(A/N: yup, I'm still narrating)
Danny stood there in shock as Sam gripped his hand very tightly. "What do you mean she has to have a c-section? Can't she just deliver this one too?" Danny asked, sounding really concerned
"No, the baby's feet are in the opposite direction. It'll be too late before we can turn it back around right.
"Sam just went to the doctor last week and they said that she and the babies were normal!"
"Fetuses can move around a lot in a short period of time. She'll be okay. We just have to put her to sleep and it'll be over before you know it."
Danny looked at Sam. She looked so upset. The labor must've been really intense. If she didn't go through with the procedure, she and the baby might die. He couldn't risk that.
"Alright. Do the surgery. But, just, be careful."
"I, myself, have done many caesareans before. I haven't lost a patient in the past, and I don't intend to in the future."
A nurse walked over to the black-haired halfa. "Are you going to stay for the procedure?" she asked
He nodded, looking at the young girl he loved, holding onto her life trying to save another's. Danny knew that the two might not live through it, but he didn't want to see Sam in anymore pain than she already was in. He just wanted their pain to end.

Danny held Sam's hand through the entire surgery. He occasionally peeked at the doctors' progress. He saw a tiny body in the middle of the seemingly endless sea of blood. One of them carefully reached inside Sam's stomach. He slowly pulled out a very small figure. Danny couldn't bear to watch it. It was too much for him. Unlike the first baby, this one was much smaller. Soon, he heard a loud cry. Danny sighed a sigh of relief. His baby had made it. A doctor came over to him and said, "Congratulations. It's a girl."

Sam was still asleep the next morning from the morphine. But Danny wouldn't leave her side. He held their daughter tightly with one hand. With the other, he held Sam's hand. Danny hadn't seen their other daughter yet. She was in the intensive care unit facility across the building. He looked at his daughter. She had little tufts of jet-black hair, just like his own. The little girl also had brilliant cascade-blue eyes. She was definitely his daughter. About fifteen minutes later, a nurse tapped lightly on the door. Danny turned around. "You can see your daughter now," she whispered
A huge grin formed on his face. He got up and kissed Sam's head before he left the room with the nurse and their older daughter.

They got to the baby's room, which she was sleeping in. Danny crept in quietly and went over to her incubator. She was so small. He walked over to her and gently rubbed her head. She had little tufts of strawberry-blonde hair (A/N: I thought that since Sam's parents had blonde and red hair, she had originally had strawberry blonde, but dyed it. So I gave her daughter that color hair). Danny wanted to hold his baby so badly. But they were still doing tests on her, so he couldn't take her out. He kissed her head and walked away slowly.

Three days later, Sam finally opened her eyes. Danny was so relieved to know that she was awake. "Wha-what happened?" she asked, trying to sit up
But Danny wouldn't let her. He laid her back down. Then he handed her their first baby and sat down next to her.
"Oh, my God, Danny. She's perfect."
"Yeah," he said, putting his arm around Sam, "But so are you."
"Oh..." She kissed Danny's cheek. "Wait. Where's the other one?"
"Hm?"
"The other one. My other baby?"
"Oh, she's in the intensive care unit across the building. They're running tests on her."
"Why?!" she screamed, clutching her daughter's head
"She was born really tiny and she was positioned wrong. They want to make sure she's okay. But she will."
"She must be strong if she's your daughter."
"True."
The two shared a laugh.
"What should we name this one?" Danny asked
"Lilith," Sam said as she nuzzled her newborn
"How'd I guess?"
"I'm predictable."
"Yeah, how about Lilith Roxana."
"Pretty. I like it. Lilith Roxana Fenton."
"You're giving her my last name?"
"Well, she is your daughter. Right?"
"Yeah. But I just assumed that—"
Sam put a finger up to his lips. "I know. I wanted her to keep my last name but I changed my mind. She deserves to know who her dad was."
"Thanks, Sam. This means a lot." He kissed her lightly.
"I know."
"She definitely is my daughter," Danny said under his breath
"What was that?"
"You notice that she looks exactly like me yet?"
"Oh, my God! She does! She has your eyes, your hair, your entire look!"
"But your pout. See?" He pointed to Lilith's sleeping face.
"It's a start."
"Sam, when you can, I'll take you to see our other little girl. Okay?"
She just nodded. "I think that that'd be great. Thanks."

The next day, Sam's nurse said that she could go see our other baby. They were now five days old, and Sam was seeing her youngest daughter for the first time. The nurse wheeled her into our daughter's room where she was resting. Sam took one look at her and immediately fell in love with her. "Oh, my God, Danny! She's, she's—"
"Beautiful?"
Sam nodded. "Am I allowed to hold her yet?" she asked
"I'll go ask." The nurse walked out of the room. Sam slowly ran her fingers across the infant's tiny cheek. "Danny, she's like an angel."
"I know. That's what I thought the first time I saw her too."
"I want her name to be special. Something unique. How do you feel about the name 'Anthea'?"
"I think that it's beautiful."
"Anthea Nava Tracey Fenton. How's that."
"It's unique. Just like you. How'd you think of the names?"
"My cousin's name is Nava, which I think is a amazing name. And I just liked the name Tracey."
"You never cease to amaze me, don't you?"
"Nope," she said, rubbing Anthea's head gently. "I just wish that I hadn't have had her so young. I mean, she's so little."
Danny kneeled onto the floor so he was facing Sam. "She'll be fine. And more importantly, you're okay. You made it through the labor. That was the worst part."
"Yeah, but who knows if she'll make it?"
(A/N: yeah, Sam's still having light mood swings)
"Don't be so negative. She's a strong girl. Just like her mom. She'll get through this."
"I hope so." Danny kissed her cheek.
"I know so."
