A/N: So this is the last instalment of this fic and with is we welcome a new addition to the Gibbs family. I hope you enjoy it! Oh, Sammy isn't completely full term, I decided that it would be best for her to have the baby early because she's such a small person, and I was thinking the body usually knows best so if it felt that she should go into labour at 37 weeks then that's what would happen, and that's what did. I think that's everything, if you have any questions or want to know more back story message me! Well with that said once again, Enjoy!

oOoOoOo

Baby on the way

oOoOoOo

Sammy was laying in bed, awake, even though it was late and she should be sleeping. She had woken up feeling weird and something was nagging her in the back of her mind, making it impossible to fall back asleep. She finally decided to get up and walk around a bit, hoping it would help. When the ache in her back didn't ease up after a couple minutes she decided she wasn't going back to sleep for a while and that it was best to get settled where she wouldn't wake Gibbs up. She pulled a blanket from the hall closet and headed down to the couch. She curled up with the blanket and turned to TV on.

oOoOoOo

Gibbs woke up and rolled over to pull Sammy close only to fine her spot empty. He rolled back over and was about to fall asleep again when his brain finally put two and two together. He sat straight up and took a second to listen and heard the TV on. He let go of the breath he didn't know he was holding and swung his feet over the edge of the bed then headed down to the living room.

"Honey," He said softly, "Are you alright?"

"Huh?" Sammy asked, not expecting him to be up, "Sorry I didn't mean to wake you up, I'm alright really."

"You didn't wake me up," Gibbs said softly as he sat down beside her on the couch, "Why aren't you asleep?"

"My back is really sore and I have this funny feeling something is going to happen," Sammy said with a yawn.

"You think the baby's coming?" Gibbs asked, starting to get a little excited.

"Maybe, but not yet," Sammy said, leaning against Gibbs.

Gibbs started gently rubbing Sammy's lower back and Sammy started to doze on his shoulder.

"Honey," Gibbs whispered as not to startle her, "Maybe we should go back to bed."

"Alright," Sammy said, deciding the bed would be more comfortable, if she could get comfortable.

Once Sammy had sat up Gibbs got up then helped Sammy up before they headed for their bedroom. So soon as Sammy had settled herself in bed Gibbs encircled her in his arms and started rubbing her lower back like he had before. Sammy managed to get comfortable enough to fall asleep. Gibbs didn't fall asleep as easily, he lied awake for some time just thinking and worrying like he usually did.

oOoOoOo

Gibbs was woken up hours later but the bed shifting. He rolled over to see Sammy sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Sammy, Honey, are you alright?" Gibbs asked as he sat up.

"Yeah," Sammy breathed through gritted teeth, "Just give me a second."

Gibbs crawled over and sat behind her on the bed waiting until she turned to him.

"I think we need to go in," Sammy said quietly, "That's the 5th contraction I've had, and they've been consistently 5 minutes apart. But my water hasn't broken yet so we do have a little time."

"Alright," Gibbs said, sliding off the bed and grabbing Sammy's sweater from where she had left it on the dresser.

He helped her into it then pulled his blue USMC hoodie on and grabbed the bag they had packed for the hospital.

"I need to go pee before we leave," Sammy said once Gibbs had pulled her to her feet.

"Ok, I'll wait for you here," Gibbs said, kissing Sammy's forehead before sitting down on the bed.

Sammy shuffled off to the washroom and sat down on the toilet. Out of nowhere there was a huge gush of water followed by a rather painful contraction. When it subsided Sammy finished up and headed to the bedroom where Gibbs was waiting for her.

"My water broke," Sammy said when Gibbs stood up to meet her at the door.

"We should get going then," Gibbs said, wrapping an arm around Sammy's waist and steering her to the stairs.

When they got to the front door they both slipped on shoes then they were off.

oOoOoOo

Sammy was sitting in the passenger seat, trying to focus on her breathing as another contraction hit her when she realized she hadn't called Declan.

"Gibbs, Where's your phone?" Sammy asked, anxiously.

"My pocket," Gibbs said, resisting the urge to look over at her instead of keeping his eyes on the road, "Why? What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong," Sammy said reassuringly, "I just forgot to call Declan. I told her I would when this happened."

"Alright," Gibbs said, handing over his phone.

Sammy took it and inhaled sharply as another contraction hit her, when it subsided she dialled Declan's cell number and waited till she answered.

"Hello," Declan said, not bothering to look at the caller ID before she answered.

"Hey Declan, It's Sammy," Sammy said before holding her breath through another contraction.

"Sammy, are you alright? What's happening?" Declan asked when the other line went quiet, "It the baby on her way?"

"Sorry, contraction," Sammy said before answering Declan's question, "Yeah the baby's on her way, we're heading to the hospital now."

"Alright, I'll meet you there," Declan said and Sammy could her shuffling on the other side.

"It's alright, you stay there," Sammy said softly, "I don't think it'll be very exciting, I'll make sure I call you when she's here though, Promise."

"Alright," Declan said and Sammy heard the creak of a rocking chair as she sat down, "Promise you'll call?"

"Yes, promise," Sammy said sincerely, "As soon as there's another addition to the Gibbs family you'll be the first to know."

"Alright," Declan said, "You make sure you call me if you need anything!"

"I will, don't worry," Sammy said, "I gotta go now though, we're pulling into the parking lot."

"Alright, don't forget to call," Declan said, making sure to get it stuck in Sammy's head.

"I won't, promise," And with that said Sammy hung up.

oOoOoOo

45 minutes later Sammy was laying on a bed in the maternity ward, set up with the whole 9 yards, iv, heart monitor around her belly, hospital gown and all. She had been told she was only 3 cm but that her labour seemed to be progressing, though she was still assured it would be awhile before she got to meet her baby.

She rolled onto her side with a hiss as another contraction hit her.

"Ow," She whined when the contraction subsided.

Gibbs sat on the side of Sammy's bed and started gently rubbing her lower back.

"How are you holding up?" Gibbs asked softly.

"Fine," Sammy said between deep breathes.

"You're sure?" Gibbs asked, not liking seeing her in pain.

"For now, yeah," Sammy said with a nod.

"Alright," Gibbs said, content in trusting her judgement.

He continued rubbing her back until she asked him to get her some ice chips. When he came back he started feeding them to her slowly as she asked for them.

oOoOoOo

Sammy had been set up with epidural a few hours later and got an hour or so of sleep before everything suddenly sped up. Most of it came in flashes, the doctor coming in and checking her, telling her she was ready to have the baby. They set her up then one minute she was pushing and the next they were laying a little baby girl on her chest.

The doctor rubbed the baby's back and all of a sudden she started crying. Sammy got a minute to admire her before the doctors took her to clean her up. While the baby was getting cleaned up and weighed and measure and such they cleaned Sammy up.

15 minutes later Sammy was resting in bed after being cleaned up and getting comfortable again and was handed a little girl, a little purple toque pulled over her little head and a purple blanket wrapped tightly around her.

Gibbs leaned over with a smile and pulled Sammy close as he stared lovingly into the little pair of crystal blue eyes staring up at him.

"She's perfect," Sammy breathed, a huge smile spread across her face.

"She definitely is," Gibbs said, placing a kiss on Sammy's forehead.

They stayed like that just admiring the new addition to their family for what seemed like ages until a nurse, who had stepped out to give them some privacy, stepped back into the room, holding a certificate.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but if you are ready we need to file out her birth certificate," She said softly.

Sammy looked up at Gibbs until he nodded giving her the go ahead before she answered.

"We are," Sam said with a smile.

"Alright, do you have a name picked out?" The nurse asked as she placed the certificate on the table that had been pushed aside during the commotion.

"Amelia Marie," Sammy said, smiling down as the baby in her arms.

"That's beautiful," the nurse said as she carefully wrote it down, "her last name will be Gibbs?"

"Yes," Sammy said, still paying more attention to the baby in her arms than the nurse.

"Alright, did they tell you her weight and height?" The nurse asked once she had finished filling in the certificate.

"No," Sammy said, looking up curiously, "I'd like to know though."

"She was 6 lb. 3 oz. And 19 inches long," The nurse said with a smile.

oOoOoOo

Once everything had settled down and Sammy got a second to just relax with the baby she reached for her own cell phone, which had at some point or another ended up on the nightstand beside the bed. She dialled Declan's cell again and waited patiently for Declan to answer.

"Sammy, is everything alright?" Declan asked when she answered the phone.

"Yeah, everything's fine," Sammy said softly, "I promised I'd called when the baby was finally here and she is so I called."

"Everything's alright with her?" Declan asked, still not fully believing everything was fine.

"Yes, Amelia Marie Gibbs is perfect," Sammy said, half to Declan and half to the little baby in her arms, "All ten fingers and all ten toes and the clearest blue eyes I've ever seen, and she's got my hair, just a little of it but enough that you can see it's red."

"She sounds beautiful," Declan said, the smile that spread across her face evident in her voice.

"She is," Sammy said, "She's small but she's absolutely perfect."

"How big is she?" Declan asked curiously.

"Six pounds 3 ounces," Sammy said, softly, "and 19 inches long."

"That's the perfect size," Declan said softly, "I should let you sleep though."

"Yeah, that's a good idea," Sammy said with a little yawn as the baby started to fuss ever so slightly, "But you should come visit tomorrow."

"Sounds good," Declan said, the smile in her voice again, "Not get some rest."

"Alright," Sammy said with another yawn and hung up the phone.

oOoOoOo

Hours later after nursing Amelia, who they had started affectionately calling Mia, Sammy had finally succumb to exhaustion and fallen asleep leaving Gibbs to bond with his now sleeping daughter. He had forgotten what it was like to hold someone so small and love them so much and know they were yours. He sat gently rocking her and just admiring her and reflecting on his life and how much of a difference Sammy had made in it. He was ready for this now, he was sure of that the minute he looked into the tiny pair of crystal blue eyes of his daughter. He was definitely in ready for this and he wouldn't change it for the world.

oOoOoOo

The End.
