Well, here it finally is: the very last chapter! I know I probably could have continued this story a lot longer, but I decided to end it here anyway. Maybe I'll do a sequel some time as I really enjoyed writing this, but then again: I always enjoy writing Greg / Morgan stories! ;)
I'd also like to thank each and every one of you who has written a review for this story, followed it or added it to his / her favorite stories. That really means a lot to me, thank you all so much!
And as always: I hope you'll like this chapter, enjoy! :)

"Congratulations," doctor Martins smiled. "It's a girl!"

She took the crying baby girl with her to clean her up, but after that Morgan could finally hold her daughter for the very first time. With tears in her eyes she looked from the little girl in her arms to Greg. "She's so beautiful…"

Greg was too overwhelmed to say something. Their daughter… This little baby in Morgan's arms really was their daughter! In his eyes she was perfect, with ten little toes and ten little fingers. On her head, he saw little blond downy hair and when she opened her eyes, he heard Morgan whisper: "She has your eyes, Greg…"

Everything else about the little girl reminded him of Morgan, but the baby indeed had his brown eyes.

"I can't believe this really is our daughter," Morgan whispered. "Just look at her!"

Greg softly stroked her back and kissed her temple. "You carried her for nine months… She's the one you felt kicking, who woke you up at night… and who made you want apple pie!"

Still looking at their baby girl, Morgan smiled while she thought about those nine months that suddenly seemed to have passed so quickly. She remembered her first doctor's appointment, telling Greg and then telling everyone else, her mood swings, the baby's first kick, her cravings…

"It was all worth it," she whispered to Greg. "She's really so beautiful!"

Greg stroked her back again. "I'm really proud of you, sweetie, for everything! You did amazing!"

"Absolutely," doctor Martins agreed. She smiled at Morgan and Greg. "Now, have you thought of a name yet for your girl?"

Morgan looked at Greg, a smile on her face. "Yes, actually we have…"

A few hours later, when Morgan had recovered a little, she and the baby were brought to a private room. After the little girl had had her first feeding, she peacefully fell asleep. Smiling, Morgan watched her sleep.

"I still can't get over how beautiful she is!" she said to Greg. He smiled at her. "Of course she's beautiful, she looks like you!"

He thought the shy blush on her cheeks made her even more beautiful, but he didn't get the chance to tell her as the first visitors wanted to come and see their daughter. Morgan's eyes grew bigger when she saw who the visitors were. "Mom! Hank! How did you get here so quickly?"

Happily, she let her Mom and stepdad hug her.

"Congratulations to you too, of course," Morgan's Mom said to Greg. "Now, where's my granddaughter?"

As she looked at the sleeping baby, Greg noticed Ecklie standing in the doorway, looking very uncomfortable. He touched Morgan's arm to get her attention and pointed to the door.

"Dad!" Morgan happily called out. Encouraged by the happy sound in her voice, Ecklie entered the room.

"Your parents are here as well," he told Greg.

"Really?" Greg left Morgan with her parents and stepdad for a moment to find his own parents. They were just as enthusiastic as Ecklie, Morgan's Mom and stepdad and for a while, all Greg and Morgan heard was: "Oh, she's beautiful!"

"What's her name?" Greg's Mom then asked.

"Well, actually…" Morgan started, but she was interrupted by a voice coming from just outside her room. She and Greg both smiled as they recognized the voice: "I flew all the way out here just to see that baby and now you're telling me I can't go in there? Do you have any idea who you're talking to? I work for the FBI!"

"Now I know where Lindsey got it from," Ecklie softly said to Morgan and Greg, which made both of them laugh.

"What's going on?" Greg's Dad asked.

"You'll see," Greg grinned. Only a moment later Catherine walked into the room, a satisfied smile on her face. "Hey, guys…"

"Hi, Catherine," Morgan smiled as the ex-CSI hugged her. "You sure got here fast!"

"Of course, I told you I didn't want to miss this?" Catherine grinned. She hugged Greg as well and kissed him on the cheek. "How are you doing, Dad? Ready to show me your daughter?"

Smiling proudly, Greg took her over to the baby's crib on the other side of Morgan's bed. He thought he saw tears appear in Catherine's eyes when she saw the little girl. "She's beautiful, guys, she really is! And this is your baby… I still almost can't believe it!"

"Well, hopefully you'll believe it soon, because there's something we want to tell you," Greg said to her. He sat down next to Morgan on the bed and took her hand while he smiled at her. "Just before you entered, my Mom asked us what her name is. Well, Morgan and I have decided that she should also be named after someone who means incredibly much to both to us! So, I'd like to introduce you to… Rose Catherine Brody-Sanders."

This time he was sure he saw tears in Catherine's eyes.

"You named her after me?" she whispered. "That is… the sweetest thing anyone has ever done!"

"Like Greg said: you mean so much to both of us," Morgan said, smiling at Catherine. "He's known you a lot longer than I have, but those few months I got to spend with you here in Vegas were enough for me to realize you always need to be part of our lives…"

"Oh, you guys, I'm really gonna cry now!" Laughing through her tears, Catherine hugged both of them.

"Just promise us one thing," Greg then seriously said.

"Anything, just say it!"

"Promise us you won't be mad at your own daughter anymore. She really wants to help us, please let her!"

Without hesitation Catherine nodded. "I'll talk to her and we'll work it out, I promise. Maybe having her live here in Vegas with you guys will be an extra excuse for me to come and visit you whenever I can!"

Since things were getting a little too busy for Morgan and Rose now, Catherine decided to go and find Lindsey and Ecklie suggested he'd buy Greg's parents, Morgan's Mom and her stepdad a cup of coffee in the cafeteria downstairs. Greg stayed with Morgan of course and watched her and Rose sleep. For two hours, all he could do was smile, feeling like the luckiest man on earth. He thought back to that moment when he and Morgan had first met. How he had tried to flirt with her and how Nick had told him to 'not even think about it!' And now he was watching her sleep after she had given birth to their daughter only hours ago… Suddenly he wondered if Nick could still remember what he had said back then.

When Morgan woke up again, Rose immediately woke up as well and started crying because she was hungry. Just like the first time, a nurse came to help Morgan, but after the feeding she said: "Next time you can try it alone, because you're doing great! If I didn't know better, I'd say this wasn't your first child! Or did you lie to me?"

"No, she really is our first," Morgan grinned, happy with the compliment. She gently put Rose back in her crib and watched her fall asleep. The nurse left their room, nearly bumping into Sara on her way out. She smiled at them. "Ready for some company?"

Greg smiled at her to let her know they were ready. She walked up to him and hugged him tightly. "I'm so proud of you! Daddy Greg…"

Shyly, Greg grinned.

"Congratulations to you too, Morgan," Sara said, walking over to the bed to give Morgan a hug as well. "And I heard you named your daughter after Catherine, how sweet!"

"I hope you're not jealous and that you're okay with just being 'Aunt Sara'," Greg hesitantly said. Sara gave him another hug. "I love being 'Aunt Sara'!"

After Sara, the rest of the team came in one by one to congratulate them and see Rose. They were all touched when they saw the little girl sleep, even Nick, who usually pretended to be the toughest one on the team. Hodges was thrilled of course that his prediction had come true, which made Morgan say: "Why are you so happy to be right if you already knew you were going to be right? You had a sixth sense, remember?"

"Well, eh, sometimes my sixth sense can be a little off," he admitted.

"Just say you guessed!" Greg said with a grin. "It doesn't matter anyway, you already won the bet!"

"Well, about that bet… Of course there were a few others without a sixth sense who said the baby was going to be a girl, but I still won a nice amount of money… something I of course don't really need with my incredible paycheck," Hodges confessed. Greg just rolled his eyes.

"So, I actually wanted to use the money to buy something for you two and the baby what you really need," Hodges continued. "Just tell me what it is and I'll use the money to buy it for you. That way you can benefit from the bet a little as well…"

"Hodges, that's so sweet!" Morgan said. "Thank you!"

Hodges shrugged his shoulders a little. "No problem… You can think about it, of course, just tell me when you've thought of something."

"We will," Greg promised him. "And I have to agree with Morgan: this is really sweet of you. Thanks."

"Sure," Hodges nodded, putting his hands in his pockets, obviously feeling uncomfortable. Morgan smiled at him. "Come on over here, then I'll let you hold Rose!"

Having all of her colleagues visiting Rose surprisingly gave Morgan a lot of energy and the doctor decided she was ready to go home. Everyone offered to take them home, but in the end Greg drove his daughter and her mother home himself.

When they arrived at home they found Morgan's Dad waiting in the living room to their surprise.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Morgan asked. Ecklie smiled at her. "Remember how I suddenly had an idea for my very first gift as a grandfather? I didn't want to give it to you at the hospital, so when I heard Lindsey had your spare key, I asked her if she could let me in. Go upstairs, then you'll see what it is!"

Curiously, Greg and Morgan went upstairs, Morgan with Rose in her arms. Ecklie pointed to the door of the nursery. "Go on!"

Greg opened the door and waited till Morgan had entered the nursery with Rose before entering himself.

"Oh, Dad!" Morgan said when she saw what his present was. It was a mobile hanging over the crib that had been decorated with little elephants.

"It used to be yours," her father told her. "You probably don't remember anymore, but you always loved watching it as a baby. Sometimes I'd come into your room to wake you up and then I'd find you already awake just watching those little animals above your head. I did change it a little, because it had all kinds of animals and I figured you'd like to stick to the elephant theme instead…"

"Dad, it's amazing, thank you so much!" Morgan carefully handed Rose over to Greg, so she could hug her father. "I'm sure Rose will love it and if she doesn't… Well, then I'll just hang it over my own bed!"

Ecklie and Greg both laughed. Then Greg said: "Of course Rose will love it, even if it's just because her grandfather made it for her! Thank you, Conrad, it really is a wonderful present!"

"You're welcome," Ecklie smiled at him. "Well, I better go now, so the three of you can be alone. See you tomorrow?"

"Definitely," Morgan smiled. As Ecklie left the nursery, she gently put Rose in her own crib for the very first time. The little girl remained fast asleep. Morgan watched her with a loving smile on her face. "She's just so beautiful…"

"Just like her Mom," Greg whispered in her ear before he kissed her. Gently, he led her to the chair next to the crib and helped her sit down. "You're the most beautiful woman I know, Morgan, but of course that's not the only reason why I fell in love with you. You're smart, strong, determined, you make me smile… You're just the most wonderful woman I know! I love you so much, Morgan, and I can't imagine my life without you anymore."

While he was talking, he had gotten a little box out of his pocket, which he now opened to show Morgan the ring he had bought before he knew she was pregnant already. He looked up at her, as usual immediately feeling the love he felt for her rush through his body. "Morgan, will you marry me?"

"Yes… Yes!" In tears she pulled him into her arms and kissed him, a kiss full of passion and love. "I love you so much too, Greg, I think I always have! That day we first met, when Nick introduced you to me… I'll never forget your sweet, but clumsy way of trying to flirt with me… You immediately made me smile and I know I didn't show it at first, but I couldn't stop thinking about you anymore from that moment on. I love you, Greg!"

"I love you too!" He pulled her closer and kissed her again. Suddenly they were interrupted by Rose, who started crying. Morgan quickly got up, but when she looked at her daughter, the little girl had fallen asleep already again.

"She probably felt left out," Greg grinned. He carefully bent down and gave his daughter a kiss on her hand.

"Maybe she felt lonely," Morgan softly said. "Maybe it's her way of telling us that she wants to have a brother or sister one day…"

A little surprised, Greg looked at her. "You must be feeling much better again if you're already thinking about a brother or sister for Rose!"

Morgan smiled at him. "I've never felt so great as I feel now! Being here with you with a ring on my finger that says we're getting married and looking at our daughter… How can I not feel great?"

Smiling, Greg pulled her close while he looked down at their little girl. He still felt like the luckiest man in the world and he knew Morgan had to feel like the luckiest woman in the world right now. And it was all thanks to their baby girl, their little Rose Catherine Brody-Sanders.
