Disclaimer: I don't own the characters owned by Joss Whendon. The name Serenity and Sakura are two of my favorite names so that is why I have two S' names.
Feedback: Feedback would be great. I have had this idea playing around in my mind for a while. I would love to hear what you have to say about this little ficlet.

Title: New Baby 1/1 (This is part of my Happy Family Series.)
Author: TK
"How about Alyssa?" asked Buffy looking over the book she had in her hand at her eleven year old golden blonde hair daughter.
"No way," Serenity Anne Summers shook her head at her mother's suggestion. "My friend Emma has a little cousin named Alyssa. I want it to be different. A name no one has ever really heard of before," commented the cute little girl staring at bother her mother and father sitting opposite of her on the couch.
"How about Seika?" wondered Angel smiling at his little Princess.
"Nah," shoot down Serenity once more. "Thank you for letting me think of names to Daddy and Mommy," the proud little girl thanked her parents.
"You're a part of this too, Princess," Angel assured the little girl.
He had to admit when he and Buffy first found out that they would be welcoming a new member to their family they were a little hesitant. Serenity had been their life for so long, and all the attention had gone towards her. That they had doubts on weather or not she would be happy about such news.
Yet the moment Serenity or Rini to them had learned she was to be a big sister soon, Buffy and Angel knew they had nothing to worry about. The young fifth grader took the news well. Then when Buffy told her she was going to have a baby sister, that made Serenity even more excited. She had told her parents that now she had someone to talk too and share clothes with.
"I like the name Christina," stated Buffy writing it down on the listed the family of three were compling for the baby's new name.
"That's pretty, Mommy," agreed Serenity," but for a middle name. I want my baby sister to have a name that no one else in her class will likely have."
"So in another words…," lead Angel.
"A name like mine," finished Serenity. "I have yet to met another Serenity. "I've met a Serena before, but that was her whole name. It wasn't a nickname like Aunt Willow uses for me."
"Okay, how about Destiny?" suggested Buffy closing the baby book and leaded against her husband of twelve years. Still marveling at his warmth.
Angel smiled down at his wife and shook his head. He didn't like that one very much either. "What about another S name?" he settled.
"Sakura," blurted out Serenity suddenly looking up from her manga she read.
"Sakura?" asked Buffy liking the name as she could tell Angel did as well.
"Sakura," Serenity explained. "It means Cherry Blossom, plus it's a name hardly used here in the states, and it's pretty," she reasoned.
"Sakura it is," Buffy and Angel agreed together as Buffy rubbed her round belly. "Hey little one, you have a name now. Sakura Angel Summers," she smiled feeling her husband kiss her lips.
"I have to go call Kellie," squealed Serenity taking off. No doubt running upstairs to grab her cell to call her new friend to tell her of the news.
"So Sakura and Serenity," said Angel saying his two girls' names. "and my Buffy," he said sweetly. "Am I lucky or what?"
"We're the lucky ones," Buffy agreed curling up in her husbands arms. " A bright beautiful daughter and another on the way, we are truly blessed, My Angel."
"That we are," agreed Angel.
At that Buffy's stomach growled and the baby kicked.
"I think, Sakura's hungry," Buffy told Angel pulling away from her husband.
"Chinese?" asked Angel standing up grabbing his coat.
"With ice-cream," added Buffy.
"Are we getting ice-cream?" asked Serenity running down the stairs with her phone in her hand. "Daddy, Mommy, can Kellie stay the night?" she asked with her friend on the other line.
"What did Tara and William say?" wondered Buffy referring to Kellie's parents.
"That as long as it was okay with you she could since tonight's not a school night."
"Come on, Princess," Angel said picking his little girl up. "We'll pick her up on the way to grab something to eat and some ice-cream.
"Thank you Daddy, Mommy," thanked Serenity throwing her arms around Angel. "I love you."
"We love you to, Princess," Buffy told her oldest fixing one of Serenity's ponytails.
"I love you too, Sakura," Serenity told Buffy's stomach causing Buffy and Angel to smile and the baby to kick.
"She says she loves you too," Buffy answered her eldest for her youngest. "Now be good for Daddy, and help him."
"I will Mommy, I'll be the best helper ever, and so will Kellie," she promised and her friend agreed on the other line.
"Let's go then," Angel told his daughter putting her down so she could grab her coat.
"Bye, Mommy," Serenity said waving good-bye.
"I am so lucky to have you three, Sakura," Buffy told the baby in her stomach. "You are going to be born into a family so full of love that you'll never be alone."
The baby kicked softly as if agreeing with her mother," Now all we have to do is wait for them to get home with some food."
