Disclaimer: I don't own Fraiser. This is an AU story.
Martin looked over at his sleeping wife. She was so beautiful and so peaceful. Hester had just given birth to their first child. It was a little girl named Louisa. She named her Louisa after some psychologist that she admired. Martin couldn't care what the baby was named. He was instantly in love for the second time.

I gave birth three hours ago. My heart is filled with joy and love. Louisa is 5 pounds 7 ounces and all girl
Martin couldn't believe his daughter was three weeks old already. She was getting hair. It was brownish blonde just like Hester's. She had his nose though.
"Martin," Hester said, "Do me a favor. Louisa needs a diaper change and I have to get in the shower-"
"I'm on it," he said.
Hester did so much for him and their baby. He actually enjoyed changing her. Unfortunately this time she had quite an odor in her diaper. He decided to bathe her too.
"Hey sweet girl," he said, "You know I've never been a father before. That's okay though. I'm learning and I love you."
He kissed her forehead. She giggled and splashed in her plastic tub.
"Are you trying to get daddy wet," he teased, "are you trying to get daddy wet?"
She giggled some more. Louisa was such a happy baby. When he was done bathing her and Hester was out of the shower he brought her in to be fed. Hester had decided to breast feed because it was healthier for the baby.

I love everything about being a mother. I love the feedings. I love the cuddling. I love her falling asleep in my arms. I love everything and it makes me so happy
Three months old and Martin wondered at Louisa's growth. She was already able to lift her head and flip from one side to another. Hester and Martin were always marking her growth and it was magnificent. Everything was perfect about this baby. Martin often remarked that he never knew how much love was possible until he met his daughter.

She'll be crawling soon. I can't believe it. She's growing every day. I didn't think it was possible to love a person more then I love Martin. Than, 3 months ago I gave birth and I met the love of my life.
At three years old Louisa started having crying jags. She would hold her head and sob uncontrollably. She started getting dizzy and one day she fell down. She couldn't get up. Hester and Martin rushed her to the hospital. She was diagnosed with a condition where there was not enough blood flow to the brain. The doctors said they would do all they could but they warned Hester and Martin that Louisa probably wouldn't live past her 4th birthday. It was too far gone.

The darkest day ever
The day I dreaded for months is finally here. Louisa died in her sleep this morning. My heart is broken. I feel lost and hopeless. This is the worst shock I have ever experienced. I fear that I will never be happy again. Martin hasn't stopped crying and screaming. I just want to join Louisa in heaven but I can't do that. I'm carrying another child.
- 4 months later Louis Fraiser Crane entered the world. Martin and Hester both cried as they welcomed their son

My rebirth
Today an amazing thing happened. Less then twenty minutes ago I delivered my second child. We named him Louis for Louisa Frasier after my favorite lab rat Crane. We're calling him Frasier for short. I will always love my firstborn but she is in heaven now. I am going to give my love in full to this new child and love my lost one in full as well.
