Lilly stood in the back yard watching the floating lanterns go up with her family they may not be blood related but they were a family .
She had talk to both Kayli and Sang about what had gone through her mind when she found out they were both pregnant, both understood she needed space.

" So have we found what you are having " Lilly asked Kayli

"it's a boy "

" Oh I am so happy , So Sang what is your little one " Lilly asked

"Well a girl and boy "

"Twins "

" Yes " Sang said with a grin

"Gee I would have thought Kayli would have since Brandon and Corey are twins " Lilly said

"Me two but seems I produced two eggs at the same time " Sang said smiling all the while she had a red cheeks.

" Well I know Gabriel will have a lot of fun dressing his little girl and boy and His nephew " Lilly tells them

" I know you may not want to answer this but how do you feel it's been several months since the death of your father " Kayli asked softly

" I'm good , It took me a few days to process that he was finally gone and what's the biggest surprise was he had over  4 1/2 million dollars tucked away in an off shore account from the videos .... Yes you heard me right Videos he made of abusing me seems it's a very lucrative business, Corey and Kota came to me about two months after his death to say they found it while digging through his stuff " Lilly tells them

"Holy shit Really " Kayli said
" Yeah I know"
"What did you do with the money "
" I actually talked to Owen , Liam , Dr Roberts about building a small community for battered  women  and children , it will have its own small clinic , a few shopping places , security with all the women that come through the academy it will be a welcomed place for them to get back on their feet "

" Thats so awesome " Sang said

" It will take a year of planning then another year to build but if anyone comes through until then needs a place To live I have set up places to use until then "Lilly tells them

They all hear footsteps coming up behind them but don't turn around.

Arms come around all three women
"What are three talking about " Liam asked as he kisses Lilly's neck.

" About the community that is to be built " Lilly answered.

" Ah , Did they tell you what the little ones are" Liam asked
"Yes we did and I for one am hungry so let's go feed our belly's " Kayli says as she kisses Axel on the lips
" Sounds like a fabulous idea " Sang says taking Owens hand in hers .

The girls left with their men leaving Liam and Lilly standing there .

" Have you told them yet " Liam asked
" No not yet I want to wait a little while longer until we know for sure "
" Well I did just get a call saying it's 100 % approved so we will be holding our own little one in a week"

Turning to face him
"Are you sure that you and the guys want to do this "
" Lilly yes we are all sure Jack can't wait to buy clothes and toys along with all the other items needed for the baby "
" Does Axel know "
" Yes I told him and Owen that we will be adopting Blake's daughter that he had contacted us about the mother saying she couldn't raise the child on her own and he didn't want to have the baby put in foster care so we were the best option for her " Liam said

"How does he feel "

"He understands why Blake contacted us instead of them he would have hoped he would have contacted him but with the way things ended a few years ago it didn't happen He also said he would happy to be the baby's god father "
" Good I just hope Kayli will be as understanding"
" Then let's tell them all tonight you pull Kayli aside first then we will make the announcement "

Liam led Lilly back up to the patio area where everyone was enjoying the food and conversation.
Taking a deep breath in then letting it out she made her way over to Kayli .

" Can we talk inside I need to get some more of the food " Lilly says
" Sure "

Once inside in the kitchen Lilly takes another deep breath then let's it go .

"Kayli I want to tell you something that I don't know how you are going to take it "
"Go ahead " Kayli said
" A few days ago Liam got a call from someone that was in yours and your husbands lives but left He called to say he had gotten a woman pregnant that couldn't take care of the baby nor could he , Wanting to place the child in an academy family to have a good life , In a week we are adopting a little girl who's Father is Blake " Lilly told her
She watched Kayli process what was just said her faces shows several emotions

" Why didn't he contact us " She asked
" Because he didn't want to hurt you or the guys or make you feel obligated to take the child he said that If he places the child with us then his little girl would get to have one of the most wonderful women he knows for an aunt or a god mother that you and the guys would help raise her right " Lilly tells her

"Are you going to do it "
" Yes we are but I wanted your blessing even if it's takes a few months to years I want you to be okay with it "
" Lilly I think what you are doing is wonderful when is the mother due"
" In a few days "
"Have you picked out a name "
" Actually yes I have Her name is Katana Sierra Anderson I wanted use both of my best friends first initials to name her calling her Kat " Lilly tells Kayli

" I love it and you " Kayli says hugging Lilly

" So your not upset "
" A little but I do understand his reasoning I'm just so happy all of us are having little ones though you got the no weight gain route "
" Well not necessarily "
" What are you saying "
" Well I'm not sure I missed my cycle the last two months but have been spotting for a three days so "

Kayli took Lilly's arm pulling her to the bathroom
" Take the test under the cabinet I hid them there a few months back when we started trying "

A few minutes later she read the test

Opening the door Kayli looked at her
" So "
Lilly didn't say anything just kept a blank face and headed out to the guys

When she got out there she went up to Henry handed him the test
He looked down at his hand wondering what was in it
Then he read it
" Are sure "
" Thats what it says " Lilly says back grinning
Henry scooped her up in his arms

"What's going on " Gabriel asked

" Well looks like we are adding to the family two different ways , We are having a baby and adopting " Liam said when he picked up the test from the ground.

" Wow Our kids are going to be so best friends " Luke said

" Lilly are you sure " Jack asked
" Well according to the test we are " Lilly tells him .

" So we are going to have a little one that will be right around 9 months old when you have another that will be two under 2" Harry said with a grin

" Well I for one can't wait " Liam said as he sandwiches Lilly between him and Henry .

Two weeks later Lilly was pacing the floor waiting for the nurses to come out to tell them the baby was born , She had been at her first Appointment with Dr Alexander when they got the call Katana was on the way to be being born , She finished up her appointment and went straight over to the waiting room .

Glancing at the clock it said 4:35 , they had been there since 10 this morning.
" Lilly come sit " Liam said his tone was of not to argue so she came over and sat down next to him.

Liam took Lilly's hand in his , " You need to relax everything is going fine in there "
" I know it's just making me nervous"
"About what Babygirl "
" Thats she's not going to let us raise the baby once she see her "
" It would be devastating but we will be okay " Liam replies squeezing gently on her hand .

Before she could reply the door opens
" Lilly Anderson "
" Yes that's me"
" We Have some one you need to meet " the one nurse says as another one walks out holding a pink bundle.

" Meet your daughter "

The little bundle of pink joy was placed in Lilly's arms she could not help but stare at the little cherub face
" Oh she's beautiful and tiny "
" Yes she is , She weighs 4 pounds even she is 23 inches long which is long for her weight "
" Thats is small" Liam says looking down his daughter
" When can we take her home " Jack asked
" In a few hours she needs to be checked out by your pediatrician then if all goes well she can go home tonight " The nurse said
" I'll call Sean and Phil one of them will or I should say both will come " Henry said .

" What is her Name "
" Katana Sierra Anderson" Harry says

A small whimper was heard then the baby opens her eyes
" She has the brightest blue eyes she's going to be a heartbreaker " Lilly says with a grin knowing full well her papas are not going to leg her date until she's 30.

A few hours later they left the hospital a family of six , they were heading home to meet the rest of the family who had gone to the house to finish up getting the room ready Gabriel had some finishing touches he wanted to put in place .

When they arrived home Liam took The car seat out carried it inside.

" They are here"Luke yelled as Lilly and the guys came in .

The entry way filled with all families.

" Look at how little she is " Marc said
"Yes she's only 4 pounds but she's tall 23 inches long so I have a feeling she will be taller than me when she gets older " Lilly said With a chuckle.

" Can I hold her " Kayli asked
" Sure Auntie " Lilly said as Liam unhooked and removed Katana
Liam handed Katana to Kayli who looked down at the little girl.
" You my sweet little one will be so loved by your mama , papas , uncles and aunts Your Father made a good decision on letting Your Mama Lilly be your Mama " Kayli says softly to her.

" She has his eyes those piercing blue ones and his caramel colored skin " Axel says looking over Kayli's shoulder.

" I never met him " Lilly tells them .
" He was good guy but made some bad choices that I hope he is learning from " Marc said

Katana let a wail out , Kayli looks down slightly scared
" Thats her I'm hungry feed me now notification" Jack said grabbing the bottle from the bags

" Oh thank god I thought I did something " Kayli says with a small laugh

"Don't worry I thought the same thing when she did it to me " Henry said chuckling .
