AN: Final chapter for this fic. I'm most likely doing a sequel to this. I'll make Emily a little older like 4 or something. I think it'll be cute to see her grow up. Hope you all enjoyed the fic. :)

Serena tossed and turned half the night, in anticipation of meeting her baby. She dreamt of what they moment would feel like. She wondered if she would be so overjoyed that tears would fall. Or maybe she would be so happy a smile would stretch across her face. Would the baby like her? Would the baby react to her? It was all too soon to tell anything. She just wanted to see and hold her baby. Although Emily was premature, she had gained wait over the past week and was finally put in the newborn section. She would still be kept two more days for observation but Serena would finally be able to see her. Dan had seen her the night of the incident. He watched as doctors worked on both her and Serena. He tried to take a picture for Serena but it came out blurry.

Serena clung to her covers when the doctor walked in.

"It's time Serena."

"Where's Dan?"

"He's with Emily. He slept there last night."

"Was there something wrong?"

"She had a stomach problem and she would only let him feed her."

"Daddy's little girl."

"Are you ready?"

"I guess."

"If you're not ready, we can wait."

"No it's not that, I just don't know what to expect."

"It'll come to you." The doctor replied as he wheeled Serena out of the room.

They approached the room and Serena's heart sank. She wanted to feel more excited like she did back in her room, but after the trial it was just so much. They put her next to a station and the nurse brought Emily out. All Serena saw at first was a pink blanket. She was so tiny and her brown eyes were so dark. The nurse motioned for Serena to hold her. At first Serena shook her head, but then she opened her arms. She craddled Emily, and looked deep into her eyes. There was the connection she had hoped to feel. Dan walked in and saw the picture perfect moment of Serena and their daughter together."

"So, you like her?"

"She's beautiful"

"And in two days we can take her home."

"We should think of godparents soon."

"Let's just enjoy this moment with Emily."

"You're right lets."

"This is a Kodak moment right here." Dan laughed.

"And all that had to happen to get us here."

"Don't think about that, we have Emily now."

"Yea, but we're gonna have to tell her one day. What if Elaine comes back."

"Serena, please."

"I want to speak with her."

"Why?"

"Closure. We both kinda need it after Seth, don't you think."

"You won't let her see Emily, right?"

"No. I'm not that forgiving."

Serena went back to bouncing her little girl in her arms. An hour passed before the finally took Emily back to her room. Serena didn't want to let go. She kissed Emily's head and whispered in her ear. "Mommy loves you." As the doctors took Emily away, Dan wheeled Serena away.

Dan postioned Serena upright in her bed and tossed the covers on her. He tucked her in hastily.

"Is something wrong?"

"No."

"Dan, clearly you're mad. I'm in a hospital bed, what did I really do."

"Why must you see Elaine?"

"So I take it you didn't call her for me."

"No, I did. I say exactly what you said. I just don't understand why."

"You remember that weekend your mom blew you off and you later found out she went away with her boyfriend?"

"What does this have to do with our child."

"You called her on the phone and ripped her an ass. You didn't care how she felt or that I told you to calm down. You wanted your mom to know how much she hurt you and that there was no way to forgive her. I need Elaine to know how I feel. How her son would of felt."

"You knew him for a month."

"Yea, but we connected. It's hard to explain, but when I got off that plane I owed him something. You would of done the same thing."

Before Dan could even respond Elaine emerged. She had a black mink coat on and her heels clanked against the floor. She lowered the rim of her glass and gave a grave look. She cupped her hands around the lenses and removed them. She hair was pulled behind her and you could smell her Channel No. 5 a mile away. She tapped her foot waiting for someone to greet her.

"Elaine...never a pleasure." Dan said as he walked out.

"I see he hasn't lost his charm. Shall I sit?"

"Yes I have a lot to say."

"Go dear."

"First off you're a bitch. Secondly, if you ever try and touch my child you'll regret it."

"If you called me her to yell I don't need it."

"You need to listen. All this stress almost cost me my child. Would Seth really want you to terrorize me?"

"You exaggerate."

"Elaine, I am truly sorry you lost Seth, and I know now that if I lost Emily it would crush me. She's my entire world now."

"You finally understand what it's like to love a child."

"I looked into her eyes and all I saw was this tiny version of everything I ever wanted."

Elaine had a tear fall down her face, but she quickly wiped it before Serena saw. "I set up a trust fund for her. My family or not, she should have Seth's money."

"Seth would like that."

Elaine nodded her head. She picked up her bag and left. As she made it to the door she looked at Serena and smiled. Dan watched as Elaine left the hospital. He didn't feel sorry for her at all, even if Serena did.

"Is that over with?"

"Yea."

"Good, now we can move on." Dan smiled.

The next day the doctor surprised them. He allowed them to take Emily home. Dan packed up the car and headed towards the hotel. They would take a private car back into the city. Serena and Dan were finally ready to start their life together with their new daughter. Everything was finally falling into place.

AN: The end :)
