      The next morning Adam and Sally were getting ready,Sally came back in their room from making sure the girls were ready
"The girls are almost ready" she told Adam who was in the bathroom
"Are you still okay with bringing them" he asked
"Yes, Connor said he can take them today and I'd rather pass them off there so Haddie isn't alone"she said putting on her shirt
"Um...Babe where's my cologne" he asked
Sally came up and peaked around the doorway giving him a look
"What did you do"he asked
"I threw it away" she said looking guilty
"Why, out of revenge from yesterday.. have your hormones started already" he joked placing his hand on his hips
"No, I found out the smell of it was what was causing my nausea... I'll buy you more" she told him
Adam shook his head coming over to her "No don't worry about it"he wrapped his arms around her waist "You going through this to grow our child the least I can do is give my cologne"he said softly
Sally smiled and laid her head on his chest "I love you"
"Back at you" he quickly kissed her head
              *****************
    They all walked into the hospital,
Adam was holding Mazie's hand and Sally had Eden's. Connor was coming of Haddie room
"Con, what's wrong is everything okay"Sally said racing up to him
"Everything is fine, they are just checking on her. I was just going to get some coffee"he informed her
"Oh okay"Sally relaxed a little
"Connie"Eden said all excited and jumping into his arms
"Hello to you to Eddy" he kissed her cheek
"I want to go" Mazie said pulling on Adam's arm
"In a minute" he told her
"No I want to go now"she said again
"Mazie behave. You'll go in a minute"Sally told her "Why don't you take Eden over there and read books until your brother is ready to go"
"Fine"she groaned grabbing Eden's hand and walking away
Sally sighed "Sorry"she watched Mazie hand Eden a book "She's been having a hard time with all this"Sally said
"It's all good"Connor nodded
"So how was she for you"Adam asked placing his hand on Sally's back
"She was good, she woke up a couple times asking for you"he said looking at Adam
Sally got a little sad
"I'll go get coffee then I'll take the girls home"he said
"Sure son"Adam said patting his back as Connor walked by
Sally walked up and looked at the window
"I felt it Sal, when Connor mentioned that Haddie asked for me I sensed you being hurt" he said
"How could I not, I haven't really been able to stay with her so of course she'd ask for you"Sally had tears in her eyes when she looked at him. "So Mazie is jealous of Haddie while I'm jealous of you" she told him
Adam came up and wiped her tears away
         *****************
  The doctor came out and over to them
"Mr and Mrs Newman good morning" she greeted them
Adam held Sally again "Hi how is she doing"
"She's doing good, you'd be happy to know we set a date for Hadley's bone marrow transplant"she told them
"Already"Sally said in surprises
"Yes we still need to do a couple more treatments to get her body ready for the new cells. I hope you are ready by the end of next week"she said
"We will be, thank you"Adam said
She smiled and walked away
Sally hugged him "Oh my God Adam  it's happening our girl is going to get better" she said
Adam pulled her to look at her, wiping her tears away "You okay, these happy tears"he asked
"Yes, I never thought this day would come"
"I know who knew my sister would be the one"he said
"Ya maybe the perfect way to thank Abby is to name this baby after her"she said wrapping her arm around his waist, giving him a look she knew would make him laugh
Adam did laugh "If it's a girl we could consider it and with our track record"he said stroking his thumb on her stomach
"It's a pretty good chance" she said
Sally then saw Elena coming over out of the corner of her eye
"Hey what are you doing here" she asked
"I felt like an awful friend for not coming to check on you guys and Hadley"Elena said hugging her "How is she"she asked
They were walking towards the waiting room where the girls were
"She's good, the doctor just told us they set a date for her transplant it's for next week"Sally told her
"Oh my God I'm so happy for you guys"she hugged both of them
Connor came back with coffee
"Would you like me to take the girls home now"he asked
"Sure"Sally said turning to the girls "Um .. where's Mazie"she said looking around the waiting room
They all turned to look
"Eddy baby where's your sister"Sally bent down in front of her
"I don't know, she was right here"she looked up at her Mama
Sally looked back at Adam in panic "Adam" she said
Adam came over "Eden did Mazie say anything to you, like she went to the bathroom"Adam asked
Eden shook her head
"Okay don't panic, I'll have them lock down the hospital"Elena said running over to the desk
"Connor stay with your sister please"Adam said as he ran to look for her
"Where could she have gone"Sally said running after him
"I don't know, go look in the bathroom"he said
                  ***********
    Sally came out of the bathroom freaking out
"She's not in there, oh my God Adam where's my baby" she ran to him
Adam looked at her with a smile "I found her" he looked into the window of Hadley's room
  They both looked in the window, there was Mazie in bed with her sister giggling at something
"Of course how did not think to look there first, how did I not realize it"Sally said softly
Adam pulled Sally in front of her and held her tight "She may have been upset I was with her more but it wasn't because she's a Daddy's girl, I think she was upset she couldn't be with her twin"he said "And more importantly Sal, she wasn't mad at you"he whispered into her ear then kissed her cheek
Sally pulled his arms tighter around her "I know we need to go get her, but I don't have the heart to disrupt them" Sally leaned back into him
"Look at Hadley, I don't think I have seen her laugh in weeks"he said
"A sister's love is the best medicine"Sally smiled
                 ****************
    Adam and Sally finally walked into the room, Mazie looked over and knew she was in trouble
"I'm sorry" she said
"Oh Maz, we aren't mad"Sally hugged her"But running off like that is not okay"she said in a stern tone
Mazie nodded
Adam came over and sat in the bed "You are happy to see Mazie aren't you Bean"he said to Hadley
Hadley smiled at Mazie and nodded
Sally placed her arms around Adam's neck "Mommy and Daddy know how hard being away from each other is. Pretty soon you'll together.... we all will" she smiled
Connor then came in carrying Eden, Elena following behind them
"Connor told me you found her"she said
"We did, we are sorry to cause the hospital so much trouble" Adam said
Elena shook her head "They're just glad she was found"she said then smiled at Hadley "Hey Hadley"
Hadley slowly waved
"I'm so happy to see you sweetie"she smiled
Sally sighed "Okay Mazie it's time to say goodbye to Hadley. Connor is going to take you and Eden  home"
Mazie looked over at Haddie "Bye Haddie"she said sitting up "Oh Haddie guess what.."
"What"Hadley asked
"Mommy is having another baby" she said with a smile
Haddie looked at her parents and smiled
"Can it be a boy" she asked
Sally placed her forehead on Adam's shoulder and they laughed. Connor and Elena smiled
"Oh Bean that's  already been decided and we won't know until it's born" she told her "But if it isn't l, you can't thank your father" she pat Adam's shoulders
This confused the girls, causing them to laugh again
"Come on Mazie time to go" Adam said picking her up and set her down
"You and Eden be good for Connor and do not run away" he pointed at her "One of us will see you later" he added
"Connor if you need anything call Coco okay" Sally told him
Connor nodded then left with the girls. Elena came over to them
"My shifts about to start, but I'll be here if you need anything" she hugged Sally
Then waved at Hadley before heading out as well
Sally and Adam just spent time taking care of the girl

*I promise happy times are coming bare with me*
