Cosmic Events

Theodore Arrives

Christian
Leave it to Theodore to choose Christmas Day as his birthday. We were in the middle of having sex when Anastasia's water broke and I at first thought it was something else. I then realized it wasn't. He is a week early. So I call mom and she said to call 911 and get them to head our way. It was three in the morning and I had just finished wrapping the last minute gifts and so was Anastasia. We got busy is all I can say. I deflated quickly after that.

Anastasia
This is so embarrassing and I can't believe that my water broke during sex. Well attempting sex. Christian at first thought it was something else, but knew it wasn't soon after.  He called his mom about it and she had him call 911 and get the ambulance on it's way because Teddy is on his way and he isn't waiting. He called Jason and Gail and they were here in less than five minutes in clothing. Apparently they were having a bit of fun themselves. Gail and Jason brought things to help deliver Teddy.

Grace
I finally arrive just as the ambulance arrives, we are late. Because Gail has delivered Teddy and she is clearing his airways. Christian looks green around the gills and is looking like he could pass out. I move so the EMTs can get Anastasia on the gurney to go to the hospital. Christian is going with them at my insistence. We are all following them to the hospital and it is a circus. Gail had her assistant clean up the mess and she didn't blink an eye and went straight to work on the bedroom and the bathroom. It was like a cleaning tornado. Gail seems to have chose well and she has been with them for a year and I barely saw her. She does her job and then some. She was hired as part time and she did such a great job she was moved up to Gail's assistant. A few other household staff were miffed but they finally realized why she was promoted over them. We would love to have staff like Christian has as well. Ours are good but not like Gail and her assistant. The other household staff are like mine and decent just not exceptional.

We arrive along with the rest of the family. Everyone has to see the Christmas baby. The nursery has him in a red cap for the day. We get photos and get to hold him while Anastasia is being examined along with being put in a private room. Taylor has already called in the security team he hired to be here at the hospital to insure his bosses wife and child's safety during this time. Christian does indeed hire excellent staff.

Christian
I send Gail and Jason home so they can get some sleep. I am sleeping by my wife and Teddy has been brought in after getting the clearance. He has already had his first taste of milk and two diapers changed by me with the nurses help. Elliott and Kate have came and gone. Kate is at 97% of what she was before she had the issues with her childbirth. They are thinking about adopting rather than risk her or another baby's life. I don't blame them at all.

Anastasia
I am sound asleep when I hear Christian talking to Teddy as he is crying and he wants me to feed him. I wake up enough to get him fed and fall back to sleep. Christian burps him and lays him back down for a small nap. Christian lays down with me and Teddy is ready for something again. He has a four hour cycle at this point of feeding. The family brings our presents to us and they also had the gifts we were giving to them to the hospital as well. We had a good Christmas Day and they brought food as well. Mia and Hanover are both very happy his parents joined the fun as well. Baxter brought his lady friend by to see Teddy. Sadie I found out was an accidental meeting on the party for Mia and Hanovers wedding and the other good news in our lives. She ran into his car literally. That was how it all begun and she was on her way to her parents party and they invited him to join them. Amazing.

Grace
I laughed at how Baxter met Sadie and told them it was a cosmic event that brought them together. There was no doubt everything lined up for them to meet in such a way. I bet they get married some time down the line. Carrick just laughs at recalling our meeting. 

Carrick
I laugh at how Grace and I met. We were both carrying a huge stack of books and weren't watching where we were going and ran into each other. Our books ended up mixed up and we had to go find each other to get the right ones back because the book store ran out of the ones we needed. So we tracked each other down and missed each other until we finally ran into each other again after the bookstore called us when they got a new shipment of the books in. We exchanged the books that day rather than spending extra money for the books. We started dating a week afterward.

Kate
We leave to have Christmas with my family and friends after we get everything opened. The twins were spoiled this year. I am trying to get back that three percent and it is hard, but I am pushing for it. Elliott is happy with me as is. We decided to adopt and I think my family and his are in agreement on this idea. We have filled out the paperwork to start the adoption process just after I was done with my pt and ot and much happier.

Elliott
Things are going pretty well as we leave the hospital to go visit her family and friends. They have the twins since we were there overnight. Presents were opened of course. We get there and get a phone call about our wanting to adopt a child and if we could come and get her today? I tell Kate and she wants to go get the child. We don't have gifts for her. I call Jason and he says he thinks he can get someone to deliver gifts for any age, but he needs more information. So I call and get the sizes and her age and they tell me they are twins a boy and girl that are five years old. Kate and I get there and pick up two five year olds who look like they are our twins age. Albert and Alberta are there names. We get them both home and there are packages waiting for them at the guard shack. I plan on giving Jason and Gail a very nice gift. I was going to today, but things happened. We need another minivan now. My truck won't accommodate four children plus Kate and I.
