A little bit sappy, but completely happy! I loved these two but their time has come to an end for me.

"You know I call godfather right?" Chris murmured as he rocked Aliyah in the same chair Lila had thought of her name.

"Huh, you do?" Allen said with a little smirk.

Lila elbowed him and shot him a look to which he raised his hands.

"I'm kidding. Down mam bear."

She rolled her eyes but took up his hand. He kissed her palm and rested his cheek on her knuckles.

"Knock knock!"

The three adults in the room looked up and Lila grinned as she saw Judy and Fred in the door way, Allen's children gathered around them.

"Can we come in?" Judy whispered.

"Yeah, just gotta be quiet," Allen replied softly.

Ajay, Avery, and Albey piled onto the floor and gazed up at Chris who gently turned Aliyah so everyone could see her small features.

"Oh my, look at that nose. Cute as a button," Judy cooed softly.

Lila leaned against Allen and fondly watched her family fawning over the newest addition. Someone tugged at her skirt and she looked down to find Anney staring up with a smile.

"Is that my sister?" she asked softly.

"It is. That's Aliyah," Lila replied, patting her lap for the smaller brunette to climb up.

She did and poked at Lila's stomach gently.

"She was the baby in your tummy?"

"Yep, she was. Good job Ann," Allen replied.

Anney said nothing in return but burrowed into Lila's arms. When she looked over the brown locks, Lila found Fred dancing slowly with Aliyah in his arms, still fast asleep.

"This kid will never want for anything," Chris said, earning a few snickers of laughter.

"True that," Lila murmured in reply.

She could see the love in his eyes and her heart clenched slightly. The DNA test had shown, no doubt, that Aliyah was Allen's daughter. Chris seemed to take it in stride and simply joked that he was too old for another baby anyway, but she knew deep down some part of him had to be hurting.

"Hey Chris, since you're god father, maybe you can help us pick godmother," Lila said.

His expression melted into one of adoration and he nodded.

"You got it kid."

It wasn't picture perfect, but it was her kind of perfect.
