At 12 o'clock on October 1, 1989, 44 women around the world gave birth. This incident was very unusual as none of these women were even pregnant that morning. Eccentric billionaire and adventuer Sir Reginald Hargreeves decided to find and adopt as many of the children as he could. Reginald Hargreeves entered Cordelia's room. The whole family was standing over her. "Extraordinary." He extended his hand towards the baby. "How much do you want?" And so he adopted eight of them.
