As the months passed, the house had been made much bigger, and Camille got farther along in her pregnancy, Master Finn became more and more protective of her.

It was understandable that he wanted to protect her and the baby, but there were times when it got on her nerves.

One day, however, she realized just how much she needed that protectiveness.

Master Finn was in his den upstairs when he heard a crash. He ran out and froze. His heart nearly stopped and leapt into his throat at the sight of Camille laying at the bottom of the stairs.

"Camille!" he yelled at he ran down to her.

She was just starting to sit up when he reached her.

"Camille, are you all right?" he asked worriedly as he knelt beside her.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"David,... I landed... on my stomach," she managed to choke out before bursting into tears.

He gently held her close, letting her cry on his chest.

"Shhh. It'll be okay. We'll get you to the doctor to make sure you didn't damage anything."

"What if... something happened... to the baby?" she sobbed.

He bit his lip before answering.

"I... I don't know."

He hated it when he said that, and so did Camille.

He took her to the doctor, and the doctor had some tests run to make sure she and the baby were okay. After he got the results, he took them into his office.

"I have the results of the tests."

Camille gripped Master Finn's hand fearfully, and he gave her hand a gentle, reassuring squeeze.

"Everything is fine, you just got a little shaken and bruised up, Mrs. James."

Both sighed in relief.

Master Finn thanked the doctor, and they left, filled with relief.

Months later, at JKP, the gang, inculding Fran, who was staying for the night, was startled from their sleep by the phone. RJ answered it.

"Hello?" he said sleepily.

"RJ, get down to the hospital now!"

RJ, a little more awake now, made a slightly confused face.

"Dad? What's going on?"

"Whaddya think's going on?! Think, son, I'm at the hospital at three thirty in the morning, sounding frantic, and calling you to get over here!"

RJ, still half asleep, found that his brain wasn't quite working.

"Huh?"

His father gave a frustrated sigh.

"Camille's in labor!"

RJ snapped fully awake.

"Oh! We'll be there soon."

He hung up and dashed upstairs.

"Everyone up, get dressed, and get in the van! We gotta get to the hospital stat!"

They all looked at him sleepily.

"RJ, what's going on?"

"Camille's in labor, guys!"

They all snapped awake, got dressed, got in the van, and headed to the hospital.

They arrived to find Master Phant and Master Swoop waiting at the entrance for them.

"Finn couldn't leave Camille to meet you down here, so we're doing it for him," Master Swoop told them as he and Master Phant led them upstairs and to Camille's room.

Camille was in the bed, the top part propped up so she was sitting up a little, and Master Finn was in a chair beside her, holding her hand in both of his.

Both turned as the group came in.

"Hey, guys," Camille said.

A moment later she groaned, wincing, and slightly squeezing Master Finn's hand as another contraction hit.

The Rangers, two older Masters, and Fran sat in the waiting room.

The hours ticked by slowly. Master Phant had fallen asleep, and Master Swoop was dozing lightly.

Casey, Lily, Theo, Fran, and Domonic watched RJ pace back and forth anxiously.

The Wolf Master worried for his step-mother and the baby and couldn't sit still because of it.

A few more hours slowly went by.

Then Master Fiin came to the door, joy, pride, love, and excitement obvious in his face and eyes.

Master Swoop awoke to the sudden entrance of the Shark Master's scent and shoke Master Phant awake.

"Finn? What's the news?"

A huge grin spread across Master Finn's face, and he was hardly able to keep from shouting.

"It's a girl," he said.
