"ZACHARY GOODE I HATE YOU"

"ZACHARY GOODE THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT"

"ZACHARY GOODE I WILL MURDER YOU"

"ZACHARY GOODE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU"

"ZACHARY GOODE I'M GOING TO HAVE BEX TIE YOU TO A CHAIR AND HAVE MACEY AND LIZ AND BEX TORTURE YOU WITH KNIVES AND METAL"

"I HATE YOU!"

One hate sentence for each contraction she had during labor, the last one when she finally pushed out the baby.

"IT'S OUT! Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Goode on your new baby daughter. Do you have a name for her yet?"

Cammie had her eyes wide open as she watched the nurses wrap the baby up in a blanket and hand it to Cammie. She cradled the baby gently in her arms, as if she was afraid it was so fragile it might break. She cooed softly to the baby. I turned to the doctor.

"Morgan Goode. Morgan Lily Goode."

Cammie's eyes and mouth were now wider than I had ever seen them before as she held the baby and gazed down at her.

"Zach... I made this. We made this. I love you," she said, hugging the baby even closer to her chest.

"I love you too, Gallagher Girl."

She smiled and sang softer than a whisper 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' to Morgan when she stirred and opened her eyes slightly. I smiled at the sound of her voice.

"Zach... I want another baby." I smirked.

"Whatever you want, Gallagher Girl."

"I want a baby boy. And a puppy."

"Mmkay." She snuck a look at me, a devious look in her eyes. "Do you wanna hold Morgan?"

My breath hitched in my throat, but she was already handing me Morgan. I was panicking inside.

OH MY GOD I'M HOLDING MORGAN HOW DO I HOLD HER WHAT IF I DROP HER OH MY GOSH WHAT DO I DO

But being the incredible spy I am, I took Morgan bundled in a pink blanket, had her head nestled in the crook of my left arm and my right arm supporting her.

"Talk to her," Cammie whispered.

"Uh... Hi there, Morgan. I'm Zach, your dad..." I trailed off and just held her tightly in my arms.

I now had two girls I needed to protect.

One I married, and one I fathered.

I realized that feeling that dads get.

Love.

I didn't want to let Morgan go, I suddenly realized that she was 1/2 of my sole reason for living, I loved her. When she opened her eyes to look at me, my heart stopped and I realized that what I was holding in my arms was the most precious and important thing in the world that could never be replaced and was something I needed to protect and care for. Morgan stirred in my arms.

"Shh, baby girl." I rocked her slightly. "Daddy's here. Shh... Twinkle twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are..." I heard Cammie laugh and I looked up at her.

"You'll be an amazing dad." I smirked and came up with the cockiest reply I could think of.

"I know." She reached out for Morgan, and I bit my lip. "Can I... Hold her? Longer? For longer?"

She laughed again.

"Sure, Zach. Kiss me first though." I shook my head mischievously and leaned down to kiss Morgan's forehead. She gasped. "Zachary Goode! Cheating on me with another woman?" She whisper shouted jokingly.

"Sorry, Gallagher Girl. But my heart's been stolen by another girl." I saw her yawn and leaned over to kiss her forehead. "Get some sleep. Labor is hard work."

"But... Morgan..."

"I have her. And I'm never letting her go."

Hey you amazing readers and hopeful future reviewers! I LOVE YOU IN A BESTIE SORT OF WAY EVEN THOUGH YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY ALL STRANGERS. Apology to Cammie: Yes, I did have this written out and I couldn't leave my readers on a cliffhanger for a month or week or days or whatever.
