It would be a few hours before Liam was really allowed visitors. He was doing well but he was not allowed visitors in recovery and he would be limited to two visitors when he got back into the NICU. So Tony and Ziva ended up sending the kids home. Eliana and Jared, and Holly and Chris had gone home to check on their babies and get some well deserved rest. While Nate had gone back to Sean's apartment.

Eliana changed into her pajamas and walked into her daughter's room. Destiny was asleep for now but Eliana knew enough to know that probably would not last for long. She made sure that the baby monitor was working and gently stroked her daughter's hair. She passed Jared's bedroom on the way back to her own. She looked through the open door and saw him already fast asleep on the bed. She turned into her own room, flipped on the baby monitor, climbed into bed, and closed her eyes. She had barely been asleep ten minutes when she heard Desi crying, letting out a groan she pulled herself out of bed and drug herself down the hall to her daughter's room. She picked Desi up and held her close. She really was blessed. Her life had not exactly worked out the way she had wanted but she already could not imagine life without her baby girl. Desi was so beautiful, so strong, and so smart, but more importantly. She was so healthy. Seeing what Liam was going through. What he had endured and facing an uncertain future. At least he was doing better now and at the moment it looked as if he would survive.

"I can't wait til you can meet your aunts and uncles, and cousins. I know it may be a little confusing having aunts and uncles who are the same age as you but it will make sense one day. I am especially looking forward to you meeting your Uncle Liam. He is really sick now but I know that he will be OK soon." Eliana explained.

Nate entered Sean's apartment and tossed his keys on the table. He was surprised to find Sean's sister sitting at the counter and their mom was preparing something across from her. He grabbed an apple out of the basket and took the seat beside Mary Margret.

"Hi, Nate." Mary Margret greeted.

"Hi M&M." Nate replied.

"How's your brother doing?" Sean's mom, Natalie asked.

"So far so good." Nate replied.

"That's good, of course Harris cannot tell me anything but he sounded happy when we were talking on the phone." Natalie explained.

"I don't know much either. He isn't allowed visitors yet and when he is, my parents will go first. Sean and I will probably go by later." Nate explained.

"So you finally told your parents?" Natalie asked.

"Not yet, I was going to tell them last night but then Liam was so sick. I will do it when the time is right." Nate explained.

"Sweetheart the time will never be right time. Just tell them and if they can't accept you wash your hands of them." Natalie explained.

"I guess you're right." Nate sighed.

"Nathan it will be OK." Natalie assured.

"The first person I came out to was my maternal half brother Nicholas. We have always been close but after I told him he told me that I was dead to him. He was all I had left of my mom. When I lost him. I lost family. I can't lose anymore family." Nate explained.

"As long as you are with our Sean, you will have family but honestly your step-mother taught Adrian and Mary Margret and she just seems so accepting and wonderful." Natalie explained.

"True" Nate replied.

Holly sat on the floor of "Noah's room", not the room of her eldest son but the closet that held her memories of her twin. She was missing more than she had in a long time. Maybe it was the depression she had felt since the twins were born, the disappointment she felt in herself that she was fine when Noah was born or maybe it was her fears for Liam. Whatever it was she felt so alone, so isolated so afraid. She heard footsteps behind her and looked up to see Chris. He sat down beside her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"You alright?" Chris asked.

"No" Holly admitted.

"What's wrong? Worried for Liam?" Chris asked.

"Yeah but Chris, I think I have postpartum depression." Holly admitted.

"Delilah had that after John was born and my mom got it after me. It's bad." Chris commented.

"I know" Holly replied.

"I am sorry that this is happening but you will be OK. I will take you to the doctor tomorrow or we can go to the ER now if you need to." Chris assured.

"Why didn't I feel this way with Noah? Am I failing the twins?" Holly asked.

"No it just happens sometimes and I think it is more common after the second pregnancy." Chris explained.

"What if they resent me?" Holly asked.

"They won't resent you." Chris assured.

"I hate feeling this way." Holly confessed.

"I hate seeing you this way." Chris replied.

"I do love them." Holly remarked.

"I know" Chris assured.

Tony and Ziva sat by Liam's crib. So far the smallest and sickest quadruplet was recovering but he still had a long way to go. He had been given a full body cat-scan and to the relief of his doctors and parents. He was free of any other cysts, the cyst found in his heart had been sent to the lab for testing but the doctors were cautiously optimistic that it would be only a cyst or maybe a benign tumor. However if it were cancerous they would give him a preventive course of chemotherapy and hopefully he would be found to be just fine.

"I am so glad that Liam is OK." Ziva commented.

"Me too but I think it's a little soon to declare him OK or not." Tony replied.

"Try to be positive." Ziva remarked.

"I am but I hate when my kids are sick." Tony replied.

"Me too" Ziva agreed.

"Oh My God!" Tony cried out of the blue.

"What is it?" Ziva asked.

"Look" Tony replied, pointing down.

"Oh Tony" Ziva gasped, looking into her son's crib.

Liam was lying on his back, looking up at his parents. He had a big smile on his face and his green eyes were wide and alert, but most importantly his little hand was wrapped tightly around Tony's finger.

"He's going to be OK." Tony sniffed.

"He's going to be OK." Ziva agreed.

A/N: It looks like Liam is finally going to be OK but now Holly is having issues. At least Chris has her back and won't let her fall apart too much. New chapter will be up soon. Please review and thanks for reading.
