Farkle's POV
They took KC in right away.
"Who do you want in the room with you?" The nurse asked KC.
"Farkle and my mom," she said. I ran to get Katy from the waiting room.
Lucas' POV
Farkle ran into the waiting room.
"Katy," he said. She looked up. "You need to come with me."
"Why? What's going on?" She asked. She had Aaron's clothes with her.
"KC went into labor," he said. "She wants us both in there with her." He looked at me. "Lucas, can you take Aaron's clothes to him so he can get changed?"
"Yeah sure," I said, standing up. I got the clothes from Katy.
"How did she go into labor?" Maya asked.
"They think her running to Aaron's room induced labor," Farkle said. He laughed a little. "Aaron thought she peed herself." We all laughed. I headed to Aaron's room.
Maya's POV
I looked at Christian.
"You're gonna have a new cousin soon," I told him. He smiled.
"Should we call my family?" Josh asked.
"Yeah," I said. "I'll call Riley, you call Topanga or Cory."
"Okay," he said. I dialed her number and he walked away to call Topanga.
It didn't take Riley long to answer.
"He's not gone, is he?" She asked.
"No," I said. "Actually, Aaron's cancer is completely gone."
"Really?! That's amazing!" She said.
"I know, right?" I asked.
"So, why did you call?" She asked.
"KC went into labor," I said. "I figured you'd want to be here."
"We will be right there!" She said into the phone and hung up.
"Is she coming?" Josh asked me.
"Yeah," I said. "Are they?"
"Yep," he said.
"What'd I miss?" Shawn asked, coming out of the bathroom.
"KC's in labor," I said.
"Wait," he said. "My first granddaughter is coming now?!"
"Yep," I said.
Farkle's POV
KC had another contraction. After it passed she looked over at me.
"Just know, no matter what I say during this, I love you," she said.
I smiled. "I know. I love you too."
Topanga's POV
Auggie and Ava were sitting with Aaron, talking to him.
"Are you ready to be a big brother?" Auggie asked him.
"Yeah, she's gonna be pretty like mommy," he said.
Katy's POV
"I am so ugly right now," KC said.
"You're beautiful," I said.
"I'm drenched in sweat," she said, "I'm probably breaking Farkle's hand right now. There is nothing beautiful about me right now."
"As far as I'm concerned, you're gorgeous no matter what," Farkle said. "And you're not breaking my hand."
KC had another contraction. The look on Farkle's face was priceless. She must have squeezed his hand really hard, because his eyes went wide.
Topanga's POV
I watched the kids as they kept talking.
"Do you know what they're going to name her?" Ava asked.
"Yeah," he said. "I'm not supposed to tell."
"It's a secret?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said.
I looked over at Riley who was holding Penny.
"How's my namesake doin'?"
"She's doing great," Riley said. She looked at Penny. "You wanna go to grandma?"
Penny nodded and walked over to me. I picked her up.
"So where's Andrew?"
"At work," Riley said.
Cory's POV
Suddenly, Marley walked into the hospital.
"Why did no one tell me my best friend is in labor?" She asked. Her eyes landed on Aaron. "Lukey!"
"Auntie Marley!" He yelled and ran to hug her. She accepted the hug.
"Hey, Mr. Matthews," she greeted me. "So again, why did no one tell me KC is in labor? Or that this little guy is okay?"
"How did you find out if no one told you?" Riley asked. "About KC being in labor," she added.
"Josh texted Jasmine about it and I saw the text."
"Why did you text Jasmine about it?" Maya asked.
"She's friends with KC," he said. "Why were you with Jasmine?"
"She's friends with my boyfriend," she said. "Yeah, but I would have liked to know. I'm going to be her Godmother after all."
"I remember KC saying she was going to ask you," Maya said.
Farkle's POV
"Just one more push, KC," Dr. Justice said.
She squeezed me hand as she pushed. I heard our baby girl's cry. KC looked at me and we both smiled. They let me cut the cord. They wrapped her in a pink blanket, and gave her to KC. After a few minutes, she handed her off to me. As I held her I could see that she had blonde hair (which makes sense because we both started out with blonde hair) and KC's green eyes.
Maya's POV
Farkle came out to the waiting room. We all looked at him.
"You ready to meet your little sister, Aaron?"
Aaron got a huge smile on his face. He jumped up out of his seat and went with Farkle. Farkle looked back at us.
"You guys can wait in the hall," he said.
We followed them to the room and waited to see her.
KC's POV
Aaron walked in with Farkle. Farkle lifted him up so he could see her.
"That's her?" He asked.
"Yeah," I said. "This is your little sister."
"She's pretty," he said. I smiled.
"Yeah she is," I said.
"Just like your mom, right?" Farkle asked. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah," he said. I smiled.
"Wanna hold her?"
"Yeah!" He said excitedly.
Farkle set him down and he sat in a chair. Farkle took our daughter from me and took her to Aaron.
"You need to be really careful, okay?" He asked him.
"Okay," he said. He lifted her and kissed her head. That's his way of showing protection. Farkle taught him that.
Maya's POV
"What's her name?" I asked when I finally got to see her.
"Brooklyn Austine Minkus," KC said.
"She's beautiful," I said. "How'd you come up with the name?"
"Where we grew up," Farkle said. "It was actually kind of Aaron's idea."
"He said that we should name her something that means a lot to us," KC said. "Something that made us who we are."
"I grew up in Brooklyn, and KC grew up in Austin," Farkle said.
"But since Austin is normally a boys' name, I decided to go with the girl version of Austin," KC said.
"I think that's the perfect name for her," I said. "Can I hold her?"
"Of course," KC said.
Everyone took turns looking at her and holding her. The doctor told them that they can take her home tomorrow.
Author's Note: Hope you liked this Chapter! (This chapter and the previous chapter were set on November 6th, 2021 just in case you got lost)
I was never going to kill off Aaron. I knew I had to set everything perfectly so that it would be a surprise he survived. (1) I wanted to show how it would affect the ones closest to him (especially KC), and (2) I wanted to see what reactions there would be to this type of thing happening to him.
I actually know someone that had a similar thing happen to them. A family friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer. When they went to take her for testing to see how bad it was, she prayed to God, telling him that she wasn't ready- she had two boys (one of them is my age) that need her. When they did the testing, they found no sign of cancer whatsoever. The cancer disappeared in that short of time.
My cousin actually had Leukemia when he was 8 to like 12. It affected our family greatly. Thankfully, he beat it and is now 18 and in college. He wants to be a doctor.
