A/N: Thanks for the reviews!
"Ash, are you ready for some visitors?" Craig slowly walked into Ashley's hospital room. She smiled, nodding, which was a good thing since eight of them; Paige, Ellie, Hazel, Emma, Jimmy, JT, and Toby—a crowded fit—followed him inside.
"He is so cute." Ellie walked over to the bed, looking at Jacob's face. "He looks a lot like you, Ashley."
"Are you sure?" Spinner got himself a close-up. "I think he looks more like Craig."
Before they could start arguing, Dylan walked in.
"Ashley, Marco has a surprise." Ashley looked up from her baby to the door where Marco entered carrying his baby, with a nurse waiting at the door.
"I'm confused. Marco has a baby?" She looked very confused.
"Her name is Danielle Paige Del Rossi Michalchuk. We adopted her yesterday." Dylan said, which confused Ashley even more. "We were approved a few months ago, but it was not until yesterday that the mother, Lydia, signed the last paper, and of course, last night she went into labor…"
"Jacob Christopher," Marco walked over to Ashley so they both could get a good look at each other's newborn. "Meet Danielle Paige." While both having brown hair and an olive complexion (do not ask me how they got to be so lucky), Dani had darker hair while Jake was tanner.
A few days had passed. Ellie and Sean had gone back to Wasaga Beach. Marco thought about how much fun he and Ellie had during her visit. He realized the most fun they had was when Ellie was not with Sean. He wished she would open up more about their relationship.
Standing in the newly decorated baby room (nursery, perhaps), Marco's thoughts turned to his daughter. Yesterday, before they picked up Danielle from the hospital, Paige took the two fathers shopping. They ended up buying all the essentials, especially clothes.
"You can never have too many clothes." Paige had said.
Marco walked in closer to see his daughter asleep in the bassinet. Her little fingers, so tiny and fragile, he could not resist rubbing. She really was the most beautiful thing he ever saw.
"Dani, you are so lucky." He whispered to the sleeping baby. "Some children don't have any fathers at all, but you get two."
On the other side of the small town, Craig and Ashley were not having the same luck.
Sitting in a mahogany rocker, Ashley slowly allowed it to go back and forth, but her son, Jacob, still screamed at the top of his lungs.
"For such a little thing, he sure is loud." Craig said, walking into the room. Ashley gave him a look.
"You're not helping." She said aggravated.
"You want me to help?"
"Yeah, sure. Like you can do any better?" Slowly, Ashley handed Jacob to Craig, and to everyone's amazement, he stopped crying.
A pang of jealousy hit her, but Ashley did her best to hide it.
"Looks like you've found yourself a new job."
Paige ran out of the boys' room, where she had been on the phone. Passing Marco in Dani's room, she grabbed him to follow her downstairs.
"Oh, good." She said, finding Dylan in the living room. "Sit." She ordered Marco. "I just got off the phone with Spinner." Ever since the reunion she had been talking to him a lot. "We had a nice long talk and I decided to move back home."
THE END.
