Jarod helps his wife into the house. Sydney, Broots, and the rest of the gang are waiting on them. Parker comes in carrying her new baby daughter.

"Sydney, I would like you to meet your new niece Sydney." she says as she hands her to Sydney.

"Oh, she's beautiful." he answers.

"She looks like Jarod." Broots says as he peeks over Sydney's shoulder. Parker glared at him. "Well, she does." he added after seeing her face.

"It's okay. She's mad because she favors me." Jarod answered.

"I want to see her." Catherine said as she pulled on Sydney's pants leg.

"Okay." he said. "Let me sit down and you can see her." Sydney sits and Catherine stands next to him.

Kyle comes over to them. "See." he says. He points toward the baby.

Angelo walks over to Parker, "Daughter is tired." he says.

Parker just looks at him. She gives him a hug and says, "I love you Angelo."

He looks over at her. Then Jarod says, "Why don't you rest? I will take care of things down here."

"I will later." she answers.

"Well, at least sit down." he says.

Parker sits down on the couch. Jarod sits down besides her. He takes her hand and says, "I want you to rest."

"I will, Jarod. Later. I promise." she answers.

"What did you name her?" Debbie asked.

"Sydney Jae." Parker answered.

"I like it." Sydney replied.

"She name her." Jarod said looking over at Parker.

"Well, you got to name the other two, so I named her. Don't you think that is fair, Syd."

"I guess. I don't want to be in the middle of this." he quickly answers.

After everyone got a turn to hold her, they decided it was time to leave. "Parker, we are going." Sydney said when he looked over at her.

"You don't have to rush off." she answered.

"Jarod's right, you need some rest. We will catch you later. Do you want me to take Catherine and Kyle for a while?" Sydney asked.

"No, they will be okay." Jarod answered.

"If you change your mind let me know." Sydney said as they headed out the door.

Jarod saw them out. He walked back to Parker and said, "Why don't you rest here and I will take care of everybody else?"

"Okay, I think I will now." she answered. Parker laid down on the couch. Jarod sat Sydney down in her carrier and moved the rest of his children into the kitchen. He sat the carrier down on the table.

"Did you have something for lunch?" he asked.

"No, daddy." Catherine answered.

Jarod made them a sandwich and sat down with them to eat. "Baby." Kyle says.

"That's right, baby." Jarod says.

"My baby." he says as he points toward her.

"Yes, that's your baby sister." Jarod answers again.

*********

Later in the afternoon Jarod cleans up the house. He calls Catherine and Kyle in from playing outside. "Why don't we take a bath?" he says looking at how dirty they have gotten.

"Daddy, do we have to?" Catherine asked.

"Yes, you need one." he answered.

"No, daddy. No bath." Kyle says.

"Yes. We are taking a bath." he answers. He heads them up the stairs to the bathroom. He runs the water and gets them in the tub. As they are playing he hears Sydney crying. "I'll be back." he tells them.

He goes into his room and picks her up. He gives her some water from the bottle they had gotten from the hospital. He set her in the carrier and goes back into the bathroom. He gets Catherine and Kyle washed up. He helps them out of the tub and Kyle takes off butt naked, running through the house. Parker wakes to Jarod yelling, "Kyle get back here!"

She gets up and goes up the stairs. She catches Kyle as he runs by her. Jarod meet them as she picks him up.

"Need some help here, Jarod." she says.

"No, I got it under control." he answers. "Why don't you go back and rest?"

"I will later. It looks like you need some help." she answers. They get the kids dressed and she helps him clean up the water from the bath. Sydney begins to cry. She takes Sydney and goes into the bedroom to feed her.

Jarod follows Kyle into his bedroom. "Daddy." he says.

"What?" Jarod answers.

"Ball." he says.

"Where is your ball?"

"Don't know." he says as he puts his hands up in the air.

"Let's see if we can find it." Jarod answers. He gets on his hands and knees and looks under the bed. Then he hears, "Ball." Jarod turns around toward Kyle. He is holding his ball.

"Where did you find it?" Jarod asked.

Kyle points over to the closet. "Play." he says.

"Okay. Daddy will play."

Kyle rolls the ball to his daddy and Jarod rolls it back. Catherine comes in and says, "Can I play?"

"No." Kyle answers.

"Kyle, be nice. You need to share." Jarod replies.

Kyle looks at his sister and rolls the ball to Catherine. "Play." he says.

"Now that is better. I am going to check on mommy. I will be back." Jarod says. He gets up and leaves.

Jarod comes to his bedroom door. He knocks and Parker says, "What?"

Jarod peeks in and says, "Can I come in?"

"Yes, you may." she answers.

He comes in and sits down on the bed. He kisses his daughter head and says, "Her face looks better."

"Yes, it does."

"Can I say something without you getting mad?" he asked.

She rolls her eyes like 'if you must' and answers, "I guess."

"Why don't you rest?"

"I have, Jarod."

"I know, you have a little but you have to be sore. I want you to rest a few days." he says.

"Jarod, this was the easiest delivery I have had so, I'm not that sore. Besides, I can't rest because I have two other children to take care of."

"But I am here to take care of the other two. It is not like I am running from the Centre a lot now. I am your partner, your lover, your husband, and best friend. I am here to take care of you and my family. Why won't you let me?" he says.

"Jarod, you have and I am thankful for that. I love you. I will rest some more later. I'm tired of resting, okay." she says as she looks into his brown eyes.

He can't help but look into her beautiful blue eyes. "I love you too." he answers. He reaches over to her and gives her a kiss on the forehead. "I'm going back to check on the kids." he says as he gets up from the bed.

Kyle comes running by the door. "Mommy, mommy." he says.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Love you." he says as he reaches for her. Jarod helps him on the bed and gives his mother a hug and climbs back down. He takes off back to his bedroom.

Jarod and Parker look at other and laughed. Jarod takes off behind him.

Later in the evening, Jarod and Parker get them ready for bed. After everyone is tucked in, they turn in also. Jarod is laying in the bed facing the wall. Parker says, "Jarod."

"Yeah." he answered while turning over to face her.

"I love you. I just wanted to say it again before turning in." she says.

"I love you too." he answers. She lay down beside him and gives him a kiss on the lips. He stokes her hair from her face. She lays her head down on his chest. He kisses the top of her head and wraps his arms around her. "Good night." he says.

"Good night." she answers.

They slept there the rest of the night.

The End!
