New Edition

The beach house that belonged to the family of bounty hunters was busy with preparation for the event they'd been waiting for months. The event in question was Carly's baby shower. Carly who was now nine months an two and a half weeks pregnant with she Sam and David's child could not be happier. Given that she was barley a full month into her last pregnancy a few years ago before she had a miscarriage.

Now that all seemed in the past as she looked at the two other parents of her child hanging the banner over the doorway was joy. Unquestionable joy as she knew that at any moment she'd give birth to beautiful child. One she Sam and David would raise him or her together. And that is what gave her the joy that caused her current mile wide smile. That and she couldn't help but smile at the bickering between the two co parents of her child.

"Your end's to high Mon," Sam said trying to adjust her side of the banner.

"I can't help you're short Sammie," David gaffed. "Anyway it looks fine."

"Its crooked tell him cupcake," Sam said still trying adjust her end of the banner.

"Its fine mama just leave it," Carly said beaming at her wife. "Besides everyone will be back here any minute. Carly said just before the door bell rang. "I'll get it," Carly said trying get to her feet.

"Oh no you don't I'll do it," David said hopping off the step ladder and going to the door and opening it.

"Jeeze big guy took you long enough," Taylor said walking through the door holding a cake box.

"Funny most women like when I take my time," David said smirking at his friend.

"True but most women aren't smart like me not fall for your charm," Taylor said smirking back at him "Anyway go help Mandy and with the rest of the stuff."

"Why can't Cassie and Mel help?," he asked.

" Well those two love birds have been to busy trying to tie their tongues in a knot since she and Mandy got here." Taylor said explained as the new couple of Melanie and Cassie seemed to be more preoccupied with each other.

"Yeah I've been asking this a lot but are you and Mandy really ok with Mel and Cassie being together," David asked his blonde friend.

"For the millionth time yes we're fine," Taylor said smiling up at him. "We've always wanted Cassie to be happy even if it wasn't with us and Mel makes her happy. Besides Melanie said Cassie can still 'play' with us from time to time," she explained. "And who knows Mandy and I may have another member of our little family in mind," she said smiling what could've been considered a flirty smile at David.

"Oh really who would that be," David said apparently flirting back at her.

"Just go get the stuff big guy and I may let you know," she said still seemingly exchanging flirting looks with her long time friend.

"Ok I'm on it. Oh and speaking of family how's our surprise coming?," David asked.

"Frankie and KP called me from the air port the surprise is in route," Taylor said smiling. "You know Sam and Carly are lucky to have you not everyone would've done all you've done for them. I mean the looking after Carly while Sam was locked up the baby the getting shot now this surprise, you're a really special guy."

David smiled at her and said, "I'm not special I just love my family." He then walked out and proceeded to go help Mandy with the other things needed for the shower.

A half hour later the living room of was filled with guest. Mostly made up of a few female members of the bail bondsman and bounty hunting community that they knew well. And their new partner Henry "Hawk" Chan was there as a show of support to his new partners. The only thing that seemed to be bothering Carly was the absence of three members of their family.

"Where are Miko Baby Doll and Red they should've been here by now," Carly said. "I wanna open my presents," she said doing her best little girl pout.

"They better get their asses here now or else I'm eating this cake," Sam said in her grouchy impatient tone.

"Calm down boss girl we're here," Frankie said as she walked into the living room carry a gift bag with Katie trailing behind her.

"What took you so long?," Carly asked curious about the duo's long absence.

"Well we had to pick up David's present for you," Katie said smiling a bit as she went over to the punch bowl.

Carly looked over at the father of her child as he sat perched and smiled at him. "Dave you gave me a kid and saved my wife's life. Believe my cuz present quota for the year."

"Yeah Mon you didn't need to get us anything," Sam said to her cousin.

"Yeah but I think you'll like this one Carls," David said flashing his smile

"Yeah Kiddo you'll like it," said a an all to familiar voice from across the room drawing Carly's attention.

"Spencer!," Carly said hoping up as best she could and waddling over to her big brother. Wrapping he arms around him.

"Easy kiddo in your condition you need to be careful don't want to hurt my little niece or nephew," Spencer said hugging his little sister.

"I.. know," Carly sniffled as happy tears dripped from her eyes. "I'm just so happy you're here…I thought you couldn't make it," she said still holding her older brother tightly.

"Well your baby Daddy over there convinced me that my art clinic could wait until after my niece nephew's birth and bought me a ticket a," Spencer explained breaking the hug and leading his sister back to her place on the couch.

Carly looked over at the father of her child. The young man who in his way had become a big brother to her in his own right over the years. She looked at him and placed her hand on his and gave a tearful thank you.

"Don't mention it Carls," David replied giving her a caring pat on the shoulder.

"Glad to see you again brother in law but now lets open presents and eat," Sam said enthusiastically going over the cake and cutting herself a rather large slice.

"You herd her give me my gifts," Carly said beaming at her wife's ravenous appetite.

The next hour or so was with filled with awe's and other happy sounds as Carly opened the various rattles. Baby clothes toys and other essential items needed by the parents. Some of which mainly the clothes that were deemed unisex or neutral were doubles. Of some items they'd purchased on their own. None of which mattered cause as David had reasoned before the shower if they got doubles the toys could be donated and the clothes could be back ups for their child.

"Umm guys now that all the gifts are open and all the cake is gone I think its time for my gift," David said as he stood from his spot on one of the couches.

"Dab the kid and Spencer are more than enough we don't need anymore gifts," Sam said sarcastically.

" Good cause its for Frankie," David said walking in front of his girlfriend and taking her hand.

"Oh really papi what is it?," Frankie asked curious about the situation of getting a gift on what was supposed to be a day for Carly.

"Something I should've given you a long time ago," David said as he dropped too his knee and produced a ring box from his back pocket. Making a silent gasp come from every one. And a few tears from Frankie. "Frankie Monet Geyer you are the most beautiful woman in the world to me. You make me happy and ever since what happened I've been thinking maybe its time I make you an honest woman so what I'm saying is Baby Doll will you honor me by being my wife," he said opening the ring box revealing the brilliant yet modest diamond and holding up to Frankie.

"Yes papi yes! I will!" Frankie said her tears coming down in full force now. As a sign of the full unbridled joy she felt in her heart.

"Yes?," asked smiling getting a nod of conformation Frankie as he slipped the engagement ring on her finger following it by kissing her deeply.

"Bout time Mon," Sam said in a half sarcastic tone . "Well its official now cousin Frankie you're a Puckett."

"Yeah welcome to the family Baby Doll no escape now," Carly said patting Frankie on her shoulder.

"I already am family this just makes it official," Frankie said her eyes still filled with tears of joy as she looked at her ring with joy. "Thank you papi."

"No thanks needed baby," David said kissing her softly on the lips.

"Uh hmm… hate to still your thunder big guy but um Tay and I have a big announcement of our own," Mandy said clearing her throat drawing the attention to herself.

"Well what is it… oh my God you're pregnant " Carly said jumping to that instant conclusion.

"No! not yet anyways," Taylor said.

"Anyway given that you guys are going be short a few hunters while Carly's recovering and Henry and Katie are staring up the office in Jamaica . Mel and Cassie have their budding relationship we've decided to move our business here full time," Mandy explained.

"Really!?" Melanie asked her new girlfriend excitedly. Her eyes dancing like a billion disco balls.

"I should hope so we just rented the house down the street," Cassie said prompting Melanie to kiss her deeply.

"Well someone's excited," David said sarcastically looking at his cousin kiss her girlfriend.

"Yeah even Carly's excited. In fact it she's breathing kind of heavy," Mandy said looking at her friend who was starting to turn red.

"Carly baby you ok?" Sam asked also noticing her wife's change in breathing.

"No…my…water…just broke!" Carly yelled sending the others into alert mode.

"Holy shit! Davie get the bag and the car Mel call the doc!"

"On it!" the two cousins said racing off to do as they were told.

In less than two minutes Carly was in the backseat of the Yukon usually used for bounty hunting while David Drove and Sam sat with her in the back seat along with Frankie. "Cupcake why didn't you tell me you'd started contracting ." Sam asked trying to sooth her wife's pain.

"Ugh!...they weren't that close….gah!," Carly said feeling the pain of another contraction. "That one hurt a lot!"

" I know baby I know," Sam said gripping Carly's hand. "Dave can't you drive this thing faster!"

"I just ran two red lights a stop sign and I'm doing ninety" David said as he maneuvered the large black SUV through traffic as if it were a fine Italian sports car. Just before seeing the blue lights of a police care appear as her ran yet another stop light.

"Ohh!," Carly moaned as another contraction powered through her "You're …. not …stopping."

"Not a chance hang on!," David said as he stabbed the gas pedal into the floor of the car as he made the next turn the police officer still behind them.

"Ughhhhh!... hurry Dave!," Carly groaned as another contraction attacked her.

"Yeah papi hurry!" Frankie yelled.

"Hold on just a few more minutes just a few more minutes," David said whipping the Yukon like a frisbe.

A few more minutes later David brought the Yukon to a screeching stop at the emergency entrance of the hospital. Frankie quickly hopped out of the car and retrieved a nurse and wheelchair as well as Carly's OBGYN. Who'd been waiting on them as soon as the call had been made.

"You're almost ready Carly lets get you to a delivery room asap," Dr. Stein said in her soothing voice as they pushed Carly into the hospital

"Ok ….Sam don't leave me baby!," Carly said pleadingly clutching Sam's hand as she felt another contraction begin.

"Not a chance cupcake," Sam said her hand clutched inside of Carly's. "Come on Dab what are you waiting for"

"It's ok guys I'll just wait with Frankie and the guys," David said reluctance in his voice. Knowing in his heart he wanted to witness the birth of his first child.

"Ughh!...I'm not having this child without all three of its parents Dave!" Carly groaned through the pain of another contraction.

David looked to his new fiancée for an answer to the best course of action. Getting a reassuring nod from her accompanied Carly Sam and the doctor into the delivery room.

Three hours had elapsed in the waiting room as the group of friends waited impatiently for news of Carly and the baby. Non more so it seemed than Frankie who seemed to had not stopped pacing around in circles since Carly had been taken back to the delivery room. The nervousness on the beautiful half Brazilian girl's face abundantly clear.

"Take it easy Frank you're making me more nervous," Miko said twirling her hair in her fingers.

"I know I just whish I knew what was going on in there," Frankie said as she continued pacing around.

"We all do Baby Doll we all do," Taylor said.

Mean while in the delivery room Carly was flanked by both Sam and David. Each with a hand clenched in hers as the painful contractions ripped her body. The pain etched across her face. Her body exhausted and sweaty as the doctor and her two co-parents soothed her as best they could.

"You're doing great cupcake just great," Sam said encouragingly stroking Sam's sweat soaked hair.

"Yeah Carls, just great," David said mimicking his cousin's actions.

"Ughhh ….. it hurts!," Carly wailed as another contraction attacked her.

"We know baby we know," Sam said pecking Carly's forehead. "Just a little bit longer. Just a little bit longer."

"Ok Carly its time," Dr. Stein said as she peered from under the tarp. "On my count I want you to push ok."

"O..o…ok," Carly groaned her voice radiating exhaustion.

"Ok 1,2,3 push!," Dr. Stein said.

"Ughhhh!," Carly roared as she gave powerful push.

"Your doing great Carls just great," David said.

"Ok Carly push!," Dr. Stein said.

"Aghhhhh!", Carly screamed.

"Carly stop! Stop pushing," the doctor said in a voice that instantly filled the three parents with fear. "Nurse over here now!"

"Wh….wh… what's wrong what' wrong with our baby! Sam…..what's wrong with our baby!?," Carly said in a worried exhausted voice as she felt Doctor Stein reach inside her.

"Nothing baby nothing baby," Sam said reassuring Carly as best she could. "Doc?"

"The baby's breach that means that its coming out feet first," Doctor Stein explained.

"Can't you turn it around!," David asked his voice showing signs of fear.

"I'm trying but….the chord its wrapped around its neck If I don't cut it turning the baby could kill it," Doctor Stein said reaching back and retrieving the forceps and placing them inside Carly and clamping the chord.

"Sammie…. Dave….. is our baby gonna die?," Carly asked tears of fear and pain.

"No baby don't even think about that," Sam said silently praying to God that their child would make it.

"Yeah little cuz we'll be holding our little baby in no time," David said praying much like Sam was as the next few tense minutes passed as the doctor worked.

"Ok Carly we're ready one big push on my count ok!," Doctor Stein said triumphantly. Getting only a strained nod from Carly as conformation. "Ok 1,2,3!"

"AHHHHH!," Carly screamed as she gave one final push bringing her baby into the world.

"Its a girl!," Doctor Stein said holding the slightly caramel skinned brown haired baby up to the parents before carrying her to the wash basin in the room.

"Hear that cupcake Davie boy and I were right a girl," Sam said tears of joy streaking her face.

"Yeah our little girl," David said the same tears of happiness covering his face.

"She…. she's not crying…why isn't she crying," Carly said barely keeping her eyes open from exhaustion. Just before the room became filled with the cries of their newborn.

"Hear that?," Sam said giving her wife her trademark smirk.

"Yeah," Carly said as a content smile came across her lips as the doctor over their child and placed her in Carly's arms.

"She's beautiful," David said his heart filled with pride as he looked down at his newborn baby girl "Hey little mama I'm your daddy ," he said stroking the infant's cheek with his pinky.

"She has your eyes cupcake," Sam said just before kissing Carly's temple.

"I guess but she defiantly has Dave's hair," she said smiling at her two co-parents.

"What should we call her?" David asked.

"Well its the father that usually name's the first born so Davie you're up," Sam said.

"You sure?," David asked

"Yeah we're sure, big guy," Carly said handing the baby to him.

David looked at the baby he held in his arms the little baby that looked so much like him and Carly and tears of joy over took him. "You're strong little thing aren't you strong and beautiful you get that from your mama. And strong girl like you needs a strong name so that's why I'm going to name you Athena, Justice Puckett-Brown," David said placing the newborn back in its mother's arms.

"Welcome to the world Athena I'm your mommy Carly," Carly said

"And I'm your mama Sam and that big guy and us are gonna spoil you so much," Sam said

"You got that right," David added

One month Later:

Carly placed Athena into her crib and looked down on the light caramel colored child with brown hair and marveled at her beauty. She then felt a pair of strong yet feminine arms wrap around her waist. "She's almost more beautiful than her mom," Sam said kissing Carly's neck lightly.

"Ummhmm wait and see how beautiful she is when her crying wakes you up," Carly joked as she turned so she was facing her wife.

"That's why it's her daddy's night for diaper duty," Sam said with a smirk leaning up for a kiss. "I love you Carly Puckett"

"I love you too Samantha Puckett," Carly said closing the gap between them and kissing Sam deeply.

The End

A/N: Well folks that's it hope you enjoyed this whole trip. This ending was a hard one for me to right. As you all know I recently lost my only sister. And in a few weeks on the 29th would've been her 23rd birthday. So writing a happy ending has really been difficult for me. But I did and I'd like to thank my fans for being patient and not abandoning this story of the past year. Thank you all SDR out
