"Congratulations, Mrs. Brooke and Mr. Blue, you're having twins." The doctor said smiling.
"What?" Judy asked shocked.
"Twins? That means two babies right?" Sam also asked shocked.
Judy woke up in a deep sweat. She looked at her clock. She had ten minutes to get her appointment. She grabbed her purse and headed out.
"Aaron?" Barbara asked as she opened the door.
Miriam came out of the back room. "He's getting dressed, it'll be a little while." She said to Barbara.
"Ok, Miriam?" Barbara asked as she followed her to the table.
Miriam turned around. "Yes?"
"I just wanted to say that I'm glad my son has just a wonderful person looking at for him."
Miriam looked at her shocked. "We look out for each other."
"Either way I'm just glad he has you."
Miriam smiled. "Thanks."
"Mom?" Aaron asked he came out.
"Oh Aaron, honey, I'm so glad to see you." She said as she walked over to him.
He walked past her. "Are you staying to eat with us?"
"No, honey, I've got to go." Barbara said as she started to leave.
"Thanks, Barbara." Miriam said as Barbara left
"Hey you." Grace said smiling as Eli finally came back into the house.
"Yeah, you can smile, you haven't been working to death trying to move your stuff into my room."
Grace walked over to him. "I'm so sorry, is there anything I can do to make it better?" She asked sarcastically.
"Very funny." He said sitting down at the table. "Now if you can please get me something to drink."
She laughed "I'm not your slave, get your own."
"Oh you say this after I've moved all your stuff into my apartment." Eli said.
"Yes, I do and what are you doing to do about it?" She said smiling as he walked over to her.
"I think I may just hug you, kiss you and rub my very sweaty hands all over you." He said smiling.
She kept stepping back until she ran into the wall.
He started to hug her.
"Please stop, take a shower, please I beg you." She said pleading.
He laughed. "No can do not until I drive you completely crazy."
"That won't take very long I promise you." She said. "Now please stop please…."
He stopped her by kissing her.
Lily cleared her throat.
They stopped and turned around smiling.
"Eli, how about you go take a shower." Rick said.
"That's what I've trying to convince him to do but does he listen to me." Grace said annoyed.
"Something you'll learn about Sammler men they don't like to do anything we ask them to." Lily said smiling.
"I'm going to ignore that comment and blame into on the fact that you're pregnant and I'm going to go talk to my son." Rick said as he followed Eli up stairs.
"Jessie, I'd like you to meet my horrible family." Katie said as they came into her house.
"Where exactly are they?" Jessie asked as she looked around the house.
"Or maybe no one is here." She said annoyed. She went over to the refrigerator and grabbed a note, she read it aloud. "Katie, we left, food's in the oven, use the cell if you need to get in touch with us."
"Let me guess they are not usually here?" Jessie asked sitting down at the table.
"No they aren't maybe that's the reason I haven't come out yet because they're ever here for me to tell them." Katie said sitting down.
"I wish I had the house alone for once in my life but no my house is always loud and full." Jessie said laughing.
"Well we have the house to ourselves so what would you like to do?" Katie asked.
"I'd like to send a lot of time with you." She said smiling.
"Mrs. Brooks um the tests aren't going to be back anytime soon. But I am going to call you when they get back. You know if I was you I would breathe a little. If you are pregnant then this stress isn't doing your baby much good." The doctor said as she put her folder down.
"Yeah I bet, but in my life there is always stress so if there is a baby in me it's use to it." She says as she started to leave.
"You know Mrs. Brooks, you might want to tell the "maybe father" he may just be able to relive some of this stress."
Judy laughed. "Then you don't know the "maybe father". She said as she left.
"Hey can I talk to you for a second?" Barbara asked as she came into Booklovers.
"Sure, I've got all the time in the world for you B." Jake said smiling as he waked over to her.
"I'd like to ask you to do something for me, for Lily, for Rick, for everyone." Barbara said.
"Sure, what it is it?" Jake asked.
"You know that Lily and Rick's anniversary is coming up next week and I would like to have a surprise party for them on the 11th, their anniversary." She said.
"Sure, I'd just have to check with Judy but she'd probably love the idea." Jake said sarcastically.
"You know Jake, it means a lot to Lily for you to do that even though she may not say it." Barbara said smiling.
"Hey can we talk?" Rick asked as he stopped Eli from going into the bathroom.
"Ok, what could possibly want that is more important than me taking a shower?" Eli asked annoyed.
"I wanted to talk to you about Grace." Rick said.
"I better get comfortable because this is going to take a while." Eli said sarcastically.
"Is there something so wrong with me wanting to talk to my son?" Rick asked.
"Yes, especially when your son needs to take a shower so he can spend much need alone time with his girlfriend." Eli said smiling.
"Ok what I have to say may affect that much needed alone time as you call it." Rick said.
"What you got some rules to tell me about or something?" Eli said joking.
"Actually…."
"I was just kidding about it but obviously you're not." Eli said as he took a deep breath. "Ok what are these so called "rules"? and you might want to tell me so I know what to break." Eli said smiling.
"Are you and Judy planning on having any kids?" Jamie asked Sam asked he walked into the kitchen.
Sam dropped the dish he was holding in hands. "Why are asking?"
"Because I was just wondering, so are you?" Jamie asked.
"Well we're not planning on having any kids today if that's what you're asking." Sam asked.
"That's not really answering my question which means that the answer isn't no." Jamie said annoyed.
"Do you want a brother or sister?" Sam asked.
"I don't think it really matter what I think." Jamie said walking off. "And I think the real question is if you can't take care of someone else's daughter how do you think you can take of your own child?"
"Ok well to start off with Eli's is not going to be treated any differently than any of your other boyfriends." Lily started to say.
"My other boyfriends what other boyfriends?" Grace asked annoyed.
"Let me continue." Lily said aggravated.
"If you must." Grace said sarcastically.
"I must, ok well then let me finish. What I meant is that Rick and I are not going to allow you two to get away with anything that let's say we wouldn't allow you and another guy get away with."
"And what exactly brought on this set of rules?"
"Does it matter?"
"Yes because I'd like to hunt it down and kill it." Grace said smiling.
"You know Mrs. Sammler I think you may be ready very soon to get rid of this cane." The therapist said.
Karen looked at her shocked. "You actually just told me something good, what's wrong with you?"
"Ok fine, if you rather me tell you that you will never be able to walk again because you're a pitiful excuse of a human being, then I will do it." She said.
"No, this is fine, I was just wondering." Karen said.
"Now you know that's your real problem you think way too much." She said.
Eli laughed. "You've got to be kidding me! This is nuts!"
"I never said I completely agreed with it." Rick said,
"Ah ha so Lily did suggest this." Eli said smiling.
"I never said that."
"Does she know that you use to let me sleep with my girlfriends in your apartment?" Eli asked.
"My guess it yes kind of, but this is different this is Grace." Rick said.
"And how does that change the ruled exactly?"
"Because she's my step-daughter, I care about her, and I care about you See the problem?"
"Not really, but if you want to do it this way then fine, I'll try not to break all your rules too quickly." He said as she headed into the bathroom.
