sorry for the long wait guys! finals are kicking my butt.

Four years later.

Eliza opened the door seeing her niece, her face broke into a grin "hey Z! I heard you got engaged that's so exciting!" seeing the look on Zira's face her smile faded "hey.. are you ok?'

Zira didn't say anything and burst into tears. "oh no honey..." Eliza held her in her arms. "its ok, its gonna be ok"

soon they were sitting on the sofa. "I think i'm pregnant" Zira said softy Eliza looked at her, shocked "are you sure?"

"yes! I took like six tests.." Zira sighed "i'm 22 I still have student loans to pay off, I live with my parents, i don't even have a job!"

"does Willow konw?"

"not yet.. your the first person I've told. I think i'm going to tell her later today."

"how far along?"

Zira put her hands on her flat stomach "six weeks"

"your a month pregnant and you haven't even told anyone yet?!"

"I konw ok?! i'm working on it."

"what's it like?" Zira asked

"pregnancy?"

"parenthood"

Eilza sat back, thinking. "well, it's exhausting and really messy at times.. but it's really nice too. Like after I had Zinnia and I got to hold her for the first time out of all the exhaustion and pain comes, something wonderful."

"you konw your mom was only about a few years older when she had you, she was 26 i think." Eliza laughed "oh man you were a handful"

"by the way how did you end up babysitting for me anyway? I didn't think you liked doing things like that"

"I didn't ether it's actually kind of a funny story.."

22 years ago.

Zed was pacing with Zira in his arms, she was two weeks old. "shh baby it's ok" Zed sighed "you should take a break, I can take her. You've been up all night." Addie said

"well so have you" Zed said Addison looked at her husband "Zed, take a break, go get some rest." Zed looked at her "well.. ok only if your sure" Zed carefully passed the crying infant to his wife.

Zed went to lie down and Addie turned her attention to the crying baby in her arms. "hi sweetheart, you've been crying all night aren't you tired?" Zira wailed on. Addison sighed

Eliza came in. "you guys really need to lock your doors- is this a bad time?"

"no it's fine, your already inside anyway" Addie smiled "how's parenthood treating you?"

"how does it look?'

Eilza smirked "like hell. if that's what parenthood is like i'm never having kids" Addison laughed "you say that now but just wait until your my age"

"Eliza could you, would you ever watch her for a few minutes?'

"me? um I don't really have experience with babies.. even more so with newborns."

"it's only five minutes, I just really need a quick nap."

"i don't really-

"please?' Eliza looked at her then, the 26 year old looked so exhausted, she had dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep and even standing up she could barely keep her eyes open.

Eliza sighed "ok, but only because I love you."

Addison smiled gratefully, "thank you" she kissed Zira gently on the cheek then handed her to Eliza. Addie went to get some sleep and that left Eliza with Zira. unfortunately for her Zira was a really fussy baby and she had separation anxiety so when both her parents weren't in the room that just made her cry harder.

"hey it's ok kiddo, you remember me right? i'm your aunt Eliza" well that didn't help at all. Eliza really had no experience with babysitting, being an only child, exspet for Zoe Zed's little sister, but Zoe was 6 years old at that time, Eliza had never watched a newborn before, heck she hadn't even held one until last week when Zira was born.

Eliza sat down with her on the sofa. "I wish you could tell me what was wrong, then I could help you." Zira kept crying. "shhh" Eliza held her on her shoulder and rubbed her back hoping it would clam her down Zira stopped crying, Eliza had no idea why then she felt the spit up run down her back. gross Eliza though to herself "good girl" Eliza moved her from her shoulder and held her in her arms.

Zira grabbed Eliza's finger with her tiny hand. Eliza smiled "your my favorite, I bet you already konw that don't you?" Zira looked up at Eliza and yawned. Eliza grinned "you konw that, i can tell."

"Eliza?"

"hi Zed"

"how did you get her to stop crying?'

Eliza shrugged "I don't konw"

"I can take her.."

Eliza smiled "oh it's fine, I like holding her"

"your really good with her."

"thank you"

"well she puked on my back sooo.."

Zed laughed "sorry I should have told you she gets colicky."

Eliza didn't say anything, she was looking at Zira's tiny little Z-band on her wrist. "sense when did she get a Z-band?" Eliza asked softly Zed sighed "right after she was born"

"but she's half human-

"it really doesn't matter, you konw that"

"I just thought.. well I mean she's a baby"

"we had Z-bands when we were babies" Zed said

"yeah, I konw" Eliza said softly

000000

"yeah actually that is kind of funny"

Eliza smiled "see? I told you"

"so that's where that came from, the 'your my favorite thing' we said that to each other all the time when I was little but I never knew why"

Zira sighed "thank you, Hey I have to tell you a secret.." Zira whispered "your my favorite"

Eliza smiled "your my favorite too"

9 mouths and three weeks later...

*this takes place the day after the thunderstorm.*

the triplets were three weeks old and had been up all night. "there finally asleep" Willow said falling unto the sofa with her partner. the silence didn't last long tho Luna stated fussing.

Willow jumped up. "I have about 30 seconds to rock her back to sleep before she wakes up the boys"

Willow came back a few seconds later with Luna in her arms. "shh baby"

Willow did everything she could.

"hey I think-

Zira sighed "yep. give her to me" Zira pulled down a part of her shirt and held Luna close. "it's ok baby" Luna latched on soon she was done and Zira shifted her to her shoulder to burp her.

then the doorbell rang, Luna who was cockily started to cry wticth of course chain reacted the boys and they started crying too. "can you get that?" Zira sighed "i would but my hands are full."

Willow opened the door "Hi aunt Willa.."

"is this a bad time?'

"we have three new babies it's always a bad time" Willow smirked but let her in anyway. Willow went to get the boys "hey do you mind taking William for me for a bit?'

Willa smiled "not at all." Willa held the crying baby in her arms. "it's ok bud"

"they were up all night" Willa said rocking Zachary in her arms "a word of advice never have more then one baby at the same time, we love them but"

"its a lot" Zira said

Willa smiled "well it's too late for that" Willa put a hand on her belly Willow's eyes got huge "wait.. Aunt Willa your-

Zira looked at her "your pregnant?"

"yeah"

"how far along?'

Willa bit her lip. "six months"

"we were pregnant at the same time?! why didn't you tell me?" Zira asked "well there was a lot going on you girls had just found out you were having babies and it was a lot to take in, i didn't want to tell you yet until things claimed down"

Zira smiled "that's so exciting Willa"

"thank you, it's twins. Twin girls actually"

"aww your having baby girls! that is so wonderful" Willow smiled "our kids are going to grow up together that's so great"
