Eddie was fastening her earrings on when Jamie walked in.

"Eddie we're gonna be late."

She rolled her eyes. "They can't exactly start without us."

He came up behind her and zipped her dress. "The girls are in their carseats waiting."

She nodded and followed him downstairs. When they got to the church Jamie led her into a back room. Erin and Nicky were in there waiting. Erin looked at her watch.

"Cutting it close aren't you?"

Jamie nodded and handed her Josie. "Can you help us get them dressed?"

Nicky grabbed Addie while Eddie laid out the girls christening gowns. Soon they were all dressed in their long white lattice top gowns with matching headbands and being carried into the sanctuary. Jamie and Eddie walked up front with Danny and Nicky at their sides. Jamie held Addie and Brooklyn while Eddie held Josie. The priest smiled and stepped up front.

"Children are a gift from God. Psalm 127:3 proclaims that "Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him." As believers we are called to recognize that children belong to God first and foremost. God gives children as gifts to parents. And each child is created in his image. Now since children are a gift from God, it is only just that children be dedicated back to God. In 1 Samuel 1 we are told that Hannah presented her son Samuel to the Lord. Just as Mary and Joseph brought baby Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem in order to present him before the Lord. In the same way that Jameson and Edit are presenting themselves and their daughters before the Lord. Accompanying them in making this commitment are the girl's godparents. Their uncle Daniel Reagan and their cousin Nicole Reagan- Boyle. Now also in attendance are the girl's grandfather Francis Reagan and their great- grandfather Henry Reagan. I can tell that they are very proud of these girls."

He turned to Jamie and Eddie.

"Jameson and Edit do you hereby dedicate yourselves and your daughters to the Lord?"

Eddie and Jamie spoke together. "We do."

"Do you promise to provide these girls in a home of love and peace, to raise them with the truth of the Lord's instruction and discipline, and to encourage them one day to trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior?"

"We do."

"Modeling this kind of love can not be done alone. It requires the help and guidance of others. For this reason you have called upon Daniel and Nicole. So now I ask the two of you. Do you promise to watch over and guide these children as well as Jameson and Edit as they raise them in the eyes of the Lord?"

Danny and Nicky nodded. "We do."

"If everyone would please stand." He turned to Jamie and took Addie. He spoke to the baby. "Addelyn Marie Reagan," He held her out and started sprinkling water on her head. "I hereby Christen you in the name of The Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit."

He raised her up and people clapped. He then handed her off to Danny. She looked extremely confused by what just happened and kept wiping her little hand across her face. The priest then took Brooklyn. She started screaming the second she was taken from Jamie.

"Brooklyn Faith Reagan. I hereby christen you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

Brooklyn was now squealing at the top of her lungs startling the other two. Nicky took her and comforted her. Finally Jamie handed over Josie.

"Josie Grace Reagan. I hereby christen you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

Josie started to squirm and threw the priest a dirty look. Jamie took her and smiled at her. As Eddie looked at Jamie's family she had never seen Frank look so proud.

Back at Frank and Henry's they had a small party with mainly Frank and Henry's friends. The girls were being passed around to people that Eddie didn't even know. She was craning her neck trying to find them when Linda nudged her and handed her a plate.

"They're fine."

Eddie smiled. "I'm just so use to keeping an eye on them."

"Yeah well enjoy today."

Eddie nodded. She had no sooner filled her plate then an older lady walked over with a very distraught Brooklyn.

"This little one seems very upset."

Eddie set her plate down and took Brooklyn. "No it's just Brooklyn. She's not big on being away from Mommy and Daddy."

The woman nodded. "I'm Mrs. Walters. I live two doors down. I use to babysit Jamie and the other Reagan kids when Frank and Mary went out."

Eddie smiled. "Wow."

She grinned and ran her finger over Brooklyn's hand. "This little one reminds me so much of Jamie as a baby. He was so sweet but not very big on being away from his mom."

Just then Jamie walked over and smiled. "Mrs. Walters. I thought that was you." He hugged her. "Thank you for coming."

She laughed and patted his cheek. "I wouldn't miss it for the world. I was just telling your beautiful fiancé here about you as a baby."

Jamie blushed. "You were always my favorite babysitter."

She dropped her voice. "Well don't tell Danny and Erin but you were always my favorite. Those two use to fight like cats and dogs and poor Joe always ended up in the middle."

Jamie laughed. When she walked away Eddie sat in the den and started feeding Brooklyn bits and pieces off her plate. Jamie sat down next to her and shook his head.

"Are you feeding her sauerkraut?"

She nodded. "She likes it."

"Gross."

he then noticed the look on her face.

"What's wrong?"

She sighed and dropped her voice. "My mom didn't show up."

He sighed. "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault."

"But now your hurt."

She cracked a small smile. "It's not about me it's about the girls. They have a lot of other people that love them."

He nodded and kissed her softly. "There is still a chance that she'll come to the wedding."

She shrugged. "She didn't R.S.V.P."

"There is still time."

"The wedding is in two weeks."

"like I said she may surprise you."

Eddie nodded and lifted Brooklyn a little. Jamie fed her some applesauce and she licked her lips. She suddenly reached her hand out and grabbed hold of the fork he was holding. He chuckled and gave her another bite.

"She is definitely your daughter."

Eddie rolled her eyes.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Jamie walked into the station and ran into Renzulli. He smiled at him.

"Hey Kid, that was a nice service yesterday."

Jamie nodded. "It was. Thanks for coming. It really meant a lot to us."

"Wouldn't have missed it for the world. So the big day is coming up soon."

"Less then two weeks."

"So where are you taking Janko for your honeymoon?"

"No where. Eddie doesn't want to leave the girls."

"So take them with you."

Jamie laughed. "Easier said then done."

"Well you should at least get out for a night or two. Even if you just take her to Staten Island."

Jamie looked at him unsure. "You think?"

"Trust me when a woman says she doesn't want to leave her kids it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to get away for a night."

Jamie nodded and stepped into the locker room.

"Hey Pop."

Jamie had just walked into his dad's kitchen with the roast for Sunday dinner.

"Where do you want it?"

Henry motioned to the fridge. "Top shelf is fine."

Jamie obliged and then sat down with Henry. Frank ladled him a bowl of chili before sitting down.

"Pop changed up the recipe."

Jamie tried a bite and nodded. "Spicier then normal."

Henry looked anxious. "Not too bad though right?"

He nodded. "It's good."

Frank then noticed the pamphlets in Jamie's jacket pocket. "What are those?"

Jamie pulled them out and handed them to Frank. "I know Eddie said that she didn't want to leave the girls to go on a honeymoon but I figured I could talk her into a couple nights at the plaza. An old buddy of mine from Harvard got me a great deal."

Frank nodded. "What about the girls?"

"That's the thing, I don't know if we should take them with us or ask Nicky to stay at the house?"

Henry tapped the table for a minute before smiling. "Bring them here."

Jamie and Frank both looked at him like he was nuts. Henry looked at them.

"Well we have pack n plays for them, we have high chairs and cups. Besides I'm sure Erin wouldn't mind staying here for a couple of nights to help uss. We have raised kids before."

Frank nodded. "well yeah twenty years ago."

"The basics are the same."

Frank sighed and then nodded to Jamie. "We'll take them."

"Are you sure? I mean they are a lot."

"We can handle them for a couple of nights."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Jamie slapped a pamphlet down in front of Eddie. She cocked her brow.

"What's this?"

"That is where we are going for our honeymoon."

She looked. "The Plaza? Jamie we can't afford that."

"Yes we can. A buddy of mine gave me a nice deal."

She looked at him unsure and then looked at the babies. "What about the girls?"

"Pop and Dad have volunteered to take them. It's only for a couple of nights."

"Can they handle it?"

"Erin already agreed to stay with them and they will also take Titan."

Eddie looked at the look on Jamie's face and cracked a smile.

"I guess I have to say yes."

He chuckled and kissed her. "Two nights of piece and quiet."

"I forget what that is like."
