Kelly and Roger came rushing into the maternity ward waiting room.
"Did we miss it?" Kelly asked when she got to the group. "Is the baby here?"
"No, not yet." Maureen said smiling holding Rosie. Kelly walked over to her and picked up Rosie.
"Hey little girl, we missed you." She said kissing her forehead.
"How was the honeymoon?" Joanne asked.
"It was nice." Kelly said smiling as Roger came up behind her.
"We had a great time." Roger said kissing Rosie and then Kelly. "I still can't believe she's still in labor."
"I know. She's really having a rough labor." Mark said.
"How's Benny?" Roger asked.
"A nervous wreck." Mark said laughing. "You should have seen him when her water broke."
"Tell me you got it on film." Roger asked laughing.
"Oh I did." Mark said laughing.
"You two should be ashamed of yourselves." Kelly said shaking her head.
"Oh you know it's funny." Roger said sitting down. Kelly sat down on his lap with Rosie still in her arms.
"You do have a point there." Kelly said laughing.
"So how was my little princess while we were gone?" Roger asked while making faces at Rosie.
"A perfect angel." Maureen said.
"So you guys had a good time in Cancun?" Collins asked.
"Yeah." Kelly said smiling. Just then Benny came out, he had tears in his eyes.
"It's a boy." He said crying as everyone got up to congratulate him.
"Can we see him?" Roger asked.
"Yeah. Follow me." Benny said leading them back to where Allison and the baby were. Allison was sitting on the bed holding a little blue bundle.
"Hi guys." She said smiling. "I want you to meet Christian Roger Coffin."
"Roger?" Roger asked shocked.
"Yeah. It was Ally's idea." Benny said smiling.
"I'm honored." Roger said as a few tears came down his cheeks.
"Do you want to hold him?" Allison asked Roger.
"Yeah." Roger said walking over to the bed and gently taking the baby from Allison. "He's beautiful." Roger said looking down at the baby, who was a prefect mix of Allison and Benny.
"Thank you." Benny said smiling as Roger handed the baby back to him.
"So how do you feel?" Kelly asked Allison.
"Like I need sleep for the next five years." Allison said yawning.
"Well, we'll get out of here and let you three rest." Kelly said leaning down and kissing Allison's cheek. "We'll be back first thing tomorrow."
"Ok. We'll see you then." Allison said as everyone hugged them goodbye.
"Well now Rosie isn't the only baby." Kelly said smiling as they walked back into the loft. Everyone was too excited to go home so they decided to hang out at the loft.
"I know." Roger said smiling as he sat down with Rosie in his arms. "I can't believe they named him after me."
"Well you are one of his best friends." Mark said.
"I know, it's just a lot of things happened in the past." Roger said.
"Roger that's all in the past." Maureen said. "A lot of things have happened before but we're all past that now."
"Wow that's deep Mo." Roger said. "I didn't know you had it in you."
"Oh shut up Davis." Maureen laughed. Kelly got up and walked over to Roger.
"It's past her bedtime, I'm going to put her to bed." Kelly said picking Rosie up, who was fast asleep in Roger's arms.
"I'll go with you." Roger said standing up and following her into Rosie's room.
"I missed her so much." Kelly said as she laid the baby down in the crib.
"I know, so did I." Roger said wrapping his arms around her.
"Do you think her and the new baby are going to be really close?" Kelly asked looking up at him.
"Probably." Roger said.
"We should probably head back out there." Kelly said smiling. When they walked back out Collins was pouring drinks for everyone.
"Let me guess, this special occasion requires a toast?" Roger asked laughing.
"Of course." Collins said smiling. "To Christian Roger Coffin, the newest boho boy." He said raising his glass along with everyone else.
"So am I the only one who thinks it's weird that Benny has a kid?" Maureen asked.
"That's what you all said about me." Roger said.
"I know. But I mean it's Benny. I think we all knew that you'd have kids one day, Roger. But Benny? Be honest, you actually thought he'd have kids?" Maureen asked.
"I did." Kelly said.
"You did?" Mark asked.
"Yeah. I knew that Allison and Benny would have kids. I knew that right when they started dating." Kelly said taking a sip of water.
"Well I think you're the only one." Maureen said laughing.
"I think I'm going to head back to my apartment." Caitlin said getting up. "Bye guys. I'm glad you and Roger are back." She said hugging Kelly.
"We're glad to be back." Kelly said smiling.
"I'll be back in a little bit." Mark said putting on his coat and walking Caitlin out.
"I think I'm going to get going too." Joanne said getting up. "Are you going to stay for a little bit?"
"Yeah. Do you mind?" Maureen asked looking up at her.
"No. I'll see you at home." Joanne said leaning down and kissing her.
"And then there were four." Collins said laughing.
"So when do you guys have to go back to work?" Maureen asked.
"I don't go back until Monday." Kelly said resting her head on Roger's shoulder.
"I have to go back to work on Saturday night." Roger said taking a sip of his beer.
"Why aren't you drinking, we're supposed to be celebrating." Collins said smiling.
"I just don't feel like drinking." Kelly said.
"Are you starting to feel sick again?" Roger asked.
"You've been feeling sick?" Maureen asked.
"I just caught a little flu bug. It's nothing big, I feel fine now." Kelly said. "Roger just likes to worry about everything."
"I don't worry about everything." Roger said. "But you were sick for the last three days we were in Cancun."
"I know. But I'm fine now." Kelly said kissing his cheek.
"As long as your sure that your ok now." Roger said kissing her. "I think I'm going to go to bed now." He said getting up.
"I'll be in a little bit." Kelly said looking up at him.
"Ok." Roger said kissing her and going into the bedroom.
"I think I'm going to head out to. I'll see you kids in the morning." Collins said hugging Kelly and Maureen goodbye.
"Do you mind if I just crash here tonight? I'm really tired." Maureen said yawning.
"No problem. I'll go get you something to change into and a pillow and blanket." Kelly said getting up. She came back five minutes later with a pair of sweatpants and a t shirt.
"Thanks." Maureen said taking the clothes. "I'll see you in the morning."
"Ok. Night." Kelly said as she walked into the bedroom. She quickly changed into her pajamas and slipped into bed. Roger rolled over and put his arm around her.
"Today was eventful." He said.
"It certainly was." Kelly said smiling. "I can't wait to spend some time with the baby tomorrow."
"We'll go there first thing in the morning." Roger said as he pulled her closer. "I have to take Rosie to her doctors appointment at noon tomorrow. Do you want to come?"
"Of course I do." Kelly said. "I can't wait till we finally find out."
"I know." Roger said. "But she turns one in January and the doctor said the test will be conclusive then." Roger and Kelly had been anxiously waiting for the day when they would know one way or the other if Rosie was HIV positive or not. But the doctors said they wouldn't be able to know for sure until she was a year old. Until then they had her on medicine just in case.
"Whatever happens we'll deal with it as it comes." Kelly said moving to rest her head on his chest.
"I know." Roger said kissing the top of her head before falling asleep.
"Anyone one here?" Maureen asked as she walked into the loft. She listened for a minute before she heard the sounds of someone throwing up in the bathroom. She quickly rushed over to the bathroom and found Kelly hunched over the toilet. "Are you ok, Kel?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Kelly said flushing the toilet and getting up to rinse her mouth out.
"When did you start feeling sick again?" Maureen asked.
"About a week ago. It's probably nothing." Kelly said walking out of the bedroom.
"You need to go to the doctors." Maureen said with her hands on her hips.
"Mo, I'm fine." Kelly said sitting down on the couch.
"Obviously not." Maureen said.
"It's probably just something that I ate last night that didn't agree with me." Kelly said.
"Kel, when was the last time you got your period?" Maureen asked bluntly. Kelly's looked up at Maureen as her face paled.
"Oh my god." Kelly said putting her head in her hands. "I couldn't be pregnant." She whispered. Maureen walked over to the couch and pulled her into a hug.
"There's only one way to find out." Maureen said pulling her up. "Come on, we're going to the drug store." Kelly nodded and followed her.
Kelly anxiously waited outside the bathroom.
"Mo what does it say?" Kelly asked impatiently.
"It takes five minutes Kelly, it's only been two." Maureen said coming out of the bathroom.
"What am I going to do?" Kelly asked. "I never thought I'd have anymore kids."
"Well sometimes life likes to throw surprises at you." Maureen said.
"Roger's going to flip out." Kelly said sitting down on the couch.
"He'll be fine. Stop overreacting." Maureen said sitting down next to her.
"But what if…" Kelly began but Maureen cut her off.
"Don't even finish that sentence." Maureen said. "You know as well as I do the odds of you or the baby being sick are small if you get started on the right medicines." Kelly didn't say anything she just sat there until they heard the timer go off. Maureen got up and went into the bathroom to check. She came back a minute later.
"You're pregnant." Maureen said.
