I can't believe how lucky I was to meet Leila. After a month in New York I called her and we got together after explaining everything she forgave me. Anastasia and Elliott called me and asked me if I really liked Leila, if not they have other guys interested in meeting her. I was luckily done with everything. I flew back to Seattle and that was over year ago. We married a month after I got back and here I am waiting for our child to be born. We were surprised when we found out she was pregnant with twins. I have tried to get her ex to allow me to adopt his sons, but he is resistant. They call me daddy anyway and I am added to all legal papers as their stepfather.
Leila
Charles is waiting to hear he is the father of twins. We never could get the girls to show what sex they were. Both were hugging each other. Charles and I decided any other additions to our family will be adoptions. So he and I are getting fixed to prevent further pregnancies. We have already got on the list to adopt. I am glad Anastasia and Elliott got us together. He is just what my sons and I needed in our lives. He has hired a few people to assist him so he can be a father and a husband. We had a simple ceremony in our backyard of our home. Disneyland was where went went for our honeymoon. It was a blast and romantic as well. Not many men can pull off a honeymoon with the mother of four boys, but he did and did it well. The boys were with us all day and the mannies at night. Luckily the boys were worn out after a full day of fun.

A month later
Kate
Elliott is frantic about the baby being born, I have had three miscarriages and this baby made it past the sixth month of pregnancy. I am at my eighth month of pregnancy. Charles and Leila Lawson have six children now. So I am very jealous of all these people having such an easy time of their pregnancy. I am on bed rest and bored senseless. Anastasia and Annabelle have came by to see me. They have a few story ideas and they want me to also think about writing some children's books. Just my luck as I am being visited by them my water breaks. Of course the baby decides to join us ten minutes later. She definitely is my daughter. I have to give Anastasia and Annabelle credit they kept me calm and they were able to handle everything. One delivered my child while the other got the supplies needed to clean the baby off and clear her mouth, nose and throat of mucous. They decided to have others cut the cord.
Elliott
I have a daughter and she was delivered at home by family members. I am nervous so my office manager is driving me to the hospital. Anastasia and Annabelle delivered the baby. I don't know the whole story, but I am glad they were there. Mom is waiting for her and the baby at the hospital. Our whole family is at the hospital. I add taken to see my wife and baby. Kate has named our daughter Ava Grace Grey. Kate looks beautiful but tired. Mom and dad are thrilled about Ava. I have daughter in my arms and pass her to my mother. I go sit by Kate. Her parents arrive and they are thrilled as well. Kate will need to stay in the hospital longer than Ava, she lost more blood than she should have. They are getting her built back up.
Grace
Kate was lucky to have had Anastasia and Annabelle with her when she had Ava. Anastasia told the EMTs about packing Kate's Uterus to stop her bleeding. She was very quick thinking about keeping the placenta in place and cleaning the baby up. Annabelle could tell something was wrong and kept Kate occupied while they waited for the ambulance. They went with Kate to inform them of everything. Luckily they took Kate into surgery and they stopped the bleeding. I spoke to her OB/GYN and he told me someone was very quick thinking and saved both the baby and Kate. Dr Rogers said quick thinking was what saved their lives. I asked Anastasia how she knew to do what she did for Kate and her baby?
Anastasia
Grace asked me how I knew to handle the situation with Kate. I have had to do it more than once. Several clients of mine were pregnant and it made me nervous, so in my spare time I looked into childbirth and what to do in emergency scenarios until emergency services arrive. I definitely worked fast in those situations and had to use my own clothing to stop the bleeding. Luckily I had extra clothing with me. I decided to assure we were set up for any contingency when we had pregnant clients. 
Annabelle
I learned a lot about what happened to Kate and her baby today. We moved very quickly and according to the doctors we saved both Kate and Ava's lives today. We saw how panicked Kate was and we kept her calm and went to work and got the EMT's informed without upsetting Kate. We get in with them and head to the hospital.
Carla
My girls were taught that in an emergency you stay calm and take on issue at a time until the situation ends. They handled this situation calmly and saved two lives. I can't say that I could have saved the baby or Kate. Ray said he wouldn't have even saved them. He is pretty calm until it comes to women giving birth.

I just shake my head, because I have been present when Anastasia has been asked to come help in an emergency situation with a pregnant woman in the courthouse. She apparently has an emergency kit in her van. Today her and Annabelle were trying to get Kate to write children's books and they were there at the right time.
