I know I am in the middle of Sisters and Brothers but this story has been bugging me for days now so I have decided to play around with this for a bit. This will be a series story, with each chapter being a new adventure. I know this first part is kinda rough so please forgive me. I hope you enjoy and please review.

Marie had been in labor for hours. Ever since she had started screaming Adam and Hoss had been hiding outside in the barn.

"What do you think it'll be Adam?"

Adam looked over at his 6 year old brother. He could tell Hoss was nervous and was looking to him for reassurance. Adam was nervous too, but was trying to stay strong for his family. He knew how dangerous giving birth could be. His own Mother had died giving birth to him. But he just knew Marie would be ok, she had to be. He just couldn't bare to see Pa all upset again. But he was excited about the newest arrival, he couldn't make up his mind about what he wanted, a brother would be great, but he already had a little brother, a sister would be a whole new experience.

"I don't know Hoss what do you want?"

"I want it to be a boy, Me an' you are both boys so it only makes sense."

"I kind of want a little sister."

Hoss just looked at Adam like he had cussed." A sister, why would you even say that?"

Adam laughed at his little brothers apposition to girls very typical he thought, now if only he would stay that way.

"What's so wrong with it being a little girl?"

"Because girls are just weird."

"Is Marie weird?"
"A little but she's our Ma so she doesn't count."

"But the baby will be our little sister, family just like me and you."

"Yeah but I don't if I could love and play with a sister."

"You'll love it and find a way."

Adam smiled down at his little brother. And they sat there on the porch for the longest until Ben appeared at the door.

"Boys it's time."

Adam and Hoss looked at each other and then to their father who was smiling.

They followed their Pa up the stairs to the door where they could hear crying. Hoss grabbed on to Adams hand and looked at Adam again, Adam gave a reassuring smile and took a deep breath to prepare himself, he would be happy with either.

Ben opened the door to reveal the bedroom with a tired Marie holding a bundle of blankets.

"Go on boys go meet your little brother."

"It's a boy?"

"Yes petits, you have heathly little brother, petit frère."

Adam walked over to Marie's side took look at the baby. He was so small yet perfect. The baby opened his eyes to look up at Adam.

"Hey there baby, I'm your big brother Adam, and this is Hoss your other brother."

"Hey Pa what's his name?"

Ben looked to Marie with a smile.

"We've decided to call him Joseph."

"I think Little Joe would fit him better Pa."

"I think you're right Hoss, très bon."

Just then Marie started to groan in pain. The doctor rushed over to her side and ordered Ben and the boys out. Ben's face was filled with worry, and Adam could sense something was wrong, very wrong.
Ben, Adam and Hoss all sat down in the living room taking turns pacing back in forth. Each trying to comfort a crying Hoss.

After about 20 mins the doctor came running down.

"It's a miracle I tell you, you'll never believe it Mr. Cartwright, it's twins."

"Twins?"

"Yes your wife had twins, she and the babies are perfectly heathly."

"I can't believe it boys you have 2 little brothers now."

"No Mr. Cartwright, a little sister."

Adam's eyes widened," A little sister?"

"Yes."

They all ran up stairs to a happy greeting and 2 little cries.

Adam approached the bed slowly and peered into the face of 2 little babies, one boy and one girl.

"Do you want to hold her Adam?"

Adam nodded he was filled with excitement and joy, he now had 2 little siblings.

Adam sat in the chair closest to the bed and held his little sister. She opened her bright green eyes and peered into the very soul of Adam, this tiny little girl would forever hold the heart of Adam Cartwright.

"Chloè."

"Did you say something son?"

"Chloè, we should name her Chloè."

"Oh Ben I love that name, it's perfect."

"Well then Chloè it is, Joseph and Chloè Cartwright."

Later that night the Cartwright Family sat together on the bed telling each other stories of what the newest members would be and do with their lives.

The story had only just begun.
