"We have to get to the hospital," said Tobias. He helped Brenda into their car and rushed over. Luckily, they were admitted right away. "It hurts a lot," Brenda rasped. "Just push," said the doctor. Brenda pushed with all her might, trying as hard as possible to get the baby out. "I...think....I..got...you...now!" she rasped as her child finally came out. "It's a girl!" exclaimed the doctor. "I love her," sighed Brenda, "But she's causing me so much pain. I think I'll call her Veronica." "First up, Veronica!" cheered the doctor. "All right, Brenda. One down, three to go." "Wait, three more?" gasped Brenda. "You mean I'm having quadruplets?" "Yes. Fraternal quadruplets," the doctor responded. "You wanted this to be a surprise," Tobias told Brenda.

An hour later, Brenda had given birth to four babies, three girls and a boy. They had named the second girl born Johanna, and their son would be named Uriah. "What should we call the smallest girl?" asked Brenda. "Well, she reminds me of someone I know, so let's call her Beatrice," said Tobias. "Veronica, Johanna, Uriah, and Beatrice," Brenda added. "I like those names." "I heard some babies take after people they're named after," said Tobias. "Alright then," Brenda laughed, picking up Veronica and Beatrice. "Veronica, honey, this is your sister Beatrice. Don't kill her, okay?" Veronica looked at her mother and tapped Beatrice's nose, and Beatrice sneezed. "Also your brother, Uriah," added Brenda. "And don't become a writer, honey. You'll rip our hearts out." Veronica stared at Brenda. "Good girl, Veronica," said Tobias. "You and Johanna and Beatrice and Uriah. You're the best."
