True to the family that she was from, Carolina loved to make noise. And, there was no doubts that she could howl, and that she would sing when she was older. The "Harrison/ Quincy Genes" Mason told her.

The doctors checked her out and to Jude's surprise (regardless of what she told Tommy), had nothing visibly wrong with her. She even awoke to a loud noise; Jude doubted that she would be hearing impaired like Anna- Rita. Tommy was wrong. Jude wanted to "in-your-face" Tommy, but every time she though that, she remembered that Tommy had been gone for three months.

"Why don't you two go home for the night," Jude suggested to Anna- Rita and Max. It had been a long two days for all of them; not just Jude. They were at the hospital, and were releasing Jude the following day.

"Okay Mom," the twins said simutaneously. Max hugged his mom, and gently ruffled Carolina's reddish- blonde hair. Anna- Rita followed her brother, and gave her mom a hug and a kiss, and kissed Carolina on the forehead.

"Bye Mom!" they each said, as they exited the room.

When Jude thought that the twins were out of ear- shot she began to talk to Carolina. Tommy never called the twins 'twins'. He always called them Max and Ari, because he thought that they were individuals and ought to be treated like individuals. He thought that even the term classified them as one.

"You look just like your Daddy, you know that? You have his eyes, and his face. But, he can't be here now. He left us, not for another woman like grandpa did. Well, maybe he did, but if he did, I don't know about it,"

Carolina began to cry. Even if she was a baby, Jude thought that she knew when people were sad.

"Shhhh... it's alright..."Jude gently bounced Carolina, as she lifted up her gown, and began to nurse her baby. Jude, then began to talk again.

"But it's okay. You have me, and Max, Ari, Sadie, Kwest, and Mason. They'll be your Daddies. And if your Daddy ever comes back, he can be your Daddy too," Jude told Carolina, as she pulled her away from her breast, burped her, and put her in the crib-type thing next to her bed.

"So, we're gonna be okay, okay," she told Carolina, as she began to toil with her wedding ring. Jude didn't really care who she talked to, it just couldn't be her two older children. She didn't want to upset either of them, they had both taken the news rather well, and didn't want to shake up and emotions that weren't very much there.

Carolina looked like she was about to cry again. "But I'm not going to give up on Daddy okay..."

What Jude did not know was that Max and Anna- Rita were standing outside of Jude's hospital room, listening to her talk to their new sister. They just didn't hear the last line, "But, I'm not going to give up on Daddy okay..."

The two walked away is silence, being careful not to let their mother hear them. Once they turned into another hall Max was the first to speak.

"Wow,"

"Yeah, Wow," his sister agreed.

Tommy went to the bedroom that he had shared with Jude for seventeen years, and dug his suitcase out of the back of the closet. He then went to the dresser and pulled out a variety of his clothes. He then went back to his closet to get his winter jacket, when he saw a familiar white suit hanging with a bandana attached to it.

'Should I bring it?' he asked himself. He went back and fourth, and eventually decided to leave the suite. He had no need for it anymore. He then zipped up his suitcase, and made his way down the stairs.

'Where is everybody anyways?' he wondered to himself again. He then sat down on the couch, and waited for his family to arrive back at their house. Maybe apologizing to Jude wouldn't be as hard as he first thought it would.

The door opened, but Tommy didn't hear it.

"Who's in here?" Anna- Rita whispered to Max.

"I don't know," Max whispered back. "Hello?" he called.

"Hello?" Tommy called back.

"Dad!" Max whispered to his sister.

Anna- Rita shrugged her shoulders silently.

"Hey guys!" Tommy said, walking up to them.

"Hey," Max and Anna-Rita smirked back.

"How've you been?"

"Fine,"

"Where's you mom?"

"Not here," the two responded together.

"What are you doing here? You have no right to be here!" Anna- Rita screamed loudly, practically shaking the house.

"I came to apologize. Then, I see you two. Maybe your lives would be much better with-out me,"

"No!" Anna- Rita cried. "You've done some pretty stupid stuff Dad, but I'm sure that we can all forgive you!"

"You lives will be much better with-out me," Tommy said, picking up his suitcase.

"Daddy!" Anna- Rita cried. "Please! We can forgive you!"

"I'm sorry," Tommy said, putting his head down with shame. "But, I just can't do it this time."

With that, Tommy walked out of the front door, and didn't look back.

Max and Anna- Rita never mentioned their father's visit to anyone. Well, Anna- Rita told James, and Max told Penny. The two had both grown closer, them being the two who were always over- shadowed by the others.

Jude came home from the hospital the next day, and from then on the Quincy's started a new life; one with-out Tommy. Lil Tommy Q. F-c-ing Tom Quincy.

The first day of the "new life" Jude had an odd suggestion. Everything and everyone had been acting strange since he left.

"We should have a picnic," Jude suggested. "We'll invite Kat and her kids, my Mom and Don, and my Dad and Yvette. Darius and Liam, and the other guys from D- Sues. It'll be fun!"

"Okay, whatever," Anna-Rita replied. "I'm feeling oddly inspired.
