Hi people! Here's one more...not the last. I realized Jack's wife's name is
not Marie but Maria, (throughout all of it it's written that way already so
I'm sorry but I won't change it) I wanted to thank you for the reviews I
got...you know you can e-mail me if got any doubt, comment, whatever.
Thanks. :)
Time passed by quickly for her. Seven months and she was given a maternity league. She'd received a picture of Hannah and Kate and another one of them with Jack, apart of the ones of the girls with Danny. And then one more month.

Danny was ready to leave for three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Jack was pretty sure he was going to see her, but then doubted when Hannah told him she wanted to go with him. Danny was not against it, Marie sounded pleased and Jack, well, Jack couldn't say no to any of Hannah's requests. So Friday morning they left and arrived at Washington DC before lunch. That same morning Samantha's neighbour had taken her to hospital, so when Danny found out they were both by her side waiting to see the baby.
"Danny, I'm gonna kill you," Sam said as she realized Hannah's presence in the room.
"I begged him to come. She's my sister, Sam," said Hannah taking the defensive.
To both of them, Samantha said "I'm glad you came, thank you."
"So it's a girl after all ha, what's her name?" Danny said impatiently.
"I was waiting for you opinion."
"OK, hit."
"Caia." Not willing to wait any longer she added "So? What do you think?"
"I gotta see her."
"Oh come on Danny!" Sam said smiling.
"I like it." Hannah had waited enough to talk herself. "Caia what?"
"M. Spade, I think. I'm not sure yet...Jack doesn't know. I don't wanna cause trouble."
"It'll be fine. Though that 'M' is a bit..." Danny commented.
"Oh come on! You're ruining it for me."
"Why?"
"I want it to be somewhere, her dad I mean," she said sadly.
"So Caia M. Spade it is then."
Danny looked at Hannah, and she looked at Sam, who looked at both of them with a slight true smile. She so much missed Jack. They realized.
A nurse went into the room holding a middle-size, bold baby. Surprised because she didn't know who they were she asked to Danny and Hannah "And who are you?" She was serious. Still, something told Samantha she was actually trying to be friendly.
"My bother Danny," Sam answered quickly, without even thinking what the consequences of that could be.
"I'm Hannah." She definitely didn't want to be left aside. "He's my dad."
Danny's skin turned white. No, not pale. White. Was he actually old enough to be her father? Samantha noticed and paid attention to the nurse, who was giving Caia to her.
"I finally made up my mind about her name," Sam said trying to break the awkwardness of the moment.
"Good. Who is she then?"
She had obviously noted Danny's face change colour.
"Caia M. Spade."
"Oh. I'd never heard of that name. And what does the 'M' stand for?" she did not want to let her think she was extremely interested in such a detail.
"Her father's." Turning to Hannah, Samantha asked "How is he?"
"It didn't work out."
"What? What do you mean 'It didn't work out'?"
"It was never about you Sam. If you hadn't left this would have happened anyway, even if it had never started on the first place. So it's not you, for sure...they just don't work together anymore."
"I'm sorry. How did you take it?"
"I understand he still loves you. You shouldn't be sorry, it would have happened eventually."
"What about Katie?"
"She's sad, still."
"'Still'?"
"A couple months after you left. She doesn't know why it had to happen. She misses dad not kissing her goodnight every day," said Hannah. Then she realized the nurse was looking at her as if she had said something wrong. 'She misses DAD...' so she looked at Danny, who understood and said "She's not really my daughter."
The nurse, confused, left the room.
Caia was quiet, awake but silent. Her eyes were Samantha's but apart from that, they didn't look alike at all.
"Do you want to hold her Hannah?" asked Samantha. She was after all, her sister.
"Are you sure. She's so little." Hannah doubted. Attempted to agree but didn't answer.
"Come on, she's not gonna break," Danny encouraged her.
Hannah approached to the bed and took the baby in her arms. The last time she'd done that was when Kate was born, and it frightened her. Samantha's latter question was not unexpected.
