Another's Note: Two more chapters to go after this, though I am debating on whether the next one should just be the end. No update again until next week because I will be going out of town.
PrettyDiva: Yeah for some reason I like making them follow in their parents footsteps, at least with their younger two kids. Weddings are always great and it was time for Lauren and JJ to make things official. Don't worry with the ending of this story comes my next Tommy/Katherine story.
GinaStar: Love you for reviewing!!!
HarryPassionFan: I'm glad you thought it was funny with JJ being all formal with Tom but he had to do it he wanted to do things the right way.
Purple Strobe: Teaching is a perfectly noble profession. Though I could never do it. Yeah, it was about time that Lauren and JJ got together. I'm glad you got that JJ was nervous because that's what I was trying to get at but didn't know if it came across very well.
Grumpyk: Don't be sad, I've got tons of other Kat/Tommy fics coming up. Not to mention all the other Season stories I have to write.
"Well, here we go again," Tom remarked to Katherine as they sat in the waiting room of the hospital in Hawaii where Lauren would be giving birth to their sixth grandchild.
"What do you mean?" Kat asked her husband.
"In a matter of minutes, we're going to have six grandchildren," Tom told her.
"I know, it seems just like yesterday that Lauren and J.J. were getting ready for the prom and now they're married and about to become parents," she said.
"The kids are really lucky to be living here in paradise," Tom commented.
"Yes, it is nice here isn't it, maybe we should extend our vacation for another week," Kat replied.
"Or maybe we could think about settling down here after we retire," Tom said.
"Would you really want to do that?" she asked her husband.
"Why not, I mean the kids all have their own families now, so what's really stopping us from picking up and moving somewhere tropical," Tom replied.
"Not all the kids are married yet," Kat corrected him.
"Yeah well it'll only be a matter of time before Josh proposes to Renee in fact I think I overheard him talking to Patrick about it the last time the whole family was together," Tom told her.
"Still, we're already far enough away from the grandkids as it is, without moving even further away and besides would you really want to give up the house we raised our children in," Kat said.
"I guess not though the house is getting a little big for just the two of us," Tom said.
"We didn't miss it did we?" Kimberly Scott asked as she and Jason came into the waiting room. They had decided to go for a walk while waiting for news about the baby.
"They haven't been out here to talk to us so I'd say we haven't missed anything yet," Tom told her.
"Isn't this great, the four of us sharing grandkids," Jason remarked.
"It'll certainly make visits easy," Kat said since the four of them were neighbors.
"I can't believe my baby is about to become a father," Kim said as her eyes began to get misty.
"Now honey, don't start that again, you've been crying all morning," Jason said.
"I can't help it, I'm just so happy," Kim told him.
"I do wish someone would come and tell us something," Kat said.
"They'll tell us when there's something to tell," Tommy responded.
"I really don't understand you men sometimes, I mean you were nervous wrecks when it was your own children being born but you don't even seem to have the slightest worry when it comes to the birth of your grandchild," Kim remarked.
"Of course we're worried but we know that Jase and Lauren can handle this for themselves," Jason told his wife.
"And besides, its J.J's turn to be the nervous wreck," Tom said with a smile.
"Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, Mr. and Mrs. Scott," a nurse said as she entered the room.
"So what's the news?" Kim asked as they all rose to their feet.
"Congratulations, you've just become grandparents," she told them.
"How is Lauren?" Kat asked.
"She's fine, she did really well," the nurse replied.
"So is it a boy or girl?" Kim asked.
"Actually J.J. wanted to tell you that news himself, he'll be right out," the nurse said with a smile before she left them.
"What do you think that smile was all about?" Jason inquired.
"I don't know but I wish our son would stop keeping up in suspense," Kim replied.
"Sorry Mom, I couldn't bring myself to leave Lauren," twenty-nine year old J.J. responded as he came up behind them.
"Well was it a boy or girl?" Tom asked.
"Its twins," J.J. announced.
"Did you just say twins?" Kim asked.
"Twins, how wonderful," Kat said.
"You are now the proud grandparents to Grace Ann and Noah Lee," J.J. told them.
"You named your daughter Grace," Kim said with tears welling up in her eyes. Grace was the name of Kimberly's mother.
"Yeah, I wanted to name her after grandma and Lauren suggested that we give her your middle name," J.J. told his mother.
"That's very sweet son," Kim said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"And of course Dad, Noah is named after your father," J.J. said.
"Noah and Grace, what perfect names," Kat commented.
"So you guys knew this whole time that Lauren was pregnant with twins?" Tom questioned.
"Yeah, we wanted it to be a surprise, I hope you don't mind us keeping it a secret," J.J told him.
"We don't mind at all, it's a wonderful surprise," Kat said smiling.
"Good, then come on, Lauren can't wait to see you," J.J. said as he led them to her room.
They entered the room and found Lauren sitting up in the bed holding both twins in her arms.
"Lauren, how are you feeling?" Kat asked as she walked over to the bed.
"I'm ok, a little tired though, oh Mom it was so hard," she said.
"I know baby but you didn't beautifully," Kat told her.
"Would you like to hold one of them?" Lauren asked.
"Of course, I would," Kat said as she took Noah from Lauren's arms.
"There's one here for you too," Lauren told Kim as she handed Grace to her.
"He has his father's eyes," Kat said as she held Noah.
"Grace has Lauren's smile," Kim commented.
"How do you guys feel about having two all at once?" Jason asked.
"A little overwhelmed to tell you the truth," J.J told him.
"We're really grateful to have all of you here to help," Lauren told them.
"We'll be here as long as you need us," Kat said as she handed Noah back to his mother.
"We should let Lauren rest," Kim said as she handed Grace to J.J.
"Enjoy this quiet while you still can, it won't last long," Jason told them as the four grandparents left.
"I can't wait to call the kids and tell them about the surprise of twins," Kat said as she took Tom's arm.
"Maybe we better keep the house, after all we're up to seven grandkids," Tom told her.
"And just think Josh still hasn't gotten married yet," Kim told him.
"Not to mention the fact that he's marrying a DeSantos, with any luck, Renee will probably give birth to triplets," Jason joked.
"I don't care how many kids Josh and Renee have, I'll love those children just as much as I love all my grandchildren," Kat said.
