Casey and Laura are on their way to the airport to pick up Emma.
"Do you think she wants a sibling?" Laura asks as she fiddles with her hands
"Baby. I told you to stop worrying about this. She will love it!" Casey adds as he puts a hand on her shaking thigh
"I know I just don't want to pressure her or anything" Laura says in a panic
"Your not pressuring her. She's been begging me for a brother or sister for years now! She'll love it!" Casey says as he turns into the airport
Laura and Casey get out and greet Emma
"Emma!" Casey yells as she spots her
"Dad!" Emma says as she runs up and jumps into his arms
"I missed you!" Casey says as he hugs her tight
"I missed you too! But it was so fun with mom! She taught me how to put in stitches and everything!" Emma explains enthusiastically
"That's great kiddo!" Casey says as he puts her down
"Oh Hi Miss Russell" Emma says as she looks at Laura
"Hello there miss Emma! But we've talked about this! You can call me Laura when your not in school" Laura explains as she gets down to her level
"I know" Emma says as she smiles
"Now how about we go get ice cream?" Casey suggests
"Yes!" Emma yells
They all load up into the car and drive to the ice cream store. They then get ice cream and head to the beach. Emma has finished with her ice cream and is playing in the water
"Careful Emma!" Casey yells
"I know dad!" Emma yells back
"She really had a great time with Gabby then huh?" Laura adds as Casey sits next to her
"She adores Gabby. She is her mom at the end of the day. She says she wants to be a paramedic just like her mom when she grows up" Casey says as he looks at Emma playing in the water
"I know and I would never want to replace Gabby. But do you think she wants a sibling if it's from me?" Laura asks putting her hand on her stomach
"Who's better than you?" Casey adds before giving her a kiss
He then calls Emma over and she drys off
"We have a surprise for you!" Casey adds
"Oooo! I love surprises!" Emma says enthusiastically
Laura then pulls out a shirt that says best big sister with the scan picture
"Here you go miss Emma" Laura says as she hands her the gifts
Emma opens the t-shirt and sees the scan. Her face lights up and she runs over to Laura and hugs her
"Thank you for making me a big sister Laura!" Emma says as Laura looks at Casey in shock
"Your going to make the best sister miss Emma!" Laura says as she hugs her tighter
