Nik and Em were sitting at the dinner table eating dessert when Em started to look at her watch.
"Em, are you okay?" asked Nik.
"Nik, I think it's time."
"Time for what?" he asked.
"Nik, the baby's coming," she replied.
"WHAT?" he cried. "Oh crap! Let's get your things and go." Nik got up, helped Em up and they left with the suitcase by the door and their coats.

"That's it, Em, you're doing great!" said Nik. Emily grabbed him by his shirt in pain and looked at him.
"Nikolas, I swear, if you touch me one more time, I'll kill you with my own two hands!" yelled Emily as she pushed. Nik looked at Alan, who was delivering the baby, in fear.
"Don't worry Nik," said Alan, "they all say that. She be her normal self one the baby's out."
"I should hope so!" he cried.
"Okay Em, the head is out," said Alan. "One more push hon."
"Okay Dad," said Em. She pushed with all of her might. The baby finally came out.
"It's a girl!" said Alan, who was crying as well, besides Emily, Nik, and the baby. Alan placed his granddaughter on Emily's chest and wiped her off.
"Nik, would you like to cut the cord?" asked Alan.
"I'd love to, Dad," grinned Nik as Alan handed him the scissors. Alan and Monica watched with joy as their son-in-law cut the cord and wrap his daughter up in a blanket. Nik and Em kissed and Em apologized for anything she might offensively said back there.
"Dad," began Em, "send in the others, will you?"
"Sure Hon," said Alan. He went outside. Monica came over and hugged Emily.
"Emily, I'm so proud of you. You're a real trooper."
"Thanks Mom."
"And you Nikolas, I'm very proud of you for loving my daughter so much."
"Thanks, Mom," he replied. Meanwhile, Lucky, Liz, Faith, Sly, and little Luke walked in. So did Luke and Laura.
"Oh Nikolas, she's so beautiful," said Laura.
"She looks just like you Em," said Liz, who was now 4 months pregnant.
"She even has Nikky's nose," said Faith.
"Hey! Lulu and Em are the only ones who can call me that!" cried Nik.
"Sounds like he got beaten up today!" smirked Sly. Lucky brought his son over to Emily and the baby.
"Son, this is your cousin. I hope you will be nice to her."
"All right, Daddy," he replied.
"Have you guys decided on a name yet?" asked Liz.
"That's why we wanted you guys in here. We want to name her Faith Elizabeth Cassidine."

Later that day.....
"I still can't believe my goddaughter is also my namesake! Isn't this awesome Sly?" asked Faith as she and Sly sat at home on the couch. Faith tensed a little.
"Honey, are you okay?" he asked.
"I don't feel good," said Faith. I'm going to go lie down."
"I'll carry you to bed. Then I'm going to call Monica and ask her to take a look at you."
"Fine by me," said Faith as Sly picked her up and whisked her to bed...
* * *
"I'M WHAT?!!!" screamed Faith as Monica looked her over.
"You're pregnant," said Monica.
"No, this can't happen to me! Sly and I aren't even married yet!"
"Honey, this happens to a lot of people. Even adults that aren't married yet get pregnant."
"How am I going to tell Mom..." moaned Faith as she put her head in her hands. Alexis entered the room. She was expected to have the baby any day now.
"Tell me what Hon?" She asked. "Hi Monica."
"Hi Alexis."
"Mom, I, I'm.."
"You're what Hon?" asked Alexis.
"I, I'm pregnant." A crying Faith got out of bed and ran down the hall, past Ned, and into the bathroom. Ned came into the room and stared at a frozen Alexis.
"Alexis, what was that about?" he asked.
"Faith's pregnant," she said, crying.
* * *
"We're WHAT?" asked Sly.
"I said, we're pregnant," said Faith.
"Well, duh, but when did we do it?"
"The only time we were together. Valentine's day."
"Damn," swore Sly. "So now what?"
"What do you mean, now what? Sly, we're having a baby. Seeing we're not married yet makes a difference." Sly grinned as Faith said this.
"That's it!" he shouted. "Faith, you're a genius."
"What are you talking about Sly?"
"The only way to solve this is to get married!"
"ARE YOU NUTS?" cried Faith.
"No, I'm serious," said Sly. He started to get down on one knee. "Faith Elizabeth Davis, will you marry me?" Faith was crying as he asked this.
"Yes Sly Eckert, yes. Yes, I'll marry you!" Faith knocked Sly to the ground in a passionate kiss. "I love you Sly," said Faith.
"I love you too Faith," said Sly.
