This is the whole story of Jack and Sally's special daughter, Emily. It starts from her birth and goes all the way up to her age now. All characters you hear names of that you don't recognize from TNBC is completely fan-made by me.
Jack didn't touch his dinner that night. He was too nervous to speak, contact or even just wave hello. Jack, the Pumpkin King, was finally frightened.
The town was nervous, too. Sally, Jack's wife, was pregnant and the baby was due in three days. They tittered about preparing the arrival of their future Pumpkin Princess or Prince, hanging up many decorations and 'CONGRATULATIONS!' banners.
Jack had locked himself in his room. Sally had to bring food up to him, but the sooner it got to the big day, the less he began to eat. He was weary and everyone knew it.
But then, out of nowhere, Jack heard a voice call of an old man and a whizzing sound. "Jack! Jack!"
Dr. Finklestein rolled toward the skeleton man in a very big hurry. "Jack, the baby is coming!"
Jack was horrified and just managed to stutter, But, Doctor, it wasn't due for three days yet!"
"I know! But there's no time for that. Come on!" The doctor whizzed off again, Jack following as fast as he could.
Dr. Finklestein stopped and turned to Jack. "You alert the town. I'll take care of Sally." And with that, he rolled into Sally's room of the house.
Jack sprinted across the room and tripped clumsily down the stairs until he got to the town square. "It's coming. The baby is coming!"
The town gasped. Mayor's face turned to the anxious white face that used to show every time Lock, Shock and Barrel would prank him.
The Mayor asked, "But wasn't it due until three days from now!"
"That's exactly what I said!" Jack was frantic. "But she's coming, and I mean NOW!!!"
Jack ran back inside, up to Sally's room door, where Dr. Finklestein awaited. "Congratulations, Jack, your baby girl has been born."
Jack was thrilled. "Doctor, can I see her."
"Of course you can." replied the Doctor, opening the door for him.
Sally lay in her bed, holding a tiny girl in her arms.
"S-s-sally?" Jack was getting very excited.
Sally smiled weakly. "She's here."
Jack walked cautiously up to her, still smiling.
"Isn't she beautiful?"
The girl was wrapped up in a cobweb blanket and was sucking a passifier just like Jack's tie. She had long, black, silky hair, a stitch like Sally's across her eye and dark rings under her sleeping ones.
"Yes, beautiful."
Jack carefully scooped up the tender girl from Sally's arms and moved his head toward hers, whispering, "Welcome to the world, darling."
"What shall we call her?" Sally asked.
They both thought, and said at the same time, "Emily."
Jack gave the baby back to her mother and flew open the windows, yelling, "Emily has been born!"
The town cheered, knowing their future Pumpkin Princess would do them proud.

So Emily has been born. What could make Jack happier? Nothing... but something can make him sadder. Much sadder. Post the next chapter soon!
