Author's Notes: Finally have a name for his daughter. Relates to all fics in this drabble series where Reeve has a daughter.

Theme: Family

Rena

Honestly? He'd been afraid, really afraid. At first all he had known was that his wife had gone to the doctor one day, and said 'we need to talk' the next. On the phone she had assured him that she did not have some fatal illness, but he could hardly believe it. Maria was always trying to spare him worrying, which just caused the worrying anyway.

He'd been told to wait for her in their apartment, but he could not sit still. He was pacing back and forth, counting the time it would take for her to get back from work. Unlike her, Reeve had the day off. So all day he had sat here, thinking of the worst possible situations.

Then there was the sound of a key entering a lock. The executive whirled quickly to regard the door. Time almost stood still as the lock slowly turned, releasing its grip upon the door. Slowly it opened, revealing his beloved wife. As he had grown to expect during the past month, the woman was positively glowing with joy. A wide grin spread over her features as she noticed him there, waiting.

"Hello honey, did you enjoy your day off?" she began, her tone conversational.

Maria burst out laughing as she was caught up in Reeve's embrace, the worry on his face giving her great joy.

"What is wrong?" he said, starting to inspect face, neck and arms.

"Hey, hey, slow down mister," the happy wife said, pushing him away.

With this done she was free to turn and close the door. After that she lead her still worried husband into the living room and directed him to join her on the couch.

"Reeve," Maria said, leaning against him.

"Yes love?"

"You know how we always talked about having a family together?"

"Yeah. When we are ready then we'll try…"

"Reeve, there is no need to TRY…"

Shock was written on his features. "Do you mean…?"

"If it's a girl, can we call her Rena?"

"Oh my god," Reeve shouted, jumping up and pulling her into a strong embrace. "You're going to be a mommy! And I'm going to be a daddy!"

The woman laughed at her husband's enthusiasm. "One big happy family."
