Marcy Chang was the model belabored woman. Mal was... just not. Besides being a man, he was simply worrisome. The hospital was seriously contemplating putting him out.

Marcy went through her routine of being sweet and cute then raged out when it came time to push.

Mal ended up with another broken hand but also another daughter, Aisling Layla Chang.

Karen loved that her name was Aisling but her nickname was Ais.

Mari loved that her middle name was Layla. She'd always found that name to be beautiful. What she didn't love was her water breaking while Ais was still red and new.

Mari screamed. Mari cried. Mari cursed.

Sebastian panicked. Sebastian cried. Sebastian swooned.

Marcy laughed. Marcy laughed. Marcy laughed.

But Mari pushed out her first son, Sebastian Garfield Logan Jr. He looked exactly like Ameaila. Same strawberry blond hair, same intensely blue-purple eyes, same chill personality.

Serena loved having a little brother. She already envisioned bossing him around like her Aunt Marcy did. But she'd be kind about it like her Aunt Karen.

Mickey leaned into her little sister's face. "She look like Rye."

"Don't she though?" Marcy teased lightly.

Mickey giggled.

Riley wrinkled her nose. "Baby."

"Like you." Sola pointed to her.

Riley was appalled.

Marcy's shoulders shook as she silently laughed.

Rose hit her with a clean diaper.

Laura, Mercedes, Quinn, Yuria, Maddie and Lisa came in with Judy. "How is she?"

"Ready to go home." Marcy answered.

"We meant the baby." Mercedes frowned.

"So did I."

"Marcy,-!"

"Shut that up!" Marcy rocked Ais as she cried.

Mercedes grimaced. "I'm sorry, Ais."

"Mercy..." Laura chided.

"I'm sorry, Marcy." Mercedes sulked.

Quinn, Maddie and Lisa giggled.

Laura was sick of all of them.

Yuria went to the hospital bed and peeked at her newest niece. "She looks remarkably like Rye."

"That's what Mickey said." Marcy steered away from the easy joke.

Mickey beamed.

"Where are the boys?" Judy wanted to know.

"I don't know." Marcy frowned. "Mal took Mally, Raj and Gabe out with him but never said where he was going. I see I'm gon have to jack him up."

"Jack?" Mickey asked.

Marcy lifted a fist. "Jack."

Mickey's mouth rounded.

"She gon bust your daddy up." Rose teased.

Marcy laughed.

"No, Mommy!" The five year old hugged her mother. "Be nice to Daddy!"

"But I can't, baby. He keeps getting me pregnant."
