A/N: Sorry I haven't been updating. School's been… well, you know. Enjoy!

-8 months later-

It had been a little over 8 months since Javier had proposed and Susie found out of her pregnancy. It was the night before the wedding. Katey looked at her long, white, beaded gown as it hung in the closet. It had long sleeves covered with beautiful white beads. It was cut in a v-neck and had elegant beads arranged in the shape of flowers on the torso. The skirt was flowing and had a long train. Her veil was also long and had a tiara. She had always dreamed of this dress and was so overcome with joy when her and Jeannie found it. Jen and Susie had matching pink dresses. Susie's was quite large to accommodate her swelling belly. Because there were so many little girls in the family, Katey decided to have five flower girls. Josie, Juliana, Adrianna, Sam, and Rachel all wore matching pink dresses. Miles was the ring bearer. Tomas had a reading at the Mass. Javi was too little to do anything, but he got a cute little tuxedo.

Katey went to bed dreaming of the fortune tomorrow would bring.

--The Wedding Day--

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Susie screamed, waking up Pat who lay beside her, and Rachel in the next room.

"What's the matter, Susie?" Pat asked, putting his arm around his wife.

"Aaahhhh, it hurts," her eyes filled with tears.

"Are you having the baby?"

"I can't have it on Katey's wedding day, that's not right."

"If it's coming today, it's coming. I'll call your mom and take you to the hospital.

Jeannie met Pat at the front door as he dropped Rachel off. He sped to the hospital. Susie was in a cold sweat. Her nightgown stuck to her stomach, arms, and legs. She cried as she held her stomach. She couldn't remember feeling this pain with Rachel. She sobbed as a nurse wheeled her into the maternity wing of the hospital. As she was placed on the bed, Pat held her hand.

Finally, a doctor came in and looked at Susie. A grave look came over his face as he whispered something to a nurse.

"Come with me, sir," she said with a forced smile. "Everything is okay."

"Huh? What about Susie, is she okay?" Pat asked as he was escorted out. The nurse told him to wait in the lobby and they would call him if something happened. He sat and thought for a few minutes. Could he be losing his wife and new baby? He was really scared.

After a few minutes, he called Jeannie and told her what he knew. She said she was going to wake Katey and leave Bert and Javier with the kids. After he hung up with Jeannie, he called his own parents, who lived in New York. They never bothered with him much, so the turmoil in St. Louis didn't bother them much.

A minute later, Katey and Jeannie entered the lobby and hugged Pat. They sat sobbing as Pat told them what he knew.

"I'm going to tell Javier to call off the wedding," Katey stood up and walked to the payphone. Javier understood and called the wedding guests. Then he explained to Tomas and Jen what was going on.

Jeannie, Pat, and Katey perked up when a nurse came out. She had tears in her eyes as she beckoned the three to Susie's room. They held hands as they followed the nurse in the room. Susie lay still on the bed as the doctors operated on her stomach.

"She's having a Caesarean section," the nurse explained. "We think it might be to late for the baby, though, but the girl should live."

With that, Pat began crying. Katey and Jeannie put their arms around him to comfort him. The doctors began yelling things frantically and the three were pushed out of the room. They sat on the ground outside crying. Katey could lose her sister. Pat could lose his wife. Jeannie could lose her daughter. They didn't even think the baby was going to make it.

They looked up when they heard a sharp "waaaaaahhhh" fill the air, but to their dismay, it was coming from a healthy baby in another room who was probably being placed in the arms of a loving mother.

Katey laid her head against the door, hearing something encouraging.

"Get them to some oxygen, the girl's fine, save the little ones," someone yelled from inside. Katey, Jeannie, and Pat looked at one another and forced a smile. Them?

A few hours later, Katey, Jeannie, and Pat were allowed to see Susie. She was asleep on the bed. Pat went over and kissed her forehead and held her hand, happy to see his wife alive. Two nurses came in, each carrying what looked like a fluffy pink blanket.

Susie awoke at the touch of Pat and smiled. "Where's the baby?"

"Right here," a nurse said. "Congrats, twins."

The first nurse handed Susie her bundle. The second nurse gave the other baby to Pat. Susie and Pat smiled as they looked at their beautiful, identical twin girls.

"We weren't expecting twins, and that one," the doctor pointed to the baby in Susie's arms, "is the younger one. She didn't get enough air. That's why there were so many complications."

"Like a miracle," Susie muttered, softly stroking the baby's cheek.

"Can we name this one Maggie?" Pat asked.

"Sure, Maggie and Megan."

Katey called Javier and told him and Bert to bring the kids down. Rachel was eager to see her new sisters, while the other kids were eager to see their new cousins.

"Katey and Javier, I'm sorry I messed up your wedding," Susie said.

"Don't worry, weddings can be postponed. Sisters can't be replaced," Katey said, smiling. Katey and Susie hugged and cried.
