Trying to keep their voices quiet, Lidia, Mags and Stacy gazed into the window's on the maternity ward floor as they stared at the new born babies.

"This is going to be us in a couple of months!" Mags whispered excitedly as she saw a new born baby girl be put into a crib. "Aww, what did they name her?" The three girls squinted as they tried to see the name.

"Dakota Beatrice," Stacy read with a scrunched nose. "Oh my...Hey, what's that one say? Tanzanite? Wow...They named the kid after the birthstone. How tacky."

Lidia chewed the inside of her cheek, doing her best to keep back her comment. As Stacy continued to talk about the tacky name, Lidia stopped dead her in tracks. "Ya know, Stace. Madison's middle name is Sapphire because she was born in September."

"You only did that because John wasn't there to name the kid. He was too busy doing his own thing, remember? He left you because he wanted to be a wrestler. Silly Lidia." Stacy gave her a smile, no remorse showing on her face. "Lids, lighten up. Your new kid will have a prettier name."

Remembering they were in a hospital, the bass player kept her fist by her side, clenched into a tight fist. How dare she say something like that about her daughter! Espically when Stacy knew how much Lidia would give up for Madison.

"Guys, I'm gonna head back down," Lidia mentioned as she made her way to the elevator. "I just remebered I have to talk to Randy about something." She waved by to her friends, still keeping her fist clenched to her sides.

Standing in the elevator, she glanced down at her stomach, noticing the small bump that was forming. She rubbed her stomach, singing softly to the growing fetus. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...you make me happy, when skies are grey..."

"You'll never know dear, how much I love you, so please don't take, my sunshine away..." Lidia looked up, realizing she wasn't in the elevator by herself. An older looking lady, not much older than her mom, was also in the elevator, waiting for her floor.

Backing herself all the way up to the wall, Lidia stared at the other lady, frightend. "I'm sorry, dear," the lady apologized. "I used to sing that song to my kids when they were crying. Oh, that seems so long ago." The older lady sighed, staring at Lidia's stomach. "Are you expecting?"

"Yes," Lidia answered. "Yes I am. I don't know when though, I just found out the other day."

"That's wonderful news, sweetheart. Congratulations." The older lady gave Lidia a soft smile as she walked closer to her. "May I?" She asked, placing her hands gently on Lidia's stomach. Confused, Lidia backed away a little bit, throwing a protective arm around her stomach.

"No!" She yelled. "Take your hands away from me and my baby!" Lidia began pressing the open door button frantically, wanting out of the elevator as soon as possible. "How dare you. You were going to put a curse on me, weren't you? Wishing to cause my baby harm. The last thing I need is this kid in trouble. As if Madison hasn't been through enough..." She brushed a tear off of her cheek. "It's people like you that were behind of Maddy's kidnapping, weren't you?"

The lady looked at Lidia in shock, her eyes showing nothing but hurt. "Sweetheart, no. I wasn't going to put a curse on you, or your baby. I was just going to..." The doors opened to the floor where Lidia was going to go. Running out of the elevator, she ran down the hall, looking for John or Randy.

Finding John first, she ran into his arms, the tears falling harshly from her eyes. "She's trying to hurt our baby!" She cried into his chest.

"Honey, what are you talking about?" he asked, looking around him. "There's no one else here..."

"Yes there is! She's in the elevator, she was gonna put on a curse on me and the baby, and then bad things were going to happen!" John pulled away from her gently, putting his hands on her shoulders.

"Lids, listen you yourself. No one is going to hurt our baby, OK? It'll be fine. Everyone's babies are going to be fine. God, what's gotton into you lately?"

"You! You got into me lately, and look what happend. I'm pregnant. Again! And just like last time, you're going to leave aren't you? You have something more important right now, right? What is it, John? It's another girl, isn't? I knew I should have never gotton involved with you," she spat. "All you do is break promises. Promise after promise you've made, has been broken. You promised you would make me happy, and you didn't. You promised that when we came home to St. Louis, after those fifteen minutes of hell with your mother, you would do nothing but make love to me, and you didn't do that either! What's next? You going to promise you'll love me? Promise you'll stay with me and the kids? What is it John?" She placed her hands on his chest, pushing him away. "What's next?"

John stumbled backwards, running into a doctor. Apologizing, he stuffed his hands in his jeans pockets, bowing his head. "I don't know, Lidia. It seems like anything I promise you means jackshit. What do you want me to promise? You pick! Out of all the promises in the world you can choose from, pick." He leaned against the wall, proping his foot up to keep his balance.

"Anything?" Lidia challenged.

"Anything."

She brushed a tear away from her eye, staring down at her own feet. She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth, not daring to look up her boyfriend. She knew that he was staring at her right now, his blue eyes begging for attention. She could feel his eyes staring at her, making her more nervous than she all ready was.

"I want you to promise," she began, choking back tears, "to stop making promises you can't keep." Gaining the courage to look back at him, all she saw was the top of his hat because he was looking at the floor. "Can you promise me that, John?" she asked. He played with the chain of his neck with one hand, his other hand too busy twirling the ring around his finger.

Lidia's stomach turned into a giant knot. After all they went through, how could he still wear those gifts? It didn't matter how many times she would tell him she hated him, and she wanted him out of her life, he always came back.

"No," he finally answered. "No, I can't promise you that. I can promise you that I'll stick around this time. I can promise you that it doesn't matter how many times you kick me out of the bed and send me to the couch, I'll still be there the next morning. Jesus Lids, that's why I asked you to marry me. You can't see it, can you?"

"What is there to see?" She asked from her side of the hall.

"How much I love you." Her bottom lip was sucked harder into her mouth as she stayed seated opposite of him. Out of all the things he could've said, he just had to say that.

"Don't say things like that," she whispered.

"Like what?" he questioned, sliding down until he was down on one knee.

"Saying things like you love me, and how you'll always come back."

"I will though, Lidia. You have to believe me baby. I will. Lidia, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Can you see that? I know I've been a jerk, but Lids, you're the only woman that would ever take back a man that has done the things that I have done. I can't let you go. No other woman would do something like that. If I don't keep you, some other slime bag will get you, and I can't go on knowing that. Please, Lids?" He kneed his way over to her, taking her left hand in his, placing the engagment ring from earlier the day on her ring finger. "Please say yes?"

She stared down at the ring, looking at it from different angles. Through her tears she can see it shine off the lights that were above her, making the diamond shine.

"We've been through way too much to let each other go," he whispered. "And, if it makes you feel better...I promise I'll stick around." She grinned when she realized he was speaking to her stomach, talking to the baby.

"How could I say no to something like that?" she answered with a smile. John looked up at her, his grin spread across his face.

"Are you fucking serious?" he said, quoting her from earlier.

"Yes," she whispered. He picked her up, spinning her around in the middle of the hall. Her laugh echoed throughout the floor, all of the doctors and nurses smiling at the happy couple.

"Hey guys!" They heard from down the hall. They turned around to look, seeing Jackie and Trish bandaged and looking rough, but standing, meaning only one thing; it's time to go home.

Jack, Russ, Pat, Mags, Charlie, Jackie, Chris, Trish, John and Stacy all walked ahead of Randy and Lidia, the siblings catching up on their adventures at the hospital.

"So...my little sister is engaged..." Randy mumbled, looking down at her hand.

"Yup."

"I guess that's OK..." She swatted him on the chest playfully, linking her arm through his.

"Tell me about your fun," she mentioned. "Your fiancee is a bitch."

Randy laughed. "Well, she managed to sweet talk her way into an ultra sound to check the baby." Lidia arched an eyebrow, urging him to continue.

The older Orton bowed his head, mumbling something. "What was that?" Lidia asked.

Randy looked down at his little sister, "she's having twins."
