In the next two months Jamie said goodbye to the 12th moving into 1pps an advisor to the commissioner and finished the baby's room just after Eddie's 9th month. She was scheduled to deliver right after Labor Day but their baby decided they couldn't wait.

Jamie finished helping Teddy into his new blue button down dress shirt like daddy wears to watch his black dress pants. "Looking good buddy, ready for the barbecue," Jamie asked taking Teddy's hand.

Downstairs Eddie now nine months trudged around the kitchen making sure she had everything for the barbecue. "Jamie, you ready to go," she yelled upstairs as she closed the bag to avoid Jamie dropping anything.

When Jamie didn't answer Eddie turned ready to walk to the bottom step and try again. Eddie made it to the living room when something gushed from her and a sharp pain hit her stomach causing her to double over.

"Oooh Jamie!" Eddie took deep breaths, rubbing her stomach doubled over not hiding the grimace on her face.

Jamie picked up Teddy hearing distress in Eddie's voice and rushed down to her side. "The baby is coming, it's time," Eddie told him.

Eyes wide Jamie dishes his cell out going to grab the bag they packed in case needing to rush out. "Danny you by dad's? It's time I'm taking Eddie to the hospital." Jamie ended the call getting the message across, using his free arm to help Eddie into the car.

By the time they managed to settle Eddie and teddy in the back Danny flew around the corner stopping by the car breathless. "I'll drive, coach your wife," he panted taking the keys from his brother.

With Jamie in the back helping Danny drove them to the nearest hospital where the family would meet later. Even without sirens Danny got them safely to their destination in twenty minutes. "Get her inside I got Teddy. Hey, congratulations kid."

Jamie rushed Eddie inside where they met by a team of doctors and nurses who helped Eddie into a wheelchair. One of the nurses threw a kit at Jamie to put on over his clothes as they settled Eddie on the bed.

"Blood pressure and temperature looks good for both," a nurse informed with a smile. She gave Eddie's shoulder a little tap to reassure him.

"Okay she's fully dilated and ready to go so Eddie let's do this shall we," the doctor grinned just as Jamie took his place beside her. Eddie reached her hand up for Jamie, giving a little squeeze.

After a quick check the doctor nodded to his staff they were ready. "Breath for me Eddie and next contraction give me a good push."

Taking deep breaths Eddie squeezed Jamie's hand while pushing with her eyes shut. "Good Eddie, take a few more deep breaths for me," encouraged the doctor pausing to keep status on their health.

"Doing great babe," Jamie echoed, placing a kiss on her head. He was rewarded with another squeeze of his hand. Encouraged by the doctor on the next contraction Eddie gave another hard push.

"Good, almost there Eddie deep breaths okay?" The doctor patted her leg encouraging the small female. "Okay next contraction push, good Eddie I can see a head coming out. Few more breaths."

With uneven breaths tiredly Eddie lay her head back grateful for the rest. She looked up to Jamie who smiled at her proudly. "You're doing great babe, we're almost parents again."

"Okay Eddie one more good push and you'll have another baby." Taking as deep a breath that was possible Eddie pushed hard, rewarded a minute later by their new baby's wails bringing tears to both their eyes.

Smiling the doctor rubbed a blanket over the wailing baby cleaning them off then walked to the table for measurement, prints and a check "Everything looks good, has a pair of lungs. Let me wrap up this little one so dad can take your daughter."

Daughter? Jamie's eyes swelled with hot tears hearing they have a daughter. When he looked at Eddie she had tears too. "Okay here she is, congratulations to both of you," the doctor smiled softly.

Sniffling Jamie cradled his newborn girl tightly against his chest with his arms supporting her little neck he looked her over. Her little button nose wrinkled in her sleep, eyes opening for only a second to reveal crystal clear blue eyes. On top of her round head little strands of blond hair already curled.

The minute Jamie held his daughter his heart melted for the little girl. "hey princess, hey baby girl we're so glad you're here. What should we name her," Jamie croaked with emotion.

"Christa," Eddie suggested, smiling at their new baby girl and how amazingly perfect she was. "You ever going to let her go?"

"Maybe," Jamie whispered unable to take his eyes off Christa.

The family popped in to meet their new family member smiling. "She's perfect son congratulations," Frank's voice wavered at his beautiful granddaughter, earning a scowl from Nicky.

"Baby," Teddy said, pointing at Christa wide eyed.

"That's your baby sister Christa," Eddie told him smiling tiredly. Frank helped Teddy up onto the bed so he could get a closer look. Teddy blinked, leaned down and kissed her head. "Petty baby."

"Can I hold her," Danny asked, wanting time with his new niece. Jamie hesitated not ready to let go of his daughter. "Daddy's girl already," Danny teased.

Sighing Jamie relented handing his daughter into Danny's arms watching him carefully. "Relax Jamie let everyone hold her. Danny, before nutcase here goes postal would you be Christa's godfather," Eddie shook her head at Jamie's anxious look.

Danny looked up eyes wide in surprise at the request. "Wow yea of course, thanks. Hear that I'm your godfather?"

After a few minutes Danny passed Christa to Henry's awaiting arms, teary at the sight of his great grand daughter. "She's beautiful Jamie."

As Christa was passed around Jamie sat on the bed but kept a close eye on his daughter the whole time vowing to protect her.
