Life Can't Get Much Better

"Are you alright?"

Nya Walker asked her husband as they were walking up to the hospital entrance.

Jay turned his head and smiled at his wife. "I am great. Just a bit nervous."

"Me too." Nya agreed. "I guess that's never going to change, no matter how many times we've been here before. But I'm sure they're gonna be just fine."

"I know."Jay sighed. "And I can't wait to finally meet her. Did pregnancies always take so long?"

Nya giggled at her husband's antics. "I guess we were just busier when we had our kids, so time went by a lot faster..." She stated. "But I can't wait either. I am really curious what she's gonna look like."

"And what her element is." The auburn-haired man added.

"You mean to find out if she has your element." The former Master of Water teased her husband. "But don't get your hopes up. So far, the firstborn child of two elemental masters has always received their father's element."

"Yes, but you know our daughter. When did she ever play by the rules? I wouldn't even be surprised if the baby had water or fire abilities from your side."

"Let's just wait and see."

"But I hate waiting."Jay complained.

"We've waited all these months for our first grandchild, now you can wait just a few minutes longer to see her." His wife stated. She went to the reception desk. "Good afternoon, we would like to see Abigail Brookstone, please. We're her parents, Jay and Nya Walker."

The nurse looked up and smiled at the elderly couple. "Good afternoon, Mr and Mrs Walker. Mrs Brookstone is in room 321, on the third floor. Congratulations, by the way. She's a perfectly healthy and lovely little girl."

"Thank you so much." Nya replied with a happy smile.

When they arrived at at their daugther's room, they stopped in front of the door and looked at each other. Jay gently tucked a strand of black and silver hair behind his wife's ear. "I love you, grandma."

"I love you too, grandpa." Nya laughed. "Now, let's go see our little granddaughter."

She knocked on the door. "Come in." A male voice called from inside.

Nya opened the door, and the former Ninja entered the room.

A visibly exhausted young woman with long brunette hair and deep blue eyes was sitting in the hospital bed, holding a white little bundle in her arms, while an equally tired looking black-haired young man was sitting in the chair next to the bed, an ice pack wrapped around his left hand and lovingly looking at his wife and newborn daughter.

"Mom, dad." The woman excitedly greeted her parents. "Meet your granddaughter, Edna Brookstone."

"Congratulations, darling." Nya smiled at her oldest daughter "How are you feeling?"

"A bit sore and tired, but otherwise all fine. And the baby is perfectly healthy, that's the main thing. Do you want to hold her?"

Nya tenderly took the sleeping baby from her daughter. "She is gorgeous, honey." The proud new grandmother said.

"Congratulations, Luke." Jay embraced his son-in-law. "Abby did this?" He then asked, looking at the other man's hand.

Luke nodded. "Yup. Never underestimate the strength of a woman in pain, it can even crush a Master of Earth."

"Must run in the family. Nya broke two bones in my hand, when she gave birth to Abigail. And another one with Robbie." Jay stated. "But it's worth it." He smiled.

"Would you like to hold her too?" Nya carefully handed the precious bundle to her husband.

"She is so beautiful. And I love her name." He sniffed. "Mum and dad will be so proud when they hear that."

"Luke has already sent them a picture. Also to grandma Maya, uncle Kai, and to his grandparents." Abby told him. "We will visit them as soon as we can. It would just be too much to have them all around today."

"They will love that." Nya said, taking a closer look at the girl who was slightly stirring in her grandfather's arms. "She looks a lot like you, Luke."

Luke smiled. "She does. But when she wakes up soon, you will see that she has Jay and Abby's eyes."

"YESSS." Jay cheered. The deep blue eyes were a dominant trait associated with the Lightning element. "Better luck next time, huh?" He grinned at his son-in-law.

"DAD!" Abby blushed, but smiled happily at her father.

And Jay smiled back.

Shortly after, they were joined by Cole and his wife Seliel, the baby's other grandparents, as well as little Edna's aunts and uncles.

Looking at his still beautiful wife, his wonderful friends and his – growing – family, Jay thought that his life couldn't get much better than this.

Sure, he had thought so quite a few times before – when they had defeated the Overlord, when he and Nya had finally gotten married, when their own children had been born.
But, he had always liked to find out he had been wrong about this all along.

I didn't want this oneshot to be a repetition of "At Your Most Beautiful" (there's enough overlap like this already) so I couldn't use their own wedding or baby. But it was a good opportunity to introduce some of 'my' child OCs 😄.
Jay and Nya's oldest daughter is called Abigail Sky Walker (in earlier stories, I also used the name Emilia) - later Brookstone when she is married to Cole and Seliel's son Luke. The Walkers have two more kids, Robert and Maya. And Luke has a twin sister, Sylvia. Not telling about the other families 😉.
