Julie left soon after and stopped by Ram's apartment before she headed to her house. She didn't bother to knock, just opened the door and went inside. She found Ram sitting on his couch, bottle of beer in hand, just staring at the wall. He looked up when he heard her and raised an eyebrow. "It's all good." She smiled at him but he shook his head. "How can it be good? Ranger wants to kill me, Ron called me a crazy SOB and Tank just laughed. How is that good? Rosie is the only one that liked it." She knelt down in front of him, placed the bottle of beer on the floor and grabbed his face in her hands. "Ramsey, it's fine. Steph talked to daddy and then I talked to him. He told me that I was growing up too fast, but he trusts me. If it's you that I want to date, then he's okay with it." Ram looked up at her in surprise and she leaned in a kissed him. "Really? I'm not going to die tomorrow on the mats?" She shook her head and climbed into his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and they spent some time kissing and they both let their hands roam on each other. Ram didn't push her to do anything she didn't want to, but when he reached for the zipper on her jeans, she pushed his hands away. He let out a sigh and hugged her. "I'm sorry Ram." He shook his head and tilted her chin up so she was looking directly at him. "Nothing to be sorry about, I didn't mean to push you. I…" She interrupted him and said, "No, it's not your fault. I know what you want and I want it too, but not yet. I want it to be at the right time and the right place, not on your couch, not in this building either, especially after that dinner upstairs." He smiled and leaned down to kiss her again. Eventually she had to leave and he walked her to the door. One last kiss and then she headed out the door. He stood watching her get on the elevator and right before the elevator door closed, she said, "Oh by the way, daddy said he'd kill you if you hurt me." She laughed when she saw all the color leave his face and his mouth hung open.
The next few months went by quickly and soon Steph was almost 9 months pregnant. Everyone was surprised she hadn't delivered yet, especially Steph herself. She was miserable feeling, uncomfortable, irritable and just grouchy in general. Julie had never been more pleased that she didn't live with them, a few hours of Steph at the office was enough. The night Steph went into labor with the twins, Ram was over at Julie's house for dinner. When there was a screech of tires in the driveway, Julie looked at the window. She saw Ranger running around the car and opening the back seat. He hauled Rosie and a bag out of the car and pulled her up the sidewalk to the front door. Ram had the door open before Ranger could knock and Ranger stopped in his tracks at the sight of Ram. Julie came out and reached out for Rosie. Ram grabbed her bag and without saying a word, Ranger kissed both the girls and took off back to the car. Julie led them into the kitchen and they fed Rosie and watched television for a bit before it was bedtime. Ranger's call came about an hour later that Steph was going back into surgery for a c-section. The doctors were concerned about the babies and didn't want to waste any time. He said he'd call again after it was over.
Julie and Ram, with Rosie sound asleep laying across them, were on the couch watching a movie when the next call came from Ranger. Julie answered it and put him on speaker. She nudged Rosie awake and said, "Daddy is on the phone about mommy and the babies." Rosie popped up and said, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, are the babies finally here?" Ranger laughed and said, "Yes my Rosie, they are finally here." Before he could continue, she interrupted and asked, "Well, what did we gets?" They all laughed and Ranger said, "You have a baby brother and a baby sister. What do you think about that?" Julie had tears running down her face and Ram reached over to wipe them away. "Daddy, how is Steph? Did everything go okay?" "Steph is good, tired, but good. She and the babies will be here for a few days before they can come home. Can you bring Rosie by in the morning?" Julie agreed and before they hung up, she asked, "What are their names?" Ranger said, "Cameron Carlos and Cassandra Carlina, both have about the same skin tone as Rosie and have Steph's blue eyes and neither one has much hair so we can't tell what it will be like. I'll see you in the morning. Love you all." Rosie bounced up and down, singing about her new brother and sister and it took some time and bribing to get her into the spare room to go to sleep. Ram stayed a few minutes longer and then with a long kiss for Julie, left and headed back to RangeMan. While they hadn't been officially dating for too long and had no idea what Julie thought of for a future, he felt a twinge of envy towards Ranger. A beautiful wife and now four children. How lucky can a guy get?
