A/N: Here it is, the sequel to People Change. It'll be fun to write this, and hopefully y'all will have fun reading it. So come along on this journey with me, as we learn about Cody and Bailey's daughter! Also, go easy with the baby details. I know nothing about babies, just let it go and enjoy the story. Other than that, constructive criticism is good.

She was beautiful. Even now, Cody was speechless every time he looked at her, no matter that she was the first thing he saw every morning for the past twenty four years. He smiled.

"What are you smiling about?" Bailey asked, smiling at him.

"Just thinking..." He trialed off. Bailey looked into his eyes.

"About what?" She asked.

"Just that I have the most beautiful wife in the world." Bailey's smile became ever brighter, and she leaned toward him to kiss him. After, her eyes trailed downward to her round belly.

"Another few weeks, and our daughter will be here." She said, rubbing her stomach. Cody put his hand over her's.

"I can't believe this is happening. I'm so nervous..." Cody said. Bailey looked up at him.

"Hey, don't worry," She caressed his cheek with her free hand, "You'll be a great father. I know you will." She smiled at him, and after a while, he smiled as well. "Alice will love you, and you'll be the greatest father to her that you can possibly be."

...Two Months Later...

"There's that smile again, Cody." Bailey said to him, as he looked down at their daughter.

"They...they always describe parenthood as a beautiful thing. You read all these books on parenting and they all say what a magnificent thing is...but you never really understand until you can hold your child in your hands. She's so beautiful." He said, smiling. Bailey looked at him, grateful that she had won his heart. With every new day that dawned, she fell more in love with him, no matter that they'd been together for well over twenty years. She went to stand with her husband, and together, they stared down at the life they had created.

...One Year Later...

"CODY! CODY GET THE CAMERA AND COME QUICK! ALICE IS WALKING!" Bailey shouted. Cody came dashing into the room, holding the camera. He quickly started recording, as he stared at their daughter's first big milestone in her life.

"Oh my god...she's walking, Bailey. She's walking!" Together they laughed with pure bliss as they watched their child make her way to her father's legs, and tug at them.

"Dada" She gurgled, and Cody looked at Bailey in amazement.

"S-she called me Dada." He nearly dropped the camera as he knelt to his daughter's side, and hugged her. She giggled.

"Dada!" As she wrapped her tiny arms around his neck. Bailey walked over and hugged the both of them tearfully.

...Five Years Later...

"Daddy, I don't want to go! I'm scared!" Alice looked at him, her eyes overflowing with tears, burning tracks down her face. Cody smiled gently at her.

"Don't worry Alice. You'll do fine. And you can make lots of new friends! Wouldn't you like that?" He said. Alice nodded a little bit.

"N-new friends?" She asked.

"Yes, of course! You'll like school. Trust me." He said, still smiling.

"Okay, Daddy..." She said. Even though she agreed, Cody still had a hard time getting her out of the car, as she kept forgetting things. Eventually, he walked her into the school and to her classroom. He introduced himself to her teacher, Mrs. Adams. Alice ran over to a group of girls and quickly got into a discussion with them, about what, he didn't know know.

"Hi, I'm Cody, little Alice's father." He said, smiling and reaching out his hand. The woman took it and shook. She had a strong grip.

"I'm Lucinda Adams. She's a cute little girl." She smiled warmly. Cody liked her and wished Bailey could have come, but she was too busy in the office.

"Yes she is. She's smart, too. But," He looked at his watch, "I'm afraid I have to go, or I'll be late for work." Mrs. Adams smiled and nodded. Cody walked over to Alice and hugged her tightly.

"Daddy's got to go to work now, okay honey? Mommy will be picking you up today, and I expect a full report of your first day as soon as I get home, okay?" He said, jokingly stern. Alice giggled.

"Okay Daddy. I love you!" She said, hugging him tight.

"I love you too." He said, and walked out the door. As he walked out, he looked to the side and saw a white mist hovering outside the doorway of the classroom. He nodded to it, and it moved slightly, as if nodding in return.

"Keep her safe." He said to it, then left the school.
