Anita (smiling): Let's go get our baby girl, & go home.

Luke nodded, & they gathered their things, went down to the Nursery to meet the Head Nurse, Nurse Stevenson.

Nurse Stevenson was finishing up getting Pamela all ready for home, & she smiled at Luke & Anita, when they entered the room, she said this to them.

Nurse Stevenson (smiling): We are done with the Exam, & she did perfect, if there is any questions, don't hesitate to come back, you have the Instructions we gave you, Right?

Luke & Anita nodded, & Nurse Stevenson nodded to them concluding with this.

Luke took the baby from the Elderly Nurse, & he held her in a protective manner, then he & Anita said together.

Luke & Anita (in unison): Thank You.

They left Tri-County Hospital, & went home in the "General Lee", they were so excited, & they can't wait to start being parents to their child.

Meanwhile Cooter, Bo, & Jesse were hanging a "Welcome Home, Pamela" outside, & Daisy was cooking up a storm, while she was doing that, the boys were almost done with their task, & Bo stood back, & said with a smile.

Bo (smiling): It looks great, Guys.

Cooter, & Jesse went to join the young Duke, & Cooter said smiling a big smile.

Cooter (smiling & nodded in agreement): It sure does, Buddyroo.

All of sudden, they heard the "General Lee" coming into the driveway, & Bo called for Daisy, & they all went to meet the newest addition to their family, & they took pictures, Anita was ready to put Pamela down for a nap, but Luke stopped her, & said to her smiling.

Luke (smiling): Let me do it, Honey, I need the practice, & you need the rest, Doc Appleby said you should rebuild your strength, & take it easy for a day.

Anita (smiling): Thanks, Darlin', I owe you a big one.

Luke (hopeful): Later?

Anita (smiling, & nodded): Later.

She handed over Pamela to Luke, & he went to put her in her new room, then he hurried back to join the group, & after awhile it was time for everyone to call it a night.

Cooter (smiling as he got up & gave Anita a kiss on the cheek): She is really a beautiful baby, Anita, You & Luke deserved all the happiness that she brings to your lives.

Anita (smiling too, & gave Cooter a kiss back): Thanks, Coot, We want you & Bo to be Godfather to her.

Cooter (smiling): I accept, Thank you.

Cooter left, & Bo went to bed early, cause he had to do some changes to the "General Lee" before he had to race her that weekend, he gave his new niece a kiss, & went to his room, Daisy gave her a kiss, & said smiling.

Daisy (smiling): Good Night, Sugar, I will see you in the morning.

She went to her bedroom, & Jesse had his moment with the baby, & he went to bed, it was a good night for the Duke Clan, & nothing can ruin it or change it.

Luke & Anita went to their bedroom, & they changed for bed, they got settled in, & Anita asked her husband an important question.

Anita: Are you really happy with everything, Luke?

Luke (smiling): Of course I am, I always wanted a family, & my wish came true. I love you, & our new baby daughter, I couldn't ask for anything more. I love you, Mrs. Duke. (He gave her a soulful kiss): Good Night, Darlin'.

Anita (smiled): Good Night, Honey.

They wrapped themselves in each other's arms, & they felt secure that their family is complete for now, & that there won't be any worries for the time being.

That weekend, the Dukes went to see Bo race, & he won, Anita & Pamela went too, they were so proud of their loved one, that they went home for a private celebration, when Bo went outside to relax, Anita came out to join him, he looked at his Cousin-in-law with a smile, & said.

Bo (smiling): Thanks for everything, I appreciated it, & loved everything about it.

Anita (smiling): You deserved it, Honey, We are so proud of you, you make us so happy.
