Chapter Eight

The Future

Today was the day Casey and Sam were going to take home the twins. Their lungs had developed normally and they were each now a healthy eight pounds. Casey had been released from the hospital two days after her c-section. The cribs were set up in Sam's basement with all the necessary supplies for the babies. Sam had strapped two car seats into the back of his car and the two were about to arrive at the hospital.

They arrived at the hospital and a nurse handed Sam Kayleigh. Sam cradled her gently and looked into his daughter's eyes. She was still small, about the weight of a healthy newborn baby. He was so relieved both of the twins made it through without complications-it was truly a miracle. Sam put Kayleigh into a baby carrier and placed a knitted pink blanket over her small boy. He picked it up and went over to Casey who held a baby carrier in her right arm.

"Ready?" Sam asked.

"Yep." Casey said happily, finally able to take her children home.

When they arrived home Casey put Braden in his crib while Sam put Kayleigh in hers. Casey walked over to Sam and hugged him. He kissed her.

"Sam, I am so happy everything is ok now, it's amazing. I love you and our twins so much." Casey said softly into his ear. He smiled when he heard that.

"I love you too and Kayleigh and Braden. You three are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I didn't know I could love anyone more than I love you." Sam replied sweetly.

2 Years Later

"Casey McDonald." The principal of her high school stated. Casey stood up from her chair and walked up to the stage. She looked out into the crowd. She saw Sam giving her the thumbs up, Sam's parents smiling at her proudly, and Edwin, Lizzie, and Marti cheering for her. The people she didn't see, but wanted to, were her mom and George. They still hadn't talked to her since the day they kicked her out.

Casey shook hands with the principal and other staff members and received her diploma. She smiled and walked of the stage happily. The beginning of a new life, for her, Sam, Braden, and Kayleigh.

Casey and Sam had decided to move to the states, they had had enough of Canada, and wanted to try something new. A fresh start really. Casey had even gotten into a school in the states, Cornell, in Ithaca, New York. She was thrilled. A whole door of opportunities were about to open up for her. Casey was going to major in law, she'd be able to support her family with a great job. She and Sam would be able to live in a house of their own-the way life should be. Sam had been accepted into Ithaca College. They'd both been working and had saved up just enough to get a small apartment in between both of their colleges. They also would be able to put both the kids into daycare, Cornell offered one for students

One Year Later

Marti walked up the aisle in a soft pink colored flower girl dress. Light pink roses were getting strewn across the beautiful church's carpet. Casey smiled at her younger step-sister. Today was Casey and Sam's wedding today. He had officially proposed to her a year ago and they had decided to have a July wedding, before they both moved to the states. Three year old Kayleigh and Braden were sitting on Sam's parents laps having no clue what was going on.

Casey and Sam left for their honeymoon to Hawaii (thanks to Sam's parents) leaving their twins in care of Sam's parents. When they got packed they packed up everything they owned and said goodbye to everyone. They took a plane down to New York and moved into their apartment in Ithaca, New York-time for their new life to begin.

Eight Years Later

Casey had just graduated college and Sam had just graduated as well. He had decided to major in technology and had recently gotten a job in technology engineering. Casey had gotten a job at a law firm in New York City, which also happened to be where Sam's job was. Casey's job paid well, as well as Sam's, and the two were going to able to put a down payment on a nice enough apartment.

Kayleigh and Braden had just turned eleven and were in the fifth grade. Casey really wanted to have more children, but was unsure of what Sam would think. They had just recently gotten jobs and relocated from Ithaca to the Big Apple and they probably wouldn't have any time for a new baby. It was too late to think of planning on having a baby, Casey was already pregnant. She was actually two months along. She had found out at the doctors the other day and was deciding on how to tell Sam.

Casey walked into the living room where she found Sam watching tv with the twins.

"Hey Sam honey, can I talk to you for a sec, in our room?" Casey asked her husband. Sam nodded and stood up and walked into her room.

"Is everything ok Case?" Sam asked curiously. He could tell she was nervous about something; she wasn't making eye contact with him.

"Um Sam, well I know how you wanted to wait to have more children, but I'm actually pregnant, two months along actually. I found out yesterday at the doctors." Casey said nervously waiting for Sam's reaction. A smile broke out on Sam's face. He embraced her excitedly.

"Case, wow, I'm so happy!" He exclaimed.

"Really, I thought you would be mad. I mean we just got jobs and I'm already pregnant." Casey replied.

"Babe, I love you so much and I really want a baby." He stated. He looked down at her not-showing yet stomach and placed his hand there. She looked down and smiled and put her hand on top of his.

Nine Months Later

Casey and Sam had the nursery all ready. They didn't know if it was a girl or boy this time, they wanted it to be a surprise. Casey was standing in the yellow duck themed room and sighed. The apartment had only three small bedrooms. Casey and Sam shared one and the twins now had to as well now. If she and Sam were going to have more children they were definitely going to need a bigger place. Sam had been getting promoted a lot at work and Casey's boss promised her a promotion once she returned back from her maternity leave. Casey's thoughts of the future were interrupted when she felt water beneath her feet. Her water had broken. "SAM!?" Casey practically screamed.

Sam heard her and ran from the living room to the nursery.

"Casey, everything ok?" He looked down at her feet and got his answer. "I'll get the bag!" He stated. "I'll call Derek and tell him to pick up the twins from school!" He said.

"Wait, Derek's in town why?" Casey said in between wincing.

"It's supposed to be a surprise, but oh well. Here let me help you." Sam said caringly putting his hand on the small of Casey's back and helping her get out of the room.

At the hospital Casey had been in labor for about four hours when a nurse poked her head into the room.

"Casey, would it be all right if your brother and your two children came in?" The nurse asked.

Casey nodded. "Of course." She said clutching her stomach as another contraction hit. Sam let Casey grab her hand.

"Hey Casey!" Derek said kissing the top of Casey's head.

"Hey mom!" Braden and Casey exclaimed.

"Oh my god Sam! Get a nurse, I think it's time!" Casey exclaimed.

"I'll go get one, come on guys your mom is going to have a baby we need to leave." Derek stated ushering his niece and nephew out of the room.

A doctor came in and checked Casey. "All right you're ready to have this baby." She said.

The nurses prepped Casey to have the baby.

"Sam, it's going to hurt! I'm terrified; I've never done this before!" Casey said scared.

"Case it'll be ok, I'll be here, don't worry." Sam said reassuring Casey. He wiped her forehead with a moist washcloth.

"Ok Casey, I need you to push." The doctor instructed. Casey did as she was told for about another half an hour.

"Ok one more time." Another doctor instructed. Casey pushed and screamed.

"Congratulations you two have a beautiful healthy little girl!" The doctor stated putting the baby on Casey's lap.

Sam was tearing up. He cut the cord and looked at his daughter fondly. "She's beautiful Case, just like her mother." He said smiling.

"Aww thanks." The nurse took the baby to get cleaned up after Casey and Sam had bonded with her for a little while.

"So what do you want to name her?" Sam asked.

"I don't know. She doesn't really look like some of the names we chose for her." Casey said thinking.

"Nicole?"

Casey shook her head no.

"Hannah?"

"No." Casey said. "I think she looks like a Jayden." Casey said.

"Jayden, I like it." Sam replied.

"Do you want to choose the middle name?" Casey asked him.

"Sure, how about Faith?" Sam asked confirming it with his wife.

"I love it! Jayden Faith!" Casey said looking down at little Jayden.

They heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" Casey said cheerfully.

"Hey Case, congratulations!" Derek exclaimed walked over to Casey.

"Mom, I could hear you screaming from the waiting room!" Braden exclaimed. Casey laughed.

"So I'm guessing we have a little sister?" Kayleigh asked noticing the pink blanket Jayden was wrapped up in.

"Yep!" Casey said.

"What's my beautiful niece named?"

"Jayden Faith." Casey said proudly.

"Beautiful name." Derek stated.

Ten Years Later

Casey and Sam were now both thirty-seven. Kayleigh and Braden were both twenty one. When Sam and Casey were thirty they bought a house of their own in a suburb of New York, a six bedroom house to fit their growing family.

Casey had gotten pregnant again at thirty with yet another girl, Sophie Clarice. When Casey was thirty-five they welcomed their fifth and sixth child, twins-again! Again they had a boy and a girl, Jake Christopher and Rebecca Katherine. Their family was complete.

Casey and Sam started out rough; they became parents at the age of sixteen. They worked hard for what they wanted. It really taught them that if you made goals and tried to achieve them you could be successful. They had six great children, lived in a great town, had a great house, and great jobs. Casey's mom and George never got back in Casey's life, Derek, Marti, and Lizzie visited for the holidays. Casey and Sam were happy-they were always happy-from the beginning their lives truly started together.
