AN: Okay so this little piece should keep everyone going till my muse lets me finish the other piece I am working on. Same pairing as before, set in an alternate universe.
Caroline was exhausted, not that she would let on, but she couldn't take her eyes of the beautiful sight in front of her, her partner holding their newborn daughter in his arms, singing softly to her in an attempt to coax her off to sleep. It had been just over six hours since the birth and finally, they had been released from the hospital and allowed to head home. Caroline was lying down on the sofa, a blanket draped over her legs and a pillow, stolen from their bed, under her head.
Jem looked up from their daughter and noticed Caroline looking at him with a content smile on her face.
"You really should get some rest, you must be knackered." Jem said, "I'll keep an eye on the munchkin."
"You're right but I cannot be bothered to head upstairs." Caroline mumbled sleepily, "Plus, I'm enjoying the view."
Jem smiled at her before turning his attention to their baby daughter, she had Caroline's grey/blue eyes and his blonde curls, a lethally cute combination which he knew was going to cause him no end of trouble when she finally started dating. Luckily he had a long time to go before he had to worry about that.
"She's perfect," Jem said, he looked back up at Caroline, "Just like her mum."
Caroline sat up and swung her legs off the sofa. Slowly, she stood up and walked over to her family and wrapped her arms around Jem's waist, her cheek resting on his back.
"I love you." She whispered, "So much."
"I love you too," Jem replied, "Both of you."
Neither of them could ever have imagined that one night together, a few years before, could ever have lead to this perfect moment but here they were, together with their daughter; a perfect little family.
