I really want to thank you for the reviews! This is the second last chapter and I wanted to dedicate it to Pansy and Marcia. Unfortunately I changed my mind. Last weekend tragedy found my family. My cousin died. She committed suicide after she had found out that she had cancer. She was only 28 and had passed all the exams that were needed to become a lawyer. She would have been great in her job and even if I didn't know her very well and I never knew if she had watched OC, I think that she would appreciate the dedication. This is for you Nancy, I will miss you!
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own any of The OC... but I wish I would!
12. Hello, sweetie!
Kirsten was holding her little daughter in her arms. 27 hours of labor had totally exhausted her and she almost fell asleep if it weren't for her little daughter. Sandy was holding the two of them, a tear rolling down his cheek. He remembered how Kirsten had almost broken his hand when the contractions had hit her. Now he looked at his wife with passion. She had been strong, so strong. He never wanted to let the two of them go but just in this moment Seth and Ryan rushed in. Behind them Summer and Marissa appeared. Everyone smiling that it had ended so well. Julie and Caleb had been staying at Kirsten's side during the birth of her daughter, now they had called the kids to come in.
"Mom, Dad. Is everything alright?" Seth asked his parents happily. He had a sister, a little healthy blonde sister. He couldn't think of what could have happened. Everyone was just glad that Kirsten and her little girl were okay. It had been so hard for them when the doctor had mentioned complications that might occur. When Kirsten had heard of the possibility of complications she had freaked out, that nobody believed that she would be strong enough. She had almost lost her consciousness and everyone believed that she wouldn't survive the delivery. Sandy was a wreck when they made him leave Kirsten alone in the delivery room, but now he was fine. On the inside he was still nervous but kept his strength for Kirsten and didn't show the fear that had built up.
"Yes, sweetie. We're fine." Kirsten answered Seth's question. I'm glad to finally have you.
"Aw, she's sooo cute." Summer couldn't hold it back anymore. She wanted to see that little girl lying in Kirsten's arms when Kirsten asked her if she wanted to hold it. How could she say no to such a sweet lovely thing? Kirsten handed Summer her little girl and then turned around to Sandy.
"You were great. I'm proud of you that you obeyed the doctors." She gave him a kiss.
"You were better." He kissed her back softly.
"Okay guys, you just had a baby. No sex for the next two years, please." Seth commented their kisses.
"Do you already have a name for her?" Marissa asked whilst holding Ryan's hand. He was totally blown away by the looks of his little sister.
"Um, well –" Kirsten stuttered. She looked at Sandy who smiled at her. Yes, we do. At least I do. They had been thinking about names many times and after some little fights they had decided to name the baby 'David' if it was a boy and 'Nancy' if it was a girl. Sandy really wanted 'David' so she gave in and agreed with it. At that time she already knew that it was going to be a girl whereas Sandy didn't. She also hadn't told Sandy that she wanted to give their girl a different name than Nancy.
"She'll be named Nancy." Sandy answered for his wife. Kirsten looked at him apologetically.
"Actually, honey, no. I thought of something better. I want to name her Katherine. You know it's the name of my mother and it starts with 'K' which we could see as a tradition." She explained him her intentions.
"What do you mean by tradition?" Sandy was perplexed. He wasn't mad at her but they had chosen the names together and now his opinion was out of the question. He liked 'Katherine' but he felt disappointment about the fact that his wife hadn't asked him about that.
"Tradition. Well, because you have an 'S' and Seth obviously has an 'S' too. I thought about many names with 'K' and I think 'Katherine' is just the best one for our little girl. But I think a middle name would be great in case she comes into trouble. What do you think of 'Nancy'?" Kirsten smiled at Sandy. His eyes lit up and he kissed his wife again. A tradition would be great, darling. The others gathered around them. They had smiles on their faces. Yeah, we'll keep that tradition. Seth, Summer, Ryan and Marissa thought. Especially Caleb. She thought of Katherine. He remembered how sad Kirsten had been when her mother passed away. Now, her mother would live again in his granddaughter.
"Okay, guys how about heading home? My wife and my daughter seem pretty tired." Sandy took little Katherine out of Summer's arms and laid her down into her bed.
They had been gone half an hour ago when Sandy wanted to leave his wife and his daughter to get some sleep. He gave Kirsten a kiss on her forehead when she grabbed his arm.
"No, wait. There's something we need to talk about." Her face had gotten serious, but yet she smiled at him.
"Okay what is it? Are you pregnant again?" He said jokingly. Kirsten shook her head and looked to her daughter. She was asleep.
"No, of course not. But I think we should have a DNA test. Just to be sure." She really wanted it and she wouldn't let go of this even if Sandy didn't agree.
"Honey, we don't need to do this. I don't care whether I'm her genetic father or not. She'll always be my daughter." He took Kirsten's hand and caressed it with his thumb.
"But I care. I really want to do this." She gave him a pleading look to agree. You don't have to beg. I'd do everything to make you happy. He thought, still caressing her hand.
"Honey, you know I'd never disagree with you. At least not now." He grinned at her. They would be great parents for their little daughter no matter who the father was. Kirsten took his other hand and squeezed them lovingly.
"You know, that I wouldn't talk to you anymore if you weren't my husband." She kissed him again and closed her eyes. God, I'm so exhausted. I really need some rest. And with those thoughts she fell asleep.

I guess you have seen that I changed some lines. Of course you don't know that, but the second name was supposed to be Grace, but I thought it would be nice to call her Nancy. Anyways, I hope you liked the chapter and please REVIEW!
