New Family Member

Michael sat on the edge of the hospital bed as he watched his wife feed their daughter. The little girl weighs 6 lbs. 5 oz. and is 19 inches long. Michael could not wait to see the look on Trivette's face when he heard that Walker had won the poll.

"We still have to name her." Michael said as he watched his daughter finish eating.

"I know, I was thinking about Elizabeth Lynn. After our Grandmothers, since both names need to be passed on." Angela said as she watched the baby's eyes open revealing the same blue-gray eyes like her mother.

"I love it. Elizabeth Lynn Gage. Well I better go tell the rest of the gang in the waiting room."

Michael goes to the waiting room where everyone was waiting on news about Angela and the baby.

"Hey everybody, it's a girl, 6 lbs. 5 oz, 19 inches long; got her mother's looks and fighting abilities, she is already kicking away."

"Congratulations" everyone said in unison.

"Hey Walker how did you know, for the poll that is exactly what you guessed; Wait don't tell me you had a gut feeling right." Trivette said as he gave a look of pure annoyance after all these years it still bugged him when Walker would use the "Cherokee" knowledge of his.

"Well, are you going to make us wait for ever? What's her name?"

"Elizabeth Lynn Gage, after her great-grandmothers;"

"That's a beautiful name, Michael." Walker said.

A few moments later everyone was crowed into Angela's hospital room and everyone had a chance to hold Elizabeth.

"Hey Gage, ya feeling like a grandpa yet?" Trivette teased as Gage was holding Elizabeth.

"Hey you're older than I am. I bet it won't be long before it is you holding your grandchild." Gage teased back as he looked over at Simon and his fiancé Jennifer, the wedding is next week and they already said that they wanted kids right away.

"She is so beautiful; I can't believe this little miracle." Alex said as she kissed Elizabeth's little fingers and handed her back to Angela.

"We can't stay long," Alex informed her. "We're just glad you're both ok. And to let you know that Tim Ross will be prosecuted with the full wait of the law; he won't be getting out any time soon this time."

"Thanks Mom."

"We also couldn't leave with out seeing the baby." Erica said to change the subject to a happier note.

True to their word everyone did not stay long. As Michael watched his daughter whose blue-gray eyes were wide open as if trying to take in the whole world at once. He nuzzled against Angela's neck whispering to her; "I'd bet money on the fact there is probably a lot of that Cherokee disposition hidden under that Walker façade."

"Is that such a bad thing?"

"No, that will be something that gives her that extra special force just like her Mom."

(A/N: Elizabeth is after Walker's mother (Angela's middle name) and Lynn is after Gage's mother (Hannah's, Michael's sister, middle name), I really don't know Gage's mother's name.)
