As Leah awoke, she looked petrified. Dec gave her a hug, and there were reassurances from all those present, including, and more to the point especially, Cade. Eventually she calmed down, not realising that Dec head slightly turned her power inhibitor down, so some of her calmness came from those surrounding her. When she was relaxed enough, Dec gave her a hug. Cooper smiled, blushing red.

"Sorry I made you, y'know, pass out," he said.

Leah gave him a shy smile and spoke quietly.

"That's okay Coop, you weren't being mean... well not to me... I woulda found out at the first scan, least I fainted in front of family."

"Yeah," Dec said. "At least it wasn't in front of the doctors."

"Most of us here have something against doctors," Jay said. "They tried to split us up when I got hurt. Hospitals are bad."

Cade looked at Cooper, then at Will.

"Well if there were any doubts about this story washing, Coop certainly got rid of them. He's definitely Will's kid. Using the truth to wind people up."

"We already knew that, Cade," Will said. "Scented it on them."

"Us too," the cubs said. Deak nodded his agreement.

"Definitely Will's," he said.

"'Sides," Jake continued," the bios all look like mom, dad, dad, Alec, Sophia and mom's parents and grandparents... we've seen photos."

"Yeah," Joe said. "Coop looks loads like Alec did at eleven. We saw school pictures."

Alec pulled a face as the cubs mentioned school photos, but nodded.

"Can't disagree with that," he said. "And I definitely see family in the eight Blake-Debonnaires."

Will nodded.

"Yeah I see my side in all of them... why are we giving you more proof? My nose says they're mine so they are, you shouldn't need anything else."

Cade held up his hands in age-old surrender.

"I never said I needed proof. I said if there were any doubts. Which there obviously aren't."

Matt nodded.

"Definitely no doubts," he said.

Will grinned and snuggled into Matt's side.

"I get my adopted kids before Tori turnedfive, and sixteen bio's without the pregnancies... Nice and easy... We're still having 4 bios though."

Cade gaped at this revelation.

"More kids?" he said. "You still want more kids?"

Matt just smiled, kissing Will on the forehead.

Will hugged Matt and looked at Cade.

"Yes." She said firmly with a slight glare.

Matt returned the hug, and turned his blank gaze on Cade.

"But no more bios until Tori's six, now," he said. "By which time the triplets'll be five."

Will frowned.

"Thats a big gap... or are you going to let me fill it with adopted kids?"

"Adopted kids occassionally," Matt said. "As the Templetons and Danni hit eighteen."

"One to replace each adult? What if I fall for siblings?"

"Then I guess I'll have to lose my tough alter-ego image and give in," Matt said with a sigh.

A huge grin on her face, Will hugged him again.

"Thanks Matt."

Alec shook his head, grinning.

"That's how you fathered 8 kids... well you're alternate self did."

"Yeah u gave in to miss insane," Cade added, then grined. "Good choice then, but not now, you got to learn to say no to her."

"Well, if ya offering lessons, Cade..." Matt said with a grin, knowing Cade had just as hard a time saying no to Will as he did.

everyone laughed. Cade blushed and sighed.

"Okay, okay. you know you'll end up with a hundred kids, right, she's insane."

"Not that insane!" Will stated. "Sixty-four is my maximum."

The laughter stopped, and several jaws dropped. All the Blake-Debonnaires grinned, and whooped simultaneously.

"More siblings! That's soooooooooooooooo cool!"

"Will," Alec said to Will, as if confiding a great secret, "in sane people's books, that classifies you as insane."

Will growled.

"Using the truth to wind people up again," Matt said, slowly. "There should be a law against it."

"C'mon, Matt," Will said. "It's not like I'm suggesting we go out and adopt another twenty-four tomorrow."

"No..." Ames suddenly spoke up. "But it's my eighteenth birthday tomorrow..."

Cade threw a cushion at Ames.

"Big mouth!"

"Hey!" Ames said. "She woulda figured it out when Nate started giving me birthday bashes in the morning."

"Speaking of which," Matt said, "I think we should all head to bed. Maybe things'll be different in the morning, Cade."
