Three Weeks Later

Andros and Ashley were due to return from their honeymoon at any time now. Karone, Zhane, Adrienne, and Kertis were waiting anxiously for their arrival.

"Look, there they are," Karone shouted excitedly once she saw a glimpse of the megaship.

Once the megaship completely landed, Andros and Ashley walked out together hand in hand.

"Welcome home," Karone greeted, giving them both a hug, which was repeated by the other three as well.

"Hey Ash, looks like you got fatter," Zhane commented.

Ashley glared at him evilly before smacking him hard on his head.

"Ow," he mumbled, rubbing the spot where she hit him.

"Serves you right," Karone said to him.

"Did you guys have a nice time," Adrienne asked her son and daughter-in-law.

They both nodded in response, smiling happily.

Zhane was about to open his mouth and say something when Andros quickly stopped him.

"Don't you dare," he warned.

"What, I wasn't going to say anything," Zhane attempted to defend himself but failed miserably.

"Ok lets just get to the house and we can help you guys settle back in," Karone chipped in.

She had lifted her left hand as she spoke, reveling the new piece of jewelry on her ring ringer; Ashley noticed it almost immediately.

Ashley smiled. 'Finally', she thought.

"Nice ring Karone," she laughed.

Karone looked down at her left hand and smiled before looking back up and laughing.

"Thanks."

Once Andros caught on to what was going on he smiled.

"Took you long enough," he commented to his best friend, and now future brother-in-law.

"Haha," Zhane replied.

"Ok lets get going," Karone said a weirdly which both Andros and Ashley realized suspiciously.

At The House

"Ok what are you guys up to," Andros questioned his family suspisiously.

They all smiled before Karone grabbed Andros's left hand and Ashley's right. She quickly led them up the stairs and stopped in front of the room that she currently shared with Zhane, or so they thought.

"Um we know what you guy's room looks like, why are you acting so weird," Andros asked, unsure about what was going on.

They laughed before Zhane opened the door and Karone quickly dragged the two into the room.

Andros and Ashley stood still in shock at what they saw.

The room no longer had the white walls that it once did; also, there was no longer a bed against the wall in the center, and all the old furniture was gone and replaced with new ones.

Instead the walls were covered with stars and moon wall paper; there were three cribs at the end of the room, with either red or yellow blankets and a few stuffed animals in each of them and a mobile of stars and planets above each; there was also a changing table filled with dippers, and little dressers filled with baby cloths.

Unnoticed, Karone, Zhane, Adrienne, and Kertis had slipped out of the room and left the expecting couple to admire the work they did for them.

The shock eventually wore off enough for them to move farther into the newly built nursery.

Ashley had tears in her eyes as she surveyed the place; she placed a hand on her stomach as thought of her three children sleeping and playing in this room.

Andros walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her as she leaned her head on his chest.

They both just stood there and imaged what life will be like in a few months once their three little miracles were finally born.

After standing in that position for some time, dreaming about their future, they left the room to go down stairs and thank their family what they had done for them.

Four Months Later

Ashley was now eight months pregnant, and very uncomfortable.

She was currently in the living room sitting on the floor with her back against the couch as she leaned against the table in the center writing a letter to Cassie.

Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her stomach that she couldn't ignore. She was not only in pain, but in shock. She had not expected to go into labor a month early.

She moaned when she realized that she couldn't get up either. And the worst part was she had made Andros go out to the store since they were all out of ice cream, and she had lately been craving vanilla ice cream with pickles.

Once her first contraction was over she tried a second time to pick herself up, and had no such luck.

Then she gasped in fear once she realized that her water just broke.

'Oh, Andros where are you,' she thought.

Just as another contraction hit her, Andros walked though the door. She was in so much pain that she didn't even notice.

However ever, Andros did notice her sitting there and he was just about to ask her what she was doing when he saw that her eyes were tightly shut and both arms were wrapped around her very large stomach.

He immediately dropped the bags that he was carrying and raced over to her as fast as he could.

"What's wrong Ash," he asked in concern once he reached her. He was terribly worried to see her like this.

Once her contraction finally passed she slowly looked up into her husband's worried eyes.

"Andros," she whispered as if she wasn't sure if he was really there.

Andros could here the fear evident in her voice.

"I'm here Ash, what's wrong," he repeated.

"My water just broke, it hurts so much Andros, I'm scared," she replied.

"Lets get you the hospital," he said trying to calm her down, ignoring his own worry. "I'll go get your bag."

"Andros," she called out to him.

Once he looked back at her she told him, "I can't get up." She was feeling really uncomfortable on the floor and wanted him to help her up.

He quickly walked back over to her and first the table a bit forward before gently helping her up onto the couch.

Then he kissed her forehead and ran upstairs to get her things.

Ten Hours Later

Andros was wiping the sweat off of Ashley's forehead with a cloth when another contraction hit her hard and she dug her sharp nails into his skin.

Andros winced, but didn't say anything and wouldn't.

"Andros I think this it," she whispered to him, letting go of his hand, and he quickly went to get her doctor.

The doctor came in to see that she was fully dilated, and in minutes she was ready to start pushing.

Andros was at her side holding her up in a sitting position.

"Everything is going to be ok," he whispered into her ear.

Ten minutes later the young couple was rewarded with the cries of a new born baby.

"It's a boy," the doctor announced.

Twenty minutes later the baby boy was soon joined by a brother and then a sister.

Fifteen Minutes Later

All three babies were cleaned up and placed into the arms of the loving parents.

Ashley was holding one of their sons in one arm and their daughter in the other, and Andros held their other son in his arms; tears of joy in both of their eyes.

Then the door suddenly opened reviling both a smiling Karone and Zhane, followed by Adrienne and Kertis.

"Aw they're adorable," Karone whispered, not wanting to disturb her sleeping niece and nephews.

"What are their names," Zhane wanted to know.

"Well this one," Ashley began happily gesturing to the son she held in her left arm, "is Jayden, andthis precious littlegirl'sname is Brianna.

"And this one is Donovan," Andros took over, gesturing the child in his arms.

"Jay, Donny, and Anna," Zhane said in reply, already giving the three of them nicknames; Andros and Ashley really didn't seem to mind though.

"They're perfect," Karone commented.

"Do you want to hold Brianna," Ashley asked.

Karone nodded gratefully and went to take her niece into her arms.

Then Andros handed Jayden over to his mother who was waiting to hold him with open arms.

"Hi there little one, I'm your aunt Karone and your uncle Zhane going to spoil you and your brothers rotten," Karone giggled as she saw Brianna lift her little arms up joyfully as if she understood her aunt.

Andros watched his family with a smile. He couldn't help but think that everything was right in the world, and in all those years of fighting, this was what he was really fighting for.
