A few days later, Horizon's first wish came true. On the 22nd, it started snowing for the first time. Then Shelby and Scott got their wish come true.

"They're coming home! They called at 8:00 this morning! Dustyn, Drakeyn, Jesslyn, and Braedyn are coming home TO DAY!" Jess screeched as she rushed into the lobby area. It was about 8:30 or so, everyone was still in their PJ's

"All RIGHT! Snow AND Babies!" David said smiling. Everyone cracked up at his sudden show of true emotions.

"Hey! It's Christmas!" he defended, not really caring they picked on him. Just then Shelby and Scott came rushing in, all bundled up, with 2 baby seats each and a baby bag each. Sophie was just behind them with 4 thick, and 4 thinner blankets.

"We gotta go. We'll be back ASAP. I'll call first, wish us luck!" Sophie blurted out to Peter and the Cliffy's as she went outside to the explorer.

"I'll have to lay down in the way back." Scott noticed, as all the seats were full.

"No way. I will not have one of my grandbabies in a front seat and my son in law rolling around in the back. We'll have to take the school van." Sophie said. So they piled into the van, making sure to secure the 4 infant seats tightly. Shelby got all misty eyed on the ride over because there was only 4. Sophie smiled sadly at Scott sadly as she saw him notice too.

"S'okay Shelbell. I want her home too." Scott said softly, touching her cheek gently. She nodded understanding and climbed out when they reached the hospital parking lot. As they made their way in, an elderly woman noticed all the seats and asked politely.

"Are ya' donating or something?" she smiled kindly.

"No, we're bringing our babies home today." Scott said strongly/proudly.

"4?!" the women replied wide-eyed.

"Well, for now. We'll bring our last one home later. She's still too sick." Shelby said evenly, smiling. The kind old lady stared at them a moment before smiling unsurely.

"God Bless you. You'll need it!" she said, still shocked.

"Thanks." Sophie said for them, holding onto the bags and camera. When they arrived at the NICU Room B, Shelby found Abby looking over the babies who were all in one crib, scrunched side by side, all in matching blankets, hats, and bumpers.

"All my little ones!" Sophie said, taking a picture.

"Well, you'll still have one to take care of, Abby. Sorry, but I'm taking as many of them as I can." Scott said jokingly. Abby did her last final check over as they change the four going home, Braedyn, Drakeyn, Dustyn, and Jesslyn, into their 'going home' outfits; Christmas print white jumpers, thick and warm, with light pink snow flakes on Jesslyn's and light blue for the boys. They had matching bonnets, pink and blue of course, and mittens put on as well. The seats were navy blue with yellow and white stripes on them. Once they placed them in the car seats, they tucked the lighter blanket all around them and their head bumpers, with the thicker blankets to cover over the top of them. Abby said goodbye to all of them, along with other staff members, as Shelby held Madisyn close to her. Now Madisyn was only hooked to a heart monitor. Nothing else.

"She's doing great. She'll be home before you know it." Sophie commented. Abby just smiled at that. She kept quiet though.

"I love you Mady. We'll all think about you, come home quick. Put mommy at ease." Scott said as he held her last. After a few more minutes of instructions and good-byes, Scott and Shelby left the NICU a baby in each hand, with a proud grandma just behind them.

"Stay here and I'll get the van." Sophie instructed as she pushed the rolling cart full of presents and stuff from the hospital.

"I can't believe that they are ALL over 4 pounds now!" Scott said as he sat next to Shelby in the lobby chairs, the babies lined up in front of them. In the seats, they looked miniature.

"Those your newborns?" a man asked coming over with his teenaged daughter. She was VERY pregnant.

"Yep. All 4 of these. We still have one upstairs. She can't come home yet." Shelby answered.

"How cute! Quints?!" the teenager responded, in awe.

"You don't look much older than me!" she commented to Shelby.

"How old are you?" Shelby asked softly.

"I'm 16..and a half." She answered, turning a little red.

"Well, not by much, I just turned 17 a few months ago. Name's Shelby. And this is my husband Scott, and THESE are our babies..Braedyn Daniel, Jesslyn Daisy, Dustyn Auggusto, and Drakeyn Patrick. Dustyn and Drakeyn are identicals." Shelby said like a proud mother.

"Wow! Cool names!" the teenager said smiling at the tiny babies.

"I'm Mikala. This is my dad Mike, and these are MY identical twins.girls!" she said rubbing her big belly.

"Must be the water around here..or a good lesson to you youngsters!" Mike said, only half joking.

"Dad! It wasn't MY fault! He messed with my drink!" Mikala said angrily.

"Sounds familiar. Only we shared the drink, so it didn't exactly work in a bad way. And since she was taking this medicine..voila!" Scott said, waving his hand over his kids. Shelby patted the girl's shoulder, understanding how she felt.

"He'll get what he deserves. I know Walter did in my case. Even though I couldn't imagine what my life would be like if I didn't have my babies now." Shelby said, smiling down as Drakeyn yawned a tiny infant yawn. (SO adorable!)

"What did you say? WALTER?! As in Walter Brimcoff?!" Mikala asked suddenly.

"Yes! Do you know him!?...Oh my gosh! He did this to you too!" Shelby said getting all upset when she saw the look in Mikala's eyes and put it all together.

"But he was PUNISHED for what he did to us! How did he get out?" Shelby said, looking lost.

"I'm 8 ½ months along. How long ago did he get to you two?" Mikala said anxiously.

"Like..maybe 8 months ago." Scott said angrily. He realized that Walter had gotten to Mikala first.

"Yeah, well you got him for the both of us." Mikala said, smiling to know that he had been caught.

"Here's my number. Call me when those babies have come. And I'll give you my lawyer's number. Let's keep in touch." Shelby said, handing her a piece of paper she had scribbled on. They waved goodbye then bundled the babies up to keep them warm and secured them into the van. Scott on the middle bench, in between two babies. Shelby in the second middle seat, between the other two, and all the stuff piled on the last one. They took off for Horizon; all thinking about the one little sibling left behind.

Little Madisyn.

A/N: There is the baby home going. Well, almost all of them. And it isn't home coming since they haven't actually reached home yet. By the way, I searched on the net to read about quints and stuff and found some neat web sites that had photos of sets of quints. That's where a lot of the scenarios I use came from, so you should check it out. I know some of the families' names I used were the Browns, and I believe the Johnson's or something like that. Anyways, if you just put 'quints' in the search and find photos or galleries, especially under family owned web pages, there are a lot of pictures that are just adorable! Just an idea I thought I'd mention to you guys!! As usual, don't forget to review, PLEASE!! I love getting them!! Thanx!
