A couple of hours after Olivia had been transferred from the courthouse to the hospital she was sat cuddled up with her daughter and her husband. She was almost ready to see everyone else but after the traumatic birth she just wanted to be with her husband and their new child for a few more minutes.
"She needs a name before she meets her family." Bayard said as he stroked the obvious beginnings of a dark brown afro on his daughter's tiny head with a finger.
"Elizabeth." Olivia said. "We can call her Eliza."
"Eliza." Bayard smiled. "Elizabeth Trinity Ellis."
"Trinity?" Olivia asked.
"After Trevor, they both start Tr, he delivered and saved her life too we owe her life to Elizabeth Donnelly and Trevor Langan." Bayard explained as he peered at his beautiful newborn.
"Eliza Trinity, Elizabeth Trinity Ellis. She's so perfect." Olivia smiled nuzzling her head into her husband's shoulder.
They stayed like that for a few minutes before Bayard finally went to get those waiting to meet the baby.
Cragen, Donnelly, Langan, Munch, Fin, Elliot, Oliver, Latisha, Tyrell and Tremaine all bundled into the room to meet the latest Ellis baby.
"Right everyone meet Eliza." Bayard smiled. "Elizabeth Trinity Ellis, named after the two people who saved her life and the life of her mother."
Liz Donnelly and Trevor stared in complete shock before breaking out in wide grins. They peered down at the tiny bundle in Olivia's arms and for a moment they both forgot how devastating the results could have been had they lost their cool.
"We'd also like the two of you to be Eliza's god-parents." Olivia said and they both nodded simultaneously, there were no arguments about it.
"Tisha, Ty and Tre come meet your baby sister." Bayard said helping his children onto their Mother's bed.
"Eliza. She's so pretty Momma." Latisha said as she ran her finger through the beginnings of an afro. "She's gonna have hair like me!"
"Yeah she is." Olivia smiled at her excited daughter. "Right something tells me Pops wants to hold onto his latest grandchild." Olivia said looking up at her tear-ridden father.
"Yeah." He managed and with the same gentle care he'd done with all three of his other grandchildren he picked her up into his arms and introduced himself while Olivia cuddled up with her other three.
By the time everyone had held onto Eliza and introduced themselves Olivia was fast asleep and no one would wake her, they knew she'd had a rough day.
"I'll take the kids so don't worry about them." Oliver said as he picked up a sleeping Tremaine onto his shoulder.
"Thanks Oliver." Bayard said as he held his baby girl in his arms.
"No problem, call if you need anything." He said before leaving.
One by one everyone left and Bayard sat down in the chair beside his wife's bed to cuddle with his daughter.
"Everyone gone?" Olivia asked her eyes still shut.
"Yeah Princess, everyone's gone." Bayard said and Olivia opened her eyes and pushed herself up a bit.
"We did it." She said as she reached for her daughter's hand.
"Baby number four." Bayard smiled.
"I think we've got enough now don't you?" She asked as she peered at her brown eyed brown haired beauty.
"I think so but nature Olivia… we never know…"
"You're having the snip and I'm having my tubes tied." Olivia said with only a hint of a joke in her voice.
"Whatever you want as long as you don't cut me off, the next six to eight weeks are going to be painful enough." Bayard laughed and Olivia smiled happily.
Their family was complete, they'd overcome all their troubles and now they were ok to be happy.
THE END
