Dani got to come home about a month later. Brantley had to stay for a little while longer to gain some weight. John pulled up to the house and helped her out of the car. "I see everyone is inside." She said as she saw everyone's car.
"You ready to go in?"
"As ready as I can be." She replied. "Just have to do it right?"
"Yes." He said taking her hand. "I'm here with you. Now let's do this." She nodded and they headed in.
She smiled and hugged everyone. "It's great to have you home and well." Ted said hugging his sister. "Well, as well as you can be." He smiled.
"Thanks, Teddy." She smiled at her brother. "You going to introduce me to your friend?"
"Of course." Teddy smiled. "Dani, this is Leanna. Leanna, this is my sister Dani."
"Nice to meet you." Dani said to her.
"You too."
"Well, since that is out of the way, let's get this party started." Teddy smiled. Dani laughed and made her way around the room. She got to Jenna.
"You look beautiful." She said to her. "I'm glad you came."
"Nothing could keep me away."
Dani smiled. "We will have to have another party when Brantley comes." She looked at Jenna. "Because John and I want you to be his godmother. Because if it wasn't for you, I don't think we would have him."
Jenna smiled. "I'd be honored. But only if you'll do the same when this little girl comes."
Dani nodded. "Mike mentioned it to me. And I told him I would."
Jenna smiled. "Good." She replied. Dani smiled back and looked around. She was happy to home and she couldn't wait for Brantley to come home. It was just weird being around the people who didn't support her in things. But she knew it was in the past and her focus now was John and Brantley.
Later, everyone headed home. John looked at Dani. "We will be bringing Brantley home before long. And we will celebrate that."
"I know" She smiled. She was finally feeling like herself now that she was back on the meds and the dose was right.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm good." She smiled. "I'm feeling more like myself now."
He smiled and kissed her. "Good. I'm glad and very soon Brantley will be home and we can start our life as a family." She nodded. "Now, you should go rest." She nodded and headed upstairs.
The next day, they went to visit Brantley. Dani smiled as they walked into the nursery. They walked over to the bassinet where he was.
"He's doing well." The nurse said as they did. "He's put on two more ounces and he's breathing on his own."
"Great." Dani replied as she touched his hand. "Hey, little guy." The baby held her hand. She couldn't help but smile as he did. "Mommy loves you."
The doctor walked up. "It's nice to see you Dani." Cody said as he did. "Brantley is doing very well. If he continues to gain weight as he is, he will be able to go home in a few short weeks."
Dani smiled. "You hear that little guy. You will be home before long."
Cody smiled. "Randy comes to see him everyday."
She nodded. "I'm glad he does." She replied. "I'm glad you all are here to take care of him and make sure he comes home with me."
Cody nodded. "Shouldn't be long now."
"Great." She smiled and turned back to Brantley. "I can't wait to have my baby home."
Cody nodded. "I know." He looked at her and John. "Well, we will leave you guys to spend time with your son."
Dani stood there looking at the baby. She looked at John. "I told you it was worth it to have this little guy. Everything I went through was worth it." She took his hand. "And now we have our family. And it is complete. You, me and Brantley."
John smiled. "I love you."
She smiled and kissed him. "I love you too." She then looked at Brantley. "And I love you little one." She said. The baby cooed. She smiled when he did. She couldn't wait to have him home. Her mom was already talking about his christening. She and John walked outside of the nursery as her cell rang. She sighed and picked up. "Hello?"
"Hey your niece is about to be born."
"We'll be right there." She said as she hung up. She looked at John. "Jenna is in labor." John nodded and they headed toward the hospital.
They got to the hospital and headed to labor and delivery. She saw her family in waiting room. Ted walked up to her. "Glad you made it."
"Let me guess, Mike is a basket case?"
"Yes." Ted laughed.
"Let me talk to him." Ted nodded and Dani headed that way. "You alright?"
"Yeah."
"Liar. She'll be okay."
"I hope so."
"She will be because she's strong." Mike nodded. "Now, just remember that and be there for her. She is giving you an amazing gift."
Mike smiled. "Yeah, she is."
"So, why aren't you in the delivery room with her?"
"They're checking her."
Dani nodded. "Don't worry so much. Everything will be fine."
The door opened up and the doctor peaked out. "Its time." Mike nodded and headed into the room. Dani walked back to the waiting room where everyone was.
John put his arm around her. "Everything will be fine."
She nodded. "I know so. I'm just excited to see the baby."
He smiled. "And soon there will be another baby in our family."
She nodded. "See? Everything worked out like it should." John nodded. "I told you it would."
"I know you did." He replied. "Dani, I just didn't want to lose you. I wouldn't have been able to take that."
She smiled and kissed him. "I know what your fears were and I always understood them. I love you and you standing by me in this just proved to me how much you love me despite the reservation you had at the beginning. And now we have our son and Mike and Jenna are having their little one. Life couldn't get better."
Mike walked out a little later. "Well?" Ted asked him.
"Jenna and the baby are doing fine." He smiled and showed them the picture. "And this is my beautiful daughter. We'd like you to meet Jana Danielle."
Dani smiled as she looked at the picture. "She's beautiful."
Mike smiled. "Yeah she is." He looked at his family. "I should get back to Jenna."
"Yes, you should." Dani smiled and hugged him. "Give her and that little one a hug and kiss." Mike nodded and headed in. She turned to John and the family. "We should celebrate and let Mike and Jenna have some alone time with their new little one." John nodded. He took her hand and they headed out with everyone.
Mike looked at his daughter. "You are such a little princess." He said as he held her. "You are the cutest little one." Jenna laughed. He looked at her. "What? She is the cutest baby ever." She smiled. He walked over and kissed Jenna. "Because she looks like her beautiful mom."
Jenna smiled. "Always the flatterer."
He kissed her. "That's my job." He smiled. "Always." She smiled again. She couldn't have been happier that things were working out like they should. That everyone was happy.
