hello Ms. Rue, how's daddy's number one girl?"

Jessica fake gasped and looked over at him.

"Sorry babe." He laughed.

"Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kathy are here! How's my little baby doing?!" Kathy squealed as she opened the door.

"Say doing jusssst fine Aunt Kathy."

Ryan and Kathy walked over to Danny to peek at Rue.

"Hello pretty lady, you're gonna be uncle Ryan's next big star!"

Jessica rolled her eyes and smiled.

"I hope she doesn't grow up to be an actress or a dancer. I hope she does something saner. Being normal is vastly underrated."
