"Got some people out here who for reasons beyond me seem to be awful anxious to see you." Who could that be? CC wondered. Na couldn't be Niles. He said it was people not person. He wouldn't come all that way just to see me anyway. But what if…. "Can they come in?" Max questioned for the third time. He knew this was stressful on her. He wanted her to be with her family, well somewhat anyway.

"I guess we can't keep them out, can we?" CC responded.

"You just try, sweetie," her sister said pushing past Max. DD sailed into the room. She took her sister's hands in hers.

"How are you doing sis?" Noel asked standing next to DD.

"Tried, very tired." CC looked at Max, and whispered a silent "thank you."

"How did the two of you get here so fast? I thought the storms would have…."

"Noel, well let's just say broke a few speed limits." DD told her sister.

"Is he…." Noel pointed at Max. "The father," Max left the room. He didn't want to get into it. CC sighed. Max thought it was better for the three of them to argue that out.

"No," CC shook her head.

"Then who," asked her sister.

"It's a long story, really long." DD pulled up a chair.

"Tell it all, well almost all." CC explained the curse, everything to her sister and brother.

"So, were is Niles? I would like to meet him."

"I like to meet him too. I would like to give him a piece of my mind for abandoning you like that." her sister's voice was full of anger.

"Now DD this wasn't his idea. It was…. It was mine."

"What?" both her brother and sister said at once as the door opened with a gush of cold air to match the moods.

"What are you doing, having our babies without me?" Niles asked making his was to CC and that bed. Max with Fran entered the room but stayed in the back. Max knew about Niles being the father but Fran didn't.

"I had to settle for second best." She chuckled.

"Thank god Max was there to help her." Fran commented from the back of the room.

CC looked at her business partner and smiled.

"I'm…."

"CC did most of the work." Max walked up to her.

"You try pushing out an elephant though a keyhole see how cheerful you stay."

"That's my….our CC." Niles corrected.

"Can we see the baby? Which way to the nursery? Fran asked the nurse as the nurse was leaving. "That's up to the mother if she wants someone to see her babies."

"It's down the hallway." CC tried to point.

"Are they okay?" Fran had to ask seeing how they didn't bring them in to see her when all of them were in the room.

"The doctors say that they are strong and healthy." Max reported.

"Of course they are." Niles commented, "They are…." CC gritted her teeth.

"Babcock's after all." He winked.

The walk down the hall way seemed to have taken them forever. They finally made it. Fran walked up to the glass and was looking at all the babies.

Niles wanted to see his daughters what ever their names were going to be.

"Max, sir." Max turned at Niles' voice. "I wanted to thank you for being there for her."

"Just a matter of being in the right place at the right time."

"I'm glad it was you and not some strangers. Even doctors I just…"

"No worries man. We got through it just fine."

"I know…" he breathed in deeply. Max patted him on the shoulder. "I had Sarah's help."

Niles smiled he knew what Max meant by that. He also had here help getting here.

"Look at all the babies in there." Fran walked back to them. "So two of them. Are CC's babies. Uh?" They are went up to the window. Which ones were mine Niles asked himself looking at the dozen on so babies in the room. The nurse in the room over heard them, brought two of them to the window. "Wave to daddy." She lifted the little one's arm and shook it gently. Niles' heart sank. Those two are so cute. I wonder if mine are that way. The nurse with the babies came though the door into the hall.

"Does daddy want to hold them?" The nurse walked over to Max with the bundles.

"They're not my daughters." He shook his head. "They're his." Pointing to Niles.

"Oh sorry." She smiled walking over to Niles. "I'll let you hold your daughters for a minute. Sir." 'Your daughters' the words sank in. These are really my daughters. They are beautiful he thought just like their mother.

"Sorry," Max whispered to his butler.

"She was going to figure out sooner of later."

"How?" Fran blinked here. She waved her hand about, not wanting Niles to go into details. "Wait I know but why?"

"Ok," Niles told the whole story.

"So that's why you were all nervous today. You knew something was wrong. That's why we "flew" down here."

"Yes," he sighed smiling at his daughters. "I…."

"Well I'm speechless." Fran commented.

"That'll be a first." Max responded.

"What can I say, they are….." Fran turned to them "they are beautiful Niles." Niles smiled at her. "I don't see how though." She laughed touching the babies on their noses.

"Thank you." he held them closer to him. They looked up at him with their tiny blue eyes, which he felt as if they were looking right into his heart, which only seemed fair since it was already theirs. A tear slid down Niles' cheek.

"First time father, uh?"

Niles blinked, "Of my own yes,"

"He helped raise mine," Max commented.

"Ut um…" Fran cleared her throat.

"With my nanny here." The nurse nodded.

"It's a great feeling to have some of your own."

"That it is." Niles cuddles his babies not wanting to let anything happen to them.

"Sir, we have to put them back in the nursery now. They can be released tomorrow along with your wife, I guess that you are married."

"All most well, I'm hoping that she's going to say yes." He kisses the babies on the head. "Sweet dreams little ones. Daddy will be back later to take you home." He whispered.
