Author's Note: The idea for this came to me after Catherine Bell announced she was pregnant yesterday. A Denise and Frank baby would be amazing. I hop they write it in.

After Jeremy died, Denise never expected this to happen. She and Frank are mourning their son and have a new baby.

Lucia– Their surprise baby – is asleep in her bassinet. She's a pretty good baby.

Both Denise and Frank are sad that Jeremy never got to meet his little sister. He would have adored her. Frank spoils Lucia rotten, but Denise knows that Jeremy would have been right there with him.

She misses her son, but doesn't regret her daughter's birth.

It still hurts, but Lucia helps Frank and Denise deal with their grief.

The Sherwoods won't be torn apart.
