Thankfully they didn't have much farther to go before they got to the hospital. When they pulled up, Wade quickly got out of the car and ran over to Snake and Zoe. He said "You were quite a picture there, with your hair flying all over the place. I only hope that somebody took a video of you". Zoe just glared at him and said "Just help me out of here. Snake has me wedged in so tightly ythat it's hard to get out." Snake apologized and said "I was just worried that you'd bounce out or something. I just wanted to make sure that you were as comfortable as you were going to get". When Zoe finally made it out of the sidecar she went over and gave Snake a kiss. "Thank you so much for being there for me. I don't know what I would have done without you." Snake was all embarrassed since he wasn't used to being praised. Wade went and shook his hand and said "Thanks, man. I owe you big time for this one". With that they quickly went into the hospital with Zoe yelling all the way.

Zoe was all checked in and in her room as comfortable as she was going to be. "You sure are yelling a lot for such a little person", Wade said. Zoe just glared at him "Wade Kinsella, if you EVER think about whipping that thing out again, I'm going to cut it off!". She was not a happy camper at this point and the pain was much more than she remembered it to be. "Ouch", said Wade. "You know you don't really mean that, doc". She just said "Hell I don't. I just want to get this over and done with!" Brick chose that moment to come into the room. "I see Zoe is having a good time", he laughed. Zoe glared at him also. "Brick, get these babies out of me instead of standing there making wise remarks!", she said. Wade and Brick just looked at each other and shook their heads. "OK, Zoe", I'm going to check to see how far along you are", Brick said. Wade took Zoe's hand while Brick was checking how many centimeters Zoe was dilated. Surprisingly she let him hold her hand. Brick stood up and said "I think we're about ready! You're 9.5 centimeters to it could be anytime now. Let me know if you need any drugs or if you want to try and do this on your own. Since you had a c-section last time, I really wish you would reconsider. It's tough with twins". Zoe just looked at Wade and said "I really wanted to do this on my own, but I honestly don't think I have it in me. Would you be disappointed if I didn't" she looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Babe, I just want whatever is safest for you and the kids. I think what Brick is saying makes perfect sense".

Zoe looked at Brick and said "OK, we'll do it your way". Brick was very happy to hear that. "Good, because I already have the team here to do the c-section. I was kind of hoping you would go that route". Wade just laughed "pretty good thinking on your part, Brick". Brick went to get everyone assembled and left Wade and Zoe in the room. Wade looked at her and said "I love you, Zoe. Just think, when you wake up, you'll have two new kids!". Zoe winced in pain and said "I love you too, Cowboy. I'm sorry that I can't do this on my own, but it's just too much pain". "As long as everyone is safe, I'm happy however you choose to do this". He leaned down and gave her a kiss.

Brick and crew came in and got Zoe prepared for the operating room. One of the nurses handed Wade a gown and hat and told him that he had to put them on before he entered the operating room. Wade thanked her and headed into the waiting room before he donned his gown. He was surprised that there were so many people there waiting. Lavon made it back from Mobile after Lemon called him. Lemon was at home with the kids, but in constant touch with Lavon. Snake was still there, as was Jesse and AB, Earl, Lenny and George. He told them all the change of plans that Zoe was having the c-section so it probably wouldn't be as long as they originally thought. He said that they were taking here into the operating room and he had to go so that he didn't miss anything. "I promised Zoe that I would be there, so I damn well better be!" he laughed nervously. Earl came up to him and said "Son, they'll all be fine. You know Brick would never let anything happen to them". He hugged Wade and sent him on his way.

After what seemed like no time at all, the surgery was started and Wade was standing out of the way watching to see his kids enter the world. Brick was already taking out the first baby! Wade was standing on his toes trying to get a better look. Brick looked up at him and said "You have another son". Wade beamed and was about ready to cry. As he was getting his bearings back Brick looked at him and said "Here comes your little girl". They're both perfect as can be. The nurses will clean them up and bring them over to you". Wade was so excited! He just about ran into the waiting room to tell everyone that the kids were here and they were perfectly happy. As soon as the words were out of his mouth, a nurse came out and said "Mr. Kinsella, Dr. Breeland needs you in the operating room now". Wade got a look of panic on his face and Lavon ran up to him. "I'm sure it's fine, man. Don't lose control. Just get in there and see what's going on!". Wade snapped out of it and ran back into the operating room. As he entered the room, he saw Brick standing there with one of the babies. He walked slowly over to Brick and looked right in his eyes. "What happened?" he asked with a shaky voice. Brick broke out into a huge smile "We forgot this one in there! She was hidden behind the other two and we never even knew she was there. You have yet another daughter! You left the room before we discovered her" Wade just about passed out. "Oh my God" he said. "No wonder Zoe was in such pain all the time". "Triplets! I can't friggin believe it!" Brick shook his hand and said "Well, you can ago and break the news to the others and then wait for Zoe to wake up so you can break the news to her!" he laughed.

Wade walked back to the waiting room and when he got there, everyone stood up and came over by him. "What happened, son" asked Earl as he touched Wade's arm. Wade looked around at everyone and then burst out "It was triplets! There was another baby girl hidden behind the other two! Wade felt like he face was going to burst because he was smiling so big. Everyone was in shock at first, then came over and congratulated him! Lavon said "doesn't surprise me one bit" and shook his head. Everyone laughed. "Go on back in and wait for Zoe", said Lavon. "We'll be here for a while yet".

Wade ran off back into the recovery room where they had taken Zoe off to. He sat and waited, holding her hand in the meantime. Finally after quite some time, Zoe started to stir. He leaned over and kissed her, hoping it would wake her up faster. She finally opened her eyes and looked at him "How are the babies", she asked. "Well", he said. Our son was born first and our daughter was right behind. They're both fine". She breathed a sigh of relief. "BUT", he said… She looked alarm and he felt bad for scaring her. "But what", she asked. Wade looked at her and took both hands "There was a third baby hidden behind the other two. She never showed up in any of the sonograms so nobody knew she was there". Zoe just stared at him with huge eyes "You're kidding, right?". "Afraid not, sweetheart. We have triplets instead of twins. One boy and two girls". "Holy crap", said Zoe. The nurse chose that moment to come over to her to see how she was doing. Zoe proclaimed herself well enough to go back to her room, and since she was a doctor, the nurse did just that (of course Brick told them that they were to do whatever Zoe asked since she was so stubborn and they wouldn't win anyway).

When she was all settled and comfortable in the bed, the nurse asked if she would like to see the kids. Zoe and Wade both yelled "Yes!" at the same time and the nurse left to go and get them. They looked at each other lovingly and Wade said "I am so proud of you, doc. To give me three more kids is totally amazing to me. I love you so much". Zoe looked at him and smiled. "You realize that we now have four kids! Are we insane?" she laughed.

Two nurses entered the room with the bassinets holding the three little Kinsellas. They handed them their son. Zoe held him in her arms while the second nurse handed her the first daughter. Then came the littlest one of all, daughter number two. The nurse handed her to Wade since Zoe's arms were full and when then saw that they were all set, they left and told them that they would be back in a while.

They just took a minute to look at them. "Guess we'll deal with this one at a time", said Zoe. Wade agreed, still pretty much at a loss for words. They started with their son. Once again, the son looked exactly like his father. Fuzzy blond hair and hazel eyes. "Great, another heartbreaker", said Zoe. They both laughed. She looked at him and said "I know we had a name already picked out for him, but would it be OK with you if we changed the name to Jackson Lavon instead?" Wade just looked at her and said "I don't mind at all since I like the name, but where on earth did you come up with that one?" She just said "Well, I didn't want to name him Snake, so I went with Jackson, which is his real name". Wade said "I think that's a great idea. After all, he is the one that got you here safely! I'm sure he'll be thrilled". Next came baby #2. She had brown silky hair and brown eyes. "Looks like she's a little Zoe", said Wade. "Well, thankfully at least one of my kids will look like me!", she said. "Her name is Sophia Lemon", said Zoe. Wade just nodded. "Now, we have to come up with one for the surprise baby", Zoe said. The little girl was a perfect combination of both of them. Big brown eyes and blond hair. "How about Mackenzie", asked Wade. "I can call her Mack and you can call her Kenzie". Zoe laughed and said "that's a good name, I like it. Now we need a middle name". They both thought for a while and decided on Mackenzie Wilkes. "OK, now that we have the names all picked out, do you want to go and get the others before I get too tired to do this? I really want them all to see the babies". "Sure", said Wade. "Be happy to".

After a few minutes, in came Wade with the others. They gathered around as Wade lifted each child. First off, our new son Jackson Lavon. Lavon grinned from ear to ear and Snake just stood there in total shock. "Snake, what's up", asked George. Zoe just grinned and said "His real name is Jackson. I didn't want to name our son Snake, so Jackson it is. This is our way of thanking him for getting me here safe and sound". Snake just grinned from ear to ear.

"Next is our daughter Sophia Lemon. " Wade handed her over to his father. "Here's your first granddaughter, Dad". Earl was thrilled!

"And last but definitely not least is our surprise baby, Mackenzie Wilkes".

Everyone stayed to hold the babies and give their congratulations to the ever-growing family. Brick finally came in and chased everyone out and said "Zoe needs her rest, so I need to boot you all out of here for now." They all laughed and said they'd stop by the next day to see how things were going.

Finally Wade and Zoe were alone, the kids having been brought back to the nursery. "Wade, how are we going to handle 4 kids?" she asked. "Well, we have lots of help and we'll just play it by ear", he said. "We have plenty of love to go around, so that won't be an issue. We have plenty of room in the house. We'll be absolutely fine", he said.

Zoe said "Lean down here and give me a kiss before I fall asleep", she said. Wade said to Zoe "Get some sleep now babe". I'll go home and spend some time with Luke and I'll bring him in tomorrow".

With one more kiss, Wade left, anxious to see Luke and tell him all about his new siblings.
