I don't make any money and I am just trying to have some fun. This is my first so please be nice? I love some constructive Critism, but flames are just mean. PS, if you couldn't tell by the name, I am a BABE all the way, so hang in there ladies, this is for all you Babes. Cupcake fans bear with me, Joe is a good guy and he is portrayed as so in this story.

Ranger's POV-

As scared as I was for Stephanie, it was a miracle to see them continuing to take the small screaming babies from her body. Five of them. All boys and all mine. Ours. Our children. The babies were taken to the NICU for observation, but the doctor said he didn't think that they would be there for long. They seemed to be healthy although a little underweight. The heaviest baby was 2 lbs and 15 oz. So tiny. I stayed by Stephanie's side until she was comfortable in her room and then I went to tell everyone the good news.

"How is she?" Lester asked looking a little worse for the wear. He had obviously been sweating and wearing a hole in the floor.

"She is ok. She was bleeding heavily for a little while but they got it stopped. The babies are fine and I have Polaroids to pass around since they are in the NICU for the night. All five healthy baby boys."

"Ok man, you go take care of Stephanie. We'll be here." I nodded and hurried back to her room before she woke up. I sat in the chair by her bed and held her hand while she slept. It was over an hour before her blue eyes opened and stared into mine. Her free hand shot to her stomach and her eyes asked the question she was too afraid to voice.

"The boys are all fine. All five of them. As soon as the doctor says you are up for it, I'll wheel you up to the NICU to see them."

"There will be no need for that. The boys have been moved to the regular nursery. They seem to be just fine. Breathing on their own and everything. I just need to take Ms Plum's vitals and then you can wheel her over to see her boys." A nurse said as she bustled into the room and went about poking and prodding.

Stephanie never said a word until we were at the nursery. "Can you get everyone else? I need them here for this part." She said staring with tear laced eyes at her children.

"Sure. I'll be right back." I ran down the hall to get the guys and brought them to the nursery. Stephanie was inside sweet talking the nurse and motioned for us to come in when she saw us.

She picked up a baby and handed one to Tank, then Lester, then Bobby, then Joe, and then me. "Now I want you to choose the name for the baby you are holding. You are these boys' godfathers, well except you Ranger. That baby's godparents are Ella and Louis. But I want you to pick their names and bond with them for a minute. You are all partially responsible for them making it into the world and I want to thank you by doing this." She smiled and sat back in her wheelchair while watching us intently.

"This one isn't like the others. He is the biggest and looks the most like me, so do you mind if I name him Ricardo Carlos?" I asked. She smiled brightly and shook her head. The nurse wrote down the name on his little tag and placed it on his bed.

"Well, this one looks nothing like me." Tank said with a chuckle. "What do you think Lula? Does he look like an Alejandro Cesar to you? Look at all that hair." Lula just nodded, tears pouring down her face.

"I think that this little guy is definitely an Armando Luis." Lester said holding the baby as if it were something that he did everyday.

"Well I am gonna go with the Spanish theme and name this one Vincenzo Ramon." Bobby added. His eyes looked dangerously wet too.

Joe was the last to say anything, he was enthralled with the baby in his arms. Finally he looked up and smiled. "This one is the littlest and most delicate looking. I am gonna veer away from the other names and name this one in Italian. Say hello to Matteo Stephan after his beautiful mother. Stephanie just smiled with tears rolling down her face as the guys put the babies back in their little cribs and each filed out after giving her a kiss. I wheeled her back to her room and settled in for the big talk.

As soon as I opened my mouth she just shook her head and smiled again. "What happened before is in the past. If you want to be a part of my life, and your children's lives, then we are just going to start fresh ok?" I nodded as I was once again reminded why I love this woman so much.

"One day at a time?" I asked. She just nodded and lay back in her bed. "What do you say to starting off this fresh relationship with a trip to the Batcave."

"Is the Batcave child ready?" She raised an eyebrow. She must have been practicing for her future battles with the boys because she pulled it off just like a mother would.

"Not yet, as of now it is nothing but an empty plot of land, but I want you to help me put everything into what a home should be. I have put off building it for so long. I don't know anything about building a home. A house I can do, but as far as I can tell, you are my home and without you that is all it would be. What do you say?" Stephanie grinned and pulled me in for a long slow kiss.

"I think that you need to get the contractors started because we are gonna need the room and fast." We both started to laugh and it was the beginning of a great future.
