The next picture was a picture of Sam, once again sitting on a hospital bed with Danny beside her with his left hand wrapped in a white cloth. Aiden sat beside Sam peering inside the lavender cloth where his new sister lay.

Flashback- - -
"Hey there Lily! I can't wait fwo you to come out. We're gonna have lots of fwun together." Aiden said as he listened to his mother's stomach. It was Aiden who had suggested naming his little sister Lilith, Lily for short, after his mother told him of how she and his uncle Tucker took care of a flower sack. Sam laughed and ruffled up Aiden's hair.
"You'll soon have your little sister two weeks. Sam said laughing slightly. Danny snorted.
"Yeah, that's what you said about Aiden over here." Danny said laughing. Sam laughed but suddenly, she felt something wet and warm run down her leg. Suddenly, and all too familiar sharp pain ran through her abdomen making her wince.
"What's wrong Sam?" Danny asked.
"Are vyu okay momma?" Aiden asked. Sam laughed nervously.
"Looks like you're going to have your little sister today sweetie." Sam said as calmly as she could. Danny's eyes widened before leaping up and rushing upstairs and getting Sam's overnight bag and his car keys.
"Let's go." Danny said as he carried Aiden in one arm and held Sam's bag with the other. They proceeded to the car, which thankfully functioned well, and drove to the hospital. Danny parked his car to the nearest parking before helping Sam down and grabbing Aiden as well as the bag. They proceeded inside the hospital.
"Uh… my wife's in labor… again." Danny said out of breath making Aiden laugh. The nurses once again placed Sam in a wheel chair and wheeled her inside the room and gave Danny a hospital gown and cap. Danny and Aiden waited in the waiting room. Danny called his and Sam's parent before calling Tucker and Valerie.
"Daddy, is momma gonna be okay?" Aiden asked worriedly making Danny smile.
"Yes, son. Momma's going to be okay. She's just going to have your little sister. Once Uncle Tucker comes, you stay here with them and play with Jayden here while waiting for daddy tell you to come in okay?" Danny said. Aiden nodded. Not a moment too soon, Tucker and a pregnant Valerie arrived with their son, Jayden. Jayden looked a lot like Tucker except for his eyes and hair which belonged to Valerie.
"I hear your gonna have your little sister?" Jayden said after giving Aiden a high five.
"Yeah. Isn't it cwool?" Aiden said grinning. Danny walked up to Tucker.
"Thanks so much for coming right away." Danny said as he and Tucker shook their secret handshake.
"No problem dude. Now go, your wife needs you." Tucker said smiling. Danny grinned before slipping the hospital gown and cap on before proceeding inside. When he got in, he saw Sam talking to Dr. Nea who was getting her materials ready.
"Ah, Danny, so good to see you again." Dr. Nea said grinning. Danny smiled and walked over to Sam's left side and holding her hand.
"Likewise, Doc." He replied grinning.
"I don't see a stain on your shirt. Did you manage to keep yourself intact this time?" Dr. Nea teased making the couple laugh.
"He managed to be calm all the while, Nea." Sam said laughing.
"That's good to know. Alright, I think you're ready. So, Sam, Danny, ready to have your daughter?" Dr. Nea asked as she spread Sam's legs apart.
"Ready as we'll ever be." Sam said.
"Okay. 1…2…3… push!" Sam did as she was told and pushed while clutching Danny's Left hand so hard he swear he'll have to get it wrapped again. After several pushes with which made Sam punch Danny in the stomach with, a cry was heard.
"Finally!" Sam said as she collapsed back on her pillow. Dr. Nea handed baby Lily to the nurses to get cleaned up before getting a white cloth before wrapping Danny's left hand. Soon, the nurse handed Lily, who was wrapped in a lavender cloth, to Sam's eagerly waiting arms before leaving the room with Dr. Nea. Lily opened her eyes to reveal icy blue orbs. She gurgled and smiled at her mother making her laugh.
"Look who has her daddy's eyes?" Sam said softly as she smiled at her daughter. Danny looked at his daughter more closely before smiling.
"She's a mini Sam." He said grinning goofily making Sam laugh. Soon Aiden and the rest of the party came in. Aiden stared at his parents before averting his eyes to the lavender bundle in Sam's arms.
"Is that my sister?" Aiden asked. Sam nodded and motioned for him to come. The 4 year old boy climbed up the bed and positioned himself beside his mother and peered inside the blanket. Baby Lily looked her brother curiously before reaching up to his face. Aiden caught her hand in his finger.
"Look momma, she's holding my hand." Aiden said happily. Sam smiled and nodded. Soon Maddie spoke up.
"May we hold Lily?" she asked. Sam nodded and handed Lily to Maddie. Aiden followed her because he wanted to make sure his sister would not be harmed.
"She has Danny's eyes, Jack." Maddie said. Jack smiled and stroked Lily's cheek as gently as he could.
"Be careful, grandpa." Aiden said because he knew his grandfather can be very clumsy sometimes. His grandparents laughed and ruffled his hair. Aiden grinned as he put his hands behind his back.
"Our turn, Madeline." Pamela said. Maddie rolled her eyes but handed Lily to them anyway. Aiden followed his sister.
"Careful, Grandma Manson." Aiden said making Danny smile at his protectiveness. Pamela nodded and looked at the baby in her arms.
"She looks a lot like you, Samantha." Pamela said making Jeremy nod in agreement.
"Mom, for the millionth time, its 'Sam'." Sam said rolling her eyes.
"Isn't she just precious?" Jeremy said as he brushed a little strand of hair away from Lily's face.
"Our turn! Our turn!" Jayden said. Tucker and Valerie laughed. Soon, Lily was in Tucker's arms.
"This is your sister?" Jayden asked as he peered inside the blanket Tucker had hold out to him.
"Yes, Jay. She has daddy's eyes." Aiden said while smiling.
"She looks like Auntie Sam too." Jayden said.
"I'm guessing Danny still didn't get a hold?" Tucker said as he approached Danny and handed Lily to him. Danny laughed and held Lily close to him. He smiled at her making her giggled.
"Aren't you a cutie?" Danny said while laughing a bit.
"She gets that form me." Sam says while grinning making Danny roll his eyes and turn his attention back to Lily.
"Don't worry Lily; I'll always protect you… I promise." Danny whispered before kissing his daughter's forehead and handing her back to Sam as Aiden climbed up the bed and sat beside his mother. Just then, Dr. Nea arrived.
"So, what are you going to name her?" Dr. Nea said softly.
"We all have a first name, and that's 'Lilith' we still couldn't think up of a middle name." Danny said.
"How about 'Carmela'?" Pamela suggested. Sam made a thinking face before shaking her head.
"'Alicia'?" Tucker said. Danny shook his head.
"Christine?" Maddie said.
"Amethyst…" Sam said quietly making Lily look up at her.
"What was that, Sam?" Danny asked.
"Amethyst… I like her name to be 'Amethyst'." Sam said while stroking Lily's face making her gurgle and snuggle closer to her mother.
"Amethyst… I like it." Danny said smiling.
"Then it's settled! Lilith Amethyst Fenton! We have another Fenton in the house!" Jack said excitedly making everyone in the room laugh.
"Come on let's take a picture." Maddie said. Aiden and Danny moved closer to Sam while she faced Lily to the camera.
"Smile!" Maddie said.
CLICK. FLASH. SNAP.
End Flashback- - -
When they took Lily home, Aiden never left her side. He was so very fond of his sister. He played with her every day while Danny and Sam had other things to attend to. Whenever Lily would cry, he would take the bottle from his mom, place Lily gently on his lap and feed her. Danny and Sam were very proud.
Danny smiled before proceeding to the next picture.
