A/N: Hey everyone, I'm really sorry for the long wait. I would have posted this a lot sooner, but my computer was struck by lightning and I had absolutely no way of posting anything. Thank you all for the wonderful reviews in the previous chapter. I loved them all. Now without further ado, here is the ninth and final chapter. Hope you all like it!
Disclaimer: Emma is mine, but everyone else isn't. And the song in this chapter is called "My Girl" and it is sung by "The Temptations."
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of may.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
Jack sang to Emma while his dad finished dressing her in the blue, red and yellow ruffled dress, along with the matching headband. He was so excited when he found out nearly two weeks ago that he had a sister. Aaron felt the same way when he had learned that he was the father of Emily's daughter. A few days after the paternity test results, the two adults decided to start a relationship with each other. So Emma and Emily moved into Jack and Aaron's apartment. And now today, the family of four was going to have their very first family portrait taken.
Emily soon entered the nursery, wearing a flowing knee length halter top dress with matching red open toed heel shoes. Her hair was windswept in curls. She finished off her look with a silver heart shaped locket with Jack and Emma's names engraved into it. And a silver bracelet with her name and Aaron's name engraved into it.
"Daddy! Look at Emily! She looks very pretty!" Jack beamed as he stared at Emily.
"Awe! Thank you Jack. You look very handsome." Emily smiled at Jack as he blushed a little.
Aaron, who was now holding Emma, agreed with his son about Emily looking pretty. And he and Jack didn't look so bad themselves either. They were each wearing matching black suits with a light blue tie and matching black shoes. Their hair was neatly combed. Emily approached Aaron and smiled at her daughter while saying, "And you look adorable." She then planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Hey what about me? How do I look?" Aaron jokingly whined.
"Eh... not bad, but Jack and Emma are so much cuter." Emily flashed a smile at her boyfriend.
A while later, the family was at a photography studio. They were all sitting on a white loveseat with a white plush carpet beneath their feet. Aaron sat on the end of the loveseat, while Jack sat between him and Emily. Emma was held by Emily. Jack, Aaron and Emily were all smiling, while Emma decided to take a nap during the picture.
"Should we wake up Emma?" Jack asked.
"No, I think we should let her sleep. She might cry if we wake her up." Aaron said.
"She stayed awake during the entire car ride here, but once we sit down and get ready to have our picture taken, that's when she decides to close her eyes." Emily let out a small laugh.
"Okay are you all ready? Look at the camera and smile." The photographer said as he snapped a picture of the happy family.
"How did my little sister look? Was she pretty?" Jack asked the photographer.
"She was absolutely adorable. I think she'd be a natural at this." The photographer smiled at Jack.
"Yeah, she would be. Emma's very smart."
Aaron and Emily just smiled as Jack talked to the photographer about how proud he was of his baby sister.
A few hours later, the family were driving home. Aaron was in the driver seat. Emily sat in the seat next to him, while Jack and Emma was safely secured in the backseat. After they had their picture taken, the family decided to go out for lunch and then spend the rest of the day at the park. Emma was now wide awake, but Jack was fast asleep with Emma's tiny hand wrapped around his finger.
"Looks like Jack is finally asleep." Aaron looked in the review mirror at his sleeping son and then smiled at Emily.
"I thought it was so adorable when he was so concerned about Emma looking pretty during the family portrait today." Emily smiled back.
"Yeah and that thing he did at the park when all those women kept coming up to take a peek at Emma. Telling them that need to wash their hands before they touched her because he didn't want her getting sick."
"Well at least we know he's very protective of her." Emily let out a small laugh.
"Just wait until she gets old enough to start dating boys. I think Jack's really going to go into protective mode during that time." Aaron laughed and then he quickly stopped and turned to Emily with a serious look on his face. "Wait a minute. I'm probably going to be the same way when she gets that age. Let's just hope she doesn't grow up too fast."
Emily just looked on ahead with a smile on her face.

And so that is the end of the story. Be honest, what did you all think about it. I can handle the truth. I'm not going to cry or get angry if you didn't like it. I'd like to thank you all for reading and reviewing for this story. That really meant a lot to me. Now if you'd all be kind enough to review just one last time, please. Thank you.
