Note of change: I have some bad words, so if you're not old enough, I'm warning you now!
A/N: Getting towards the end! Please R & R! I love getting those and they inspire me to post faster! Happy Holidays!
AA/N: Also, I have in here that Kim would sound like the Dixie Chicks lead singer. If you don't think so, that's fine, but in my AU she does, just go with it, it fits my story. Okay?!

The next morning at 7:00am, Teri went with Kim to the hair salon where they were going to meet Kim's damas.
"They're going to freak. 'Specially Chrissy and Jacey. They're in it too. Jacey's my muneca girl. She's gonna match me EXACTLY." Kim said happily swinging her feet as the lady started on her hair.
"Can't wait. Gosh! I'm so nervous!" Teri said puffing her cheeks out.
"Tell me about it!" Kim said nibbling on her lip.
"Oh, me and dad talked about names last night. We want your input, but we got a few ideas I've thought of from different places. Got the names from the Bible, from family, and the favorites. Which do you want first?" Teri said.
"Um, start with the top, end with your favorites." Kim said getting excited. She loved being a part of naming not one but two human beings for the rest of their lives. And beyond.
"Okay, Isaiah and Ezekiel or Mateo and Micah from the Bible; Sebastian, dad's father, and Keifer is a fave. But he liked Kaleb and Kristofer with a K. Grandpa Kaleb and I thought of Kristofer." Teri suggested, waiting for her response. Kim thought for a moment.
"Love Kaleb...Kristofer's alright...but.." Kim said, a little sparkle in her eye.
"What? Spill it squirt. You get to help too." Teri said, egging her on.
"Okay, I LOVE this name. And you can put a K in front to match...How 'bout Kristian?" Kim suggested, cringing for a remark.
"Kristian..hmmm...Kimberly, Kaleb, and Kristian..I love it! Thanks sweety!" Teri said grinning, nearly crying.
"Cool! I love matching families!" the hairdresser said, Rose.
"Got any kids?" Kim asked, curious.
"Yep!..Hunter, Hannah, Heath, and little Hope. All under the age of 11." Rose said pointing to a picture in the mirror.
"Adorable! Oh look the Collins are here! Mami, go hide!" Kim said shooing her away. Teri got up waddling to the back of the salon.
"Hey Birthday girl! So do you feel 16 now?" Mary said as a sleepy Jacey snuggled in her arms.
"Um..How do the names Kaleb and Kristian sound to you?" Kimberly said mischievously.
"Umm.they're cute...why?" Mary said as Jacey perked up and Chrissy looked at her all questioningly.
"Well..just needed an opinion on my soon-to-be baby brothers names. They go well with Kimberly, no?" Kimberly said all non-chalantly.
"Kimberly Anne Bauer, WHAT'S got into you?" Mary said as Chrissy looked at her all puzzled and asked.
"Are you ADOPTING someone?"
"No..actually, Mary, I'm great. Wait, make that WONDERFUL.Hold on...Hey, Mami?! They like the names for my twin brothers!" Kimberly yelled to the back. Teri came waddling out, tears falling, hands clasped over her mouth.
"Omiga..it's an angel!" Mary said in total shock, sliding little Jacey to the floor.
"Ma-mee? Er an-ghels fad?" Jacey said innocently looking at Teri. Kim laughed, shaking her head.
"THIS one is. Only it's GOOD fat! She's alive! We're safe now, so they brought her back. As for the 'fad Anghel'. That would be my baby twin brothers..Hence the name game." Kim explained quickly. Mary walked up and hugged Teri first, then Chrissy and Jacey.
"Tay-tee!" Jacey giggled excitedly. Boy was their tears that morning as all the girls came. Last was Nicole, who came in a limo. "It's so nice to meet you Mrs. Bauer. You have a wonderful family and a great husband who risked EVERYTHING to save my father. Thank you too for what you had to go through that day because of it." Nicole said gratefully. Teri smiled and hugged her tightly.
"No, thank you, for being there for my daughter." She replied. After all the tears and promises to keep it hushed they did their hair and Nicole's limo brought them back to home where Jack was getting all the guys ready. He proudly showed off his wife to the boys, making sure to point out his two little boys coming.
"TWO, Mr. B?!" Eddie said smiling. He just smiled proudly, nodding his head. Keith was the one to get all teared up.
"Th-thank you Mrs. Bauer. For helping save my father's life and being such a great mother to Kimberly. I can see how happy she is now that you are here and that is priceless." He said sweetly.
"So YOU'RE the one after my daughter's heart. I can see she has good eyes. And you're very welcome. Thank YOU for taking care of her..Also, son's of the president or not I'll hunt you down myself if ANYTHING happens to my little girl, understand?" Teri said smiling the whole time.
"Y-yes ma'am..Gosh, you're scarier than Mr. Bauer." Keith joked.
"Told ya' so." Jack commented as he passed by.
"And you thought you were off scott free!" Nicole teased, giggling. Everyone laughed at Keith's scared expression. Once everyone was set they climbed into the HUGE! truck limo and they headed to the church. At the church, everyone waited anxiously as it began, and their wasn't a dry eye in the whole church after both Teri and Kimberly walked down the isle. Or a mouth not in danger of catching flies. The mass was about 45 minutes long; then they walked out to the entry fountain porch area and greeted the guests. There was where Kimberly and Jack explained it all, along with David Palmers help. Some press came to cover the events also, but Jack made sure not too much. Then they went to the beautiful park/rose garden to take pictures. After about 2 hours, they headed to the banquet hall to party. They first ate, danced some, and chatted for the first couple of hours. Then, under the stars coming through the huge skylight and some great lighting, Kimberly and her court danced the valze dances with her mother added in to her proper place of placing Kim's crown on her head. It was very beautiful and just before ending Kim through EVERY one by surprise. She sang. The only people to know was her court. Not even Jack. She got up on stage with 2 of her friends and sang along to the little band there. She sang songs she'd gotten from things she'd found while they emptied her mother's belongings out. The first song she sang was 'More Love' from her mother's diary novel. A poem she had written when her and Jack split briefly. Then 'Travelin' Soldier' from an old Journal that her mother had in Highschool. When she'd found it, she couldn't believe her mom never told her about this soldier named Angelil Kimber Johnson. He was her namesake. The 'old, dear friend' she'd told Kim about, where her name came from. The last was 'Top of the World'. She'd gotten that one from her father's writings shoved in a drawer, which she'd finished the ending with her own words and feelings. These all touched her parents deeply and both ended up with tears in their eyes. When she walked off stage to them, they both looked at her in shock. She smiled shyly and a little scared.
"You don't mind I did that, do you?" she asked quietly.
"No..just..I didn't know you knew about what I felt after.."Jack started.
"Not at all. I've always wanted to tell you about Angelil. And now I'll have to explain it all a little better. C'mon, let's start heading home." Teri said as guests left. They loaded up the limo with gifts then clamored in.
"He was a year or so older. He was my first close 'guy' friend. But when I wrote about 'love' it wasn't like me and daddy..it was the love of a very dear, close friend. Light love so to say. It's very sad..but I believe now, with everything, he was an Angel, guarding us now, helping me find Jack, holding us together. He doesn't have any family, parents, nothing. It's like he just 'happened' to be there. We've tried finding out more, but..it's like he's our guardian angel. Can't explain it. All I know is if he hadn't been there, I'd left that weekend away 'cause I was so depressed with my life I was going to go and leave; try to start over..I would have never stayed 'till I graduated, gone to where I'd gone, and met your father. He was my muse I guess." Teri explained through tears.
"Wow..that's..wow." Kim said, shocked and blown away.
"I've even tried looking for him, once we met and married and were expecting you. She insisted on calling you Kimberly Anne or Kimber Angel. I only got his burial number in Pittsburgh along with all the other Veterans. We got his dog tags and cross he wore." Jack said, pointing at Teri's small gold cross she NEVER took off, all to Kim's knowledge anyways.
"Gosh...wow..we-we have to go there someday..I want to." Kim said seriously.
"Sure. When the boys are big enough, we will. He'd like that." Teri said smiling sadly. They got home and tiredly went to bed, this time Kim in her own. She let her parents have some time to themselves. And boy did they ever. Let's just say, pregnant or not, they were BOTH smiling BIG time the next morning! (Hey!, How'd you think they got TWINS anyways!? They haven't seen eachother in 6 months! Give them a break! Hehe!)
Over the following weeks, the Bauer family settled into a family again, moving Teri's stuff back in, getting ready to grow bigger, etc. The extra room would be the nursery, so they started putting that all together. By Christmas, Teri was all settled in and about 7 months along now. Her due date was near Valentine's day, but...
"Ouch! Owww...Errr,.oh! I'm contracting!. It's too soon! Sort of. Well, c'mon Abrea..let's go wake...my gosh it's 2:00 am!" Teri realized; as she had been up to get something to snack on. She leaned over the bar rubbing her back.
"This'll be some time before I'm even close. Maybe even a false alarm. It's already been..what, 8 minutes and counting? I'll tell them when it's gets closer together." Teri said to the eager puppies. So she got the pups socky toys and went to the large living room and began playing quietly. About 1 ½ hours later Kim woke up hearing the jangles of the dogs collars. She sleepily got up and went to the living room. She squinted, not sure she saw her now REALLY preggers mother, half bent over tugging on Zein's sock doll in a dimly lit desk lamp light.
"M-mom? What-what're you doing?" she asked blearily, rubbing her eyes.
"Oh, playing with these guys until these contractions get closer." Teri said non-chalantly.
"W-w.con- conTRACTions! Mom! Are you in LABOR!?!" Kim said, yelling, fully awake now.
"Yeah, for only about 2 hours though.shush, you'll wake your father!" Teri said calmly, waving her hand at Kim. Kim stood there in shock, her mouth hanging open.
" For 2 hours! MAMA! JESUS!...DADDY!! PAPA!!!" she yelled, spinning around trying to run to there room in her socked feet. She pounded in and started yelling.
"Da.for 2 hours!..Jus.Jus...PLAYING with the dogs! Labor?! She.WILL YOU F***ING WAKE UP!??!!" she bellowed when Jack sat up abruptly, but didn't open his eyes.
"Kim..please..calm."Teri tried saying from the doorway, but couldn't when another contraction hit. She clenched her teeth and laid her hand on the doorframe and her stomach, closing her eyes.
"LOOK.AT.MOM!!!" Kim hollered, smacking his arm. He finally stared, then focused, then went ballistic resulting in him being in a tangled heap on the floor moaning in pain along with Teri going through her contracting.
"Guys..please...they're still like..15 minutes apart. We're early. It'll BE awhile." Teri said, standing up once the contraction was over. Kim just could not grasp her mother's sanity. Jack managed to free himself, get a sweat suit on and out to the closet in the hall for the baby bag. Kim was right behind him in her newly adorned warm up suit. They were out the door in less than 5 minutes.
"Gosh, wish they'd.ya know, TAKE the women actually IN labor to the hospital too! What babies do they expect to be seeing if I'm HERE still, having Abrea and Zein help me give to TWINS!" Teri said, standing in the hallway to the garage. Finally, they came back in, both walking very calmly, guilty stoned faces on.
"Sorry, hun." Jack mumbled taking one of her arms gently.
"Sor, ma" Kim mumbled out, taking her other arm. They helped her into the car in silence.
"This will be the BEST story to tell everyone!.OWW!" she said as another contraction came. At the hospital, hooked to all the monitors and such, Teri slowly progressed, and by 10:00am her water broke and it went quickly from there.
"So, natural, huh?" Jack said from her side. Teri nodded, gripping his hand tightly.
"I don't want a C-section, but an epideral would be lovely. I've had one child with no pain meds. Two at once would be TOO much." Teri said wide eyed. She was just getting to 5 cm, so they called in 'My future EVERYTHING' according to Teri as she grinned, completely relaxed.
"Can you feel THAT one?!" Kim asked as she watched the moniter show a big one.
"Nope!" Teri grinned as she settled down against Jack's shoulder. He was laying in the bed with her. She fell asleep, with Kim in the recliner chair, Jack dozing off as well, resting his head on Teri's. The room was vaguely lit with the sounds of 3 heart beats filled the room. 1 bigger and slower, and 2 smaller and quicker. That's how aunt Jocelyn found them when she quietly came in and found a seat. She took out the video camara and quietly narrated the scene then waited for the big moment since she was camara girl. It came a few hours later. Teri was at 10 cm and still couldn't feel much. She pushed with all her might and at 1:47pm Kaleb Isaiah Bauer was born at 5lbs. 3 ounces and 18 inches long and 5 minutes later Kristian Micah Bauer was born at 5lbs. 1 ounce and 18 inches long. Kimberly proudly wore her 'I'm a Big Sister Today.TWICE!' t-shirt and cuddled her tiny brothers.
"Hi. I'm your big sister Kimberly. I'm gonna be the BEST big sis ever, teaching you ALL the things mommy and daddy don't want you to learn!" Kim said through tears, Aunt Jocelyn getting it all on tape. Shortly after that Teri was konked out after the doctors took the babies to the NICU to be observed since they were early, but very healthy. Big sister was strapped to their sides the whole time. The nurses allowed her to stay in the NICU with them, even got two matching blue bracelets like her parents to wear. They watch the news a lot and knew of the Bauer family and all they had been through. Once they were cleared of any problems, they even let her push them in the one incubator the nurses had them in together back to her mother's room. Kim pushed them passed the Palmers on the way.
"Mr. President, I'd like you to meet your god sons, Kaleb Isaiah and his 5 minute younger twin Kristian Micah." Kimberly said proudly.
"Isaiah? That's MY middle name too! Neat!" David said gazing at them. Keith and Nicole each placed a tiny stuffed rattle toy next to both of them. An elephant for Kaleb and a white tiger for Kristian.
"How'd you know?" Kim asked awed. Kaleb's room was themed elephants and noah's ark, while Kristian's was white tigers and noah's ark.
"Little birdies?!" was all Keith would say. In 3 days Teri and the babies went home and by Valentine's Day they were visiting Angelil Kimber.
"This is to you, guardian angel. Happy Valentine's Day." Kimberly said placing a heart shaped thick cardboard picture frame with the whole Baure family in it, just taken the week before at home by a pro. It was there Valentine Card gift they sent to everyone. Teri loved signing those family cards.
Love the Bauers',
Jack, Teri, Kimberly, Kaleb, and Kristian.

"Isaiah? That's MY middle name too! Neat!" David said gazing at them. Keith and Nicole each placed a tiny stuffed rattle toy next to both of them. An elephant for Kaleb and a white tiger for Kristian.
"How'd you know?" Kim asked awed. Kaleb's room was themed elephants and noah's ark, while Kristian's was white tigers and noah's ark.
"Little birdies?!" was all Keith would say. In 3 days Teri and the babies went home and by Valentine's Day they were visiting Angelil Kimber.
"This is to you, guardian angel. Happy Valentine's Day." Kimberly said placing a heart shaped thick cardboard picture frame with the whole Baure family in it, just taken the week before at home by a pro. It was there Valentine Card gift they sent to everyone. Teri loved signing those family cards.
Love the Bauers',
Jack, Teri, Kimberly, Kaleb, and Kristian.
