A/N: So this chapter is a tad bit shorter than the previous one but you'll still love it =)

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or its characters.


Why is everything dark? I would ask if someone turned off the lights but its like pitch dark right now. Why do I hear a distant voice calling out my name? Oh my God! Am I dead? Shouldn't I be seeing a white light then? What if I'm going to hell? I can't go to hell!

"Jordan…"

Beth? Beth is that you? I must not be dead. I feel something cold pressed against my forehead. I can feel, so there's another sign that I must not be dead.

"Jordan," Beth calls out my name again.

Whoa, why does my body suddenly hurt? I think I can open my eyes now. I slowly start opening my eyes. Let there be light! Actually there really is a bright light shining in my eyes. Dr. Robinson is shining that bright light in my eyes.

"She'll be ok," she says.

Dr. Robinson puts the light away and walks away. I'm looking around, trying to figure out my surroundings. I'm sitting in a chair I wasn't in before. Beth and Alex are both looking at me concerned.

"What happened?" I ask, sounding groggy.

"You fainted," Beth says.

"What?" I'm confused.

"You were standing at the end of the bed filming the birth and then you fainted," Alex says and then chuckles. "Honestly no one noticed for the first two minutes."

"Oh, well I feel special," I tell them sarcastically.

Alex shrugs her shoulders. "Sorry Jordan, but my priorities have changed now. My focus is always going to be on my daughter first before you now."

Alex has a huge smile on her face right now and I can see the happiness radiating off of her body. I turn my head and everyone is surrounding Paige's bed. I can hear Brian talking in a baby voice, something he does whenever he's around a baby. I turn my head back to Alex.

"You have a daughter?" I ask.

Alex nods her head. "Yes, I have a beautiful baby girl," she says. Alex's eyes are shining but I know these tears are going to be happy tears. "Would you like to meet her?"

"Yeah."

Alex and Beth help me up. Beth is laughing quietly.

"Why are you laughing?" I ask her.

"Because yesterday you said something aboot Roger passing out and you're the one who passed out," she says.

"Well that was because I actually saw the baby coming out of… well coming out of Paige's ya know."

"Yeah, ok."

Great, now I'm going to be known as the one who passed out in the delivery room. Craig and Ellie move over to make room. Alex sits down on the side of Paige's bed and kisses Paige on the forehead. Paige looks exhausted but she also looks ecstatic. She's smiling down at the little tiny human she's carrying.

"Jordan, meet the newest edition to the family," Paige says.

Paige turns the baby toward me. Aw! It's a baby! She has a head full of black hair and she's just so tiny. I see she got Paige's nose. She is squirming a little in Paige's arm and she's just so cute! I look up at Palex.

"She's beautiful," I tell them.

"She really is," Marco agrees. "So does this little beauty have a name or are we just going to call her "Baby" her whole life?"

"Remember that "Dylan" is also a girl's name," Dylan says.

I guess since he didn't win the title of "godparent" he wants the baby to be named after him. Dylan is so ridiculous.

"Thanks hon but Alex and I already picked out a name a couple of months ago," Paige says. Paige looks up at Alex. "Do you want to introduce everyone to our daughter?" Paige is holding their daughter out toward Alex.

Alex smiles and nods her head. Paige gently and carefully hands their daughter over to Alex. Alex cradles her and tears have begun falling down Alex's face. Alex takes her daughter's hand and the baby girl instantly wraps her tiny hand around Alex's finger.

"Hi," Alex says quietly.

She sounds a bit nervous and slightly scared. Alex looks back up at the rest of us.

"Sorry," she apologizes and clears her throat. "Everyone this is Athena Rose Johnson Michalchuk-Nuñez."

No way! Dylan looks a little upset, but his feelings don't really matter right now. Paige and Alex are looking and smiling at me.

"Me?" I ask while pointing at myself. "You named her after me?"

"Well hon," Paige starts. "Alex and I knew we wanted to name our child after someone who means a lot to us."

"Also Athena is a beautiful name for a beautiful baby girl," Alex says while looking at her daughter.

"I see you decided to keep "Rose" going," Rose says.

Paige looks at her mom and smiles. "Of course," she says. "She needed a strong powerful middle name."

"And what about "Johnson"?" Brian asks

Alex looks up at Brian. "She's a Johnson and everyone should know it," she says.

I just feel so touched right now. I feel like I'm going to cry any second.

"Jordan, do you want to hold her?" Alex asks.

I can't even speak right now. All I can do is nod my head. I walk over to Alex, excited yet for some strange reason I also feel a tad bit nervous. I cradle my arms and Alex carefully places her daughter in my arms.

Whoa, I'm holding a newborn. The last time I held a newborn was when Major was born. Athena is so tiny and so beautiful.

"Hi," I whisper.

I don't even know what to say. It's amazing that I'm trying to figure out what to say to a newborn baby. Oh my God, she just opened her eyes, her big beautiful brown eyes. It looks like she's trying to look around, trying to figure out where she is.

"Paige, I think someone is trying to find her mommy," I tell Paige.

I carefully walk over to Paige and I place Athena in her arms. Paige's face instantly lights up as she looks down at Athena, who is looking back up at her. Paige looks at Alex and smiles.

"She has your eyes," Paige tells her.

Alex gets closer to the bed and peers down at Athena. A grin replaces Alex's bright smile.

"She does," Alex says. "She has your cute button nose."

"I wanna see her," Major says. "Actually I want to hold her." Major is looking at Palex. "Can I hold her?"

Paige looks at Alex with concern and questioning eyes.

"Well he's been practicing on how to hold a baby with baby dolls," Alex says. "And we have been 'training' him to hold a baby for months now."

"Ok," Paige says, while nodding her head. "Major, go ahead and climb up here."

Paige gives Athena to Alex and moves over to make room for Major on her bed. Brian picks up Major and helps him onto the bed. Major gets settled into the bed and sits Indian-style. Alex hands Athena to Paige.

"Alright Major, cradle your arms just like we've shown you," Alex says.

Major gets his arms ready. Brian is standing next to Major with his arms sort of around his body, I guess just in case something happens. Paige is slowly and carefully placing Athena in Major's arms.

"Be careful," Paige tells him. "Make sure to watch her head."

"Ok," Major says.

Major is now holding Athena and this has to be the cutest thing ever. Obviously I'm not the only one who thinks this because my mother gets out her camera and takes a picture.

"Wow," Major says. He sounds so amazed. "She's so tiny."

"Well son, most babies are tiny when they're just born," Brian tells him.

"She's beautiful," Major says. "She looks like Alex."

I look over at Alex, who's still wearing a huge grin on her face.

"Thanks Major," Alex says.

Major looks up at Paige. "You should give her a nickname," he tells her. "Nicknames are cool. I have a nickname and I'm cool."

Paige smiles. "Ok Major, what should Athena's nickname be?"

"AJ," Major answers quickly and proudly. He looks at everyone. "Her name is 'Athena' and she's named after Jordan which kind of makes her a junior. She looks just like Alex, A. And she's a Johnson. AJ."

Paige looks at Alex and Alex shrugs her shoulder and nods her head.

"If you're ok with it then so am I," Alex tells Paige.

Paige nods her head. "AJ it is then,' she says.

Major smiles proudly and looks down at AJ. "I'm going to be the best uncle ever," he says.

Dylan groans. "First I don't get to be the godparent, then she's not even named after me, and now I have to compete with a seven-year-old to be the best uncle," he says. "It just never ends."

Everyone laughs, including Dylan.

"I'm going to protect you no matter what AJ," Major tells her. "Johnson men protect the women in their lives."

Brian is nodding his head. "That's right," he says. "We do."

"Johnson family rule," I say and Major looks up at me.

"We protect our family no matter what,' Major and I say at the same time.

Major gently and slowly hands AJ back to Paige. Alex leans down and kisses AJ on her forehead.

"Welcome to the world AJ," Alex says.

World, I hope you're ready for Athena Rose Johnson Michalhcuk-Nuñez.
