* Please review! Let me know what you think! *

Saturday came slow for both Connor and Alexis. They texted all day the day before and talked Friday night after she got home from work. She had gotten her license and was driving herself to their cabin. She was nervous and excited to be with him. She wanted to spend the night with him and that scared her. She hadn't had a boyfriend in a while and there was a reason for that. She walked up to the cabin and knocked on the door.

" Come in!" Came Gabriella's voice. Alexis opened the door and walked in to find one baby on a blanket on the floor in the living room. Gabriella came out of the twins room with the other baby.

" Oh, I'm so glad you are here! Can you help me get them ready?" She asked. Alexis smiled.

" Of course." She said. " What do you need?"

" Liam's clothes are right on the couch. Can you get him dressed so I can get Aislinn dressed. I sent Aurora ahead with Da because she wanted to see the boys. I'm not myself today though. I'm so nervous." Gabriella said as she laid Aislinn down beside Liam. Alexis joined her on the floor and together they started getting the twins dressed in warm clothes. " Sheep are usually very gentle but some of them don't like getting sheered and they have been known to kick. Both Murph and Connor had been kicked. I know they won't let Gabriel handle those animals but you just never know what could happen."

" Connor said this was Gabriel's first time. You have the right to be nervous." Alexis said as she carefully dressed Liam who stared up at her. The girls finished getting the babies ready then they stood up, each girl holding a baby. Gabriella smiled then.

" Okay, I'm ready. I think I will feel better once I get there." She said.

Gabriella carried Aislinn so the baby's back was against her front. Aislinn kicked legs and squealed as they walked. Alexis carried Liam the same way. He was hitting her with his arms and cooing. They walked through the yard and over to the barn. Duce was standing with Aurora holding his hand, they were by the barn door. Gabriel had a sheep by the head while Connor was holding the back legs as Murphy was sheering it. Alexis noticed Gabriella sighed happily and seemed relax as soon as she saw her boys.

All three boys were dressed alike. They had dirty jeans and big sweaters on with the sleeves pushed up. All three had sweat dripping off their faces and none of them seemed to noticed the girls had joined them. When Murphy was almost done with the sheep, he called his son to him and handed him the sheers. He quietly told the boy how to use them then went to the sheep's head. After the sheep was done and they let it go, they all looked up and noticed the girls.

" How did I do, Ma?" Gabriel asked with a grin.

" Looks good to me." Gabriella said. Murphy wiped his brow then came to them. He kissed Gabriella's forehead, then Aislinn's who smiled at him. He took her little hand and started rubbing her fingers.

" He's doing good. Don't worry, Lass." He said softly to Gabriella. She placed a hand on his chest.

" I'm sure he is. I know you won't let him help if he wasn't ready."

" We aren't gonna let him hold the legs." Murphy let Aislinn's hand and took a hold of Liam's. He started rubbing the baby's fingers. " With the more wild ones, he's just gonna watch." Connor was coming up behind his brother with a grin.

" What are you going to do with the wool?" Alexis asked as Murphy let go of Liam's hands.

" All our wool is spoken for." Connor said. " It's all already sold." He said. He took a hold of her arm and kissed her lightly.

" Daddy, when can I do it?" Aurora asked. Murphy grinned and went to his daughter. He swept her into the air, making her laugh.

" Ye got to be bigger!" He called as he held her in the air.

" Daddy!" She squealed. He smiled and brought her down the ground.

" Alright, Daddy's gotta to get back to work. Mind your grandda." He said. She took Duce's hand then.

" Aye, Daddy." She said. Murphy went back to Gabriella.

" Ye gonna stay and watch?" He asked.

" As long as the twins allow us too." She said. Murphy smiled and kissed her as Connor leaned in to whisper to Alexis.

" Thank ye for coming." He said softly. She smiled.

" You invited me, of course I was going to come." She whispered back to him. He smiled before the boys went back to work.

It didn't take long before Aurora asked Duce to take her to swing and they left the barn. The twins started to fuss and Gabriella and Alexis decided to go back to the cabin. Gabriella came forward and kissed her son's head then kissed her husband's smile. Connor looked up and winked at Alexis when Gabriella told them they were going back. The girls chatted lightly as they walked.

" So how did you meet Murphy?" Alexis asked. Gabriella laughed slightly.

" In a grocery store. He followed me through a few aisles, trying to make me notice him, which I did but he doesn't know that. I mean come on, how can you not notice a MacManus man?" She said as she waved to her daughter. " Anyway, he finally used a chart to hit mine, he asked me out but I turned him down. Four aisles later, I gave him my number and we have been together every since."

" And you left your family in America and moved here with him?" Alexis asked as they walked up the stairs to the cabin.

" I only had my parents and they passed away a few years before I meant Murphy. I didn't have many friends so I jumped at the chance for a change." She said. " What about you? How did you end up here?" Gabriella asked as she opened the door.

" Kind of same as you, I needed a change." Alexis said as she followed Gabriella to the living room. The girls came to their knees and laid the babies down on a blanket. Gabriella checked their diapers quickly before getting up.

" Let me get us some coffee." She said. Alexis rubbed Liam's belly, making the baby smile. She smiled down at him as Aislinn squealed and kicked her legs. Alexis laughed.

" You must be giving Liam more attention then she thinks he needs." Gabriella said from the kitchen. " She is such a diva, she needs all the attention all the time." Alexis rubbed Aislinn's tummy while making faces at her.

" Did you and Murphy set out to have this many kids?" She asked as Gabriella poured the coffee.

" At first we didn't have a set number of kids we wanted. We tried for Gabriel and after he got older Murphy said he wanted to try for a girl then when Aurora was about 3, I think, Murphy said he wanted to try again for another baby. When we found it they were twins, I was shocked but he didn't seem surprised at all. But we are done now." Gabriella said as she came forward with the cups.

" Well, your family is beautiful. You guys really work together as one unit, it's amazing." Alexis said as she took the coffee cup. Gabriella sat down and both babies' eyes went right to their mother.

" I'm very lucky to have Da and Connor. They helped Murph and I through all the labors and midnight feedings. But when you marry one MacManus man, you marry them all." Gabriella said.
