November 4th...
It was 6 days before Samantha's sixteenth birthday. She was going to find out what the baby is. Is she having a girl or a boy? She thinks she's having a girl. Everybody was gonna be there. Her mom, Travis, and Preston were going in with her. Everyone else was going to wait out in the waiting room. Her mid-wife Grace was the best. They'd been looking at birth photographer's. For either little Isabella or Calum's debut. Travis and Samantha had been married for a week or two. Preston was going to be one soon. A fifteen minute drive to the mid-wife appointment was long. Samantha was twenty weeks to the day. Samantha and everybody sat out in the waiting room waiting for Grace to come get Samantha.
" Samantha". Grace called. Samantha, Travis, and Cuddy with Preston got up.
" Hey Grace". Samantha said.
" Hello Samantha. Who's this"? Grace said as they started walking back to the room.
" This is my mom Lisa. And this is Preston my son who you haven't met yet". Samantha introduced.
" Nice to meet both of you. How are you feeling? Have you felt the baby kick recently"? Grace said.
" I'm feeling fine. I'm craving ice cream and everything. I felt the baby kick for the first time at the wedding". Samantha said.
" I'm going to do a Doppler then the ultrasound. I always do the Doppler before an ultrasound". Grace said. Samantha lifted up her shirt. Grace put a little gel on. She stuck the Doppler down trying to get the baby's heartbeat. When Grace found the heartbeat it filled the entire room. Samantha got a little teary eyed.
" Now lets see what you're having". Grace said. She put a little more gel on Samantha's belly. She started the ultrasound.
" There's the baby's head, shoulder's, little hands". Grace said moving it around. Samantha just looked at the screen in awe. Her son or daughter was amazing.
" Now lets get to the best part". Grace said making her way to see what it is. Samantha just looked.
" It's a girl. Congratulations. You're having a beautiful baby girl". Grace said. Samantha started crying. Grace handed her the tissues. Samantha took one for her eyes and one to wipe of her belly.
" We're having a girl". Travis said giving her a kiss.
" Samantha, be careful. Have fun shopping for this little girl. Do you have a name picked out"? Grace said.
" Isabella". Samantha said.
" That's cute. Well Isabella has all ten finger's and toes. Here's the pictures. School is going to get harder as you know. About the 8th month I want you to stay home until she's born. Keep taking your prenatal vitamins. And I'll see you next month. Pass your driver's test". Grace said.
" Thanks Grace". Samantha said pulling her shirt down. Samantha got up. Cuddy handed Preston to her.
" Babe, do you have my purse"? Samantha asked.
" Yep". Travis said.
" So Preston what do you think of getting a little sister". Samantha said before they walked out. When they got out to the waiting room everyone was waiting for them.
" So what is it"? Jamie asked anxious.
" It's a girl". Samantha smiled.
" Yes. I'm getting a niece". Jamie said.
" Name"? Cameron asked excited.
" Isabella Lisa Marie Rose Cuddy-Bonano". Samantha said.
" Well Isabella gets the best family ever". Jamie said.
" Uh huh". Samantha said.
" Mama". Preston said.
" Yeah I know Preston. Go see daddy". Samantha said. She handed Preston to Travis.
" Lets go out". House said.
" Uh huh. I'm thinking dinner tonight. I have to get back to school. I have a thing for a girl who's a teenager and is pregnant". Samantha said.
" I'll drive you". Carli said.
" Thanks Carls". Samantha said.
" Well I gotta go. I'll drop Preston off at day care and then I have a meeting at the base". Travis said.
" Okay. I love you". Samantha said.
" I love you too". Travis said giving Samantha a kiss before he left.
" Come on girlie. I don't want my future god-daughter to already have a tendency to be late". Carli said.
" Lets go". Samantha said. Everybody left. When Samantha got to school everybody hounded her with questions. When school ended at 3 Samantha and her girls decided to go shopping and then go up to the hospital until everyone went out to dinner that night.
" I need letter's to spell out Isabella's name". Samantha said.
" Got them already". Maddie said out of breath.
" What did you do? Run here"? Samantha asked.
" Yep. How's Isabella"? Maddie said.
" She's kicking up a storm". Samantha smiled.
" Do you want a baby shower"? Sophia asked.
" Yes. I didn't get to have a good one with Preston". Samantha said.
" Is that Joey and Brenna"? Abby asked.
" Hell no". Samantha said.
" Are we going to confront him"? Brittny asked.
" Nope. Does Brenna look pregnant to you"? Samantha said.
" Uh huh". Carli said.
" He's coming this way". Sophia said. Joey and Brenna finally made it over.
" Joey". Samantha said coldly. She was standing her ground.
" Samantha". Joey said flatly.
" I see Brenna is pregnant. Are you sure it's yours"? Samantha said.
" Yes. I see you are too. Are you sure it's Travis's"? Joey said.
" Uh huh. I rule the school still. And I'm married". Samantha said.
" He married you. Ha. I wouldn't marry you if you were the last girl on earth". Joey said.
" Me either. I better get going. I have important stuff to do". Samantha said.
" Like sleep with someone else". Joey said.
" No. I have to go to dinner. I'm celebrating that I'm having another baby. I just found out what it is today". Samantha said.
" We did last month. I guess I also had an affair that ended in pregnancy". Joey said.
" What is yours"? Samantha asked.
" There's two. And they're a boy and girl. Jayden and Brianna". Joey said.
" How cute. I'm having a girl. Isabella". Samantha said.
" I thought Adelaide would be it". Joey said.
" I did have that it mind". Samantha said.
" We better get going babe. Steph isn't gonna wait out in the car forever". Joey said.
" Lets go". Brenna said. Brenna and Joey left.
" Lets go. My parents need me at the hospital". Samantha said. They checked out and then left for the hospital. All of the girls walked in. They were always there. They went to Cuddy's office. It was her first day back.
" Hey mom". Samantha said walking in.
" Hey Samantha. Hey girls". Cuddy said looking up from her paper work.
" Does dad have a case"? Samantha asked.
" No. He already did his 30 second clinic duty for today. He's probably up in his office". Cuddy said.
" Can we sign out Audri, Paige, Josh and Ben for a little bit"? Samantha asked.
" Rachel's up there too. And I think Nathan and CC are too". Cuddy said.
" Come on girlies. I'm going to go get my little brother's and sisters". Samantha said.
" Be careful. Josh is already pulling hair. He's not even 4 months old and he's doing that". Cuddy said.
" I know. We'll all take a kid and then go into dad's office. We also might get CC while were at it". Samantha said. The girls left Cuddy's office. They went up to day care and got the kids. Samantha even signed out CC. Abby took CC, Maddie took Audri, Carli took Rachel, Sophia took Paige, Brittny took Josh, and Samantha took Ben. They walked to the conference room. Thirteen, Foreman, and Taub were just sitting there looking board.
" Hey people. I brought entertainment. And the baby's kicking". Samantha said.
" Give me Audri". Thirteen said. Maddie took Audri over to her. They set CC, Rachel, and Paige down.
" Josh has gotten so big". Thirteen said.
" Uh huh. And he's heavy". Brittny said.
" Try carrying Preston around when you're pregnant with a baby. Then lets see". Samantha said.
" Samantha, I don't want to". Brittny said.
" Okay. Dad, when are we leaving"? Samantha said.
" Soon. You mother needs to finish up her work". House said.
" Dad, take Ben". Samantha said.
" Why"? House asked.
" I need to use the bathroom". Samantha said.
" Okay". House said. Samantha handed Ben to her father. Samantha quickly made her way to the bathroom. She did her business and her phone started to ring.
" Hello". Samantha said checking herself in the mirror.
" Hey it's me. I'm not going to be home as much as I would like". Travis said.
" Why"? Samantha asked nervous.
" Instead of the Army thing. I got a call from the team out in Denver and I'm going to be on the Arena football team". Travis said.
" I thought you wanted to join the Army". Samantha said.
" I did. But it mean I'd be away from you for a long time. I can't do that not with Isabella on the way and Preston turning one". Travis said.
" Alright. I love you. I have to go". Samantha said.
" I love you too. Bye". Travis said.
" Bye babe". Samantha said and hung up. She walked back to her dad's office. Everybody was in there. Cameron, Chase, Wilson, Nathan, Delilah, Cuddy, even Andre, Jake, and Bryant. Jamie and Trevor had an appointment for Ryan so they weren't there.
" Jeez, it's a reunion". Samantha said.
" Yeppers". Carli said.
" Travis got the job in Denver. He's not going to be in the Army". Samantha said.
" Are you okay with that"? Cuddy asked.
" Yep". Samantha said.
" So how was Isabella during school today"? Cuddy asked.
" Active. I had everybody touching my stomach today. Even the principal". Samantha said.
" That's good. What was Preston like"? Cuddy said.
" Not very active. He's more like Travis and Isabella is a lot like me. Active and cute". Samantha said.
" You kept me up all the time. I didn't think I'd ever sleep". Cuddy said.
" I still don't let you sleep. Jeez Isabella. If you keep kicking me there mommy's gonna be mad". Samantha said.
" She kicking hard"? Thirteen asked.
" Yeah. In the same place over and over again". Samantha said.
" Isabella's just doing her job". Cuddy said.
" Dad give Ben to mom. And then feel. It feels like I'm pregnant with David Beckham and she's not even 30 weeks yet". Samantha said. House handed Ben to Cuddy. Samantha took his hand and put it right where Isabella was kicking.
" It does feel like you're pregnant with David Beckham". House said.
" I told you. You should feel her kick when I'm listening to Snow Patrol. She'll kick up a storm". Samantha said.
" She'll turn out just like you". Sophia said.
" Sophia, I'm not the one who almost gave their mom a heart attack because she came out butt first". Samantha said.
" That's true". Sophia said.
" What"? Maddie asked.
" You haven't heard the story about when Sophia and Carlin were born"? Samantha asked.
" Nope". Maddie said.
" Okay. I'll tell it. Carlin was born head first like you're supposed to be. Carlin Annabelle Parker. But when Sophia was born she came out butt first. The doctor apparently had the most frightened look on his face and it almost gave Carli and Sophia's mom a heart attack. She thought that Sophia was coming out with two heads". Samantha said.
" And I didn't. I just wanted to make a grand entrance". Sophia said.
" And you did. In the Sophia Gabrielle Parker way". Samantha said.
" Well I remember hearing your birth story. You had a prolapsed cord. And your mom had to have a crash c-section because of it. But you made the Samantha Elizabeth Anne Marie Cuddy debut". Sophia said.
" True. I've always had to make a grand entrance. I did at my wedding. I think that's the best one". Samantha said.
" I think so too". Sophia said.
" Alright kids. Lets go to dinner. Is Travis picking up Preston"? Cuddy said.
" Yep". Samantha said. Samantha and her friends took a kid. They all walked out of the conference room. Samantha went with Thirteen because she had more room in her car. They drove to eveyone's favorite buffet. Samantha and Thirteen got out. Cuddy was struggling to get Audri out.
" Audrienne Grace, settle down". Cuddy said trying to get Audri out. Audri was just throwing a hissy fit. Samantha walked over to her mom.
"Audri, settle down. I'll get you out". Samantha said. Audri calmed down a bit. Samantha got her out.
" Thank you. Now I have to get Rachel and Josh out". Cuddy said.
" Hold Audri. I'll get Rachel out". Samantha said climbing in the van. She helped Rachel get out and then let the little almost three year old out. Then she saw Travis pull up.
" Hey babe". Samantha said getting out of the van.
" Hey. I see you're helping with getting the kids out. Why don't you get Preston out". Travis said.
" I will". Samantha said. She walked over to the SUV and opened the back door. She got Preston out. She grabbed the diaper bag and then shut the door.
" I'll take him now. You're going to have to hold one of the kids". Travis said. Samantha handed Preston to Travis. She picked up Audri and then grabbed Rachel's hand. They all got situated and then walked in.
" How many is there"? Cuddy asked.
" Cameron, Chase, Foreman, Thirteen, you, dad, Jamie, Trevor, me, Travis, Carli, Bryant, Andre, Jake, Maddie, Sophia, Abby, Brittny, Wilson and Delilah". Samantha said.
" So 20, with 1 highchair, 3 car seat holders, and 5 boosters seats". Cuddy said.
" Uh huh". Samantha said. Cuddy walked up to the register.
" 18 adults". Cuddy said. All kids under 3 eat free.
" Do you need any high chairs or stuff like that"? The cashier asked.
" Yes. 1 highchair, 3 car seat holders, and 5 boosters seats". Cuddy said.
" Alright. It'll be a minute to get the table ready". The cashier said. They waited until they had the table ready. Samantha, Cameron, Carli, Abby, Brittny, Thirteen, Jamie, Sophia, and Maddie all sat at one end with some of the kids. All the girls decided to go up first. Leaving the men to watch the kids. The girls went up and got all they needed. About 15 minutes later they came back. Then it was the guys turn. They took longer then the girls.
" Lets talk about baby names". Carli said.
" Okay. Lets talk girls names". Samantha said.
" Adrianna". Abby said.
" Maddilyn". Carli said.
" Sierra". Brittny said.
" Madison". Cameron said.
" Jayden". Thirteen said.
" Danielle". Sophia said.
" Isabella is what I'm sticking with. I middle name before Lisa Marie will be good". Samantha said.
" So you're taking out Rose"? Carli asked.
" Yep". Samantha said.
" Isabella Christine Lisa Marie Cuddy-Bonano". Cameron said.
" I like it. Keep going". Samantha said.
" Isabella Joelle Lisa Marie Cuddy-Bonano". Carli said.
" I have two. I want three and then lets vote. I think I will finally finalize it". Samantha said.
" Isabella Brianne Lisa Marie Cuddy-Bonano". Sophia said.
" We have the three. Lets vote". Samantha said.
" Isabella Christine". Carli said. Nobody raised their hands.
" Isabella Joelle". Cameron said. Everybody raised their hands.
" Isabella Joelle Lisa Marie Cuddy-Bonano is the absolute perfect name for her". Samantha said.
" I couldn't agree more". Sophia said.
" So it's settled. That is the name I'm naming her". Samantha said. Her phone started to ring.
" Hello". Samantha answered.
" Hi Samantha. It's Sara Bradley". Sara said.
" Oh hi Sara. I didn't expect to hear from you this soon". Samantha said.
" I check my messages everyday. I just wanted to tell you that I'd love to do your birth. So I would like to meet up with you tomorrow. If that's okay"? Sara said.
" Yeah. That's fine. I just tell Trav. And we'll see you tomorrow". Samantha said.
" Alrighty. I see you tomorrow. Bye". Sara said before she hung up.
" Who was that"? Cameron asked.
" My birth photographer. I have a meeting with her tomorrow". Samantha said.
" That's cool". Cameron said.
" Uh huh". Samantha said. After a few more trips they left. Everyone was excited that Samantha was having a girl. She couldn't wait to turn sixteen.

Samantha's sweet sixteen...
Samantha was having her party today. She couldn't wait. She was going to wear a flowy red dress that kind of hid her baby bump. She was happy about that. She was getting her hair done. She had everything picked out down to the type of underwear she was going to wear.
" Hey, how's Isabella doing"? Carli asked.
" She's kicking up a storm. I just wish she'd settle down. I can't believe I'm sixteen". Samantha said.
" Your baby boys almost 1. When is Isabella supposed to arrive"? Carli said.
" Sometime in March. But with my luck she'll be like Preston and come in February". Samantha said.
" None, of the Cuddy kids are ever on time are they"? Carli asked.
" Nope. Jake and Andrew were born in an ER. Jamie was born in the hospital, I was the c-section, Audri and Paige came two months early, Josh and Ben came before they were supposed to enter this world. We just don't come with out making an entrance". Samantha said.
" I guess you're right. No one comes with out making an entrance. So did Preston make a grand entrance"? Carli said. The hair dresser started taking the curling iron to Samantha's hair.
" Yes. He was my Christmas present. I guess we'll have to wait and see with Isabella". Samantha said.
" She'll be like you without the prolapsed cord. She'll be your little munchkin. Mini Samantha we'll be very cute". Carli said.
" I'm hoping she has dark hair and blue eyes. More brown then blonde. Preston's hair is getting darker. I think it comes with who's the father and who's the mother". Samantha said.
" True. You're going to look so cute. Did you get your license"? Carli said.
" I did get my license. I don't gain weight in my face so I always look the same. I've noticed that my wedding rings are getting tight. So I got a white gold chain and they're around that. I always have them around my neck. Travis hasn't seen me since last night. He had to go do somethings. He's flying out to Denver soon. He's getting an apartment and I'm going to be here alone until he gets home. The team says he's gonna be home for the birth of Isabella". Samantha said.
" Sweetie, it'll be fine. Your daughter's going to be amazing. I can see that you want Travis to join the Army". Carli said.
" Carls, he's my husband I wanted him to join. It would be a great opportunity. I'd be an Army wife though. That isn't the part I want to play". Samantha said.
" You just want to stay in New Jersey because everyone's here". Carli said.
" Is that so hard to believe"? Samantha asked. Her hair dresser finished the last curl. Samantha wanted long full curls for her hair. Not the curls that are her natural ones. Her chocolate brown curls hung over her shoulders. Her crystal earrings looked good with her hair. Her nails done like she had at her wedding and a pair of silver high heels. She looked amazing. The hotel ballroom was decorated in everything Samantha wanted. From the pink table cloths to the cake that had pink fondant with green and white polka dots and stripes. The four teared cake was covered it Samantha type stuff. A fake blackberry etc. Samantha was just waiting for her cue to go in for her grand entrance. Her food was whatever she put down everything for Spanish to American. Her drinks included fake Cosmo's. She had a DJ and a V.I.P. area. She wanted it to be perfect. Her baby shower was coming up too. She just didn't know if she was getting a car.
" Samantha come on. Everybody's here". Sophia said.
" I'm coming". Samantha said. She took one last look in the mirror. She applied a little bit more pink lip gloss and then left. She was going to make her grand entrance. She got ready at the door. Tonight was her night. The doors opened and she started to walk the pink carpet. She walked up to her table where all of friends were sitting. They handed her, her tiara. Yes, she had a tiara. She was daddy's little girl after all. And daddy would do anything to make her happy. Carli helped set the silver tiara in Samantha's thick chocolate brown curls. Then Samantha saw Travis. Her face lit up. Travis walked over holding something behind his back.
" Hey babe". Travis said.
" Hey. I'm already having a good time. What do you have for me"? Samantha smiled.
" Close your eyes and hold your hands out". Travis said. Samantha did as she was told. A long rectangular box was put into her hands.
" Open". Travis said. Samantha did. She removed the silver wrapping paper and saw a box. She opened the lid carefully. She put her hand over her mouth when she saw what it was.
" Oh my god. How did you know"? Samantha said in shock.
" I heard that you've always wanted to go to Paris. We had a kind of honeymoon in New York but I want a real honeymoon. We leave next week. I've got the best room at the hotel booked for a week. And I asked your mid-wife you can fly. Your parents told me that you've always wanted to go to Paris and I'm taking you there". Travis said.
" Trav, this is the best present anyone has gotten me. This tops everything. Two tickets to Paris. My dream getaway. I like that. Thank you babe. I love it". Samantha said.
" Well everyone already knows that you're going to Paris I just hope that Isabella does". Travis said.
" She does. I can feel her kicking". Samantha said.
" Lets get your party underway". Travis said.
" I love you". Samantha said.
" I love you too". Travis said. They started serving dinner. Travis brought Samantha her plate because it was her birthday party after all. After dinner there was some dancing time. Then they started serving cake after Samantha blew out the candles. After some cake and some more dancing it was present time. Samantha sat at a table covered in presents. She picked the one from Travis and Preston. It was a big pink gift bag with something in it. Samantha opened it. Customized seat covers with Samantha's name and it was covered in multi colored polka dots. The next one was the steering wheel cover. She got the three things she asked. Seat covers, tickets to Paris, and a steering wheel cover. The next one was from Carli, Sophia, Maddie, Abby, and Brittny. Tiffany's jewelry. A lot of it. They must of pooled there money together. Then a present from the entire Sophomore class. Some new purses and wallets. Then the present from Rachel, Audri, Paige, Josh and Ben. Key chains. Cadillac key chains, one with Samantha's name on it from Vegas, Princess, Spoiled, and the big one. A picture of Preston and then one side blank that was for Isabella. Samantha still wasn't getting it. She opened the rest of the presents. Clothes, purses, wallets, accessories, car stuff, Cd's, a new phone from Jamie, Trevor, and Ryan. Then three from her parents. One was the new laptop she wanted. Another one was another diamond tennis bracelet. Then a small pink box. Samantha opened it and saw a set of keys. Two sets of keys and not to the same car. Could her parents really spoil her that much? One set was to a Cadillac. The other to a BMW. Both had remote car starters on them. Then she realized. Travis and his family bought one and her family bought one. Travis had two cars by the time he was sixteen. The old Chevy pick up and the Mercedes. Samantha quickly got up with both sets of keys and practically ran out of the hotel ballroom and outside into the cool New Jersey air. Two cars sat in front of her. The BMW X6 xDrive50i red was the first car. She immediately got into that one first. 6 disk changer radio, GPS, satellite radio, black leather interior, black rims, tv's in the back seat, and it already had top of line car seats and stroller in it for the kids. Samantha knew Travis's parents were rich but not this rich. Then she got out to get into the Cadillac Escalade. Red like the BMW. Black leather interior, rims, GPS, nice radio, car seat stuff set up in the back, and it could fit a lot of people. Samantha let out a squeal. Everybody saw the way she reacted to the cars. Then she got out of the car.
" I have two fucking cars. Two cars that have leather seats. I'm so happy". Samantha said.
" I can tell". Travis said. Samantha saw her mom and dad. She walked very quickly almost running up to them.
" Thank you, thank you so much". Samantha said as she hugged both her parents.
" You're welcome. I have plan to have you drive both of them home. We have a specific space for each of them so you don't have worry about them". Cuddy said.
" I love them so much. I'm sending Anna and Tony a big thank you card". Samantha said.
" I would highly recommend that". Cuddy said.
" Can you guys help me load the presents in the Escalade so I can drive one of them home". Samantha said.
" Already have that covered. I want my little girl to have the best birthday any sixteen year old can have". House said. Samantha looked and saw bell boys with their carts bringing her presents out. They carefully put them in the Escalade. Then shut the trunk.
" Who's riding with me in the BMW"? Samantha asked. All of friends including her mom and sister raised their hands.
" Lets go". Samantha said. They all climbed into the car. Cuddy sat up front with Samantha while everyone squished into the back.
" What should we listen to"? Samantha asked pulling out.
" Anything that your mom hates". Brittny said.
" You got it". Samantha said scanning the channels. She found a pop station.
" Good song". Sophia said as P!nk started playing.
" I know". Samantha said. The rest of the car ride was talking about the leather seating and everything. Then they all climbed into Carli's car and drove back to the hotel. Samantha and her friends were going to come back with Carli's car for the slumber party/vacation party. No parents, no husbands, no boyfriends, no kids, no anything except them in a hotel suite for the entire 4 day weekend. When they got to the hotel. Samantha climbed out of Carli's car and then into her Escalade. One of new Cd's was in. Everyone climbed. Two more trips and Samantha finally checked in. The girls plopped down on the bed like they always did. Before Preston, before Travis, before everything. The girls had fun waiting for Isabella to kick and everything. They just had fun. Samantha has probably never had that much fun at a birthday party before.

AN: It's finally over. Thank god. What did you think? What about the name for Samantha's little girl? Thanks to HughLaurieLover who has been here for me every step of the way. I love her for that. Even though we haven't talked at all in the past couple days. I liked the party. The only reason I got this done is because I can't sleep. So I had to make myself sleepy and this did the trick. Sorry for any mistakes. Please review!
