A/N: I love reviewers; you guys are amazing. I still don't own Miracle, but I learned long ago to live with that.

Ellie's POV

So, we called Emily's doctor, Dr. Rosen, and he told us to bring her into the hospital. I called Gayle and she said she'd call Emily's parents. The guys had already left to look for Rob and it was only eight o'clock in the morning. I wasn't that surprised though. Buzzy can be really determined when he wants to and pairing that with two Irish tempers and one Italian one and Silky means action. Buzzy had enlisted a group of "take charge' people to help find my brother. (Buzzy, Rammer, Jannie, and Bah had been "on the case" for a few weeks already and were demanding reinforcements; hence our Boston visitors.)

Anyway, Emily, Heidi, and I went to the hospital. Erin picked Heidi up at the hospital and took my baby girl back to her place.

Emily was in a panic-again. We were in a hospital room and she was losing control. "I'm broke, I'm homeless, I'm single, I'm lonely, I'm desperate, and I'm pregnant! Why did Rob leave me?" Then she screamed.

This went on and one for hours. I was shocked at her ability to screech at high decibels. I had been there when Julie gave birth to Heidi and I can tell you she never screamed like that; she mostly just moaned, groaned, and whined. Emily, on the other hand, seemed to be having a nervous breakdown.

"Why didn't my parents come?" she sobbed. "I know I'm not married, but Rob was going to marry me before he realized how stupid I am."

"Emily," I protested. "You are not stupid."

"Then why am I here?" she screeched. "I'm having my ex-fiancée's baby and my parents aren't here! My commitment-phobic boyfriend of two years knocked me up. I lost my job because of budget cuts. My commitment-phobic boyfriend dumped me for no reason. I lost my apartment because I couldn't afford the rent. Ellie, what's going to happen to me and my baby?"

I shook my head. I had been afraid of that question for the past several weeks. I didn't want to tell her about my dad's offer until I knew he was going to extend it to her. "I don't know what you're going to do, Emily. You could look for another job."

"But who would hire a single mother? And what would I do with the baby all day?" she was screaming again.

"You could live with your parents," I suggested mildly. "I'm sure your mother would be glad to help you with the baby."

"Are you crazy?" she yelled. "My parents hate me; I'm a whore in their eyes. Why would they bother to take me in?"

I sighed, again. Sighing was getting to be my talent. "All right, talk to Gabby, Erin, and Nessa. See if any of them can help you."

"But Gabby has Rizzo, Erin has Rammer, Nessa has Bah, you're moving to Chicago to be with Jack, and Nina is moving to Wisconsin to be with Mark," she protested. It almost seemed like she was trying to make things more difficult than they had to be.

"I don't see Gabby going anywhere," I told her firmly; she was going to make her life work somehow. "And Erin would be glad to have you and your baby live with her. Nessa probably feels the same way. Erin and Nessa have everything that matters to them here and I can't see them moving anytime soon. Gabby may go to join Rizzo in Boston at some point, but I don't think that'll be anytime soon. Just talk to people. Trust me, Emily; things will work out. They always do."

"But why would any of them want to live with me? I'm such a-I don't know…I'm so hopeless!"

Okay, there was definitely something beyond pregnancy hormones and labor going on here. If my psychology classes were any clue, she was suffering from depression. She was exhibiting many of the classic symptoms including low self-esteem and frequent sadness. I knew that some of it was coming from pregnancy, but some of it…I don't know. I was pretty certain that she was depressed.

It was about eight in the evening when Gayle came into the room. "Ellie," she said. "I need to talk to you in the hall; it's an emergency."

"What could be more of an emergency than my baby coming?" Emily whined.

"It's a secret," Gayle recovered quickly. "Ellie, it'll just be for a few minutes."

"All right," I told her. "Emily, I'll just be a minute or two." Then Gayle and I went out in the hallway. "Okay, what's up?"

"Buzzy called me about half an hour ago. They found Robbie in a bar and they want you to come down there and help them."

"What about Emily?" I asked.

"I'll stay with her."

"Where are they?" I asked.

"Nate's," she replied, referring to a trashy bar in a not-so-nice party of town.

"I'm on my way."

Twenty minutes later, I pulled into the parking lot at Nate's. Buzzy and Jack were waiting for me at the door. "Jannie and Rizzo are waiting with him," Buzzy told me. "He's pretty far gone."

I nodded. "Has he told you anything?"

"Not really," Jack answered. "He did tell us that he's been staying with Henry but that's about it other than a lot of drunken mumbo-jumbo."

"Buzzy, call Henry and tell him to get his ass down here. I want to talk to have a word or a hundred with him."

Buzzy smiled. "Yes, ma'am," he said as he headed to the pay phone by the bathroom.

I followed my fiancée to my brother. Rob looked up at me. "Hey, Ellie," he slurred, clearly drunk out of his mind. "How are tricks?"

"Oh, things are great," I replied off-handedly. "Emily's in labor. I'm moving to Chicago. Mom is about to lose custody of Kathie. Life is absolutely great."

Jack and Jannie shook their heads while Rizzo rolled his eyes. Rob just looked at me like I was a two-headed space monster wearing a tutu and a tie. "Emily is in labor?" he repeated, clearly confused.

"Yes, she's going to have the baby, probably late tonight or early tomorrow morning," I told him slowly. "Rob, she's going to have your baby very soon. It's going to happen within the next few hours."

"We need to drink to that," Rob yelled.

He raised his arm to summon the bartender, when I slammed the arm into the table. "Rob, you're acting like Mom."

"No I'm not," he replied loudly.

I looked deep into his bloodshot eyes. "Robert McClanahan, you are dependent on booze. I can see that right now; you need to sober up or you're going to end up hurting people like Mom. You're already hurting people. You're hurting Emily and your child. You're hurting me. You're hurting Jannie, Buzzy, Jack, Rizzo, and all your other former teammates. Herb's worried about you. Rob, there are people out there who care about you."

"But you all lied to me in Lake Placid," he protested loudly. Rob was turning into the kind of drunk our mother was, loud and violent. I would have been scared normally, but I was with Jack, Rizzo, and Jannie. I trusted them and I knew they would protect me if Rob went crazy.

"Why do you think we did that? Do you think we did that to hurt you? We were trying to keep you focused on the team and the gold medal. We were trying to help you. Would you have been able to play your best if you knew that Mom and Dad were getting divorced? You can tell yourself whatever the hell you want, but I know you and I know the truth about you. You would not have been able to play up to your full potential if you had been worrying about that. Everything that was done was done with your good in mind. Believe whatever you want, but the truth is the truth. You needed us to hide the truth from you. We were going to tell you the truth when you were ready to hear it, but we had to wait for you to be ready." I was yelling now and I knew it. "Rob, grow up, sober up, and face your responsibilities. Until you're ready to do that, stay far away from Emily and the baby. They don't need anything to screw their lives up right now."

Rob looked at me and I knew my words had sobered him up some. For the longest time, he just sat there staring at me like I was that two-headed space monster again. I'm pretty sure I was wearing that tutu again; from my twin's facial expression, it was probably a fluffy pink tutu.

Then my twin brother spoke. "Ellie, I hate to say this, but you're right, as usual. I am turning into Mom and I need to stop that. I need to face my responsibilities and you were trying to help me. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you in the past few months. I'm really sorry. I know I'm going to need more than words to win my way back into your heart, but I figure I have a good start here. I'm going to prove myself to the people I love."

I nodded. "Okay. I need to go back to the hospital to be with Emily now." It was all I could think to say. Then I stood up and headed for the door.

I was at my car when I heard someone calling my name and I turned around and saw Jack, my Jack running towards me. "Wait a minute," he yelled.

When he reached me, he picked me up and spun me around. "I love you," he said as he set me down and started kissing me.

I clung to him with all my strength. "Jack O'Callahan, you're amazing. You're everything a girl could want in a man."

"Ah, you're not too bad yourself," he replied with a smile.

I hugged him. "Thanks for flying out here."

"Do you still want to talk to Henry?" he asked.

I had forgotten about that. "Is he here?"

My Boston boy nodded. "Yeah, he got here about a minute ago."

"I want to talk to him," I began. "But not here, I want to do it someplace quiet."

"We could go to a quiet pizza place to eat and talk," Jack suggested.

I smiled. "That sounds good."

"I'll go tell Henry and then I'll have Buzzy take Rob back to his place."

"You're perfect."

He laughed. "I'm not perfect, just really wonderful."

"I love you," I told him.

"I love you too," he replied, giving me a quick kiss. "Now I need to go talk to Henry."

We ended up going to Arielle's for pizza. It was peaceful and I could talk to Henry in peace. "Why did you let my brother stay with you and not tell anyone?" I demanded almost as soon as we arrived. "My father and I have been looking for him like crazy for the past six weeks. I've been worried sick out of my mind about Rob and then I find out he's been with you all along."

Henry looked at me with genuine apology in his eyes. "I know I should have contacted you, Miss Elizabeth, but Mr. Robert asked me to not tell anyone where he was. He said he needed some time to think things over and he wanted a break from his family. I was just trying to help him."

I sighed. "I get that, but people were looking for Rob. People were worried about him. Henry, right now Emily is in the hospital about to have Rob's baby. She needs him right now and we didn't know where he was. Buzzy Schneider had to create a search crew to go find him. I know you were trying to help, but you ended up hurting so many people."

Henry nodded. He was an older man, from England, who had been my parents' butler when I was younger. He was used to our family and our eccentric behavior, but also very proper. "I am deeply sorry, Miss Elizabeth. I had no idea what matter of trouble I would be causing for you and your family. I did not know that he was going to turn into your mother."

"No one did," I told him. "And I accept your apology. Rob will be staying with Buzzy tonight and we're all going to work together to figure this thing out together."

Henry nodded. "I completely understand and if I may be of any assistance at all, do not hesitate to contact me."

"I won't," I told him.

Jack's POV

So, Ellie and I left Henry and went back to the hospital. This day just kept getting longer and longer, but I knew that Ellie's day had been rougher. Looking for Rob and finding him drunk might be hard, but sitting in a hospital with Emily and then finding Rob drunk in a bar had to be worse.

And now we were going back to the hospital at two in the morning. Emily still hadn't given birth and she was complaining about it. She was just being typical Emily.

At the hospital, I ended up in the waiting room with Gayle. "Emily's having a tough time of it," she told me. "She doesn't like being in pain and she really needs Rob to be here for her. Dumb jackass that he is, he couldn't be forced to show his face for the birth of his first child though."

I nodded. "I can't believe he's missing this; I know I'd never want to miss the birth of my first child."

Gayle smiled. "Jack, you're a very different person from Rob. You aren't afraid of commitment like he is. It's probably part of what attracted Ellie to you; you're very different from her brother but similar to her father. You're very mature compared to Rob."

"Thanks," I told her.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew Ellie was waking me up and the clock in the waiting room said that it was half past seven in the morning. "What's going on?" I mumbled as I tried to wake up. "Did Emily have her baby?"

Ellie sat down next to me with a smile on her face. "She did."

"And?" I asked. "Boy or girl?"

"She had a beautiful little boy," she replied. "He is twenty-one inches long and weighs eight pounds, nine ounces. He has dark brown hair and gray eyes; he looks so much like Emily."

I smiled. "He sounds gorgeous; what's his name?"

"Logan David," she told me. "Apparently Rob picked that name."

I nodded and looked around the room. "Where is Gayle?"

"Buzzy brought Rob over here a little bit ago," my fiancée began. "And Rob is with Emily and Logan David right now; Buzzy took Gayle home so she could get some sleep."

"And when are you going home to get some sleep?"

She yawned and leaned against me. "Whenever you feel like taking me home, but first Emily wants you to meet your godson."

"My godson?" I asked.

Ellie nodded and snuggled closer to my body. "Emily wants us to be Logan David's godparents."

"Okay," I replied.

So, we went to see our godson. He was adorable. Logan David Sibley-McClanahan did look like his mother. "Isn't he beautiful?" Emily asked as we came in.

I nodded. "He is. Congratulations, Emily."

She smiled and thanked me.

Rob was also in the room and he was just staring at his son. "I can't believe all this is real. I can't believe it finally happened."

"Well, it's real," Ellie told her twin. "And you're going to need to take responsibility for your actions."

Rob just sighed. "Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm working on it."

"Well, don't take forever to work on it."

"Yes, ma'am," came the response from the new father.
