"Why is she taking so long ? Can't believe I've been pregnant for like 10 months. That's almost a year" Hanna shouts
"She's half a Marin. She probably wants a few more weeks so she can have an actual brain. Unlike you Han" Caleb says sarcastically with a laugh, carefully resting his hand on Hanna's bump
"Well she'll have to wake up because she's coming tomorrow"
"Are you having an induced labour ?"
"Yes because she's too comfortable in here" Hanna says to her bump in a baby voice
"I've always thought it's weird that you change your voice when you are talking to babies and animals, but you can't help putting on a strange voice" Hanna had a good point
"Aunt Hanna"
"Yes Leo ?"
"I know what you should name her"
"What should I name her ?"
"Leo"
"But Leo is a boys name and she is a girl"
"Leo isn't only a boys name"
"Well...." Hanna stutters, thinking hard about how she can reply to him
"Leo is your name there is only enough room in my heart for one Leo" he grins, satisfied with her answer
"Mommy, I know what her name should be" Carson says very proud of himself
"Her name should be Charlotte" there is an awkward silence and Hanna looks horrified that he said that name
"Why should she be called Charlotte ?"
"Because my wife is called Charlotte" he blushes
"Excuse me?" Hanna gasps, but Carson ignores her and soon the conversation moves on
We know for a fact that her name isn't going to be Charlotte. We'll just have to wait for tomorrow when we meet her, until we find out her name.

"She's gorgeous"
"Just like her mom" Spencer finishes Aria's sentence, looking up at Hanna
"So spill it. What's her name ?" Ezra impatiently asks
"Her name is... not going to tell you" Caleb teases
"Oh come on" I moan, getting as impatient as Ezra
"Her name is Harper"
Hanna is lying in a hospital bed trying not to fall asleep and I begin to day dream, flashing back to my labour
Emily screamed in pain as I crushed her hand
"Omg am I hurting you ?"
"No Ali, seriously I'm okay the only thing you should worry about is getting our daughters into this world"
I pushed as hard as I could, my body tired
"One last push Alison" I heard the midwife say
I pushed once more and the crying began
"She's perfect" Emily cried
The midwife wrapped her in a blanket before handed me her, after a short cuddle baby number 1 was handed to Emily. With one arm Emily held our new baby girl the other arm was locked in my grip as I pushed our second baby into the world. 17 minutes after Grace was born Lily came. I held them both in my arms and Emily praised me over and over again
"Well done Alison. You did it. We have our family" she said multiple times
"Alison come on babe. Time to go and give Hanna some sleep, she's had a hard day" Em smiles, snapping me out of my day dream
We give Harper a hedgehog teddy and then leave her and Caleb in peace
"She is so cute. Seeing her makes me even more excited for our baby" Spencer looks over at Toby who is smiling as Harper grabs hold of his pinky

"There's another birthday to add to our list" Emily smiles at me
Lily and Grace are now 6, Carson is 4, Leo is 3, Zoë is 10 months, Harper is 4 weeks and Spencer jr. is 3 hours old
We all go to the hospital just as we did 4 weeks ago when Hanna had just given birth. Toby has his new daughter cradled in his arms and Spencer is towel drying her just washed hair.
"So what'd you call her ? Tobyetta ?" Ezra laughs
"Abigail Jenna Cavanaugh" says Toby
"Jenna as in Jenna Marshal ?" Emily screams, horrified that they would name her after Jenna
"The blind bitch ?" Caleb adds
Toby and Spencer burst into hysterical laughter
"Her middle name isn't actually Jenna. It's Marion. Her name is Abigail Marion Cavanaugh"
"Another girl. We need more boys in this group. It's five to two, but you are gorgeous so it's okay you are a female" Ezra says to Abigail
"Our swimmers must love girls" Caleb laughs raising his eyebrows at Toby
"She does... Emily loves the ladies. Doesn't she Ali?" Hanna's smirk makes me blush; Emily covers her face with her hands trying to hide her smile
"Congratulations guys" Spencer says
"Congratulations? It's you who just had a baby"
"Yes but congratulations to us all. We are now all parents. We have gone through so much together. There have been so many times we have all feared for our lives and now" she pauses and looks over at Toby and Abigail
"Now we are all happily married and we all have children of our own" Emily holds my hand as we listen to a tired, hormonal Spencer speak "I think it's finally safe to say we have all found our happy ending. Our happy A free ending. And like any good fairy tale we all found our own Prince Charming"
she looks over at us "or our Princess. These five A free years have been... awesome" she smiles and we all begin to tear up thinking of our children and partners
"oh and we can all drink alcohol again" she shouts with joy
