It's probably obvious, but I know nothing about children. So whatever I've gotten wrong, I'm sorry. It's been a nice run, so thanks for reading and reviewing. Four months and 22 chapter later, we are finished.

Children

Five years later

At 4 a.m., on a morning close to Christmas, Hannah's cry echoed out of the baby monitor. Simultaneously, Rocky and Adam rolled out of bed. They knew that once one child woke up, the others wouldn't be far behind.

Used to the routine, they didn't bother speaking. It was Adam's week on diaper duty so he continued down the hall as Rocky went down the stairs toward the kitchen.

He went into the children's room and all four girls were awake. He murmured to them as he entered. "It's that time again, girls. It's almost Christmas. I know that you guys don't know what that's all about, but Rocky and I are going to have fun." He picked up Megan, who was the oldest of their brood by twenty minutes. He changed her diaper and settled her into her bouncy seat.

He left Hannah for last because after she was changed, she wanted to eat immediately. She took that after her father.

He proceeded to do the same for Sydney and Liana. Rocky entered with the bottles while Adam was still changing Hannah. They settled down with the kids and bottles.

"I'm going to be glad when they can hold their own bottles," Rocky grumbled.

Adam grinned at his husband. "You're not fooling me, babe. I know you're enjoying every moment of this."

"Yeah." Rocky came from a big family, and while he had wanted children, he had never imagined that one day he would actually have them. After he and Adam had married, they had tried to take in a foster child. It had never quite worked out. He didn't know if it was because people were still uncomfortable for gays raising kids that weren't there own, nevertheless, they were still turned down.

Three years passed before they had given up. Maybe they just weren't meant to be parents. Then one day, Trini and Kim came over with a wonderful gift. If Rocky and Adam wanted, they'd be willing to donate eggs and they would carry the child or children, and give birth to them and Rocky and Adam would raise them.

Trini and Kim assured them that they wouldn't have made the offer if they weren't sure if they could give the children up and they wouldn't have brought it up if they hadn't been serious. Billy and Jason said it was their wives choice and they supported whatever decision they all made.

Trini confided that there was one thing that they needed to know before accepting or declining. All the children that were born to former Rangers ended up with some kind of power. Apparently, the power that they had held had affected their genetic makeup.

They had accepted their friends offer. The doctors had told them that sometimes, for whatever reason, a pregnancy wouldn't happen right away. So, both women were implanted at the same time. Not only did it take the first time, but it resulted in two sets of twins.

Megan and Hannah were born on May 12th and were fraternal twins. Genetically, the girls were Kim's and Rocky's. Two days later, Liana and Sydney were born. They were identical and genetically were Trini's and Adam's. It might have been wishful thinking, but he liked to think that Liana and Sydney looked like him.

The men were so overwhelmed when the girls came home between the feedings and the diapers and the screaming that they couldn't figure out the reason for that Rocky still couldn't remember the first week. He claimed he was too traumatized. Adam's mom said that it was just like a man to make it all about him when two of their friends had given birth to the girls. Finally, Cindy came and stayed a week and got them into a routine that they could follow and after she left, Rosa came and stayed for a week.

Rocky and Adam burped the girls before settling into the rocking chairs. They had gotten quite adept at holding two babies at a time. Adam looked at Hannah and Liana, who he was holding. Only seven months old and Hannah already looked so much like Rocky and Megan looked more like Kim. He knew that they would change as they grew, but his girls were so beautiful.

He kissed their heads, rocking gently. When he was younger, he had never thought of having kids. After getting married, the need had started to grow. He had been shocked at the love that had overtaken him when they were born.

He looked over at Rocky, who was smiling at him. "Thinking about the kids?" he inquired softly.

"Actually, about all of us."

He continued at Rocky's encouraging look. "When I realized that I had feelings for you, all I knew was that I wanted you. I didn't know how to handle everything that entailed. The good times, the bad times, the frustrations, just the day to day handling of things. Then we were together and in love and it was easier than I thought. It seemed natural when we moved in together and when we got married. I'm glad we gave each other a chance. We have wonderful friends, who sacrificed to let us have children of our own. Now, we have them. Our family is now complete."

"I think you just found the words you were always looking for, babe." Rocky's voice was quiet. They got up and laid the girls in their cribs and backed out of the room.

Their hands linked as they walked back to their bedroom. "When do you think they're going to start showing their powers?" Rocky murmured.

"I don't know, but I hope our lives will be boring until then."

Rocky smiled, but didn't answer.

"I love you," Rocky said as they crawled into bed.

"I love you, too." Adam curled up behind Rocky.

In the nursery, Sydney opened her eyes. She raised her hand and wiggled it at the mobiles over her and her sister's cribs. The mobiles started shaking and playing music.

One thing was for sure, life at the Park and DeSantos house was never going to be boring.
