This might be interesting before reading. The Septembers all have very interesting names for their babies, but there is meaning behind all of them. Let's see if you can match the babies with their mother's.
Airlia-Delicate-Greek
Maverick- Wildly Independent-American
Fauve- Wild, Inhabited- French
Placido-Quiet, Calm- Italian
Calla- Beauty- Greek
Kineta-Full of Energy- Greek
Hayln- Unique, Special. Unlike any other- American
Metea- Gentle-Greek

Lena sure liked to pop 'em out! Who knew that the shyest girl in the world would be getting busy up to 4 times? That's right, our beauty is having her FOURTH baby. And we couldn't be more proud. And guess who's the lovely helper? That's right me.
Since my little escapade with Christina, Carmen's mom, I've become a midwife. Well, to my best friends, that is. So far I've been there for the births of Airlia, Taima. coaching along my fellow Septembers. You might all want to know, were the babies born in September. Through careful planning and never cold January nights, we tried. We have Augusts, Octobers, Decembers and even the occational late Julys. And we to our amazement, we only have three Septembers. Bridget's Kineta, Carmen's Fauve and my Hayln.
Lena sure is a pro though. After the 2nd she began coaching herself. Paul does a good job helping out though. That's right, Lena and Paul. The cutest couple you have ever seen. They make me sick. And then there is Carmen. With the twins, a steady job and a committed husband. She's doing better than anyone could have predicted. Bee, single once again. Facing the struggles of raising a daugther. Lucky she moved close to the rest of us and we know how to take care of her. We've learned.
And then there's me. Tibby. Single mom USA. No, there was no divorce. And certainly no pre-nups! I adopted and I think it was one of the best choices of my life. And one of my best documentarys. I owe a lot of it to Hayln though. And of course, the Septembers.
So anyway. Back to the matter on hand. Baby Calla is sitting soundlessly on Lena's lap, looking up into matching eyes similar to her own. Lena's third girl. The Septembers are extatic. Effie is hardly able to control herself, but her and her drama. You get that living in the modeling world. Not shocking, eh? Oh, but you know why we are so extatic? I forgot to mention the date. September 12.
