Samantha was currently asleep on Ross's couch, where she had crashed hours before. She groaned softly as she began to slip out of her sleep. She had awoken from the sound of soft sniffles in the other room.

She yawned and rubbed her eyes before slowly getting off the couch and tiptoed in the direction of the sniffles. She ended up at Ross's closed bedroom door. She frowned before opening up the door.

Ross was currently sat on his bed crying with his hands over his face. He couldn't even bury his face in his knees because his bump was in the way. Samantha knew exactly what was wrong and she just sat beside him and patted his head.

Ross looked up and sniffled. "M'sorry.. I didn't mean to wake you up," Ross sniffled. "It's okay.. I know you've been thinking a lot about leaving Ratliff and I get it. You miss him and you wish he was here, especially with your due date being next week and all," she consoled.

Ross nodded sadly as he wiped his eyes. "I-I just.. Why didn't he let me talk that day? He could still be w-with me.. A-And my baby won't be with just one parent," Ross stuttered as more tears replaced the ones he wiped away.

Samantha frowned. "Ross.. I understand. But you won't be alone. I'll help you in any way I can. I know it's not the same as having two biological parents, but I'll try to be there for any situation I can because you and this baby mean so much to me," Samantha assured.

"Thank you so much, Samantha. I-I know these almost nine months have probably been hectic. Y'know.. Dealing with my hormones and mood swings; and I apologize for them. But yet, you still stuck around when you could've just told reporters and tabloids about me running and being knocked up, but you didn't. And that means so much to me. And I don't know how, or if I'll ever be able to repay you," Ross admitted.

Samantha hugged him loosely, considering his bump was so large. Ross hugged back and smiled. After a moment, Samantha pulled away and grabbed the camera she was using to film his ultrasounds and random times they've just spent the day in Ross's flat.

"Hi baby girl.. Daddy's a week from his due date right now! We're so close to meeting you!" Samantha cooed after the camera started recording. "Daddy, say hi to the baby girl whose name you refuse to tell me," Samantha said before turning the camera to face Ross.

"Ew, no! I look hideous from crying and I look like a whale," Ross whine. before covering his eyes. "Oh c'mon. Just say hi," Samantha whined. Ross was reluctant, but he uncovered his face and sighed "Okay, fine. But only for my baby girl. Hi honey," Ross smiled as he waved.

"Daddy misses your other daddy," Samantha pouted. Ross sadly placed his hand on his baby bump and ignored what Samantha said.

Suddenly, a rush of pain ran through his stomach. He let out a cry of pain and leaned his head back in pain. Samantha quickly grabbed one of his hands and hid her pain as he roughly cluched it.

Samantha recognized the sounds he was making as he tried to endure the pain. Soon, the pain went away and he stared nervously at Samantha. "R-Ross.." Samantha stuttered. "Yeah?" Ross squeaked breathlessly.

"I-I think you're going into labor.."

Ross's eyes widened. "What?" he gaped. "Ross.. Your little girl is coming!" Samantha nodded in confirmation. "No she's not! I still have a week," Ross responded. "Babies can come a week early," Samamtha reminded. "She's not c- AHH!" Ross was roughly cut off by another jolt of pain. He clenched his teeth and held his stomach in pain.

Once the pain subsided again, he looked at Samantha nervously. "I-I'm really having a baby.." he gaped. Samantha nodded. "Please call," Ross whined softly. Samantha nodded and quickly dialed the number.

Ross took the camera that was still recording him and smiled as he tried to hide his nerves. "Looks like I'll get to meet you soon," Ross said before turning the camera off.


Ross and Samantha were in the hospital room. Ross was laying down and Samamtha was sitting on the bed. They were sitting and talking about random topics to get Ross's mind off of being in labor.

"Why do people find a YouTube cartoon serious about two llamas living together and one of them is a psycho murderer funny?" Samantha asksd. "First off, he's not a murderer. He's a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence," Ross sassed. "Secondly, because the creator makes it entertaining!" Ross added.

"But why? Literally I'm afraid to know how that guy actually thinks," Samantha responded. "I don't- Oh God, here comes another contraction!" Ross gasped. Samantha grabbed his hand quikcly as Ross went through another contraction.

The nurse walked in as Ross was having his contraction. The nurse looked suspicious as Ross's contraction took longer than usual. "Ross?" the nurse said. "Mhm?" Ross mumbled in pain as the contraction subsided.

"It's time for your c-section."

Ross gulped as he gave Samantha a panicked look. She gulped before nodding. Ross took a deep breath and nodded. "O-Okay, I'm ready," Ross eexhaled nervously.

The nurse pulled up a wheelchair and Samantha helped him in. Once Ross was securely in the wheelchair, the nurse wheeled him out of the room.


Once it was okay, Samantha ran down the halls to Ross's room with her camera in her hand. She hit the "record" button before knocking on the door. "Can I come in?" she asked softly. "Come in," Ross said even softer.

Samantha opened the door slowly and she gasped at the sight. Ross was laying in his hospital bed with his little baby girl asleep in his arms.

"Oh my God, she's precious!" she whispered as she went over and sat on the end of his bed. Ross smiled as the baby continued to sleep soundly in his arms. "What's her name?" Samantha asked as she moved the camera up to face Ross.

"Ellie Lee Lynch-Ratliff."

Samantha moved the camera back down to Ellie and smiled. "That's a perfect name," she complimented. "Thanks," Ross smiled.

Ellie turned her head a bit and her eyes slowly opened. Ross's heart fluttered as her little blue eyes faced his hazel ones. "Hi baby girl. I'm one of your dads. I never expected you but you're the best surprise I've ever gotten. I love you, Ellie," Ross croaked as tears began to fall from his eyes. Ellie smiled as Ross kissed her forehead. Then her eyes slowly closed as she drifted off to sleep again.

This was just the beginning of his new life.


I meant to finish this last week and I don't have any other excuse besides watching Glee from basically the beginning. But I got it like 10 minutes before midnight so it's all good!
