Catherine is over by the mirror getting ready for the naming ceremony, "Honey, are you getting the kids ready for the ceremony?"

Vincent then asks, "Which one do you want me to take, my love?"

Catherine looks over to Vincent and replies, "You can take Jacob, I will take the baby."

"Okay." Answered Vincent then looks over at Jacob, "Jacob, come here little man so daddy can get you ready" Jacob goes over to Vincent, "Hi, Daddy. What I wear?" "I don't know, buddy," answered Vincent, "What do you want to wear?"

Jacob answers with a smile, "How bout...sailor suit...Uncle Joe gave me."

"Okay, go get it while daddy tries to remember where he put the diaper bag."

"Okay, Daddy." Jacob goes to get the diaper bag.

"Catherine, do you know where the diaper bag is?" Vincent asks as he searches around for it.

Catherine looks at Vincent, "I think it's in the closet."

"Okay, do you need me to bring you the baby?''

Catherine smiles back at him, "Yeah, I'm ready for her. I think I will feed her before I dress her. So she doesn't get hungry during the ceremony."

"Okay my love." Vincent gives up his search for the diaper bag for the moment and picks up his cooing daughter out of the bassinet that Mouse carried back down to the chamber for them. "Hi my sweet baby girl." He hands the baby to Catherine and asks. "Jacob wants to where his sailor suit, is that okay?"

Catherine looks at her husband lovingly looking at their new born baby girl, knowing he is the best Father, "Yeah, that's fine. I think Joe will be happy to see him in it."

"Okay." Vincent kisses Catherine and goes to dress his son.

Jacob hands Vincent the outfit, "Here you go Daddy. I like this one."

Vincent replies, "Okay, let's get this on. I hope it's not as complicated as your sister's outfits."

Jacob smiles up at Vincent, "I help you, with it."

"Okay, come here," answered Vincent. He pulls Jacob to him and starts helping him change, Jacob puts his hand, and head through, to get it on. "All right, now just one more arm."

He sticks his arm through. Jacob goes over to Catherine showing off his outfit, "Look Mommy, like my outfit?"

Catherine looks at him, and starts to laugh, "Yeah, but honey, you have it on backwards."

Looking up at Vincent, as he says with a smile, "We're done. My love."

Catherine trying to hold back a laugh, but not doing so well, "Yeah, I can tell, just one problem."

Vincent looking at Jacob, then back to his wife, "What?"

"You put it on backwards." Catherine replies, kind of snickering.

"Oops. I guess that is a problem. Do you think anyone will notice? It was a little complicated."

Catherine trying to keep her laugh in, "Honey, I really think you need to change it. They will notice."

"If I wasn't feeding the baby, I would do it." Catherine replies.

"Okay, Jacob, let's go." Vincent replies, then looks back at Catherine, "No, my love we can do this." He grabs his son's hands as they go to attempt this again.

Jacob goes with Vincent, "Okay, Daddy."

Catherine finishes with the baby and starts dressing her, "How is it going over there?"

Vincent a little awkwardly, "Great! We're almost there!"

"OK, I am waiting. Almost have the baby ready." Catherine finishes getting the baby ready.

Vincent trying to stall, "Catherine, could you find my cloak please."

"Yes, sweetheart," replies Catherine then She puts the baby in the crib, and grabs Vincent's cloak, going over to him, she hands it to him. "Here you, go."

"Thank you, my love." Vincent still looks puzzled at the way that he has the outfit on Jacob now. "That's right isn't it?"

Catherine still trying to keep in her laughter, "Well, you almost have it. You just got to straighten this out a little bit." She goes straightens the suit out. "I know these outfits can get annoying."

They go into the library, where Father is. Father looks at the family, "Hello, I am glad you are here. We are ready to get started with the ceremony."

Vincent turns to Catherine and says, "Do you want me to give you the baby or do you want me to hold her?"

Catherine smiles up at Vincent"It doesn't matter to me."

Catherine looks up at Vincent, "Why don't I take the baby, and you can hold Jacob." Vincent hands the now sleeping baby to Catherine and reaches down to scoop his son up and they all follow Father over to the middle of the library, so that they can start the ceremony.

Father starts the ceremony.

"We are gathered here today to dedicate this new member of this community. She was born 3 weeks ago, and is now being honored by a name. We welcome her with love, so she would know how to love. We welcome her with gifts so she would learn to give, and finally we welcome her with a name, which I am sure, Catherine and Vincent have decided on a name for her." He looks at Vincent, and Catherine.

Vincent glances at Catherine and nods for her to say the name, because he announced Jacob's name.

Catherine smiles up at Vincent, and then looks at the community, "We have decided to name her Mary Marie."

Everyone comes over to greet the family.

Vincent then replies, "The name is to honor Catherine's mother; and to honor the woman who I see as my mother, Mary."

Mary looks up at them, and smiles, "Thank you."

Vincent smiles down at her, "You're welcome."

Catherine gives her a kiss and replies, "You are most welcome."

"William has fixed a feast for this special occasion, and all is welcome to join us all in the dining chamber. Come lets feast." Father replies.

Vincent hands the squirming Jacob to Catherine as he takes the baby. After the kids are situated Vincent grabs her hand and leads them to the dining hall. They settle the kids, and sit down themselves. As William and his help is bringing out the food that William has prepared for them.

Later that night, Catherine, Vincent, and the children, went up to their apartment, after saying Goodbye to Jen, and Joe; Vincent carrying a very asleep Jacob, and Catherine carrying Mary inside. As they head for their apartment as a family, Vincent remembers all the events of the past few weeks. Everything from Mary's birth to Catherine's comas and the uncertainty of the lives of two of the most precious people in his life. He hears Mary grunt and is so thankful that everything turned out right.

Vincent put Jacob in his bed, and Catherine put Mary in her crib, and Catherine leads Vincent out to the balcony, thinking of when they would meet there, when Vincent lived down below. She looks up in his beautiful eye's, as he looks down in hers, he gently leans down, and they kiss.
