That evening Kathleen and Sky were trying to figure out a name for another baby girl.
"I was thinking about Erin… Erin Elizabeth" Kathleen said
"Erin… hum… that sounds good to me" Sky smiled, "I wonder what Z is going to say to that…"
"That's right, her name is Elizabeth" Kathleen smiled "I wonder too"
"Why don't we talk to her and ask her?" Sky asked then pulled out his morpher "Hey, Z?"
"What is it Sky?" Z replied
"I need to talk to you"
"Okay, I'm on my way"
Z arrived in a few minutes later
"What is it?" Z asked
"Well, Z I was actually the one that needed to talk to you" Kathleen said
"What about?" Z sat on Kathleen's bed beside her
"I was wondering what you think about being the twin's Godmother?" Kathleen said
"WHAT? You want me to be their Godmother?" Z paused to collect herself "I don't understand, I'm just a girl off the streets, why don't you ask Syd who can give the girls everything"
"It's not the material things you can give them, it's what they can learn from you that made you my first choice," Kathleen replied
Sky had long since abandoned the conversation and the bedroom.
"So have you chosen names yet?"
"Yes… Emily and Erin" Kathleen paused "Emily's middle name is Katherine and Erin's is Elizabeth" Kathleen smirked
"Kathleen!" Z was once again shocked "I don't believe this"
"Well, Z believe it" Kathleen smiled "they aren't due until early October, but they don't think I'll carry them to term they're saying they expect to deliver the twins around my mother's birthday"
"When is your mother's birthday?" Z asked
"September fifteenth," Kathleen said
"So it won't be too much longer…"
"Yeah, I'm on light duty and it's a high risk pregnancy, I may end up on full bed rest before I have these babies" Kathleen sighed
"Oh, not a fun idea" Z winced
"Nope" Kathleen said "Not at all"
"What doesn't sound like a fun idea?" Syd asked from the doorway
"Twenty four hour bed rest" Kathleen replied "that may be where this pregnancy leaves me until I have these babies"
"Have you chosen names?"
"Their full names are Emily Katherine and Erin Elizabeth Tate" Kathleen smiled
"Emily and Erin their cute, who did you chose to be the Godmother?"
"Z" Kathleen replied indifferently
"Okay, when are you supposed to have your daughters?" Syd asked
"October first" Kathleen smiled "but they figure, seeing that I'm having twins that I won't carry to term… and are hoping I carry them to at least my mom's birthday on September fifteenth."
"Whoa, that would be a big shock to Kat if you had your twins on her birthday!" Syd said playfully
"You have no idea" Kathleen smiled "I have a feeling these girls are going to get spoilt… fast!"
"Yeah, they're Aunt Syd will be sure of that" Sydney gave a carefree smile
"That's what Sky's afraid of!" Kathleen said
"Girls…" Kat said from the doorway
"Kat, what is it?" Syd said
"Well, Sydney, I need to talk with my daughter" Kat said "in private"
"Okay, come on Syd, we've got work we need to be doing anyway" Z said, "excuse me, Kat"
"Sure, go ahead" Kat said stepping away from the doorway to allow Z and Syd to pass her by
"What do you need to talk to me about, mom?" Kathleen asked
"Do I need a particular reason to want to talk to my daughter?" Kat asked as the door slid shut behind her with a slight hydraulic hiss.
"No, I guess not" Kathleen smiled
"How is pregnancy treating you?" Kat asked sitting beside her daughter
"Okay, better than it was before" she said, "the doctor has given me a date that he thinks I'll be having the twins on"
"And that is?"
"Your birthday… they're actually due on October first, but he doesn't think they'll stay that long" Kathleen said casually examining her fingernails
"What... wait a second, my birthday?" Kat gasped "Your doctor thinks you're going to have your babies on my birthday?"
"Yes, that's when he is going to check to see if the babies are ready to be born, and if they are… they'll be born that day" Kathleen smiled at her mothers surprise. "What do you think?"
"I'm stunned, I'm excited…" Kat paused and sighed and her tone changed as she said, "I'm going to be a grandmother!"
"You should hear Sky talking about these girls, he'll spoil them almost as bad Syd will" Kathleen laughed
"Cruger is looking forward to the birth of these twins as well, he knows they're going to be a lot of hard work, but they'll be worth it in the end." Kat smiled "You'd swear that he was waiting for the birth of his grandchildren the way he talks!"
"Really?"
"Yes! It's kind of funny to me that he feels that way" Kat sighed, "I hate my skin… it's always so dry!"
"You need to get you some kind of lotion for that!" Kathleen said
"I had some, but I ran out yesterday" Kat sighed
After Kat left Sydney contacted Kathleen
"Kathleen, do you know of anything we could get your mom for her birthday?"
"Listen Syd, meet me in the rec. room, I need to talk to you about that subject"
"Okay," Syd said "I'm already in the rec. room"
Kathleen arrived in the rec. room and sat beside Syd on the couch.
"Does she need anything?" Syd asked
"She was complaining about having dry skin earlier and I've heard her tell Cruger that she was having problems with her hands getting dry and uncomfortable"
"So someone with dry skin could always use a moisturizer" Syd smiled "thanks for the suggestion"
"No problem" Kathleen smiled as Sky walked over to her.
