An hour later, at Cheryl's
O"i miss mommy, why is it taking her so long to get the babies?" C"because the doctors got to do everything to get the babies ready, and get mommy to feel better." O"are the babies going to look like hayley?" C"yeah kinda, but way smaller." O"like my barbies at home?" C"not that small, when you see them you gotta be careful, they are fragile and helpless." C"because they are younger than hayley and you." O"when do you think mommy is coming home?" C"soon." T"hey I'm home, hey liv, what you doin here?" O"mommy is having the babies, and auntie Cheryl is telling me how and about them." T"really?" She looks at Cheryl. C"not about the birds and the bees." She whispers. C"her mom can tell her, when she gets older." T"ok good, yeah. Go play with Abby liv." O"ok." She runs. T"she is too cute." C"i know, so what are you thinking, adopt, donor, surrogate?" T"OH, My, GOD! Really!" C"yeah, Abby is 3, we are ready." T"im thinking you should get pregnant, I wanna know what it would be like for you to be pregnant." C"i never really thought about it, I never really wanted to be, but for you yeah I should give it a try." T"YaaY!"

Another hour passes, at the doctors
D"you are at 10 centimeters now, it's time." B"mmmh, yeah I'm in alot of pain." She takes jugs hand.
A couple minutes later.
D"a couple pushes to go." She pushes hard. D"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, breath." She breaths in. D"again." She pushes and a baby cries, they take the baby back. D"one more time." She pushes again and the next baby starts crying. They get the babies cleaned up and brought them back to the room. The doctor puts both the babies on Betty chest. B"wait, you must have mixed up the babies!" D"those are your babies, for sure." B"its supposed to be a boy and a girl." D"oh! Maybe there was something in the way that made the doctors think that you were have a girl and a boy." J"wow, I have two beautiful twins." B"omg, I really was excited to have a boy." She frowns. J"its ok they are perfect." B"yes they are, can you call Cheryl and Veronica and tell them they can come meet them." J"yeah." Jug leaves the room, calling bettys friends. The doctor comes in the room with the birth certificates and gives them to Betty. Betty writes all the information down.

A couple minutes later

B"this is Gabriella." She takes the other baby from Jughead and hands her to Cheryl. B"and this is Isabella." They all looked confused. T"i thought you were supposed to have a girl and a boy?" B"well the doctor told me that something must have been in the way and that this happens alot." V"oh ok weird." B"yeah I know, I was so looking forward to having a boy."

T"and Cheryl is going to be the one pregnant this time." B"wow, that's awsome guys." Betty hugs Toni. B"i thought you didn't want that cheryl?" C"i decided that I would do it for Toni, for us." V"you guys are cute together." T"and so are these babies, so when do I get to hold one?" She smiles and they all laugh. V"here." She hands Gabriella to toni.
