"Daddy!" Elizabeth yelled running to her father and throwing herself at him.

"Hi honey," James said picking up his daughter.

"Hey honey," Jess yelled from the kitchen.

"How are you today?" James asked kissing his wife's cheek.

"I've been better," Jess said.

"I'm sorry babe," James said setting down his daughter so she could run to play with her cousins.

"I guess I'll forgive you this time," Jess said.

"Thanks," James said kissing his wife while rubbing her stomach and feeling their children within stirring.

"Have you rested at all today?" James asked pulling away.

"Why yes doctor," Jess said.

"Jess?" James asked knowing his wife.

"Yes I was until Ally brought the kids back," Jess said.

"Where are they?" James asked surprised not to find Allison or Robert in the house.

"They're at the hospital catching up on work. They'll be over along with dad afterwards," Jess said.

"Can I help you with anything?" James asked.

"Yeah watch the children while I finish dinner," Jess said.

"I think I can do that," James said stealing a carrot before going to play with the kids.

Over the last two years Jess had finished school and was currently working with her father. Her father now had a team of four. Eric had left for a year to work at another hospital but found that he missed the team too much so he and his wife came back.

Ally and Rob had gotten married four months after James and Jess had. They were pregnant by time they got back from their honeymoon. Eric and his wife had two boys who were twins. They were currently with her and would be over later tonight alone with Eric and Sam, his wife.

Brandon had taken his dream job and did get married. His boss hadn't liked it but knew that what his daughter wanted she got. She wanted his best chef and she got him. They were currently expecting their second child in December. Jess and Brandon were close friends and talked on a regular basis. They took the kids out every weekend because they were all fond of each other. But life hadn't been all peaches and cream over the last two years. The biggest blow coming six months after Jess and James were married.

Elisa had died while giving life to their twins. It'd been too much of a strain on her body. Greg hadn't been the same since then. Had he not had the twins he would have followed her. He and the twins lived with Jess and James. He'd told them that he'd just be in their way but Jess wouldn't take no for an answer. She told him that he was moving in and that was final. Greg was happy to have his daughter because she and the twins were his light on the dark days.

Later that night…

After dinner the adults got all the children asleep in the children's rooms. Then they played cards. They all finally left about 12:30 p.m.

Lisa had finally gotten that baby she so much wanted. He was born two days ago and that's why she'd been unable to come. She's use the sperm bank to get pregnant. Little did she know that one of her male doctors was the father of her son. She wouldn't know that until he was older. All she knew was he was perfect in her eyes.

Ok first off thank you for all the kind reviews!!!!

Second that's the end folks

Now I was thinking of maybe showing Elizabeth looking for her father when she was older. And maybe what she ends up finding out. Would anyone be interested? If not that's totally fine.
