December 30, 1999, 1:50 a.m. ... "Okay here comes another one." Briar hissed as she held her stomach.
"Okay, the timer started." He took her hand and looked at her, "are you sure it's labor? I mean, they're not due until April."
"Oh yeah, this is it." Then it stopped, "I can't believe I let you trick myself into doing this, 'let's go away for the weekend before the baby comes, it'll be fine.'"
"Well, you should know better than to listen to me." They kissed and she groaned again.
"There it is again."
"Whoa, already?" She nodded, "okay, I think it's time to go." He said jumping out of bed.

Outside the hotel... Jack came out of the doors holding a hospital bag while holding Jessica and Eric's hands, they were also holding a hospital bag, after all, Briar was expecting quadruplets.
Jack left to go get the car, "okay, we're having babies!" He yelled driving away. "Misty, Daniel, Abigail-Isabelle, and Lily."
"Elizabeth, Jack, we're naming her Elizabeth,"
"Okay, I know it's early but, no, her name's Lily."
"Okay, Jack let's not do this right now, we can talk about it after, Misty, Daniel, Abigail-Isabelle, and Elizabeth are born."
"Lily." He coughed. Briar side-eyed him.

"Step on the gas!" Jack did as instructed.
"What's going on?"
"Something's not right. I keep seeing silver sparks and I'm getting HORRIBLE headaches."
"Yeah, I don't think that's normal."

January 10, 2000... Briar Rose had survived a near-death experience with toxemia AKA pre-eclampsia. Each baby had its own medical episode. Misty's heart was not fully developed, Daniel had spinal cord damage as well as respiratory because his lungs didn't fully develop, Elizabeth-Lillian had heart issues, respiratory issues, and digestive issues, while Abigail-Isabelle had neurological issues causing seizures. The doctors presumed that she had a stroke in the womb causing her to not have full control of her body and affect part of her brain.
