Final Chapter

"I think I got it.' Maria said softly and Danny rotates his head to look at her. She had a case file balanced on her stomach, her feet propped up on the chair nearby as she stared at him over the top of the desks. It's late, they're the last ones here, finishing up the last of their cases before calling it a night. She smiles as she stares over at him.

"Got what?"

"Her name..."

"Okay…' he says as he holds her eyes. 'Let me hear this one."

"Hanna Teresa Reagan…' She said softly, watching as he weighs it before the slow smile spread over his face.

"I like it."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I do."

"Can't believe we only got 2 weeks left." She said as she ran a hand over her stomach, trying to sooth the restless little girl with in.

"Could be sooner.' Danny says,

"I know… I know.' She closed the case. 'I'm done."

"Me too, let's get you home..."

Dooley shook his head as he stepped in and found 3 piles on his desk. They were on a mission to close as many of their cases before they had to hand them off. It made them a dangerous team, and a danger to his desk.

"How did they close 3 cases in one night?" Sanders voice as he stared at the board.

"I don't know… there is a reason they have the highest close rate."

"But three? That's just not possible."

"Obviously it is." Dooley says as he signs off on the case files and removes the names from the board. Glancing up as they strolled in, Maria on the phone. Rattling something off quickly.

"Hey yeah. No… that's great. Thank you."

"DNA confirmed Santos. Uniforms are picking him up now." Danny says as he walked by,

"Also Hanks is coming by for another interview. We got the financials back last night."

"Okay. And Okay."

He sighs as Danny drops another 3 files on his desk and Maria follows it up with 2 more of her own. "You two could stop anytime now."

"We don't know how." Danny says, "We're gonna go rattle a few cages tomorrow before coming into the office."

"Sure." Dooley says, "When is she having that baby and you two are gonna stop this nonsense?"

"Only have 4 more open cases." Maria offers as an olive branch.

"Thank god."

The problem was they ran through them like they were on fire and by the end of the week they were officially closed and arrests made and were looking around for more ways to 'help'.

"Go home. Officially. Go home. Offset some comp time. Rest before the baby gets here." Dooley says, demands, from the end of their desk.

"Fine. Fine." Danny says as he stands, watching as Maria does as well. "See if we help you again."

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah."

"WE WANT PICTURES!" Is hollered at their back and Danny waves them off.

"Danny…' she reaches back, slamming her hand against his stomach. 'Wake up."

"What?' he blinks awake, watching as her head bends forward and she blows out a slow breathe. "Go time?"

"4 minutes and 30 seconds."

"Alright go time… why didn't you wake me up?"

"Only been awake about 20 minutes… thought it was another false alarm."

"Alright…' he is up, tugging on his clothes quickly. "BOYS! Go time!"

Danny settles behind her on the bed, feeling her hands shaking as she holds his pants and huffs her breathes between her teeth. "Almost there Maria…'

"This sucks…"

"I know." Danny whispers, letting his hands rub along her sides, "You're doing great… so good."

"I'm never doing this again. I know we talked about it but this sucks Danny."

"Okay,' he says as he presses a kiss against her cheek, 'just breathe with me."

It's still another hour before she is able to push their daughter into the world, screaming her discontent at the transition and Danny is crying with them both as they set her squirming and crying body on Maria's chest. "Hi Hanna…' Maria whispers and Danny watches as the baby blinks, settling and he can't help smiling as they stare at each other. 'Welcome."

"She's looks just like you…' Danny whispers and she smiles, 'look at those eyes."

They take her, get her weighed and dressed and wrapped in a blanket before handing her to Danny. Maria smiling as he cradles her against his chest. Talking to her softly, whispering promises she can't hear. His entire focus on that tiny little girl in his arms.

"You got some family out here… you ready for them to come in?" The nurse asks softly,

"Please." Danny says as he moves over to Maria, carefully passing her the baby, watching as she adjusts her before tapping the bed beside her. He eases beside her, watching as she gives him a smile and shaking her head.

The boys are through first, then her mom. Slowly until everyone is in the room.

"6 pounds. 7 ounces. 20 inches long. Pretty baby girl." Danny says softly, "Everyone."

"Meet Hanna Teresa Reagan."

Maria smiles as Frank steps forward and she carefully hands the baby to him. Watching as he stares down at the newborn. "Hanna… welcome to the family."
