This is the fourth and final part of the previously published one-shots.

Last Halloween Andy announced to Robert and the rest of their family that she was pregnant and they were all very happy that there would be another baby soon. When Andy had another ultrasound a few weeks later, she and Robert discovered that they would become parents of twins again. Both Andy and Robert were quite shocked by that news and when they asked the doctor if he was sure the babies were twins, he confirmed everything. During the first ultrasound, the resident who was responsible for doing Andy's ultrasound didn't realize that the babies were twins. Despite the initial shock, Andy and Robert were very happy with that news and couldn't wait to get home so they could tell Henry and Sophie too. When Henry and Sophie learned that there would be more twins, they started running happily all over the house with their dog chasing them. Andy and Robert were very happy that the twins were so happy and in fact over the following months Sophie and Henry helped their parents choose everything regarding their little siblings. Henry and Sophie were really very happy with the arrival of the two babies and one day while they were all together at the shopping centre, they had chosen some teddy bears to put in their little siblings' room. Every time Sophie and Henry left the house, when they returned they always had a small gift for the two babies who hadn't been born yet. When Andy had to go to the hospital for an ultrasound, in addition to Robert, Henry and Sophie also went with them so they could see their little siblings. The twins were never in the right position during the ultrasounds and it was difficult to figure out their gender. The gender of the twins was discovered only in the seventh month of pregnancy and this time too they were both male and female. After finding out the gender, they immediately started thinking of names and it was easy for them to find two that everyone liked. When Andy started staying at home at the end of her pregnancy, Henry and Sophie didn't want to go to school to stay at home with their mother and every morning it was always a struggle to convince them that they should go to school. Sophie and Henry were worried because their mother would be home alone and there was no one to help her with things. So every morning Robert reassured his children that their mother wouldn't always be home alone and he would always come home early so he could help Andy do anything. After Robert dropped off their children at school, he went to the station for a few hours and then returned home to his wife. One morning, however, while he was arranging the last things at the station, Robert received a call from Andy and when he answered the phone, she was screaming in pain because her water had just broken. Robert immediately returned home and after loading the bags with Andy and the twins' things into the car, he and Andy headed to the hospital. When Vic and Luke went to pick up Sophie and Henry from school that afternoon, the two children immediately became worried that something had happened to their mother.

Vic: "Hey, don't worry, nothing happened to your mother"

Sophie: "Then why did you and Uncle Luke come to pick us up from school and not dad?"

Vic: "Because your father is in the hospital with your mother"

Sophie: "So I was right to think something had happened. Are mum and our little siblings okay?"

Vic: "Everyone is fine. Your mother is in the hospital because your little brothers decided to be born today"

Henry: "You could have told us right away" Luke laughed. "Why are we still standing here in front of school? Shouldn't we already be in the car going to them?"

Luke: "Let's go now" Sophie and Henry nodded.

Henry: "Can we make a little stop at home though?"

Luke: "Do you need anything?"

Henry: "Yes. We have to get teddy bears for our little siblings"

Luke: "Okay"

After they all got in the car, they drove home so Henry and Sophie could get teddy bears for their little siblings and then headed to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, very slowly they entered the room where Andy and Robert were and approached their parents. Andy hugged his children tightly and both Henry and Sophie looked around for the twins.
