"HOLY SHIT!" Leanne yelled, ducking to avoid a swift kick in the head from Kaylee.

"HA! Once again, the student has kicked the sensei's... uh, master's ass!" Kaylee giggled, dropping her fighting stance. After six months of non-stop training, Kaylee had improved and was close to unleashing her animal spirit. Dustin had unleashed his a few months before, but Kaylee was the one Master Mao wanted... needed.

"Congratulations, Kayl," Tori smiled. "I think you're ready."

"Really?" Kaylee's eyes widened as she looked over at her Master eagerly. "Really? Really, what do I have? A tiger? A cheetah? Jaguar? Lion?"

"Leopard," Leanne smiled. "Snow Leopard to be exact."

"Aww, my spirit's going to be a cutie pie!" Kaylee cooed. "Now... I fight leopard style."

"Kayl... we didn't base your spirit on your fighting skills," Leanne admitted. Kaylee glared at her, confused and a little ticked off.

"So I worked my ass off for nothing?" she asked.

"In these past six months, you've been put through hell. But you showed us all, that no matter what, you'll find a way. You kept going, even after you gave up. Sure you needed us to snap you back to reality, but you always did come back." Leanne smiled.

"So... that means?"

"You're strong, quick, and confidant. The main qualities of the leopard." Leanne explained.

"But, fighting wise, Leanne says..." Tori grabbed Leanne's clipboard and read off it. "Your trust your instincts to lead you to victory. And, no matter how close you came to losing, you never gave up. You kept pushing forward. You kept hoping and you always came out on top."

"Perseverance." Leanne smiled. She put a hand on Kaylee's shoulder. "You know what to do now."

Kaylee nodded, looking over at Dustin before smiling. "Call to the beast inside, bring out the Leopard!"

A green snow leopard emerged from her body, bouncing around the room. Kaylee giggled, watching it, before it jumped back inside her. For a few seconds, her body was glowing green as the leopard settled into its new home.

When his fiancée stopped glowing, Dustin ran up to her, hugging her tight.

"I did the math," Dustin whispered into her ear. "Today, you should have been in the hospital, giving birth to our daughter."

Kaylee pulled herself in closer, resting her head on Dustin's shoulder, smiling.

It had been nine months since Sammy was first with her.

Close to six months since she realised she had a daughter, Sammy's death and her funeral.

It had been five and a half months since Kaylee and Kira's concert.

It had been four months since Kaylee had moved on.

And it had been two months since Tori announced her own pregnancy. Kaylee had been both overjoyed and upset when her sister announced the miracle. She was happy to finally be an Aunt. There was going to be a little baby running around that would be able to call Kaylee Aunt. But at the same time, this child wouldn't be Sammy. It wasn't fair that Tori got her kid, while Kaylee's was ripped away before she even knew it existed.

"I wonder..." Dustin smiled, pulling away from Kaylee. "We're definitely going to have another kid, right?"

Kaylee nodded. "Duh."

"So... what do you think'll happen. Is it going to be painful, because of Sammy... or is it going to be the best moment in our lives?"

-----Earning-The-Leopard-----

"C'mon Kaylee, only a little more to go!" Dustin coached as he stood beside his wife, holding her hand.

"Shut... the... Zwop... up!" Kaylee yelled, squeezing his hand tighter. Dustin looked down at his white hand, knowing it would never be the same again.

"I love you too honey," Dustin said.

Suddenly, a loud cry was heard in the room. Dustin felt Kaylee let go of his hand as a baby rested in Leanne's arms.

"Congratulations," she smiled, putting the baby on Kaylee's chest. Kaylee gently put her hand on the baby's back, not caring that it was covered in blood and God-knows-what.

The doctor's next words shocked the new parents, "It's a girl."

When Kaylee and Dustin realised they were expecting, they decided not to know the sex of the baby. They were too afraid that knowing was going to somehow jinx the pregnancy. They were scared this was going to happen. They were scared they were going to have a girl.

"Her birthday is February 14th, 2010," Leanne announced. She knew the parents were fully aware of the date, but she wanted to make it official for them. "I'll just wash her up, and you can hold her again."

Kaylee nodded, letting the doctor take her daughter. She looked up at Dustin and kissed him.

"So, are you hurting?" she asked.

"She's never going to take Sammy's spot..." Dustin frowned, looking away from his wife. "She never could... and she never would..."

"Dustin... she's your daughter... you can't..."

"She's got her own spot, Kayl," Dustin smiled. "Right between you and Sammy."

Kaylee's smile went from one ear to the other as she put her hand on Dustin's chest, right by his heart.

"I love you, daddy," she whispered, kissing him again.

"I love you too, mommy," Dustin smiled.

Leanne came back with the little girl, wrapped in a pink baby blanket. She put her in her mother's arms and sat down beside the bed.

"What're you gonna name the little bugger?"

"Well... we didn't plan on it being a girl," Kaylee admitted. "We've been in denial."

"Obviously," Leanne laughed, looking down at the small girl. She noticed the pink blanket, and the pink streak in Kaylee's hair. "Umm... want me to get the blue blanket so she doesn't have to wear Sammy's colour?"

"Naw, it's fine," Dustin smiled, stealing his daughter from Kaylee. "Sammy is her older sister anyways."

"So, is it just baby girl for now?" Leanne asked.

"Lemme talk to the others," Kaylee smiled. "They might have a few ideas. After all, Tori must have thought of at least one girl name when she was pregnant with Mike."

"I'll bring her in then," Leanne said. She walked out of the room, realising the others had no idea they had a new niece. For all they knew, Kaylee was still pushing a baby out of her crotch.

"Oh, this is going to be fun," she smirked. "After two years of Tori and Kira rubbing their beautiful brats in my face... oh... they're going to regret the day they ever messed with Leanne Omino."

Making her way to the waiting room, Leanne forced a few tears from her eyes. She walked into the room, her lower lip quivering.

"So?" Tori asked, jumping up from her seat when she saw the red head coming from the door. Her face dropped when she saw Leanne was crying. "Leah..."

"What happened in there?" Kira asked, coming up beside Tori.

"Dustin's in there... he needs help," Leanne said.

"What. Happened?" Kira asked, putting her hand on Tori's shoulder and squeezing it gently.

"It's a girl!" Leanne smiled, throwing her hands in the air before running for her life, followed closely by Tori and Kira.

"I'm going to kick your ass so hard!" Tori yelled, chasing the doctor around the room.

"I didn't do anything!" Leanne called back, jumping over a chair and taking cover behind Cam. "All I said was Dustin needs help... picking a name for your new niece!"

Tori stopped in her tracks, forcing Kira to bump into her. The two looked around. They were the only ones in the waiting room at the time, so the no powers in public rule didn't apply.

Kira opened her mouth, causing Leanne to scream and duck behind Cam.

"You know Leah, you're lucky you're my niece's doctor," Tori smirked evilly, "because if you weren't, I would kill you here, and now!"

"Uh... I'll uh... take you to her room," Leanne said nervously. "Sorry Kira, only immediate family is allowed."

Kira nodded in understanding, sitting down beside Conner so she could wait for more news.

-----Earning-The-Leopard-----

"Knock knock," Tori smiled, opening the door and walking into the room.

"Who's there?" Kaylee asked.

"Aunt Tori."

"I'm sorry... who?" Kaylee teased. Tori frowned, but it quickly changed into a smile when she saw the baby in her sister's arms.

"I haven't seen something this cute since Michael was born," Tori cooed, gently taking the baby from Kaylee's arms and cradling her, "Hi sweetie."

"Tori, I told you, call me Dustin," Dustin laughed, playfully fixing his hair.

"So, Leanne told me you needed help with something," Tori asked, looking up from her niece for a second.

"Yeah... what were you going to call Mike if he were a girl?" Dustin asked.

"Um... Leanne lied to me," Tori smiled. "We knew he was a boy before we even thought of naming him."

Kaylee's eyebrows shot up as she gave a sister a look, "Tori, you're a girl; you couldn't have not thought of a girl name for a future baby as a kid."

"Well, I did always like Hayden," Tori smiled.

Kaylee and Dustin exchanged glances, smiling.

"Hayden Victoria Brooks?" Kaylee asked her husband. Dustin nodded.

"Like it's supposed to be."

-----Earning-The-Leopard-----

"Don't slam the... Conner..." Dustin groaned, as Conner winced when the door made a loud bang as it shut.

"Sorry, dude," Conner said. He noticed Hayden was sleeping in her carrier on the kitchen counter, beside Dustin. Apparently the noise didn't wake her. "Or not..."

"It's not her I'm worried about," Dustin sighed as another door slammed shut. "Hayden can sleep through a Lothor attack... it's...."

"THE HELL!"

"Kaylee..." Dustin sighed. "She just fell asleep. Dude, we're in for hell right now."

"Conner, you idiot! You don't slam a door when there's a mother and a two day old child in the house! You'd think you would know after having those goddamn twins of yours!"

Conner slowly backed away, knowing Kaylee was about ready to kill him. He felt his back hit the wall beside the door. Bringing his hands up to protect his face, he was saved when Kira walked into the room.

"Kayl, how are you feeling?" she asked, before seeing her husband cowering in a corner. "He slammed the door, didn't he?"

"Who, I don't see a door slammer. I see a dead idiot!" Kaylee frowned.

"Aww, you're just tired," Kira smiled, hugging the new mother. "Why don't you introduce me to princess poops a lot?"

Kaylee glared up at Conner, pointing at him. "You're lucky Kira came, or your head would have been turned into a beautiful decoration for my fireplace!"

Conner swallowed, hard, as Kaylee lead Kira to the kitchen and gently picked up Hayden, careful not to wake her.

"Kaylee, she's adorable!" Kira smiled, taking the girl from her friend's arms. "You weren't kidding when you said she was a cutie pie."

"Thanks," Kaylee beamed. A tear formed in her eyes when she saw Hayden was awake, and looking up at Kira. "Wanna be the godmother?"

"What?" Kira asked. "I thought Tori..."

"Tori and I talked... and, even if she's been my sister for like... ever... and even if she's done so much for me... she's already Sammy's unofficial godmother. So we both decided that you fit perfectly."

"I hate you so much right now," Kira said, hugging her friend, being careful not to squish the baby.

"Great way to start," Kaylee giggled.

"You made me do the one thing I swore I wouldn't do!" Kira frowned, wiping away a tear.

"Aww, I made you cry!"

"Just a little," Kira laughed.

"So, are you gonna take the job, or is Tori going for two for two?"

Kira frowned at her best friend. "Are you stupid?"

"Not all the time, but every once in a while the blonde hair..."

"DUH!" Kira laughed.

-----Earning-The-Leopard-----

"I think we're going to be okay," Kaylee smiled, looking up at her fiancé.

Author's Note: A little happy ending for you guys. Let me know what you thought of this little sub-season. Yes it's over, but I'm working on Jungle Fury. The first chapter for that should be up pretty soon.
