A/N: Forgive me if these chapters are too long :) Since I am leaving for vacation in 2 days, I am ending the story and posting the last chapters for your enjoyment. Trust me, I have already recieved a new idea for my next story, wether I like it or not *lol* But it'll be some time before I can start on it ;) Enjoy my next chapters!

Everyone settled in to the new spring routine. Spring changed to
summer, bringing with it the
usual heat. The pregnant ladies, including me, began to get rounder in
the middle. More so me,
since I was the only one expecting twin. It seems every week I had to
change into a new dress
size. Max was always teasing me about it.
Liesl, Maria, Eliza, and I would often get together and sew, knit, or
crochet things for our babies. We all wanted our babies sex to remain
unknown until birth, so we all sewed neutral colors such as yellow. It
was one of those afternoons with our pregnant ladies sewing in circle.
This time, Louisa and Lucy both joined us. They were working in larger
sizes, since they worked on their wedding dresses and new wardrobes.
Friedrich and Lucy had agreed with Danny and Louisa that they should
have a double wedding. The decided date was two months ago today. In
fact, next week was my due date. Of course, I couldn't do much with my
large belly, so I mostly sat and talked with the others. I suddenly
felt a wet sensation, and I realized what it was. Luckily, we had all
decided to meet at mine and Max's house, on account of my large size.
I quietly said to Maria, "It's time." Louisa quickly jumped up and was
the first to act. She went to get Max and ring up the doctor. The rest
quickly recovered from their momentary shock. Maria helped me change
into a nightgown, which I had already prepared, then helped me into the
bed.

After hours of labor, a piercing scream fills the room. Soon after, it
is followed by another piercing scream. The midwife turns to me with a
smile and says, "A boy and a girl."
In spite of feeling very week, I manage a smile, and look over at Max.
His face is glowing, just as mine is now. Maria and Liesl help wash the
two babies, and then they are placed on each side of me. I feel happy
and content and there is nothing more that I want.
"What shall we name them," Max asks with a smile, gently picking up the
girl, who has finished nursing.
"Why not Victor and Victoria, after my foster parents?" I say, looking
to Max for his approval.
"Victor and Victoria it is." He replies, stroking Victoria's cheek. I
feel deep inside of me that this was the life I was born to live.

Author Notes: I didn't write a birthing scene, for one because I did one in Homecoming for Liesl, and it would be pretty much the same thing. I hope you enjoy it anyways :) Please click the lil blue box and let me know what you think of my story!
