Chapter 94

Rick opened the door. Everyone piled in, “Surprise,” they shouted. They walked into the living room where Jo was sitting. Tootie looked at Rick. “Jeff is waiting for you and the girls downstairs.” They were going to go to the park for a while and leave the ladies alone. Rick went to get the girls and then they left.

Natalie walked over to where Jo was sitting. “How are you doing?” she asked as she bent down to hug her. Jo sighed, “I’m doing okay.” Tootie walked over and hugged her. She put her hand on Jo’s stomach. “Hey there little boys,” she said. “This is Auntie Tootie.” She was talking baby talk and Jo laughed. “Alright Tootie, I think they definitely know who you are now.”

“Were you surprised?” Blair asked. Jo smiled. “Well, Rick sort of had to tell me about it.” Blair looked upset. “Oh well,” she said. Mrs. Garrett came over with a cake. “Where should I put this honey?” she asked. Jo shrugged, “The table I guess.” Beverly Ann hugged Jo and asked, “How are you feeling?” Jo told her she felt pretty good. Then she saw Andy’s fiancée Gina standing by the door. Gina had never seemed really comfortable around all of them, but she made an effort. “Come on in,” Jo smiled. Gina walked over. “It’s nice to see you again,” she said softly.

Everyone sat down and Jo opened her presents. “These are so cute. Thanks,” she said, opening two identical outfits Tootie had given her. Then she opened Mrs. Garrett’s gift. “Oh Mrs. G,” she said looking at the two hand made baby quilts, “these are beautiful. Thank you.” Mrs. Garrett stood up and hugged Jo tightly. Jo continued to open the gifts, which included two stuffed bears from Natalie; a bag with baby shampoo, lotion, powder, and some diapers from Beverly Ann; and a gift certificate from Gina. “You are all so nice,” Jo said as she began to cry. She could not control her emotions anymore, and Blair put her arm around her and tried to comfort her. “Hey,” she said. “Stop being so emotional. We’re not even finished with the presents yet.” She smiled at Jo. “My present is still outside. I’ll go get it.”

Blair walked out and came back in with her gift; two white lace bassinets with pale blue ribbons for trim. “Oh Blair,” Jo said. Blair interrupted her. “I know you liked them, and you said they were impractical because they would outgrow them so quickly, but I thought you should have them. You can put them in their bassinets and take them from room to room with you.” Jo was sobbing, “Thanks,” she said. “I love the bassinets.” Mrs. Garrett smiled. “What do you say we cut that cake?” she asked trying to lighten Jo’s mood. Jo smiled slightly, “Okay,” she said. “I think I can eat cake without crying.” Everyone laughed as they cut the cake.

It is great.

Chapter 95

Rick and the girls arrived back from their outing. Katie was sleeping in his arms and he took her into her room. “The rest of you better get ready for bed,” he said. “Big day tomorrow.” Ricki laughed. “It’s too early for me to go to bed,” she said. “I am thirteen you know.” Rick laughed, “Fine, go to your room and read a book.” The girls all kissed their parents goodnight and went to their rooms.

“Where have you been?” Jo asked. “It’s 8:30. The baby shower was over hours ago.” Rick walked over and sat by her. “Sorry,” he said. “We were having fun and lost track of time.” Jo looked upset, “Was Jeff with you this whole time?” she asked. “Because if he was, I’m sure Tootie will never let him go anywhere with you again.” Rick smiled. “Yeah, he was. He said she’d be pretty mad, so he called her about an hour ago.”

Jo started to cry. Rick looked at her concerned. “What is it?” he asked. Jo continued to cry. “I was scared,” she said. “You should have called me. I’ve been sitting here, worried that something had happened to you and the kids.” Rick put his arm around her and tried to comfort her. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you. I just didn’t think. I’m sorry.” Jo looked up at him and wiped her red eyes. “This is why we are not together Rick,” she said softly. “You are so irresponsible. You act like a big kid and I can’t handle that.”

Jo tried to get up from the chair, but was having a difficult time. Rick reached out to try to help her. “I can do it myself,” she said, and after a few more strenuous tries managed to get out of the chair. Jo was walking into the bedroom. “Jo, wait,” Rick called after her. “I really am sorry.” She refused to listen, and went on.

:eek: Oooooh. Post more soon!

Oh. Post more soon.

Here is some more!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 96

Jo lay in bed for a long time, but could not go to sleep. She was tired, but her mind was full of thought. She couldn’t stop thinking about what Rick had said earlier. He wanted them to get back together. And then, she thought about the time she had spent worrying about her family because he had forgotten to call. Why did he have to be so free-spirited? She was too grounded to that sort of unpredictable behavior.

As she lay in bed thinking, she felt the babies stretching inside of her. It actually hurt a little, there was no room left for them to move and she could easily identify feet, hands, elbows, and knees. “Come on guys,” she sighed. “Its time for you to come out and meet your family.” Then she began to think about the family these babies would have. Six kids…No money…Parents who couldn’t get along. She began to cry thinking that her family was the picture of dysfunction. How could she have let this happen?

Rick was lying on the couch when he heard her crying in the bedroom. He wanted to go to her, but he knew he had hurt her earlier and wasn’t sure if he should go in there. Finally, he decided to go in and check on her. He had to make everything all right. Slowly he walked to the bedroom door and knocked. “Jo,” he said. “Are you going to be okay?” She continued to cry, but managed to say, “No, I’m not.”

Rick pushed the door open and walked over to the bed. He knelt down and began to cry himself. “I am so sorry,” he said. “I never meant to hurt you. I know I wasn’t the best husband. I’m an irresponsible father. But I never wanted to make you cry. I love you.” Jo spoke in a near whisper. “I know you love me,” she said. “And you are not making me cry. Rick, how could we have messed up our lives like this? We have six children…six. What kind of lives are we going to give them? We have nothing. They have to do without so much. It scares me. That’s why I’m crying, not because of you.”

Rick put his arms around her. “We have good kids Jo,” he said. “They’re smart…they’re not spoiled…they appreciate what they have.” Jo sniffled a little. “I know they are good kids, but I want them to have more than we can give them.” Rick bent down and kissed her. “I know,” he said. “I think I know what I can do. I’ve been making next to nothing playing in piano bars and restaurants. I talked to a friend of mine the other day, and he thinks he can get me back into concert tours. I’d miss all of you. But it would be a lot more money.”

Jo didn’t know what to say to that. “You would do that?” she asked and Rick nodded his head. “Hey,” he said. “When I married you, I told you I would do whatever it took to provide a decent life for you and our kids. I’m sorry… I haven’t done that. But losing you has made me see what a screw up I have been. I can’t live without you." He placed his hand on her stomach and smiled as he felt the twins stretching inside their mother. "I owe you and the kids a better life. I’m going to give you that…I promise” Jo kissed him gently on the lips. “I love you,” she said.

Awwwww.

Chapter 97

Blair woke up. She looked at the clock. It was 7:00. David was still sleeping beside her. She snuggled up closer to him, trying to avoid getting out of bed. She felt so tired, but it was a big day, and she had to play hostess. Finally she got herself out of bed and walked into the kitchen.

She started the coffee pot. David always drank several cups of coffee in the morning, and she knew he liked to wake up to the smell of brewing coffee. As she was making the coffee, she suddenly felt queasy. She was eight weeks pregnant and had experienced very little morning sickness, but the past few mornings her stomach had been upset. She remembered when she was pregnant with Debbie Jo. She never had any morning sickness with her. Then she thought about Jo who had been puking daily the first four months she was pregnant with the twins. If Blair didn’t have to go through that, she figured she could handle a few queasy mornings.

After a few minutes, David came into the kitchen. “Hey sweetie,” he said bending down to kiss her. “How are you feeling?” Blair sighed, “Okay,” she said. “Just a little blah.” David smiled at her. “Eat some crackers,” he said. “You’ll feel better.” He took a box of crackers out of the cabinet and gave them to her. Blair refused to munch on them. “I’m fine,” she said. “I have never had really bad morning sickness.”

“Suit yourself,” David said. “So, are we all ready for today?” he asked happily. Blair smiled at him. “Sure,” she said. “We are going to have a great day. A picnic, swimming, fireworks…and of course we get to make our special announcement.” David put his arms around her. “We are so lucky to be having this baby,” he said. Blair hugged him tight. “I know,” she whispered.

Blair suddenly pulled away from him. “What is it?” David asked concerned. “I’m going to be sick,” Blair yelled as she rushed to the bathroom. David followed her, but Blair closed the door. He waited for her to come out. Finally Blair opened the door. She came out, her face pale and her skin moist with sweat. David put his arm around her. “Are you okay?” he asked sympathetically. Blair looked at him. “I think so,” she said placing her hand on her stomach. “I just hope this morning sickness thing passes quickly. I am not going to throw up every morning for the next seven months.” David laughed. “Next time listen to me…eat the crackers.”

This is good. Please post more.

Chapter 98
Tootie was dressing Ontario. In honor of the holiday, he was wearing red and white shorts, and a blue shirt. Jeff laughed. “Look at our little patriotic son.” The little boy ran to his daddy and hugged him. Tootie smiled at her family. They really were all she needed. She knew she was blessed to have them.

“So, are my two handsome guys ready for a fun day?” Tootie asked laughing. Jeff smiled. “Of course,” he said. “We had fun yesterday too. This has been a pretty good vacation.” Tootie looked at them. “So, why were the two of you gone so long yesterday? I was starting to miss you.” Jeff put his arms around her. “Rick and I were talking and the kids were playing and then we went to eat. I know we were gone a long time, but at least I called you. I don’t even think Rick called Jo to tell her we were going to be late.”

Tootie looked at Jeff. “What?” she asked. “He didn’t call her. She must have been scared to death. Why didn’t he call?” Jeff hadn’t meant to get Tootie started. “I guess he just forgot,” he answered. Tootie looked angry. “You could have reminded him, or suggested it.” “Sorry,” Jeff replied. “I was too busy thinking about you.” He bent down and kissed her. Tootie calmed down a little. “Yeah,” she said. “You are lucky. I would have killed you if you had forgotten to call me.”

There was a knock at the door. Tootie opened it and saw Natalie standing there. “Are you ready?” Natalie asked. “I figured if we get to Blair’s a little early we could help her out or something.” Tootie nodded. “Sure,” she said. “Lets go.”

Natalie went to her room to get Snake and Noah. “Is Aunt Blair going to let us use her pool?” Noah asked anxiously. Natalie answered. “Of course.” Noah was happy. He hadn’t wanted to come to Peekskill, but now he was starting enjoy himself. “This is really a fun vacation mom,” Noah said cheerfully. They piled into a cab. Then both families headed to Blair’s house.

Chapter 99

When Rick woke up, he was still laying next to Jo on the bed. He had fallen asleep while they were talking the night before, and managed to sleep there all night. He had missed waking up with her next to him. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Jo’s eyes fluttered open. “Good morning,” Rick smiled at her. Then he kissed her on the lips. Jo smiled at him. “Good morning,” she said.

Rick helped her out of bed, and Jo headed immediately for the bathroom. She came out a few minutes later, walking slowly with her hand on her back. “Are you alright?” Rick asked her. He quickly went over to her and offered his arm for her to lean on. Jo winced a little. “I think so,” she said. “But I am having some back pain. I think today might finally be the day.” Rick placed his hand on her stomach, which was now hard and tight when he touched it. “Maybe we shouldn’t go to Blair’s barbecue,” he suggested.

Jo shook her head. “I still want to go,” she said. “I haven’t felt any strong contractions yet. It could be false labor, or just a back ache,” she laughed. “Besides, we’ll still need someone to watch the girls, and all of our friends will be at Blair’s Fourth of July barbecue.” Rick was still concerned, but agreed to going. “I’ll go make sure the kids are ready,’ he said leaving Jo alone in the bedroom.

Jo walked to the closet and pulled out the most comfortable thing she could find…a shorts jumper that she thought made her look ridiculous. It was pink with pale blue polka dots, and she thought it made her look like a huge circus clown, but she decided to wear it anyway. She knew it was hot outside, and the jumper was lightweight and still loose enough to button up around her large belly.

She went into the bathroom, and turned on the shower. She thought maybe a cool shower would make her feel better. She carefully stepped over the tub. “Whoa,” she sighed. “This tub is getting harder and harder for my legs to climb over.” She laughed as she realized she was now talking to herself. She finished the shower quickly and got out.

After she finished dressing, she went into the living room. The girls were all ready, and Rick was with them. He walked over to her. “Why did you take a shower without telling me?” he whispered. Jo looked at him a giggled. “What?” she asked. Rick still looked concerned. “You could have slipped or something,” he said. Jo smiled at him. “Well, I didn’t,” she said. “Come on, we have a barbecue to get to.”

“Are we going now?” Katie asked excitedly. She was already wearing her swimming suit and had her arm floaties in her hands. “Yeah, lets go,” Charli added. “I want to see Aunt Blair and everybody.” Jo laughed. “Okay, we’re going.” She began to walk towards the door, but stopped and cringed at the pain in her back again. Rick put his hand on her back. “Are you still doing okay?” he asked as massaged her back with his hand. Jo nodded. “I’m fine.” She said. “It stopped. Now lets go.” Rick didn’t move. “Maybe we should take the girls to the barbecue, and then go to the hospital,” he suggested. Jo smiled. “Don’t be silly,’ she said. “It is way to early to go to the hospital. This could be false labor. You know that happened with Katie and Jordyn both.” Rick looked unsure. “I guess,” he said. “But promise you’ll tell me if it gets worse.” Jo nodded. “I promise. Now lets go. We don’t want to be late.”

Chapter 100

Natalie and Tootie were helping Blair set up for the barbecue. Mrs. Garrett and Beverly Ann were sitting at the patio table watching Snake, Noah, Jeff, and Ontario splashing in the pool. David came out in his trunks. “Aren’t you ladies going to swim?” he asked. They laughed. “Maybe later,” Tootie said. David kissed Blair. “Are we ready to make our announcement yet?” he whispered in her ear. “Later,” she smiled.

The three women walked into the house. They were in the kitchen when they heard a car outside. Soon, Rick, Jo and the girls came in. “Can we swim now?” Katie asked Blair as soon as she came in. Blair laughed. “No hello?” she asked. Katie hugged her and kissed her. Then she started to run for the pool. “Hey,” Rick said as he snatched her bathing suit strap. “Wait a second.” He turned to Jo. “Are you going to be okay if I take the girls swimming?”

Jo laughed. “I think I can yell out to the pool if I need you,” she said. “Go have fun.” Rick looked at Blair, Natalie, and Tootie. “She’s in labor,” he said. “But she won’t admit it. Keep an eye on her, please.” Natalie put her arm around Jo. “I won’t let her out of my sight,” Natalie and Jo both laughed. Rick shook his head in frustration and took the girls to the pool.

“Are you really in labor?” Blair asked Jo after Rick had left. Jo replied. “I think so,” she said. “But it is early. I haven’t had any pains for quite a while.” Jo reached to pull a chair out from the table. “I’m okay. He just worries. Right now I need to sit though.” Tootie helped her sit down. Jo’s breathing was heavy and she rubbed her stomach lightly as she sat. “Are you sure you’re okay?” Tootie asked her. Jo nodded, “Yes Tootie. I’m just fine.”

Mrs. Garrett walked in. “Hi honey,” she said to Jo. “I hear it’s going to be baby time soon.” Jo laughed. “Maybe,” she said. Mrs. Garrett patted Jo’s stomach. “These babies feel ready to me,” she said. “I bet we’ll have Independence Day babies.” Jo laughed. Tootie looked excited. “I just thought of the perfect names for the babies,” she shouted. “If they are born today, you can name them Liberty and Justice!”

Everyone laughed. Jo giggled, “I am not naming my kids Liberty and Justice,” she said laughing harder. “Well it was just a suggestion,” Tootie said. Everyone was laughing, but Jo stopped suddenly. Her face cringed in pain and she began to breath deeply. Blair knelt down next to her and took her hand, as Jo squeezed it. “Do you want me to get Rick?” Blair asked. Jo shook her head. “I’m okay now,” she exhaled. “These contractions are random and pretty short. I don’t want to get him all nervous again until I have to.” Mrs. Garrett smiled. “Okay honey,’ she said. “But you relax and let us know if you need anything.”

Chapter 101
Natalie, Tootie, and Mrs. Garrett took the meat out for the grill, leaving Jo and Blair in the kitchen. “How have you been feeling?” Jo asked Blair as they were sitting at the table. Blair answered, “Okay, I guess. I threw up this morning.” Jo laughed and Blair looked angry. “Sorry,” Jo said. “It’s just been there…done that.” Blair laughed. “What do you say we go out and watch the kids swim while David finishes barbecuing?” Blair asked. Jo sighed, “Does that mean I have to get up?” she asked jokingly. Blair laughed. “I’ll help you.” She helped Jo out of the chair and out to the patio.

When lunch was prepared, everyone sat at the patio tables to eat. Andy and Gina had arrived, and they were discussing their upcoming wedding. “You have been engaged for over a year,” Beverly Ann said. “When are you going to get this wedding over with?” Everybody laughed. “We are just taking our time,” Andy said. Then he kissed Gina.

Jo was picking at her food. She looked up and saw everyone staring at her. “What?” she asked. Rick looked worried. “Are you sure you are not ready to go to the hospital?” Jo was beginning to be annoyed by his constant concern. “I am fine!” She yelled. Then she realized how testy she was with him. “Sorry,” she said softly. Rick gently took her hand in his.

After lunch, Blair said she had an announcement to make. “David and I are going to have a baby,” she said happily. Everyone was excited. “Congratulations,” Tootie shouted. “Pretty soon this family will be full of babies.” Natalie hugged Blair. “I am so happy for you,” she said. Mrs. Garrett walked over to Blair. She hugged her and smiled. “You deserve this sweetie,” she said. “God is sending you a miracle.”

Thanks for all the nice replies.

OMG!! This is AWESOME!!! MORE MORE MORE!!(oy yea, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!;))

Chapter 102

“When do we get to go to the lake to get ready for fireworks?” Charli asked. Everyone had been sitting around talking for a few hours, and the conversation seemed to drift between talk of Blair and David’s new baby or the fact that Jo had not had any contractions in an hour and a half. Rick looked at her. “I don’t think Mommy and Daddy are going,” he said. Charli looked upset, “Oh,” she said softly.

“Rick,” Jo said softly. “Why don’t you take the girls? You guys can go with the kids, and the ladies can all stay here.” Rick shook his head. “No way,” he said. “I am not going down to the lake when you are in labor. You couldn’t get a hold of me.” Jo laughed. “I haven’t had a contraction in so long. It was probably just false labor. Besides, David has a cell phone. I could call you. The kids want to go. It’s not fair to disappoint them.” Rick looked at his daughters’ pleading faces. “I don’t know,” he said. “It’s crowded and I might never get out of there in time, even if you call me.”

Jeff laughed. “You know Rick, I think she wants to get you out of her hair.” Tootie giggled. “We won’t let her have the babies without you,” she smiled. David spoke up, “I think it would be good for everyone. The kids will have fun, the ladies can have some time alone, and maybe you will relax a little. For someone with four kids already, you are one of the most nervous expectant fathers I’ve ever seen.” Rick laughed. “Okay, if you all insist.” Jo smiled. “I do insist,” she said. “Everything will be fine.” Rick kissed her. “I still don’t like this,” he said. “But I guess I’m out numbered.” “We better get going,” Snake suggested. “I know it’s early, but you have to get there early to get a good spot.” “I’ll go with you,” Beverly Ann said. “We can take the Winnebago.” Andy and Gina decided to go too.

Everyone headed for the Winnebago. “Let me see your cell phone,” Rick said to David. He checked to make sure it was on, and David looked strangely at him. “I was just checking to make sure the power was on,” Rick said. “These things can switch off pretty easily without you noticing.” He sat it down on the seat. The kids began to pile in. Katie crawled from the front to the back seat, lightly stepping on the cell phone and switching it off. Nobody noticed. David picked it up and put it in the carrying case attached to his pocket, and they all drove to the lake.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmmmmm, I wonder what will happen next? I bet no one can figure it out. j/k LOL!

Chapter 103

“Thank goodness he is out of here,” Jo sighed as the Winnebago drove out of sight. “He was making me crazy.” Tootie laughed. “He’s just worried about you,” she smiled. “I think it’s sweet.” Natalie added, “Yeah, he is being very sweet. Are you two maybe…getting along better?” Jo laughed. “Okay you busy bodies. Rick and I are talking about getting back together. Nothing has been decided yet, but yes Nat, you could say we’re getting along a lot better.”

“I think that is wonderful,” Mrs. Garrett added. “You have a lovely family Jo, and those kids need their father and you need him too.” Jo nodded. “I know Mrs. G,” she sighed. She turned to Blair. “Do you mind if I lay down on your couch?” she asked. “My back is killing me and I just can’t sit like this anymore.” Blair looked worried. “Sure Jo,” she said, “But are you sure you’re alright? Do you need anything?” Jo shook her head. “I’m fine.” Jo laughed. “I may need some help getting out of this chair and onto the couch though.” Natalie helped her up and helped Jo lower herself to the couch.

“Thanks Nat,’ Jo said. She placed her hands on her stomach and sighed. “Have you ever seen anything so huge?” she asked annoyed. Everyone laughed. “Come on,” Blair said. “Stop feeling sorry for yourself.” “That’s right,” Natalie said. “This is almost over for you. Poor Blair still has all of this to look forward too.” Blair looked frustrated at Natalie as Jo began to laugh hysterically. “Shut up,” Blair said.

Jo stopped laughing. “Sorry,” she said still smiling. Then she began to giggle again. Natalie and Tootie were laughing too. “I’m glad you think this is so funny,” Blair said. Then she began to laugh a little. “Okay, so I’ll probably be as big as a house,” she said. “It will be worth it.” Mrs. Garrett smiled. “Of course it will sweetie.”

Suddenly Jo stopped laughing. She closed her eyes tightly and her face scrunched up. She was obviously in pain. Natalie grabbed her hand and Jo squeezed it. Finally she released Natalie’s hand and took a deep breath. “Are you okay honey?” Mrs. Garrett asked. Jo nodded her head. “That was the first contraction I have had in a while, but it was a lot stronger than the others.” She was rubbing her stomach with her hand. “I think we better time the contractions. I feel like we may need to head for the hospital pretty soon.”

This is sweet. Please post more.

You have to post more soon I'm really curious to see how JO is going to get a hold of Rick since the cell phone got turned off.

AWESOME! Please add more!

I am getting ready to leave for my last day of work before summer vacation. I thought I would post a little before I go!

Chapter 104
Jo’s contractions were coming regularly now. Tootie was timing them, and they were about seven minutes apart. “I want to go to the hospital,” Jo said. She turned to Blair. “Call Rick and tell him to meet us there.” Blair nodded her head. “Okay,” she said. “Let’s get you to the car, and we’ll call from my cell phone on the way to the hospital.”

Everyone piled into Blair’s car. Blair was going to drive and Mrs. Garrett sat in the passenger’s seat next to her. Natalie and Tootie sat in the back with Jo. Tootie was holding Jo’s hand and Jo squeezed tightly every time she had a contraction. Blair threw her cell phone back to Natalie. “Call David’s cell number.” Blair said. “It’s 555-6721.” Natalie dialed and waited. Then she looked up, “Voice mail,” she said. “What?” Blair asked. “Try it again.” Natalie dialed again and again got the voice mail message. “Leave a message,” Blair said. “Sometimes you get voice mail if he’s on the phone.” Natalie left a message. Then she passed the phone back up to Blair.

They arrived at the hospital. Tootie helped Jo out of the car. They went inside and checked in. Finally Jo was in her room. “Where is Rick?” she asked. “They should have heard Nat’s message by now.” Blair picked up the phone, but Jo grabbed her arm as another contraction began. As the pain of the contraction lessened, Jo looked pleadingly at Blair. “Please call again,” she said. Blair dialed the phone, but again heard the voice mail message. She looked sadly at Jo. “The phone must be turned off or something,” she said. “I’m sorry.”

Jo started to talk, but stopped with the pain of the next contraction. When it stopped she looked at Blair. “You have to find Rick,” she said almost in hysterics. “I need him. I can’t do this without him. I’ve never had a baby without him before, and I can’t do it. I just can’t.” Blair took Jo’s hand. “He’ll get here,” she said. “We will get a hold of him. I promise.” She looked at Natalie, Tootie, and Mrs. Garrett. “And until then, you have all of us.”

This is great. Please post more.

Chapter 105

Mrs. Garrett was sitting next to Jo’s bed. “You’re doing a good job honey,” she said. Jo looked at her. “Where is Rick?” she asked. “He has to get here soon.” Mrs. Garrett began to stroke Jo’s hair softly. “I know you want him,” she said. “It’ll be okay.”

Blair went to the hall and Natalie and Tootie followed. “What are we going to do?” Natalie asked. “How did that phone get turned off anyway?” Blair shook her head. “I don’t know, but we have to get Rick to the hospital somehow. I don’t think we have much time.” Tootie looked at her friends. “Well, the fireworks display doesn’t even start for about an hour. Do you think one of us could drive there and find them at the lake?” Blair shook her head. “No way,” she answered. “It is so crowded there we would never find them.”

Blair looked at Natalie and Tootie. “Hey, do Snake or Jeff have cell phones?” Natalie shook her head. “Snake doesn’t believe in all this ‘technology.’ He thinks it is destroying the world.” Tootie laughed. “That sounds like Snake.” Then she looked at Blair. “Jeff has one at home, but he didn’t bring it on the trip because we don’t have nation-wide coverage and he is too cheap to pay roaming charges.” Blair rolled her eyes. “Well great…a cheapskate and a cave man. Boy can you two really pick ‘em.”

They continued to discuss possibilities, coming to no answer. It was noisy in the hall. Nurses were going to the front desk and talking on the phone. One nurse, a young woman with brown hair, bumped into them, and then rushed to the front desk. They watched her as she told an older nurse at the desk to page a Dr. Groves. “He’s not on tonight,” the nurse replied. The younger nurse responded, “Page him anyway. We need him up here.”

“Hey,” Natalie said suddenly. “Doesn’t David work here?” Blair nodded her head, confused by what Natalie was trying to say. “Well,” Natalie began, “Have them page David. Then when he calls back, they can tell him Jo is in labor and Rick needs to get up here.” Tootie smiled. “Great idea Nat. Also when he gets out his phone to call the hospital, he’ll see it was turned off and how many messages we’ve left. He’ll know it’s urgent.”

Blair walked up to the desk. She explained the situation to the nurse, who laughed a little but stopped when she saw Blair was not amused by their predicament. The she paged David, and they all waited for him to respond.

Chapter 106

The sun was beginning to go down. At the lake, there was a lot of noise, but everyone was in a playful mood. “See, aren’t you glad you came?” Jeff asked Rick as they were sitting in the grass watching the kids play. Rick nodded. “I guess,” he said. “But I’m still worried about Jo.” Beverly Ann turned to him. “They would call if they needed you. I bet Jo’s just sitting at home waiting for you.”

“Watch me,” Charli yelled. She was doing cartwheels in the grass. “Good job cutie pie,” Andy yelled to her. Gina smiled at him. “These kids love you,” she said softly. Then she kissed him. Jordyn was sitting down holding Katie who was almost asleep. Snake and Noah were eating popcorn and Ricki was playing with Ontario. Suddenly they heard a beeping sound.

“What is that?” Beverly Ann asked. David looked down. “It’s my pager. It must be the hospital.” He turned it off and pulled out his cell phone. “Why is this off?” he said confused. He began to dial. “It was off!” Rick yelled. “Oh no, what if Jo had the twins and I missed it?” David was talking to the nurse. “Uh huh, okay…we’re on our way.”

He looked up at everyone. “We have to get to the hospital. Jo is in labor and has been for quite some time. We need to hurry or we’ll be too late.” Everyone began to pile into the Winnebago. Rick looked at the kids. “I guess we’re going to miss the fireworks. Sorry.” Noah smiled. “That’s okay. We can watch them on TV from the waiting room. New babies are more important.” Rick smiled. “Thanks Noah.”

David looked down at his cell phone. “They’ve left ten messages. How did this thing get turned off?” Snake replied. “That’s why I don’t believe in those things. Society is too dependent on a little machine. It’s dangerous.” Jeff laughed. Rick looked worried. “I just hope we make it on time. I can’t let Jo go through this alone. She needs me.” He looked at his watch as they made their way down the road.

Chapter 107

“He’ll be here soon,” Blair said softly as Jo continued to ask for Rick. Jo looked at her. She was exhausted and in severe pain. She thought this labor had been much more difficult than it had been with any of her daughters, and all she wanted was for Rick to be there to help her. “He can’t miss this.” She cried. “He didn’t want to be a part of this in the beginning, but now these babies mean the world to him. It’s not fair for him to miss it.” As the next contraction hit, Jo quit talking and began her Lamaze breathing. When it was over she continued, “I want Rick,” she cried.

Natalie walked over to Jo’s bed. “He’s going to make it in time,” she said convincingly enough that Jo began to calm down a little. “Yeah,” Tootie added, ‘I promised him that we wouldn’t let you have those babies without him. So I know he’ll make it.” Tootie picked up a wet cloth and wiped Jo’s forehead with it. “I made him go to the stupid lake,” Jo added. “I should have let him stay.” Her next contraction began and everyone did their best to help her through it.

Mrs. Garrett smiled. “You made him go to the lake because you wanted him to calm down a little. There is nothing wrong with that. The phone was turned off by accident,” She reached out and took Jo’s hand. “If Rick misses the birth of his sons, it will be a shame. But if that happens, it is not your fault or his.” Jo began to squeeze her hand tightly as the next contraction began.

When the contraction ended she let go realizing how hard she had squeezed. “I’m sorry Mrs. G. I didn’t mean to hurt you or anything,” Jo said almost in a whisper. Mrs. Garrett smiled. “You didn’t hurt me honey. I may be becoming an old woman, but I’m not a frail old person. You squeeze as hard as you need to.”

The doctor came in to check on Jo. He smiled gently. “Well, it looks like these little boys are ready to make their first appearance in the world.” Jo spoke quickly. “No! Not yet. My husband isn’t here yet. I need him.” The doctor looked sadly at her. “I’m sorry,” he said sympathetically. “But the babies are ready, your body is ready, and we just can’t wait. I want you to push with the next contraction.”

I NEED MORE!!!!!!! Keep Posting or i will annoy you with private messages MAWHAHAHA :joke: Just Post MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter 108

“Which of you will be staying?” the doctor asked as he looked at Natalie, Tootie, Blair and Mrs. Garrett. “What do you mean?” Blair asked. The doctor looked at them knowing they were obviously the closest of friends. “I mean only one person can stay for the birth.” Jo shook her head. “No, if Rick can’t be here, I want all of them. They have all helped me through the labor. I want them for the delivery.” The doctor felt bad for her. This poor woman was giving birth to twins, her husband was nowhere to be found. He smiled. “I guess we could break the rules this once.”

Rick rushed through the door of the hospital. He ran up to the desk. “I’m looking for my wife…well my ex-wife. She’s having a baby…two babies…twins. Where is she?” The nurse smiled at him. “What is her name sir?” Rick caught his breath, “Joanna Bonner, or Polniaczek. I guess probably Polniaczek, she went back to her maiden name after the divorce. Why am I going into this? Where is she?” The nurse told him to follow her and led him to Jo’s room.

Rick opened the door. Blair was on the left side of Jo’s bed and Natalie was on the right. Jo was squeezing their hands as she pushed. Tootie and Mrs. Garrett were there too. As Jo stopped pushing, she lay back on the bed and Mrs. Garrett cooled her face with a cool cloth. “You’re doing good honey,” she said encouragingly. Rick rushed over to the bed.

“I’m here,” he said out of breath. “I am so sorry Jo.” Jo grabbed his arm and looked at him. “What took you so long?” she shouted. “And how did the damn phone get turned off?” Rick didn’t have time to explain because another contraction came and Jo needed to push again. He held her hand and stroked her damp hair. “Come on sweetheart, you're doing good.” He said as he kissed her forehead. Jo stopped pushing and took a deep breath. “I’m glad you made it,” she said through her tears. “Me too,’ Rick answered nearly crying himself.

This is good. Post more.

Oh, my goodness gracious, I love this fan fic. LOL Please post more soon!!!

AWESOME! Please add more!!

Thanks for all the nice comments. Here is some more.

Chapter 109

Blair, Natalie, Tootie and Mrs. Garrett walked into the waiting room. Although Jo and Rick had said they were welcome to stay, they had decided it would be better to leave the couple alone to experience the miracle of their children’s birth. It had been a long night and they sat down exhausted.

“How’s my mom?” Ricki asked as they came into the room. Blair smiled at her. “She’s doing okay honey.” Jordyn looked at them. “Are the twins here yet?” Natalie shook her head. “Not yet, but it won’t be long.” Tootie sat down next to Jeff and reached for Ontario who was sleeping in his arms. Then she leaned her head over on Jeff’s shoulder and closed her eyes.

Blair looked at her husband. “Okay,” she said. “When are you going to explain about the cell phone?” David looked at her afraid that she would be really upset, but she was smiling then so he knew everything would be all right. “I can’t explain it,” he said. “It must have been switched off somehow.” Blair kissed him. “At least you made it. Poor Jo, she was so upset without Rick. You know, when it gets close to my due date, I am not letting you out of my sight.” David laughed and kissed her.

Mrs. Garrett smiled when she saw Andy and Gina holding Charli and Katie. Both little girls were sound asleep, too tired to await the arrival of their new baby brothers. “Looks like you two have your hands full tonight,” Mrs. Garrett smiled. Gina nodded. “They are so sweet though,” she looked at Andy. “I think I want a bunch of kids.” Natalie laughed. “Go into that room with Jo for a few minutes and you might just change your mind.” Gina laughed.

“Hey, when do you think we can have a baby in our family?” Noah asked as he sat next to his mother and stepfather. Snake smiled at him. “You really want a baby in the house?” he asked. Noah nodded his head. Snake looked at Natalie. “Maybe someday,” she said.

Beverly Ann turned on the TV in the waiting room. There was nothing to do but wait. They watched the fireworks display on television while they waited. “See,” Noah said softly. “I told you we could watch the fireworks from the hospital.” Then he yawned and leaned over on his mother. Natalie looked at him, then at Blair and David who were cuddled together; Jeff, Tootie and Ontario; Andy and Gina with all of the Bonner children awaiting the arrival of their new brothers, Mrs. G and Beverly Ann talking together in the corner. She knew this was a special family, and she felt blessed to be a part of it.

That's so sweet. Please add more.

(WHISTLES) MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I am going to say this, BUT I am actually finished! I thought about posting it in parts, but since I finished I figured I would post the whole thing. Thanks to everyone who has been a loyal reader and to all of you who sent me ideas for baby names. I actually didn't use any of the suggestion. They were all good, but the names I used popped into my head and I thought they were important to the story. Thanks everybody...and enjoy!!!!!!

Chapter 110

“Come on Jo,” Rick said happily, “You can do it. Just one more push.” Jo clenched his hands and pushed. “Here he is,” the doctor announced holding up the first baby boy. “God Jo, look at him,” Rick said in awe of his first-born son. Jo was crying, “Give him to me,” she said sobbing. The doctor handed the tiny baby to his mother. “You hold him for a minute and rest,” the doctor said softly. “Then we’ll need to deliver his brother.”

Jo smiled at the baby. “He is so beautiful,” she said to Rick. Rick kissed her gently and softly touched his son’s small hand. The baby was crying and wrinkling up his face. “He is perfect,” he said in a whisper. The nurse came over to take the baby and Jo reluctantly gave him to her. It was time to deliver the next baby and she wasn’t sure she had the energy to do it.

“I am too tired,” she said leaning back on the bed. Rick held her close to him. “I know you’re tired honey,” he said gently. “But you can do this. A few more pushes and we can meet our other son.” Jo began to push and after several pushes the second baby was born. “Look at this handsome fellow,” the doctor said lifting him up for the parents to see.

He handed the baby to Jo and she couldn’t believe she had actually managed to give birth to two perfect little babies just minutes apart. She was crying and Rick began to cry himself. The nurse came to take the baby and clean him up. Soon she brought both crying babies back to their parents. She handed one baby to Jo and the other baby to Rick.

“They are so tiny,” Rick said. “The girls were not this little.” Jo laughed a little. “They are little, but they are absolutely perfect.” Rick kissed her as he looked at his sons. “You know,” he said looking at the baby in Jo’s arms, “he has more hair than his brother.” Jo grinned as she looked at the baby in Rick’s arms, “And he is a little bigger than this little guy.” Rick laughed. “Well he is older.” Jo laughed, “Four minutes, Rick.”

Rick put the baby in Jo’s arms so she could hold both of them together. “We can’t put it off much longer,” he said. “What are we going to name them.” Jo smiled. “Tootie thinks we should name them Liberty and Justice.” Rick laughed. “Don’t tell me you like those names?” Jo shook her head. “Of course not, but I do have an idea.” She looked at him pleadingly and he knew it was important to her. “I want to name them after Blair, Nat, Tootie, and Mrs. G.”

“Jo,” he began not wanting to upset her. “We can’t give our sons girl’s names.” Jo laughed, “No,” she said. “I was thinking of maybe Garrett Ramsey Bonner and Warner Green Bonner. What do you think? I know they are unusual names, but I want to honor my friends for all they’ve done for me. They helped me through this.” Rick looked down at the babies cooing in Jo’s arms. “Well, they seem to like their new names. I think those names are perfect.” He kissed Jo gently on the lips.

Chapter 111

Rick went out to the waiting room to announce the arrival of his new sons. Everyone looked up and saw him standing there. “Well?” Ricki asked anxiously. Rick smiled, “Two perfect baby boys…five pounds; eleven ounces and five pounds; six ounces. They were born at 11:37 and 11:41pm.” Ricki ran up and hugged her father. “When can we see them?” she asked. Rick smiled at her. “Later,” he said. “In the morning.”

Blair went up to Rick, “How is Jo?” she asked. Rick looked at her worried face and replied, “Jo is fine. She’s asleep.” Blair reached out and hugged him. Then she pulled away realizing how strained their relationship had been and how her embrace may have been uncomfortable for him. “I am so glad you made it in time,” she said. “I don’t know if Jo could have done it without you.” Rick looked at her and smiled. “I’m glad I made it too, but Jo would have been okay. She had you.” Blair wiped tears from her face, “Thanks,” she whispered.

“So,” Jordyn added. “What do they look like? Are they cute?” Rick laughed. “Of course,” he smiled. “They are both precious. They both have brown hair; one of them has a lot more than the other though. And they both have big green eyes and tiny little hands and feet.” Noah came up to them. “Do they look like you or Aunt Jo,” he asked. Rick answered, “I think they look more like Jo, but she thinks they have my nose.”

Mrs. Garrett came up to offer her congratulations. “I know you want to get back to Jo and the babies.” She turned to everyone else. “Why don’t we all go home and come back in the morning? Then everyone can see how beautiful the babies are.” Everyone agreed that it would best to go home for the night and come back in the morning. Rick kissed the girls good-bye. Then he turned to Blair, Natalie, Tootie, and Mrs. Garrett. “Thanks for helping Jo through this,” he said. “We both really appreciate all you did.” Tootie smiled. “Hey, we had to help her out. I promised we’d take care of her and keep her from having the twins until you got here.” Natalie laughed. “Yeah,” she said. “That’s what family is for.”

Chapter 112

The next morning, Jo was sitting in her room holding the babies. She turned to Rick who was sitting in a chair next to her bed. “I still can’t believe it,” she said. “They are so wonderful.” Rick smiled, “Believe it,” he said. Then he sounded more sincere, “Jo, I know this may not be the best time, but have you thought about us?” Jo looked at him. She held her sons close to her. “Yeah,” she said. “I’ve been thinking about us a lot.”

Rick took the babies from her and laid them in their little beds. Then he sat on the edge of her bed. “Well?” he said. Jo looked at him. “Well…we have problems, you know that…and we have been through so much. But I love you. I have had six children with you. I need you,” she began to cry and Rick pulled her close to him. “I’m sorry for all I’ve put you through,” Rick said softly. “I’m sorry about the divorce and the way I reacted when you told me you were pregnant. I’m sorry about Shelley and California. I’m sorry I kept you from your friends all those years. I’m just so sorry…” Jo interrupted. “I’m sorry too…I never believed you about the accident. I blamed you for so long. I ended our marriage. And what is worse…I never told you how much I really loved you.”

“I know how much you love me,” Rick said softly. He kissed her on the lips. “And I love you more than life itself. We both made mistakes, but I think we deserve a second chance.” Jo wiped her tears. “I think so too,” she said. “I want you to move back in with me and the kids.” Rick nodded. “I’d like that,” he said. “But first, I want us to get married. Will you be my wife, again?” Jo smiled and kissed him. “Yes,” she said. “I want to be your wife…again.”

Chapter 113

There was a soft knock at the door and Jo and Rick ended their kiss. “Come in,” Jo said softly. Mrs. Garrett peeked into the room. “Are you ready for visitors?” she asked. Jo smiled. “Of course, come in.” Mrs. Garrett, Blair, Natalie, and Tootie came in followed by Jo and Rick’s four daughters. “Wow, what a crowd,” Rick laughed. “Where’s the rest of the gang?” Mrs. Garrett smiled, “We figured this was enough visitors for now. In fact we weren’t sure they would let us all in, but no one said anything.”

Katie walked over to her mother’s bed, “I missed you Mommy,” she said. Rick picked her up and sat her on his lap. Jo kissed her little girl, “I missed you too,” she said. “But I can come home tomorrow and bring your new brothers.” Katie looked over and saw the sleeping babies. “Ohhh,” she said. “They are little.”

“They are cute,” Charli said. Ricki and Jordyn smiled at their new brothers. “Are they okay?” Ricki asked. “They are really little.” Jo nodded her head. “They are fine,” she said. “Very healthy.” Tootie grinned at the babies. “Oh Jo, they are beautiful. Can I hold one of them?” Jo smiled, “Sure,” she said. Tootie picked up one of the babies and Natalie picked up the other one. “What sweet little boys,” Natalie said. Blair reached for the baby so Tootie handed him to her and Natalie handed the other baby to Mrs. Garrett. “So do these handsome little guys have names yet?” Mrs. Garrett asked.

Jo smiled, “Yes, actually…they do.” Rick looked at everyone. “Jo and I wanted our sons to have special names, and I think they have the best names.” Jo announced, “Mrs. G. you are holding the first baby, Garrett Ramsey Bonner; and Blair you are
holding the second twin, Warner Green Bonner.” Everyone was shocked by the names. “Jo, you didn’t have to…” Blair began but Jo cut her off. “I did have to,” Jo said. She began to cry. “I couldn’t have done this without the four of you. These babies are a part of all of us.”

“Do you really want his middle name to be Green?” Natalie asked looking lovingly at her namesake. “It is a little odd.” Jo laughed. “He’ll be unique,” she said. Natalie hugged her. Tootie smiled. “Little Garrett has the same middle name as Ontario,” she laughed. “I never thought you’d name one of them after me. Thanks you guys.” She hugged Jo and Rick. Mrs. Garrett smiled. “It is an honor,” she said.

A nurse walked into the room and Tootie asked her to take their picture with her camera. Everyone gathered around Jo’s bed. Jo was holding the babies and Rick was still holding Katie. Jordyn, Charli and Ricki were standing next to the bed, and Mrs. G, Natalie, Tootie, and Blair were behind them. Everyone smiled. The camera flashed. “You know,” Tootie said. “This picture will need to be in a frame.” Everyone laughed. The babies began to fuss. Jo bent down and kissed them and the nurse took another picture. Jo smiled, “Maybe I should get one of those ‘Happy Family’ frames,” she said. As she looked around, she realized how lucky she was, and she was very happy.
