The return of the NICU, Dianna comes home and Bella gets her ears pierced.
Kevin grabs a wheelchair for Dianna and takes her down where Gabby was.
"The NICU the old familiar territory" Dianna says when they approach the NICU
"Yup this is where Gabriella is" he says as he pushes her in and to where little Gabby was
"Hey sweet girl" Dianna says putting her finger in the incubator
As Dianna gets to bond with Gabby. Kevin talks to the nurses to see what's going on with Gabby.
"Dianna little Gabby has a problem with her heart, and if it doesn't heal itself they will have to operate" he says kneeling next to her
"My poor baby" she says stroking Gabby's little hand
Kevin sees that Bella is coming in still doing mini chest compressions on Ever-Rose
"Kevin wheel me next to Ever-Rose and you stay with Bridget" she says sternly
Kevin does what he was told and wheels her next to Ever-Rose
"Good job Miss Isabella we can take it from here" a nurse says lifting Bella off the bed and hooking Ever- Rose up to machines
As soon as Ever-Rose were on the machines she had a regular heartbeat once again
"How were you able to get both girl's down here?" Dianna asks her daughter
"I called Chloe and she came she pushed Bridget and I had Ever-Rose" Bella says out of breathe
"Why don't you go get a drink of water Bella" Dianna says patting her on the head
"Oh Dianna, little Isabella asked me if she can get her ears pierced cause she saved Gabby's life, and can she?" Kevin asks her
"Yes she can I'll take her when I get released on Saturday, and maybe me and her can have a mother/daughter day" Dianna says
"Perfect me and Tori can spend some together as well. That sounds like a plan to me we have a day out with each of the girl's" he says smiling
Ever-Rose had a little breathing problem, and Bridget is being tested for Epilepsy, and should be able to come home after Dianna is released from the hospital.
"Kevin I don't wanna be in here too long it's too much" Dianna says as she begins to cry
"Understandable sweetie" he says taking he back to the room
Upon entering the room they find Bella watch cartoons
"Bella the answer to your question from earlier is you may get your ears pierced I feel your responsible, but while they heal let me clean them okay" Dianna tells her
"Thanks you mommy" Bella says jumping on the bed and hugging her
"Come on Bella let's leave mommy alone let's go get your sister, and head to dinner" he says as they head out of Dianna's room
Once Kevin and Bella leave Dianna cries to herself
(That night)
"Don't worry Bridget, Ever-Rose and Gabby I'm coming" Bella says heading in the hospital
"Victoria I want you to in there and see mom cause right now she is not in a good mood right now, so march" he tells her as she gets out and heads for the hospital
Bella was in the NICU hanging out with Bridget cause she was the only one that wasn't hooked up to a lot of machines
"Hey Bridget how we doing little sister" Bella asks entering her room
Bridget seemed more calmer then she was before
"I don't know if I can hold you baby sis, so I'm just going to sit here by your bedside" Bella says sitting down
"Bella she has been stable for the last few hours you can hold her if you want, and you can take her down to see mommy and daddy" a nurse says lifting Bridget from the incubator and putting her in Bella's arms
"Hi Bridget" Bella says when Bridget was placed in her arms
Bridget looks up at Bella with her Hazel eyes
"Come on Bridget let's go down and see mommy and daddy" Bella says leaving the NICU
Along the way Bella hums some song to Bridget to keep her calm, and since Bella is taking singing lessons she ends up singing some songs as well.
"Mom, dad look was able to come out of the NICU for a visit" Bella says coming in the room with Bridget in her arms
"Hi there pumpkin" Dianna says as Bella hands Bridget to her
"Victoria come say hi to one of your sisters" he calls to her
Tori comes scuffling over to see Bridget
"Hi Bridget I'm your other big sister Victoria" Tori says looking at Bridget
Kevin got plenty of pictures of the twin with Bridget
"Well I'll see you tomorrow sweetie" Kevin says leaving with Tori
"Bye Kevin" Dianna says as he left
(Down in the NICU)
"It's okay Ever-Rose I got you" Bella says rocking back and forth gently with Ever-Rose on her chest
Bella told Ever-Rose some stories and sang her some songs while she fed her
"Bella I thought you went home with dad" Dianna says entering the NICU
"I decided after I used the restroom to come down and say hello to my other sisters. Right now I'm doing skin to skin with Ever-Rose" Bella says smiling
"She seems content on your chest at the moment" Dianna says sitting next to her
"She is mom I even fed her I sang to her, told her some stories, made silly faces" Bella says as she strokes Ever-Roses back
"This reminds me of your father cause when you were born you also had to be in the NICU for awhile
"No way" Bella says with her mouth dropped
"Yes it's true when you were born the umbilical cord was wrapped around your next three times, and you couldn't breathe. I had dad stay with you cause I was afraid I was going to lose you. How many machines are hooked up to Ever-Rose is how many you had" Dianna says touching Bella's nose
Dianna and Bella continue to bond with Ever-Rose until Ever-Rose went to bed. Dianna whips out her phone and records Bella singing Let it be, and sends it to Kevin
"I think those voice lessons are paying off" she tells Bella as they head for Gabby's room to say good night to her
"Hi Gabby it's me again I figured since I can't you I'll sing you a lullaby and it's another song that daddy loves" Bella says putting her hand in Gabby's incubator
Dianna records Bella singing Will you be there, and she zooms in when Gabby squeezes Bella's finger and doesn't want to let go, so she captures that photo and sends that to Kevin too
(The McHale's)
"I have three messages" he says when he hears his phone go off
He watches the two videos of Bella singing, and when he does the tears fall from his eyes that Ever-Rose & Gabby love their sister singing, and he at a loss of words when he sees Gabby squeeze Bella finger. He calls Grant over to watch Tori cause he has to go to the hospital and get Bella
(Hospital)
Since Bridget was doing better she was able to stay with Dianna to see how she fair during the night.
"There we go littlest B all nice and fresh" Dianna says after she changed Bridget's messy diaper.
Bella tells Bridget some stories and sings to her and she falls asleep
"Night my littlest baby sister" Bella says laying her in the bassinet
Bridget is the smallest one when she was born she weighed 4 pounds 9 ounces, and Ever-Rose weighed 5 pounds even, and Gabby weighed 5 pounds 1 ounce
"Come on Bella visiting hours are over" Kevin says coming in the room
"I don't wanna leave Bridget dad" Bella says protesting
"After we drop Tori off we can come back and see mommy & Bridget in the morning after we go out for breakfast first" he says
"Bribing her Kevin really?" Dianna asks
"I have to use something to get her to come home" he tells her
"Plus if I can't her back to sleep I'll call you and you can sing her back to sleep how's that sound" Dianna tells her
"Okay mommy" Bella says hopping off and going with Kevin to his car
(Two days later)
"Today mommy comes home and I get my ears pierced" Bella says excitedly after she woke up
"What that's not fair how come she gets to have hers pierced and I have to wait" Tori says angry
"Cause she's more responsible then you are Victoria when you come more responsible than you can get yours pierced" he tells her
(After Dianna was released)
"Bye Bella have fun" Kevin says after he drops Dianna off at the mom
"Will do daddy" she says getting out of the car
The first place they went to was the jewelry store, so Bella could get her ears pierced. Bella picked her first pair of earrings that she wanted to go in. During the whole time she didn't cry at all she was very brave.
"Bella I am very proud of you" Dianna says as they shop for the triplets
Since they were premature they had to get smaller clothes, and Bella picked out great outfits, and sleepers for her sisters. After shopping they headed to lunch then more shopping this time Bella went to Build-a bear to make each of her sisters a stuffed animal to have in their crib or with them at the hospital
(Couple hours later)
"Dianna what did you buy?" Kevin asks when they came out with bags and boxes
"Clothe for the triplets, and a stuffed animals to put in with them" she says smiling
