After nine days in the hospital Kelly Ann Gibbs was finally coming home. Olivia had been cleared to come home as well. So Abby, Tim, and Tony had arranged a welcome home party for the babies. Abby had wanted to invite all of Stillwater but that idea was quickly struck down. The party ended up being a simple family affair. Tony had baked a cake using his mom's recipe and Tim and Abby designed a welcome home banner.

"How much longer?!" Abby whined.

"It's a long drive to Scranton and it takes a while to get signed out of the hospital. Then don't forget they have to pick up Olivia too. It could be dark before they get home." Tony explained.

"I want them home now!" Abby cried.

"Come on Abbs my friend let's go play x-box. My friend Eric sent me a bunch of new games. They are really fun." Tim offered.

"OK wait what if the babies get home while I am up here?" Abby questioned.

"Don't worry Abbs, Jack said he would call me when they are leaving the clinic." Tony assured.

"Well you better get me as soon as they call!" Abby cried.

"Don't worry Abbs I will get you and Tim as soon as I hear from Jack." Tony assured.

Jethro sat on the bench outside of Scranton General Hospital. Kelly was asleep in his arms bundled up in the stripped yellow and green blanket Jenny had gotten for her. It was the last thing Jen had ever bought for her baby girl. She had bought it two days before she died. Jethro didn't think he would use this blanket more than for bringing Kelly home and that was just because he had promised Jen they would use this blanket for bringing Kelly home. She had about twenty other blanket and Jen had bought nine or ten of them. So it's not like she would be without. Jethro looked up and saw Darla's van driven by Jack turn the corner and come to a stop in front of him.

"You ready to go home Kelly Boo?" Jethro asked as he opened the door of the van.

"Ooooohhh" Kelly cooed.

"That's what I like to hear." Jethro replied buckling the seat-belt of Kelly's car seat.

On the drive back to Stillwater. Jethro rode in the backseat of the van with his baby girl. Kelly woke up about half-way through the drive and started to cry. It didn't take Jethro long to realize that she needed a new diaper. Jack pulled into the next rest-stop and Jethro ran inside and was relieved to find this particular facility had a family restroom. He gently placed Kelly on the changing table removed the old diaper and tossed in the trash. He bent down and picked up the wipes, clean diaper, and baby powder out of the bag. He wiped Kelly off, put on the new diaper, and dusted the powder on to her body. He was just fastening the tape. When his daughter decided to empty her bladder. Soaking him in the process. Jethro didn't know girls could do that.

"Waaaahhhh!" Kelly cried.

"Really you couldn't do that before I got the new diaper on?" Jethro asked.

"Waaaahhhh!" Kelly cried.

"Just don't let it happen again." Jethro replied removing the wet diaper and repeating the process.

Two hours later Jack pulled into the parking lot of the Stillwater clinic. This time Jethro would pull the van around. While Jack went inside to retrieve Darla and baby Olivia. Darla and Jack were beyond relieved that Stillwater Clinic could handle her care and she wouldn't have to be transferred to a larger hospital out-of-town. They were also grateful that Olivia only needed two days in the hospital. When Jethro was born not only was he rushed to a hospital with a NICU but he was kept for just over a week. Ironically the same amount of time as Kelly. Both Abby and Tim were jaundiced at birth. Tim was lucky to have been born at a base hospital in California but Abby like Jethro was taken out-of-town luckily her NICU stay was only four days.

"Are my two girls almost ready to go home?" Jack asked entering Darla's room.

"Ready now actually." Darla replied.

"All signed out and everything?" Jack asked.

"Yep" Darla replied.

"Great the kids are dying to meet the babies and Jethro just wants to be home." Jack replied.

"Where are Jethro and Kelly by the way?" Darla asked.

"Waiting to pull the truck around." Jack replied.

"Should Kelly be in the hot car this long?" Darla asked concerned.

"I left the van running and I told Jethro to just bring her in if we took too long." Jack assured.

"Well let's go then." Darla replied.

Tony, Abby, and Tim stood beside the door and waited to hear Jack's van pull into the driveway. Abby was jumping up and down in the back of the group. While Tony stood up front and watched out the window. Tim was in the middle trying to keep Abby calm. After what felt like a lifetime they heard Jack pull into the drive. The van doors closed and seconds later Jack walked in followed by Darla who was carrying a sleeping Olivia in her baby carrier and Jethro who wasn't so lucky with Kelly. The smaller baby had screamed her head off since they turned on to the street.

"Welcome home!" Tony, Abby, and Tim called in unison.

"Did you kids put this together?" Jack asked.

"Yes we did." Abby replied.

"Well we love it." Darla replied.

"I made the cake." Tony replied.

"Abby and I made the banner." Tim added.

"They are both lovely." Darla replied.

"You guys did a great job." Jack added.

"Waaaahhhh!" Kelly screamed.

"Do you like it Jethro?" Abby asked.

"Waaaahhhh!" Kelly screamed.

"Oh yeah it's nice but I have to take care of Kelly right now." Jethro explained.

"Let me know if you need any help." Jack called.

Jethro carried Kelly downstairs to the basement. He placed her on the changing table and found that she was soaked. Jack had coached him on diaper changing using the basketball Tony left in the back of the van. When they had to make a stop for him to use the bathroom and Jethro to get a quick snack. So he was little better but still ended up getting wet. At least he wasn't soaked this time. Even after she was changed Kelly was still crying. Jethro offered her bottle but she refused. After that he tried burping her and nothing happened. He tried everything he knew but nothing worked. Kelly just screamed her head off. he placed Kelly her in her crib and fell on to his bed.

"I can't do this." Jethro whispered to himself.
