A/N: First off I would like to give shout-outs to a few fanficnet writers for inspiring me. LittleAmberAmethyst, Viceroy Elf, and .Fun. There are a few chapters of this story that I was inspired to write because of their stories. Such as LittleAmberAmethyst's Valentine's Day story. I loved that story it was sweet, so I wanted to write it my own way in the context of my own head-cannon. It will be chapter 6. Viceroy Elf wrote The Drink which I thought was really cool. Again I wanted to write it my own way, so I did. The chapter with that story will be chapter 16. If you haven't already go read their fics. This is my first fic so be kind. this story is 28 chapters long, plus and epilogue, and 50K+ words. So bare in mind as you review nothing you say will influence the story one way or the other because its already been written. I hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Have fun.

Pines by Northwest

Chapter 1

That New Pines Smell

Dipper was pacing back and forth in the hospital waiting room. His head and heart filled with too many emotions. His head was filled with fear, scared that something could go wrong. His heart filled with love for the simple reason of why he, his family, and their closest friends were actually there. Mabel watched as her brother paced, eventually getting up from the seat that she had claimed with her knitting tools and yarn. "Dipper everything is going to be fine," she said trying to support her brother as best she could while also trying her hardest to keep her fear in check; this was much easier when she was knitting. Grunkle Stan noticed Dipper's apprehensive behavior too.

"Dipper, don't sweat it these doctors bring in loads of kids every day," Stan said trying his best to comfort his great nephew.

Dipper looked around the room at the faces of his friends and family. Grunkle Ford nodded in agreement, Wendy gave him a warm smile and a thumbs up, Soos reassuringly added, "Don't worry dude. You and Pacifica are going to make great parents!" bouncing his own toddler on his knee as his wife Melody watched remembering the day she brought their son Diego into the world. Sitting beside Soos and Melody was Dipper and Mabel's parents beaming with pride and happiness, and why wouldn't they be? They were about to become grandparents after all. Next to Dipper's parents sat Preston and Priscilla Northwest. They were both quite nervous and had a hard time sitting still, but not for any reason you may think. You see this was actually the first time they had seen their daughter in quite a long time.

About that time Pacifica's obstetrician walked through the door. "Dr. Pines." Dipper stepped quickly over to where the doctor stood bringing everyone's gaze with him. "Congratulations young man you are now officially a father. Pacifica is ready to see all of you." Dipper took off down the hall to his lovely wife's room with a procession of friends and family following swiftly behind him.

Rounding the corner and looking into the room before completely entering. Dipper and Pacifica's faces both bursting into tears of happiness, Dipper quickly moved over to the bed taking a seat. As Dipper looked at the small bundle of joy Pacifica was holding his face lit up, "What is it?" Dipper asked.

Pacifica not being able to resist said, "It's a baby you dork!" laughing behind her tears and in-between sniffles.

Dipper rolled his eyes and looked at her, "No, is it a boy or a girl?"

Handing off the small bundle to Dipper Pacifica said playfully, "She's a lady."

Pacifica wanted the gender of their baby to be a surprise. Dipper not liking any unsolved mystery had learned over the years to let some things go unanswered. Matter of fact he had almost lost Pacifica once because he wouldn't let go. He learned a lot from that mistake and vowed to never let it happen again.

Dipper looked at Pacifica, "After all my success in archaeology and the occult sciences if someone would have asked me what my greatest accomplishment in life was… Well yesterday I would have said you, but now…" he looked down at the wonder of life in his hands.

Dipper turned to show off his baby girl to all that stood in the room. Pacifica looking over the people there to support her and Dipper, she recognized two faces in the back. The faces of Preston and Priscilla Northwest. Her father stood with a mournful smile. It showed the sadness and regrets that he had, yet a soft smile filled with happiness and a twinkle of pride. Priscilla, not doing very well at holding herself together at this point, let it all out and went to her daughter's side crying and hugging her. These tears were filled with sadness and hope, sad with the guilt of what she and Preston had done to their daughter as a child, and hope that maybe this was finally a place they could make up and become a family again. To Pacifica's surprise in-between her mother's sobs she heard her ask for her forgiveness. Pacifica had waited thirteen years to hear this and as her mother held onto her Pacifica whispered "Of course." At this point the water works had been fully opened between the mother and daughter.

Dipper had of course heard the entire event but knew that they both needed it and chose to let them have their moment. Dipper got up from the bed to show off his crowning achievement to all who cared to see. Mabel being first brought over a tiny knitted cap and of course a sweater for her little niece. Mabel looked at Dipper, "I would have added a pine tree but there isn't much room on a newborn sized sweater," Dipper just smiled and gave his sister a hug.

Next up was his parents they both gave their son a hug and their newborn granddaughter a kiss, "Congratulations son," his father said.

His mother just giving him a big smile not being able to talk in her current emotional state. Grunkle Stan and Ford both beaming with pride because in that moment they couldn't be happier with their great nephew no words were needed between the three. Up next was Soos, Melody, and Diego.

"Congrats dude, and I'm serious you dudes are going to make great parents trust me."

Looking at the closest thing he had to a brother a single manly tear was shed between the two. As Dipper looked back up to see the next well wishers he came face to face with the Northwest's. Dippers face flattening a little not knowing exactly what to expect addressed Preston, "Sir."

Preston offered his hand and Dipper accepted it. They shook hands firmly.

"Pines we may have had our disagreements in the past but if you're willing to let bygones be bygones then how about we just let it all be water under the bridge?"

Dipper smiled, "I think our families need that Sir."

As Preston and Priscilla started to move on so as to let the next person have their turn congratulating the new father Preston turned, "Oh and if there is anything she might need do let us know we can't have our granddaughter growing up with anything but the best!"

Lastly was Wendy. Looking down at the newborn and tickling her face she looked back up and asked, "What are you guys going to name her?"

Dipper turned to look at Pacifica. She gave him a nod. Dipper turned back to the group, "We decided on Angelica if she was a girl. Angelica Northwest Pines."

A soft round of applause went around the room. About that time a nurse came in ushering everyone but the father out of the room so that Pacifica could get some rest.
