This chapter takes place about 2 months after the appointment. Abby and Carter are now dating steadily and Abby is in her fourth month with the quads. Today is the day when they will find out the sex of her babies.

*********************************************************************** "Are you ready?" John asked Abby as they were getting ready for her check-up. "I'm so excited! When we get home, can we pick out baby names?" she asked with a twinkle of excitment in her eyes. "Of course, baby. And I have a surprise for you for later" he replied. "Ok then, lets go so I can get my surprise sooner!" It took them a while to walk out to the car, because Abby had gained 25 pounds in four months. They finally reached the car and they were on their way. They checked in at the desk and got situated in their room. Janet came in with a large smile on her face. "Are you excited?" "Very" the both replied at the same time. "Then let's get this show on the road!" janet said. By now, Abby knew the drill. She got up on the table, lifted her shirt, and braced herself for the coolness of the gel. Janet turned the machine on and put the contraption(a/n: I have no idea what that lil thing is called)on her stomach. "Are you sure you want to find out the sexes?" Janet asked "Positive," replied Carter. Abby nodded in agreement. "Ok-baby A is...a girl. Baby B is....a girl. Baby C is....a girl. And baby D is....a boy! Congratulations! I'll leave the 2 of you alone." "Thank you, Janet,"said Carter without taking his eyes away from Abby. "Well, what do you think, Abs?" "It's perfect, John. I just wish they were going to have a father." Carter smiled to himself knowing that his surprise that night would change all that.

When they got home, they went right to the couch to pick out names. "Ok, we need 3 girl names and 1 boy name," said Abby. "How about...Elizabeth, Amanda, and Kaitlyn for girls." "Those are beautiful names, but you still need one boys name and 3 middle names for the girls" he replied. "Ok, I've always liked the name Jonathan for a boy," she said, giving him a quick kiss on the lips. "How about Jonathan Daniel." "I love it and I'm honored. Now, middle names for your three little princesses." "Ok, Elizabeth...Anne. That's good. Amanda....Nicole. Yup that sounds good. And last but not least- acctually, I want you to choose Kaitlyn's middle name." "Are you sure?" Abby nodded. "Ok, Kaitlyn.....ummm...Kaitlyn.....oh, I got it. Kaitlyn Abigail." "That's beautiful, Carter. I love it. So, I'm going to have Elizabeth Anne, Amanda Nicole, Kaitlyn Abigail, and Jonathan Daniel. We'll call them Lizzy, Mandy, Katie, and Danny. Thank you so much, Carter, for everything." She leaned up and gave him a light kiss. "Abby, I would do anything for you and these kids. That's why I don't want them to grow up without a father. They deserve a good childhood and I would like to help you give them that. Abby, will you marry me?
