A/N: Final chapter of this story but there's going to be a sequel don't worry (: and just to be clear I've made Johnny and Jac's little girl Isobel-Kayla OK because well I can't do that to Janny!
Nine Months Later
A lot had changed in the nine months for the good, telling Eleanor was a breeze because not only was she thrilled about being a big sister; she was thrilled that her mum was pregnant. So thrilled she went and posted a video on her University webpage for a Christmas Video Diary. Serena and Edward announced on the Twenty-Fourth of December that they were expecting, as it was at St George's everyone was shocked.
"Congratulations," Elliot had walked over to her and gave her a hug, which Serena took much to everyone's surprise.
"We are to assume you are daddy?" George had joked which made Serena glare, "Joking, joking."
"Funny," Serena snapped, "Well it's true I am with child."
"Yeah we all knew before you guys," Michael had looked quite smug as he stood, with George and James, "We found out, before you, we found out before you."
"Technically I guessed before any of you," Johnny had said proudly.
"Not long now until baby Maconie," Sacha said grinning, "So decided on Isobel or Kayla yet?"
"Isobel-Kayla," Johnny corrected, "Yeah we decided on the name."
"No way Maconie," Michael argued, "I guessed before."
"No," James shook his head, "I guessed long before you…and before you ask how I guessed, a pregnant Serena is a human Serena."
"Yeah she actually cries," George added which made Serena nudge him in the ribs, "Ah."
"Don't nudge me," Serena put her hand up, "Anyway yes I am pregnant, yes I am going to be an emotional wreck, yes I will probably bite your heads off and then cry on you, but touch my Nutella you'll all be sorry."
Amelia walked over to Serena, they hadn't spoke since that argument about Edward not sticking around and suggesting Serena got rid of the baby, "Serena I just wanted to say…I'm sorry," Amelia was in tears, "I didn't mean what I said…It was horrible and I'm sorry," this was the first time Amelia had cried in ages.
Serena seeing Amelia almost as a daughter to her forgave her, "I know you didn't mean it…hug?" she raised an eyebrow.
Amelia hugged Serena happy that she had been forgiven, "You'll be a great mum again."
"How did your daughter take it?" Gemma asked.
"Very well," Edward laughed, "Practically announced it everywhere…even Adrienne she was shocked at first. She's come round."
"Yes I'm sure it has something to do with Elliot," Jac grinned, "Hey if they get married Elliot will be your brother-in-law," Jac said to Serena.
"We're just friends," Elliot said blushing, "We met up for coffee that's all."
"Of course," Mo and Johnny raised their eyebrows and spoke in unison, "Elliot Hope you dirty dog."
"Please can we avoid talking about that," Jac said and Serena nodded in agreement, "You can share my jars of Nutella. I have a load."
"We must've all been blind," Harry added bravely, "Because I noticed nothing."
"Just be happy it's him," Serena pointed to Edward, "Who got me pregnant and you didn't get my daughter pregnant."
"Sorry?!" Mary-Claire spat out her drink.
"What?!" James, George and Amelia all asked in unison shocked.
"Don't," Serena held her hands up, "In the wise words of my dad," she held a finger up for a unison speech.
"Auld Lang Syne," James, George, Edward, Amelia and Serena all said.
"Times long past," Serena translated as everyone apart from Johnny of course, looked confused.
"But that's a song," Gemma said.
"No," Arthur corrected, "Actually it was a poem written by the Scottish poet, Robert Burns. So technically it's not a song."
"Alright Sniffles sorry," Gemma joked.
"And just to clarify the song is usually sung at Christmas parties and New Years Eve," Johnny added, "Oh talking about Scottish people."
"Oh they're back aren't they?" Jac tilted her head back, knowing that when Johnny mentioned 'Scottish people' Gina and Imogen were back.
"Yes but," Johnny held his finger up, "I have important information," he slipped into coat pocket and pulled out a white envelope, "It's nothing bad but I think you'll be interested," Johnny handed it to Serena.
Inside the envelope was a sheet of a family tree, "As interesting as your family must be Nurse Maconie, but I don't get how this has anything to do with me." Serena went to give it back.
"No look," Johnny walked over and pointed to some names. Names that linked with Serena's dad's side.
"Is that? That's my auntie Eleanor, my uncle Andrew and my dad," Serena looked confused, then another list of names, before she read out the others, "Hugh Ryan Maconie and Christine Arabella Maconie nee MacDonald," Serena looked at Johnny, "You dad is my dad's second cousin?"
"Yep and the reason why we never knew each other is because, there was a massive argument between Duncan and my dad; so in theory we're cousins. Though that might be a good Christmas present for you," Johnny grinned which made Serena laugh, "Well don't look too pleased."
"I'm laughing," Serena found it unbelievable, "Merry Christmas."
"And of course congratulations to Serena and Edward," Michael lifted up his apple tizer glass and so did everyone else, "Now if you excuse me…I have three daughters and one son to see."
"Annalise agreed then?" Serena asked.
"Oh yes she did," Michael grinned, "So now Meena, Jas, Milly and Charlie are with me," Michael looked so happy, the smile on his face began to make both Jac and Serena emotional, "Oh jesus I'm outta here!"
"Merry Christmas Michael," Serena and Jac said together.
…
Eleanor was sat between her parents looking concerned, "One of you are dying aren't you?"
"What?" they asked together, "No…it's good news," Serena was smiling which made Eleanor even more worried.
"Don't worry it is good news," Edward squeezed his daughter's hand.
"Well tell me," Eleanor fidgeted, "Pleeeease."
"I'm…I'm…I'm pregnant," Serena said to Eleanor and expecting Eleanor to look upset or be annoyed, instead a grin grew across her face.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god," Eleanor squeeled, "Eeeeeek! I'm gonna be a sister! Oh yeah….woohoo," Eleanor jumped off the sofa and was glowing with happiness, "I have to tell Gabby, and then my Uni friends and, and, and," for a second Eleanor forgot how to breathe.
"Breathe Ellie," Edward reminded her, "Listen it doesn't mean that you're not any less special to us."
"Dad I'm eighteen not eight," Eleanor was so happy, "I've always wanted a sibling."
"Guess you're happy then?" Edward laughed.
"Estatic you have to granny!" Eleanor reminded them, "Else she'd be wondering where you got the baby from."
"Been done already," Serena said, "She was shocked but I think Elliot's made her think," Serena stood up, "You'll always be my special girl Ellie."
"I know, I know but I'm going to be a sister…oh I can move my stuff out of the spare room because obviously that's going to be the baby's room. I can put it in my room so it's all good."
"You've taken this well," Edward grinned.
"Duh I've always wanted to be a big sister ahhhh," Eleanor ran upstairs and phoned up Gabby practically shouting down the phone, "Yeah I know ahhh! I'm gonna be a big sister ahhh!"
"Chill Ellie," Gabby said laughing, "Bit of a shock though."
"Not for me I'm way happy, oh Gabby I'm so excited!"
"Hey you're lucky you didn't fall pregnant with that doctor's baby," Gabby joked.
"Funny!" Eleanor shouted jokingly, "Oh I gotta phone Ava speak in a bit."
…
"Well she took that well," Serena walked over to the Christmas tree, "Remember each year before it went wrong….we used to open a present before Christmas?" Serena looked at Edward who walked over to her.
"I do, I do," Edward leant over and grabbed a small present, "Open it ladies first."
Serena took the small package and undid the wrapping paper, inside was a black box a small one to be precise and when she opened it revealed a silver ring with a clear crystal stone, "Is this?" Serena looked at Edward, Eleanor had returned and was watching in the doorway, "Edward are you?" he took the box away and took the ring out.
"Serena will you," Edward swallowed, "Will you remarry me?"
Serena was stunned then out of nowhere came her answer, "Yes…I will," and with that the pair kissed under the tree whilst Eleanor watched happily, "It's a lovely ring."
"It was my mother's," Edward said sadly, Serena understood and Edward then put the ring on her finger, "Like I said the baby connects us all," Edward looked up to find Eleanor in the doorway, "And I mean us all."
"I can't wait," Eleanor said really excited, "That's so pretty," Eleanor observed the ring, "Eh heh," Eleanor laughed.
"What?" Serena asked.
"Whilst we're on the subject of romance and stuff…I met someone at Uni and urr I may have invited him in," Eleanor answered going red, "He's staying with a few friends here but well I wanted you to meet him…please don't be mad."
"Who is he?" Serena asked.
"Oh and urr I invited Serena here too," Eleanor added, "It's taken me ages to call her 'Serena' and not 'Mum."
"Where are they?" Serena asked and she sat back.
"Outside in the cold," Eleanor answered, "He's called Alasdair…he's lovely."
"Bring them in then before they catch the flu," Serena stood up and so did Edward, "Is he Scottish?"
"Yeah he's from Edinburgh and oh I'll bring them in," Eleanor walked to the door way, "Come in before you get ill."
"Oh it's freezing out there," Alasdair walked in rubbing his hands together he kissed Eleanor, on the cheek.
"Thanks," Serena walked in, "Wow nice house."
"You do realise how confusing it's going to be?" Alasdair said, "Two women called Serena."
"Not my fault my mum was going to call me Kelly but decided on Serena," Serena explained and Alasdair rolled his eyes, "Don't you dare roll your eyes at me Alasdair."
"Not my fault your mum decided against Kelly…anyway it's a lovely name," Alasdair said.
"Not enough Serena's in the world," the older Serena walked through, "So you're the one who my daughter's been struggling to call Serena."
"Yeah but I don't mind her calling me Mum I'm in my twenties so I'm like the mum anyway," Younger Serena explained.
"We can make things less confusing," Alasdair suggested, "Call Ellie's mum Serena and you Rena."
"Don't call me Rena!" Younger Serena hit Alasdair on the head.
"Edward nice to meet you," Edward held out his hand for Alasdair to take, "I think we're going to get on very well."
"These two argue all the time nothing out of the ordinary," Eleanor explained which made the family laugh.
…
Fin
Now it was September Fifteenth Two-Thousand-And-Fourteen and baby Kyla Arabella Campbell was born at seven pounds and five ounces. And in April Serena and Edward remarried with Eleanor and Amelia as bridesmaids.
"Ten little fingers and ten little toes," Adrienne said holding the tiny baby in her arms, "Perfect, just perfect."
"Didn't think I was going to make it down to Maternity," Serena laughed, "She was coming pretty quick."
"Yeah well you've got a good pain threshold," Edward kissed Serena on the head, they jumped when cries filled the room.
"Somebody wants there mummy," Adrienne gave Kyla back to Serena, "There you go."
"Hey," Serena looked down at the baby in her arms, "Shh, shh, shh."
"What made you think of the name Kyla?" Adrienne asked curiously.
"Well," Serena sat up a little sore holding Kyla in her arms, "The name just came to me."
"Well I think it's a beautiful name," Adrienne said, "Like Edward said very quick."
"Which is good," Serena laughed lightly Kyla was asleep again, "When did Eleanor say she'd be here?" Serena asked in a whisper.
"Got a text now five minutes," Edward answered, "Can I?"
"Careful," Serena handed Kyla to Edward and he held her gently, "Try not to wake her."
Kyla stayed asleep still wrapped in the pink blanket, "Any news on how Jac and Johnny's little girl is doing?" Edward asked.
"Yeah she's doing OK," Serena answered and Edward put Kyla back into the plastic cot, she made squirmed a bit but carried on sleeping, "She's quiet."
"Wait until she's hungry," Edward joked he allowed Kyla to grasp his little finger with her tiny, tiny hand. Eleanor walked in quietly, "Hey," Edward gave Eleanor a hug.
"It's so noisy outside," Eleanor whispered sensing everyone needed to be quiet, "So what's she called?"
"Kyla Arabella," Serena answered and Eleanor walked over she pulled her hair to one side, so it wouldn't wake up baby Kyla.
"Pretty name," Eleanor smiled down at her baby sister, "Hey I'm your big sister."
"James, Amelia and George will come visit soon they want to give us some, family time." Edward smiled, "She's going to have your hair," Edward said to Serena, "Look how dark it is."
"Do you think mum's eyes as well?" Eleanor asked.
"Possibly," Edward shrugged, "When she's awake you can hold her," Edward said to Eleanor.
"I can't I'll drop her," Eleanor as much as she loved her baby sister, she was terrified of dropping her.
"No you won't it's easy to hold a baby," Edward gave Eleanor a hug, "Don't worry about dropping her."
"When she wakes up," Eleanor smiled, "Oh I got this it's just a little something," Eleanor held up a soft pink teddy bear, "It's probably not as good as others have got but-"
"It's special because it's from you," Edward poked Eleanor's nose, "Anything you give her will be special."
"I hope so," Eleanor sighed, "Oh that reminds me…can I take photo please and put onto my Facebook page?"
"Just don't put the flash on your phone," Serena whispered, "Yes you can."
Eleanor put her phone sounds on silent and took the flash off, and photographed Kyla then she posted on her timeline the photo and wrote in the caption: My baby sister Kyla! Beautiful xx Immediately Ava, Gabby, Alasdair and Serena liked it along with other old Sixth Form friends and other Uni mates, "Wow twenty likes already."
The family of four spent time talking and watched over Kyla who woke up twice, "Here," Edward gently passed Kyla to Eleanor.
"Hello," Eleanor said to Kyla who grasped her tiny hand around Eleanor's finger, "Aww so cute. Oh are you going to get the Pampers so you can donate money to the newborn tetanus?"
"All of it's covered," Serena said to Eleanor, "Stop clucking it's all sorted."
"I can't wait until I have kids," Eleanor said which made Serena, Edward and Adrienne frown, "What?
"Don't get broody just yet misses," Serena said sternly to Eleanor, "Hope you and Alasdair are careful."
"Mum," Eleanor whispered so she wouldn't startle her sister, "Personal."
"Rest assured if anyone gets you pregnant you saw what I done to Doctor Tressler," Edward frowned which made Eleanor laugh startling Kyla, "Here."
"Sorry," Eleanor gave crying Kyla to Edward but decided it was best Serena took care of this, "Sorry."
"Don't be," Serena tried to soothe Kyla, "You didn't do anything wrong. She's probably hungry too."
"Ohhh," Eleanor dragged out the word, "But still I didn't mean to startle her."
"Stop worrying," Edward said to Eleanor and he gave her a hug, "You're going to be a great big sister."
The family took turns with Kyla Serena done the feeds, Edward took care of nappy changes and Eleanor seemed to have a magic touch of putting Kyla to sleep, "I still get tormented for sleeping with Harry…it hate it."
"Tell them to F Off," Serena advised, "That's what I'd do."
"You still must be full of gas and air you never swear at anyone unless, you're really annoyed." Eleanor joked.
"Where you going?" Edward asked Serena who was getting out of bed.
"For a pee if that's OK with you?" Serena rolled her eyes and walked to the bathroom. When she returned Kyla was back asleep and it was quiet again, "Make the most of this," Serena said to both Edward and Eleanor.
"Doesn't affect me I'm going off to be a Psychiatrist I don't have time to be at home," Eleanor explained.
"Wow and there was me thinking you'd change your mind and go down the anaesthetics field," Edward ruffled Eleanor's hair.
"What messing around with sleeping gas? Oh yes fun, fun, fun," Eleanor knew that it wasn't all that, but it was fun to wind her dad up with that stereotype, "Hey what you think about that Kyla? A psychiatrist for a big sister?"
"She's thinking: No, no, no I don't someone interrupting my thoughts," Serena joked, "No she'll be proud."
"Kyla Arabella Campbell welcome to what is called earth…it's a big world and life has it's ups and downs but, you're going to be loved so much and because I'm going to be more like the distant auntie I'll bring you back lots of stuff from my travels," Eleanor said down to Kyla, "Just don't argue with mummy she can be scary."
Kyla was going to be loved so much by her parents, sister, grandmother, and if they knew the hospital staff and if Isobel-Kayla was strong enough by the time school started, they would be six months apart but two different school years. Though rest assured Serena and Edward were determined to give Kyla a better upbringing they couldn't change what they had done with Eleanor; and that was a guilt they will live with forever but Kyla was a gift sent from above a chance to rebuild what they lost.
