Nothing could have prepared Jonsey to hear the news that he was the father on twins.
Mary Ellen had been in labour for hours, much longer than it had been with John Curtis. Olivia and Emma had helped her all the way through while still trying to have a home birth. And at twelve o'clock the next afternoon, Clay and Katie Jones were brought into the world.
"John Curtis, you're a big brother." Emma said, rubbing at her eyes and yawning before sinking into the armchair.
"Really? Darn, I really am?!"
The nine year old dashed into the bedroom after his stepfather. He was becoming more like Curt everyday, but had his mother's eyes. Emma reluctantly stood back up and wobbled into the bedroom, where the new parents sat. Mary Ellen smiled over, and she smiled back. They still had a special bond.
Olivia took Emma's arm as they walked toward the door. "I love seeing new grandchildren."
"It seems like we'll be having lots of babies coming to stay." Erin commented that Sunday, when the whole family had come to the house.
"Do you mean..." John started to smile, and cheers went up as Paul nodded. A tired Mary Ellen shared a glance with Toni, who blushed and smiled at Jason before announcing that they were having a baby as well.
