A/N Last chapter. By the way, I'm pretty sure they did not have answering machines back then but I put it in anyway because I wanted to. Enjoy!
Six Months Later
"They're here! They're here!" Mary Ann proclaimed as she rushed out of Ginger's delivery room.
The Professor stood up. "Are they.."
"So beautiful!" Mary Ann squealed clasping her hands together. "You have a beautiful baby girl and….a beautiful baby boy!"
The Professor was stunned. A daughter and a son. He had a daughter and a son. God had truly blessed him and Ginger.
"Can I…see them now?" He asked of Mary Ann.
"Of course you can! Come on!"
Mary Ann lead him to Ginger's room and he stepped inside. His eyes went to the two tiny bundles in Ginger's arms. One wrapped in a pink blanket. One in a blue blanket. Slowly, he approached the bed staring at the two miracles.
"Wow." He said. "They are…wow. I never saw anything so…beautiful."
Ginger grinned. "What about me?" She joked.
"Of course you are…" The Professor quickly said.
Ginger shook her head. "Aren't they incredible?"
"They are." The Professor said as he touched the head of his daughter. So precious. Amazing. Ginger handed him the baby girl which he took in his arms. He looked down at the little bundle in his arms. "Hello." He greeted.
The little baby girl made a sound in response. "She is just….amazing….I…can't believe…she is my daughter." The Professor said proudly.
Mary Ann smiled at the scene. She was so happy for the both to them. "What are you going to name them?" She asked of the two.
"Well." Ginger replied. "We both agreed since there are twins, we would each get to name one of them. So I'm going to name our son Daniel Edward Hinkley."
"Edward? You mean after Edward the marine…"
Ginger nodded. "That's right."
"That's so sweet." Mary Ann smiled.
She knew that Ginger was fond of the young marine and not because she was attracted to him. He had become more like the kid brother she wished she had growing up.
Mary Ann turned to the Professor. "What do you think of that name?"
"I think it's perfect." He replied. "I love it."
"So what about the baby girl?" asked the farm girl. "What are you going to name her?"
The Professor pondered this. "Her name will be…Samantha Victoria Hinkley."
Ginger giggled. "Roy…you are so sweet."
Mary Ann was puzzled. "What is so funny?"
"Samantha Victoria was my very first movie role." Ginger explained.
"Oh"' Mary Ann exclaimed. "That is sweet! I love it!"
Ginger looked up at Mary Ann. "You want to hold one of them?"
Mary Ann nodded and took Daniel from Ginger. She held him in her arms with tears of joy in her eyes. "Hello there…I'm your Godmother. Mary Ann." She gently kissed the top of his head. "You can call me Auntie if you want."
Mary Ann was amazed by the little baby in her arms. She knew she had to have one too. She wanted a little baby to hold and love. She carefully handed him back to Ginger and took Samantha in her arms.
She rocked the little pink girl in her arms gently. "Hi Samantha….It's so nice to meet you…..I'm you're Auntie. Auntie Mary Ann."
Mary Ann gently kissed Samantha's head and handed her back to the Professor.
"I'll go tell the others the news." She said as she walked out.
Mary Ann felt a wave of emotions inside her. Seeing those two babies made her realize even more what she wanted. She wanted what Ginger and the Professor had. She wanted a good marriage and a family.
Mary Ann smiled down at the ring on her finger. Well she was almost there. Walking over to the phone, she picked it up and dialed. "Hello Mr. Howell? Yes..Yes they are here! A boy and a girl!"
"Oh that's simply marvelous!" Mr. Howell said on the other line. "Lovey…Lovey…Ginger had the babies! A boy and a girl!...Yes here you are dear."
"Mary Ann?"
"Hello Mrs. Howell."
"How is Ginger?"
"Oh she is wonderful. So happy and excited."
"That's splendid. Tell me what are the babies' names?"
"Daniel Edward Hinkley and Samantha Victoria Hinkley." Mary Ann replied.
"How wonderful! " Mrs. Howell said approvingly. "I can't wait to see them!"
Mary Ann then spoke with the Skipper and informed him of the good news. After that, she then called Edward as she had promised Ginger months ago, she would.
"Hello?" He answered.
"Hi Edward. This is Mary Ann."
"Oh…hi Mary Ann! How are you?"
"Wonderful."
"How is the apartment?"
"It's great. It was very sweet of you to locate one for us…Listen I have some news."
"What is it?"
"Ginger. She gave birth just a little while ago. She wanted me to call you to tell you."
Edward was touched. The movie star remembered him. "That's great. How is she?"
"She's in heaven." Mary Ann laughed. "She has both a son and a daughter."
"Wow! That's fantastic! What are their names?"
"The girl is Samantha Victoria and the boy is…Daniel Edward."
"Daniel…Edward?"
"Yes Edward. She wanted the baby to have your name."
"I can't….wow…I never thought…"
"Edward, Ginger is very fond of you you know that. You are the kid brother she wished she could have had after her brother passed away."
Edward smiled. "Tell her thanks. And I think she's the best too."
"I will." Mary Ann said. "Take care now." She hung up the phone smiling.
Two months later
Ginger carried her son in her mansion with the Professor in tow holding their daughter. The limo driver brought their bags inside. The nanny that Mrs. Howell so graciously found for them took the babies up to their new nursery.
Ginger looked around her home. "Wow. I almost started to believe I would never see this place again.
The Professor took in the surroundings. "It's quite a spectacular house." He said approvingly.
Elegantly decorated with fine delicate sculptures and bright colorful paintings.
The Professor took their bags and followed Ginger up to the master bedroom. Ginger stepped inside and smiled. Just as she left it. She giggled at the purple dress she had tossed on the bed declaring it would never do for her trip to Hawaii.
Ginger noticed the light on her answering machine blinking. "Gee this must be a really old message." She laughed as the Professor began to unpack. "I wonder who this was from."
She hit the play button as she began to unpack her make-up case, setting her perfume bottles down.
"Ginger, it's me Lucy. Have I got a man for you!"
Ginger smiled. "Oh really?" She said aloud listening to the message.
"His name is Roy Hinkley..he's a professor…"
Ginger didn't hear the rest of it. She just stood there frozen in place staring at the machine.
The Professor who had not been paying attention noticed Ginger and went up to her. "What's wrong?"
Ginger said nothing and hit the button to replay the message.
"Ginger, it's me Lucy. Have I got a man for you! His name is Roy Hinkley..he's a professor…"
Like Ginger, the Professor didn't bother hearing the rest of the message. He was just as stunned as Ginger. They both looked at each other. So if they hadn't been on the Minnow…they would have… They hit the button again and listened.
The End!
A/N Do no fret. There will be a sequel to this story. It will focus in on Mary Ann and Gilligan and what they face having been returned home.
