Then, she was placed on the operating table.
After a considerable wait, the babies were born.
The newborns cry jolted Raegan awake. She opened her eyes to see two fuzzy little heads, adorable, bearing traces of Mitchels handsome features, clearly destined to be heartthrobs.
Raegan was filled with joy. The operating room door swung open, and Janey burst in cheerfully. Mommy, I want to see my little brothers!
Landen held Janey gently, cautioning her softly, Quiet, darling. Dont wake your brothers up

Janey looked at the little bundles in the crib and clapped her hands excitedly. So cute! Oh, my brothers are so cute!
Erick laughed and joked, Janey, how about me taking your brothers home for a couple of days, huh?
No way! Janey crossed her arms and pretended to be stern. Erick, cant you give birth to your own baby?

Erick burst into laughter. I cant directly give birth to babies
Janey, still crossing her arms, puzzled, asked, Mommy can have babies. Why cant you? Arent you human?
Erick was left speechless.
The room erupted in laughter at her innocent words.
Raegan, filled with love, observed the joyful scene before her but felt something was amiss. She turned to Janey and asked, Janey, wheres your daddy?
Janey looked at Raegan, confused. Mommy, what are you talking about?
Raegan was stunned. She quickly added, Your daddy. Wasnt he just outside? Please, go and call him in.
A wave of disappointment washed over Raegan. She had hoped Mitchel would be the first to see their newborns, their children.
Yet, Janeys confusion deepened. Mommy, theres no daddy. I never had a daddy.
Shock rippled through Raegan. Never had How could this be?
She turned to Landen urgently. Dad, have you seen Mitchel? He was just outside. Could you please call him in for me?
Landens voice was soft yet firm. Raegan, didnt we agree not to mention him in front of the kids?
Raegan, puzzled and frustrated, questioned, Why cant we mention him?
She couldnt understand why Mitchels name should be avoided. He was the childrens biological father, her husband. Why should his name be taboo? He had a role in her childrens lives, and just a short while ago, he had been comforting her so tenderly. How could he just vanish?
Turning to Erick with a pleading look, Raegan beseeched, Erick, can you go call him for me?
Erick was silent for a moment and then asked, Raegan, where do you expect me to find him?
