Chapter 9

3 years later

"James!" Sarah called as she waddled down the stairs. "It's time!"

James ran into the room. "The baby's coming?" he gasped.

"Yep," she nodded. "My water just broke."

"Okay, go on to the car. I'll grab your bag and take Emma over to Rich and Stacey's."

Sarah nodded and headed to their SUV. Emma had just turned two and would be very antsy at the hospital, so their neighbors (and good friends) had agreed to be on call to keep her when the baby came.

James jumped in the car and they reached the hospital quickly.

Two hours later, Sarah cradled her new baby girl in her arms. James sat on the bed and gently stroked the infant's head. "Hey there, baby. We've waited a long time to meet you," Sarah said with a smile. She handed the baby to James who kissed her forehead.

Sarah smiled as she watched her husband interact with their new daughter. The past three years had been wonderful. They had settled in to their new home, and they both really liked Savannah. It was relaxing and peaceful, and they had made friends quickly with Rich and Stacey. Rich was a detective with the Savannah police department and had helped James get hired on as well. It was hilarious to both James and Sarah considering their past life, but James had really enjoyed the work. Sarah had gotten pregnant not too long after they moved, and Emma was born on Stacey's birthday.

After three years, they had gotten used to their lives as James and Sarah Martin, but there would always be memories of their lives in Port Charles. When they were alone, they occasionally discussed their old life. Things had been very quiet, and they liked it that way.

There was a knock on the door and Rich and Stacey entered with Emma in tow.

"Hey, Mommy!" Emma called as she tried to scramble onto the bed. James handed the baby back to Sarah and lifted Emma onto the bed. She looked into his face. "Hey, Daddy," she said sweetly.

"Hey, Emma," he said with a laugh. "Guess what? We have somebody for you to meet."

"Baby?" she asked as she noticed the bundle in her mother's arms.

"Yes," Sarah replied. "This is your new baby sister, Morgan."
