Author's Note: Short chapter, but I just wanted to wrap things up with the baby. More to come after this!

Serena led the way through the hospital up to the nursery. Mia and Kevin were behind her, very eager to meet their son for the first time. It had surprised them greatly when they heard he had been born during the storm, and they worried he hadn't gotten the care he needed because the streets in Harwood had been flooded. They had seen the damage for themselves because they had rented a hotel room in the city for easy access when Rebecca did go into labour. They had every intention of being there for the birth of their son. Fate thought otherwise.

Serena was also in town. She had gotten a call from Emma telling her Mr. Moran had died and someone needed to be with Gia. Serena had dropped everything to be there for the current yellow Ranger, and to her surprise that led her to finding out about the baby's birth before Mia and Kevin could, thanks to her Samuraizer getting through before the phone service could be repaired.

She opened the door to the nursery and Kevin and Mia rushed ahead to talk to the nurse and ask about their son. The nurse pointed to a bassinet and the three Samurai saw a girl sitting beside their baby. Serena frowned but Kevin and Mia walked over. Mia put her hand on the girl's shoulder.

"Rebecca?"

"Oh, hey," Rebecca looked up and recognized Kevin and Mia from the interview. Though she planned on giving up all rights to her child, she wouldn't be doing so without a say in his future. She had been allowed to choose who she wanted to raise her child and she was happy with her decision. Kevin and Mia seemed like good people and they had Troy's stamp of approval. She stood up, "Sorry, I was just…"

"It's okay," Kevin said. He then looked down at the baby, "Is that him?"

"Yeah," Rebecca moved out of the way so the parents could see. She congratulated them, told them to take good care of the baby, and then started to leave. Serena, who stayed by the door, saw the tears in her eyes. This was the hardest part of an adoption process and her heart went out to the young girl.

"He's in a good family," she whispered. Rebecca looked up.

"You're with them?"

"Mia's like a sister to me," Serena nodded.

"I guess that makes you his aunt," Rebecca said. She looked over her shoulder and sighed as she watched the happy parents hold their son for the first time. It was bittersweet for her. Her son would have a good life, and she knew she would move on to better things, but she would miss him terribly.

"I'm a mother, too," Serena said. "I've got two kids of my own…"

"So I guess you'll be around to give advice…"

"They won't need much of it," Serena shrugged her shoulders. "What I mean is I'd trust them with my kids. He's going to have a happy life."

"I don't doubt that. It's just… hard."

"I know," Serena said and opened her arms to the teenager. Rebecca didn't know what compelled her to hug a stranger, but she needed one desperately. She never wanted to be a mother, not at this age, but giving up her baby was still painfully hard.

"Good luck, kid," Serena smiled when Rebecca moved away. Rebecca offered her a small smile of gratitude before hurrying from the room. Serena watched her go with a heavy heart before heading over to see Mia and Kevin.

"Serena, look!" Mia cradled the little boy in her arms as she looked down at him with nothing but bliss, "He's so precious!"

"Are we calling him he all the time?" Serena asked as she gently stroked the baby's cheek and smiled.

"Jesse," Kevin told her. "Jesse Simon."

"Cute," Serena said. Kevin and Mia barely heard her, as they were too busy showering their new son with affection. Serena had to snap them back to reality, "Why don't we talk to the nurses about letting him go home with you guys?"

"Are you coming back?" Mia asked, "Or are you staying in Harwood a little longer for Gia?"

"I don't think she needs me much anymore. The family's doing better," Serena said. "We'll make a stop on the way home so I can say goodbye and then show off little Jesse to the rest of the whack-pack."

"I'll find a doctor," Kevin said as he walked ahead. Mia cuddled her little boy in her arms. Serena chuckled.

"Just like you dreamed?"

"Exactly," Mia nodded her head. "Once we get him home and we're with Riley, it'll be better."

"Better? Better than your lifelong dream of marrying prince charming, having the perfect house with the white picket fence, and the two kids?"

"Better," Mia nodded. "I have the most amazing husband, a beautiful house, and two perfect kids."

"You just got that one," Serena chuckled, "How do you know he's perfect?"

"Baby face," Mia smirked and pointed to her son's little face. Serena conceded.

"Yeah, baby face. Let's go show him off."
