This is the final chapter!!!!! I have decided to put it all together and make a real long final post.
I want to thank you all for reading throughout the months. This story has been a test of my will and while it was hard to end this I can't say that I am sad it is over. I am ready to move on from here and write freely. This will always be my first, and hopefully toughest, challenge.
Again, I thank you all!

"Jack.... wake up Jack!"

Sue was still in front of him wrapped tightly in his arms. Slowly bringing himself into consciousness he reached to turn on the lamp behind him. As Sue turned to face him he felt the dampness of the bed sheet on his leg. Looking into her eyes he knew. "Jack, my water just broke. It's time."

That was four hours ago and Jack had almost wore a trench into the floor of the hospital room. Why God was putting Sue through this long labour process was beyond him, why couldn't she have been blessed with the quick labour his mother said she had experienced with him? Sue was currently talking with Lucy and Tara, who both still looked beautiful with their hair and make-up done because of the wedding. Jack wondered if Bobby would ever forgive him, or Sue, for pulling them away on what was his and Tara's honeymoon night to stand vigil in a hospital. Maybe if he named a baby after him.......

Sue's cry of pain pulled him out of his thoughts. Running over to her side he pressed the cool cloth to her forehead. "Jack, it's getting more intense! It's got to be soon!"

The nurse came into the room and check on Sue. Smiling she stood by Sue's side and looked at Jack. "It's time."

Sue had never pushed so hard in all her life. Her strength came from places unknown and if Jack's hand didn't break under the pressure she was squeezing it with then he was stronger than anyone thought. With her mother and Lucy standing beside her she pushed again. Jack pressed tight kisses onto her clenched fist as a silent reminder of his love, affection and pride. He stroked her cheek and said, "One more push beautiful."

Sue bore down with impossible strength and pushed. Feeling a sudden release she closed her eyes and lid back on the pillow. Lucy went over to see the little baby who was screaming. Bouncing back she hugged Carla and squeezed Sue's hand, causing her to open eyes. "It's a boy, a beautiful baby boy."

Jack's eyes filled with tears as he leaned down to kiss his wife. A son, a boy that would grow into a man of honour and justice. Wiping the tears from her eyes and his own, he smiled, "Thank you sweetheart, thank you. He's perfect. But just a few more pushes Sue and it will be all over and our second little set of lungs will be here."

Sue lifted her head trying to see her son. "Is he crying, is he ok?"

Jack moved her bangs away from her forehead. "He's yelling right now. I think he misses his mommy."

Sue's eyes filled with tears, "I'm so tired Jack, I don't know if I can do this again!"

Carla squeezed her daughter's hand. "Sue you can do this! You have done things in your life that many people deemed impossible. I refuse to let you give up on something that you are fully capable of. Plus, I want to see my second Grandbaby!!!"

Nodding she closed her eyes again, resting her head against her and Jack's clasped hands. Feeling a squeeze she took in a large breath and opened her eyes. Nodding at her husband she pushed with everything in her. The pushing continued until she felt that same glorious release as before. Falling back in pure exhaustion she wept. The pain was unreal but her emotions were more overwhelming.

Lucy tapped her arm, encouraging her to sit up as she saw Jack come towards her holding their children. One was calmly lying in a pale blue blanket while the other thrashed her tiny fists away from the soft pink fabric wrapped around her. Reaching out Jack placed the innocent little boy in her arms. Noticing her mother and Lucy move to the back of the room she looked down and saw herself and Jack in the baby, brown hair with hazel eyes. He looked content as a bird in his little cocoon. Kissing his forehead she smiled, he really was perfect. Looking up she saw Jack staring at her. The little pink bundle was quieting down in her Daddy's arms. Shifting on the bed she urged him to sit beside her. Looking over the folds of pink blanket she saw a pair of big chocolate eyes staring back at her. Looking up she smiled at her husband, "Uh oh, looks like you're going to have trouble with her if she uses those eyes like her Daddy."

Jack kissed Sue on the cheek and rested his forehead against hers. Watching his son he saw him drift to sleep in his mother's arms. Grinning he moved back so Sue could read him. "Well it's a good thing she has an older brother and an overprotective father. Here, let me hold him."

Switching, Sue now cradled the little girl with her own blonde hair in her arms. She counted her fingers and toes making sure everything was in place. She was strong and didn't like being picked at, something Sue could relate to. Following her daughter's line of vision she saw it was squarely placed on Jack. Laughing Sue shook her head, "You're born for all of ten minutes and you've already got him wrapped around your little finger. It's a good thing I'm not the jealous type!"

Jack laughed and then gently kissed her on the lips. "Well the little man here isn't much better. He's been staring at you ever since I took him. If looks could kill his sister would be in serious trouble!"

Smiling, they both switched the babies back. It was comical to see the contentment on their children's faces as the rested in arms of the ones they attached themselves too. Noticing the flash of a camera Sue saw the nurse coming toward them. "Your family is gone to tell everyone the good news in the waiting room. They can only stay for 10 minutes, then you need to rest and the babies need to head up to the nursery." Seeing the look of panic on the parent's faces the nurse smiled, "Don't worry, they are perfectly healthy. It is standard procedure to bring them up, and you really do need to rest Sue. Can I let your family in?"

Sue looked down at her little boy who was sound asleep. "Can you give us two minutes? Thank you, for everything."

Jack looked quizzically at his wife. Sue grinned at him, "We need to give them their names, Jack, before everyone comes in."

Nodding he looked back at his now peaceful daughter. She sure was a fighter and her long legs gave her an athletic build. Sue looked at their baby boy. He knew what he wanted and didn't rest until he got it. Looking up the parents smiled at each other and slowly kissed over their sleeping children. Moving back Sue put her head on Jack's shoulder, "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

Jack signed "Yes" in front of her as their family flooded in.

Bobby and Tara stood in each other's arms, as did Myles and Lucy. D and Donna were holding cameras and their parents stood in awe of the sight in front of them. Levi came up to the bed and put his' paws on the mattress, staring at his new charges. Giving him a loving scratch Sue cleared her throat, "Everyone, we would like to introduce you all to Wesley Robert Samuel Hudson, named in honour of Special Agent Wes Kenner, Special Agent Bobby Manning and grandfather, Samuel Hudson. He is the godson of Bobby and Tara Manning, and Demetrius and Donna Gans."

Jack spoke up, "And this is Judith Lucy Carla Hudson, named in honour of Judy Clarke, Lucy Dotson and grandmother, Carla Thomas. She is the goddaughter of Myles Leland III and his fiancé Lucy Dotson, and once again, D and Donna Gans."

Noticing the amused looks on their family's faces Sue grinned, "We figured that since we get two babies, they'd need two sets of Godparents. Plus D and Donna are the only ones with experience so we wanted them to be in capable hands!"

Roaring with laughter Bobby came forward to see the newest additions. Taking a peek at Wes and Judy he leaned down to kiss Sue on the cheek. "Good job Mom. Looks like Uncle Bobby's kiddos are perfect. Make sure you have him ready for his first rugby lesson tomorrow morning, and Judy is more than welcome to come along too."

Myles scoffed loudly, "Rugby?! I'll have you know that our goddaughter will be brought up in a lady like manner and not like some wild kangaroo! She'll be..."

D cut Myles off with a raise of his hand. "As the godparents of both of them we say lets hurry up and take a picture so their mother can rest."

As everyone filed in around the new family Sue turned to Jack, "See, I told you D was the perfect choice for their Godfather!"

Jack placed a tender kiss on her lips and nodded his head, "Yes, he is. I love you. Always have and forever will."

Sue placed her head on Jack's shoulder and smiled softly for the camera, tiredness slowly overtaking her. With a flash of light a picture of the new family was sealed forever. Beside Jack stood Bobby and Tara and his parents sat in front. Beside Sue was Lucy and Myles with her parents in front of them. D and Donna stood behind the hospital bed and Levi lid across Sue's feet. It was a picture of happiness and promise and full of hope for the days to come.
