"Okay, Babies A and B are out. Last but not least, here is Baby C," Dr. Montgomery announces. She is in the operating room, performing a C-section on Cat. She holds the tiny baby up for Cat to see. Cat and her husband, Robbie, decided to have their triplets born via C-section. The nurses take the triplets to the NICU, while Dr. Montgomery closes Cat's surgical incisions. Once Dr. Montgomery is finishes, she has Cat brought to a recovery room.
A few hours later, the triplets are brought into Cat's hospital room. Dr. Montgomery tells Cat and Robbie about each of the triplets and their unique characteristics. There are two girls and one boy. Dr. Montgomery shows Cat and Robbie how to hold the tiny babies. "Although the triplets were born prematurely, they seem fairly healthy. However, we're going to keep monitoring them in the NICU for a while," she tells the couple, before leaving the room.
"Robbie! We're parents now!" Cat squeals excitedly. She is holding Baby A and Baby B. Robbie is holding Baby C. He smiles and looks at the baby in his arms. "They're so tiny and adorable!" Cat exclaims. Baby A is a boy and Baby B and Baby C are girls. "This is the best day of my life," Robbie says. He and Cat coo and speak in baby talk for next few hours.

"I can't believe he's really gonna be ours!" Cat squeals. She, Robbie, Robbie Jr. (Alex), Abigail, and Addison are on their way to the adoption agency. The triplets are three years old now. Cat and Robbie are adopting Keegan, an 8-year-old boy.
Once they arrive at the agency, Cat and Robbie get the triplets out of their car seats and enter the building. They meet with the social worker that had been assigned to them. During their meeting, Cat and Robbie go through paperwork and sign documents. When they finally finish, Keegan is brought to them.
Since Keegan had already met Cat, Robbie, and the triplets on various occasions, he doesn't feel awkward around them. He loves Cat and Robbie and is excited to go home. Cat and Robbie sign a couple more papers, before they can take Keegan home.
After Cat, Robbie, the triplets, and Keegan get back to the house, everyone takes Keegan up to his new room. Cat explains where everything is and the household rules as they make their way upstairs. When Keegan enters his new bedroom, a huge smile spreads across his face. "Thank you so much mom and dad...is it okay if I call you guys that?" Keegan says, hugging Cat and Robbie. "Of course you can call us mom and dad! You're part of the family!" Cat says happily, hugging her son back. The whole family joins together in a giant group hug.
