Thanks for being patient.

I own nothing.

New York 2 days later

"Trixie, I think my water broke." Stephanie panicked.

"Take a deep breath and I'll get you to the hospital." Trixie said helping Stephanie up.

"Trixie, Its too earlier. The babies, something is wrong. If anything happens, make sure the babies live." Stephanie said in near tears. She needed Ranger but she needed to save Julie's life.

The Hospital

"Ms. Plum, we need to do a C-Section. Do you have anyone of family with you?" Dr. Kirk asked the young woman in pain.

"NO. Just save my babies." Trixie stole Stephanie phone. She scrolled down until she saw the number she was looking for.

"Trixie, don't. Julie's life..." Stephanie trailed off as she fell into a deep sleep.

Dream Sequence

"Stephanie, are you there?" Stephanie looked up to see her Grandpa.

"Hey, honey, how are you feeling?" Her papa asked her.

"Horrible, why can't I live a normal life. Why."

"Honey, if you had a normal life, you would still be married to Dickie and with 2.5 kids. Do you want that?"

"No but no stalkers, no Morelli, and no dead bodies."

"No but that's what make life exciting. Why do you think I loved your grandmother so much. She always had something up her sleeve."

"But I put Ric and Julie in danger by doing nothing."

"Stop your whining and call you love of your life. Go look at you babies. Remember I love you."

"Papa!" She shouted and tried to grab her papa but he was gone and the white light was getting brighter.

"Stephanie... Stephanie... Wake up... Stephanie."

End

"Stephanie, are you awake." Dr. Kirk asked. Stephanie moaned and opened her eyes. "Both babies are in ICU, their lungs haven't fully grown but everything else is all right."

"Ric...I want Ric..." Stephanie mumbled under her breath not noticing a warm mocha latte hand stroking her hair.

Ric sighed as Stephanie slipped into a deep sleep. Trixie had called him the night before but said to stay away until Stephanie had time to think. She called him again when Stephanie went to labor. He got there as soon as he could but she was already in the C-Section. They need names for their babies.

Hours Later

"Ric, I'm sorry." Stephanie said her head down in shame.

"Babe, never ever think I'll hate you because of a stalker. I love you. We need names for our babies." Ric told Stephanie forcing her to look him in the eyes. Stephanie sniffed and looked down at her babies.

"Carlos Ricardo and Isabelle Edna." Stephanie said smiling up at him. Stephanie's stomach rumbled and she looked at Ric.

"Babe."
