Chapter 14- The End

"Charlotte, where are you?"

"I am coming, Trev."

Today was an extremely important day for the couple. Charlotte had just finished her last semester of law school and was going to graduate tomorrow. However, today was special for another reason. They were going to find out the sex of their baby.

Spinner and Emma had been apprehensive of their daughter getting married and settling down before she was finished with law school and working for a firm, but their daughter was determined to be with the man she loved. Trevor was a political reporter for the Toronto Sun, and Spinner and Emma knew he would be a perfect husband for their daughter. They got married after the first year of Charlotte's law school. Surprisingly, they found out she was pregnant soon after she started her last year, which was earlier than they had wanted to start a family.

Before Charlotte even told Trevor about the baby, she did contemplate all of her options. She knew how her mother felt about abortion, and if that was her final decision she would have to keep it from Emma in the end. However, the decision came after a conversation she had with her father, the night after she told Trevor about the baby. Trevor was supportive of her decision either way, because he knew how important starting a law career was to her. To help sort through her feelings, she called her father and confided in him the news and the dilemma.

"Honey, I know this is a hard decision for you. I want you to have everything you want in life; if that is career or starting a family. You can do both, though. It is a lot of work, but I know you are strong enough to handle it. You take after your grandmother, and she was the strongest woman I have ever known. Plus, you cannot always plan the way your life happens. Your mother and I are a prime example of that. We married each other before we even knew we were in love with each other."

"Dad, I just don't know if Trevor and I are ready to be parents yet.

"You came along before we even thought about having children. I do not regret having you when we did one bit. I give you all the credit for the last year of your grandmother's life. She fought to stay alive long enough to meet you. Even though she did not make it to see you grow up, there is no telling when she would have died had you not been her main motivation."

After all the input Charlotte received from her dad, she ultimately decided to keep the baby. Trevor even decided to stay at home once the baby was born, since his job allowed him the flexibility. That way Charlotte you focus on starting her career at a law firm once she passed the bar.

Trevor and Charlotte were excited once they learned the sex of the baby. They decided to wait until after the graduation ceremony to share the news with everyone.

"Mom and Dad, we want you to be the first to know that the baby's name is going to be Megan Irene."

Spinner and Emma were ecstatic that they were going to have a granddaughter. Spinner was impressed that they decide to name her after his mom.

"I had to name her after Grandma Irene. I have her to thank for my education and my career. It is the least I can do in return to the woman who gave me so much."
