*After dinner they sat around the table drinking coffee still talking about all that's happened since the summer began a few months ago.*
Mrs. Nelson: I still can't believe my baby is going to have a baby. *she said brushing Angie's cheek with her hand*
Angie: It does seem strange. Just a few months ago I was a carefree party girl and now I'm a wife and in several months I'll be a mother.
Cole: You're gonna make a wonderful mom too.
Mrs. Nelson: Yes she will, and so will Kim.
Kim: *looking up surprised* Mom, we're not even married yet.
Mrs. Nelson: I know but you will be soon and someday you'll have children. I speak for your father too when I say we want lots of grandbabies.
*Later that evening the girls show their mother to her room where she'll be bunking with Kim.*
Mrs. Nelson: So this was your room?
Angie: Yeah.
Mrs. Nelson: I'm sure you both threw a fit when you first saw it huh?
Kim: *laughing* We sure did.
Angie: We hated everything about this place, including Tom and Cole.
Kim: Nah, I think you were sweet on Cole from the beginning.
Angie: Well sort of. You had a crush on Tom too though.
Kim: Okay, I did.
Mrs. Nelson: Come here girls. *She said sitting on what used to be Angie's bed. The girls sat on either side of her and she put her arms around them.* I just wanted to tell you that I've put you back in our will. It was stupid of me to take you out. You'll always be Nelson's and what's ours is yours.
Kim: That's okay Mom.
Angie: Yeah, as long as we have you and Dad's love that's what's most important.
Mrs. Nelson: I know. But I just wanted to let you know that you and your families will have financial security. As for our love, you'll always have that too.
Kim: So how come you never told us you were from Tennessee?
Mrs. Nelson: I guess I was ashamed of it. We were really poor and I always dreamed of being something better. I worked hard in school and got a scholarship to a finishing school in New York and I never looked back. I changed my accent and put so much emphasis on being a society girl that I just lost track of the things that are really important.
Angie: Does Dad know all this?
Mrs. Nelson: Yes I told him before we got married and he's kept it a secret all these years.
Kim: Tell us more about the cowhand? What was he like?
Mrs. Nelson: Oh *she said sighing* he was tall and handsome like your guys, except his eyes were dark like coffee. His family owned a big ranch and while they weren't wealthy, they were better off than my family. I was 17 when he asked me to marry him.
Angie: What did you say?
Mrs. Nelson: I loved him so of course I said yes. When his parents found out they made him break it off because they wanted him to marry one of the Smith girls, they were the rich family in town. She had taken a shine to him and I guess they couldn't resist her money.
Kim: I'm so sorry Mom.
Mrs. Nelson: Well it worked out for the best. I met your dad and he loved me despite the fact that I was just a hillbilly dressed up in fancy clothes. *she said chuckling* It's late and I'm getting tired. Let's go to bed huh?
Angie: Goodnight Mom, I love you. *she said hugging her*
Mrs. Nelson: I love you too, both of you.

While Mrs. Nelson changes in Kim's bedroom, Angie and Kim wait outside the door and discuss a sneaky little plan. "Do you think we should use Cole's morning technique for mom if she doesn't wake up at 5?" Kim asks, snickering. "Oh my goodness, you're so evil!" Angie laughs. She hesitates then looks to Kim with a smirk. "Let's do it."
The next morning at 4:45 Cole and Tom walk into the kitchen and look to each other. "All right, you ready?" Cole asks, picking the bucket up. "Cole, she's gonna get so angry, you know that, right?" Tom says, trying to hold in his laughter. "She will. But I think she deserves it." Cole chuckles. The boys walk up the stairs; Tom enter Kim's room and Cole enters his. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Kim shouts, getting drenched with ice cold water. The same shriek comes from Angie's room. Angie walks into Kim's room, soaking wet, seeing her mother holding the bucket and standing above Kim. Kim looks up at her mother and her eyes get wide. "What did you do that for?!" Kim screams, pushing aside the wet hair in her eyes. Her mother laughs and looks to the two boys. "Last night Cole and Tom informed me of your evil little scheme." Mrs. Nelson can't stop laughing at the sight of her two girls. "I told them I wanted the thrill of scheming the schemer. I couldn't resist!" She continues laughing, sitting upon her bed heavily. Angie walks into the room and pours the bucket, prepared for her mother the night before, on Mrs. Nelson and stands back laughing hysterically. "Welcome to the ranch, momma!" Angie cackles, looking to Kim. Kim's doubled over in hysterical laugh. Cole and Tom look to each other then pick both of their girls up. "What are you doing! Put me down!" Angie squeals. "Put me down right now, you brute!" Kim shrieks, banging on Tom's back. The boys walk down the stairs and outside toward the barn. Tom dumps Kim into one of the water troughs; Cole sets Angie down nicely upon her feet. He smiles, and tickles her chin gently then walks back into the house. Angie looks over at Kim, who looks like a drowning sewer rat, and laughs at her misfortune. Cole steps out of the kitchen and calls to Angie, drawing her attention. Angie looks to him and gets doused with a huge bucket of freezing cold water. Angie's eyes get wide and she growls her voice. "Cole Harden!" She yells. "Yes dear?" Cole stands there with a sweet smile. "Oooooo!" She screeches. Kim stands up and pulls Tom by his shirt then pushes him into the water. She goes to walk out when Tom takes her arm and pulls her down, into his embrace. He wraps his arms around her and kisses her passionately. Cole walks up to Angie, but she steps back. "I'm very angry at you, Cole. I won't be so forgivi--" Cole interrupts her with a passionate kiss. As she tries to struggle out of his arms, he holds her hands behind her back; she stops struggling and gives in, throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him back. Mrs. Nelson stands back and shakes her head in absolute confusion. "A bunch of crazies...all of them!"

*A couple of weeks pass and Mrs. Nelson has stayed on at the ranch to help Kim get ready for her wedding. Meanwhile Cole's parents have returned from their summer long vacation and are planning a visit to the ranch.* Angie: You're sure they sounded happy when you told them we got married? *She said sitting on the front porch waiting for their arrival.* Cole: *taking her hand and squeezing it* Yes I'm sure. Your hands are sweaty, try and relax. Angie: I will but I'm so nervous. I hope it goes better than when you met my parents. Cole: Well that didn't go so well at first but it worked out fine. Oh here they come! *he said seeing their truck coming up the long driveway.* *After hugging his parents Cole walked with both of them towards the house where Angie was nervously waiting trying to smile as best she could.* Cole: Mom, Dad I'd like you to meet my wife Angie. *he said with a big beaming smile* Angie: *putting out her hand* It's very nice to meet you. Mrs. Harden: I'm so happy to meet ya! *she said as she threw her arms around Angie and gave her a big hug. Surprised at first Angie hesitated and then put her arms around his mother and hugged her back.* Mr. Harden: My turn, my turn *he said as Mrs. Harden let her go and he hugged her as well.* Angie: *sighing with a smile* I was so nervous to meet you. I didn't know how you'd react. I mean it all happened so fast. Mrs. Harden: Well we were definitely surprised when Cole told us he had gotten married but I know my son and he doesn't do anything without thinking it through first. So you can be sure he loves you very much. Cole: Mom's right. *he said putting his arm around Angie's waist*. Well come on let's go inside. Cole: *sitting at the table* So did y'all have a good time in Mexico? Mrs. Harden: Oh I've never had so much fun in all my life! I can't wait to get our pictures developed. Mr. Harden: I've never seen anybody take as many pictures as your mother did. *he said laughing*. Mrs. Harden: Speaking of pictures Angie, I brought some baby pictures of Cole because I thought you might like to see them. Angie: Oh I'd love too!! Cole: Oh Mom why'd you have to do that? *he said embarassed* Mrs. Harden: Because you were the cutest kid ever born west of the Mississippi that's why!*She got the photos out and laid them down on the table.* Mrs. Harden: Here he is when he was just six weeks old. Look at those adorable cheeks! He was the cutest baby I've ever seen. *she said smiling* [img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u228/MrsCooper1901/IJ623f-1.jpg" src=" Cole: All babies are cute Mom. Mrs. Harden: Maybe so, but you were the still the cutest! Here he is at two years old. [img src="http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/1723/32248101fu3.jpg" src=" Oh and here he is trying out his new fishing pole when he was 4. [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/garyfishingasakid.jpg" src=" Here he is with some of his cousins when he was 8. He's the one in the middle there with the big hat on. [img src="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u228/MrsCooper1901/age8atafamilypicnic.jpg" src=" Angie: Oh my gosh honey, you were so adorable. *she said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek*. Cole: Well now that you've both thoroughly embarassed me let's change the subject. We've got more news for you two *he said taking Angie's hand in his.* We're gonna have a baby of our own. Mrs. Harden: You're gonna have a baby!? I'm gonna be a grandma? Angie: Yep! Mrs. Harden: Oh sweetheart that's wonderful! *she said hugging Cole and then Angie.* Mr. Harden: I'm so happy for y'all, this is great! *he said hugging them both as well.*

The day of Kim and Tom's wedding finally arrives and the two plan a small little wedding in the church where Tom used to go to Sunday School every Sunday when he was a child. Kim looks over the two dresses that are hanging up in the dressing room of the church. And tries to decide as she fixes herself up. Kim fixes up her hair nicely -- but not too overdone; she puts on a little makeup and a pearl necklace and stands in front of the mirror. Not your best looking day, kid; but he's seen worse, right? Kim thinks, looking herself over and chuckling weakly. She walks toward the door and peaks her head out. "Angie." she whispers, trying to grab her attention yet not let Tom see her before the ceremony. Angie walks into the room and closes the door behind her. "Yeah?" Angie replies. "What's Tom wearing?" Kim inquires, her arms folded and her fingernails in her mouth -- looking worried. Angie laughs and shakes her head, confused. "What?" "What's Tom wearing?" Kim takes a frustrated sigh. "I don't know; about a half hour ago I saw him with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt on, why?" "I knew it." Kim says, picking up the flowery dress she has laid out on the bed. Angie looks them over and scoffs. "Kim, it's your wedding day, wear your best dress; you have the right, you know." "I just don't want to look over-dressed. Besides, he doesn't like when I get all dressed up fancy, he thinks I--well..." "Well what?" "I don't know, he never told me why, all I know is that he doesn't like when I dress up too fancy so I'm going with this one." Kim holds up the darker one and walks behind the dressing wall (lol, I don't know what it's called!). "Kim, I'm sure he'll understand -- today of all days. That's half the fun: dressing up in a beautiful dress and -- okay, look, you're old enough to decide for yourself. But don't dress like a hillbilly broad or I'll disown you." Angie chuckles, walking out the door. "Angie..." Kim says. Angie turns around. "Yeah?" "What if...what if he doesn't want me?" "Want you? Kim, you're all he has left. The man's never been in love before, he's lived his entire life alone, he's fallen head-over-heels in love with my sister and you're worried he won't want you? I bet he's worried the same about you. Now get dressed and stop thinking like an idiot." Angie smirks and walks out. Cole finds Tom standing outside, looking as though he's lost in a deep thought -- which isn't a look he has on his face often. "Hey Tom, you all right?" Cole inquires, standing next to him and leaning over the railing. Tom snaps out of his train of thought and chuckles nervously, straightening up. "Oh, sure. Yeah, I'm all right." "What's on your mind -- really?" Cole nudges him, knowing somethings bothering him. "Cold feet?" Cole chuckles. "No, I put two layers of socks on this morning." Tom says in a very serious-non-joking-tone. "I've heard about that from plenty of guys so I just wanted to make sure it doesn't happen to me." He adds, taking a deep sigh and looking at the pub next door. Cole tries to suppress the laughter and clears his throat. "So what is it, then?" "Well, I haven't been in this church since I was a kid." Tom explains, looking down as though he were ashamed. Cole chuckles and shrugs, "Yeah? What about it?" "My mom took me here every Sunday but she she never stayed with me; she only sat down for a service when she thought her conscious needed a little cleaning. She'd drop me off in the morning and head on down to the pub across the street. She'd forget about me until it got late then had some strange guy pick me up -- and it was never the same guy twice. I always wondered why she even took me every Sunday; it took me a few months to figure out that she didn't really forget about me, she just didn't want me around if she could help it." Tom explains, looking back at the pub as if expecting his mom to come staggering out of the doors with a bottle in her hand and a guy around her arm. "Gosh, Tom, I never knew about that -- I'm sorry." Cole says sympathetically. "Don't be sorry; it doesn't matter anymore. What I'm worried about most is that Kim'll leave me here just like my mom did. What if she doesn't want me either, Cole? What if I'm not good enough for her?" Cole places his hand on Tom's shoulder and looks to him, smiling. "You know Kim loves you, Tom; she's worked her tail off to prove that. Now don't you be the one to leave her at that alter. You're made for each other -- everyone can see that." Tom smiles and nods his head, knowingly. The two guys walk into the church as the minutes dwindle down. "But just the be safe..." Cole says seriously, "you better put on another pair of socks." Tom takes a deep sigh and nods, as if taking note. (I'm sorry this is so long -- I'd type out the wedding ceremony but then it'd be as long as a novel! I don't know what you and Cole want to do in the meantime...you could go catch a burger )

The stuff about Tom putting layers of socks on so he doesn't get cold feet was too cute!!
*Angie sees Cole coming back into the church and walks over to him.*
Angie: Hey how's Tom doing?
Cole: He's okay, just a little nervous. He's afraid Kim's gonna back out.
Angie: *chuckling* She just told me she's afraid he won't want her. I guess they're both feeling the same way. Were you nervous when we got married? *she asked as she wrapped her arms around his*
Cole: Nope, not a bit. I thought I would be but I wasn't.
Angie: I wasn't either. I knew you the were the one I was supposed to be with. *Sighing* Oh you looked so handsome standing there in your suit with that goofy grin on your face.
Cole: *smiling and blushing* You were the most beautiful bride I've ever seen.
Mrs. Nelson: I wish I could have seen your wedding. *she said walking up to them*
Angie: I'm sorry you missed it Mom.
Mrs. Nelson: That's alright dear. If you had told me about it I'm sure I would have tried to talk you out of it and I just would have ruined the whole thing.
*Angie hugged her mom but they were interupted by the pastor as he told them it was almost time to begin.*

The music begins and Tom stands at the alter, sweating bullets in his three pairs of socks. He fiddles nervously with the bottom of his suit jacket as his left hand is cupped over his right. He stares ahead at the small stained glass window and tries to push aside his fear and nervousness by filling his mind with his future -- their future together. The music continues to play a few times over but there's still no sign of Kim. Tom glances over to Cole nervously, but Cole shrugs then looks to Angie, who's just as worried. Tom's nerves begin to ride on the very edge as all the fear of rejection and abandonment surface. His emotions get the better of him and he storms off the alter and walks down the aisle. Cole and Angie look to each other, wide-eyed; Angie goes to chase after Tom, but Cole holds her back and pats her hand gently. The pastor looks to the piano player and nods, faintly, for her to continue playing -- hoping for the best. Tom walks to the back of the church and pushes open Kim's door forcefully. Kim, who's sitting on one of the metal church chairs looks up, frightened by the noise and the familiar look on Tom's face -- the look he had when he kicked down the door in Cole's house after she teased him mercilessly. She immediately stands up and wipes her tears. "Tom, I--" she begins, but he interrupts by walking over to her and picking her up in his arms. "What are you doing?!" She gasps, pulling her dress over her knees. "I'm gonna marry you today whether you like it or not; you ain't leavin' here without the title MRS Tom Henry if I can help it. So you might as well give up now because when I aim to marry someone...I marry 'em fer' keeps." He replies, walking her out of the room and standing in front of the sanctuary doors. Kim smiles proudly but the smile soon vanishes and turns into a deer-in-the-headlights look when she sees the few eyes directed on her. Tom walks her down the aisle casually, nothing formal, as the music plays sweetly. Kim looks down, completely embarrassed by her childish behavior. He sets her down at the alter and dusts off her dress gently then links her arm with his -- acting completely normal -- then nods his head calmly for the pastor to continue. "Friends and family," the pastor begins, "we are gathered here to witness the marriage of Kim Nelson and Tom Henry; may these two always find happiness in each other and never look back with any regrets. Do you Kim, take Tom Henry to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Kim looks into Tom's eyes and smiles, "I do." "And do you Tom, take Kim Nelson to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Tom smiles sweetly and gazes into Kim's eyes, "Always -- I do." "Then with the power vested in me and the state of Montana, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." Tom hesitates, taking a deep breath -- amazed that he made it this far without passing out -- and presses his lips against Kim's, kissing her passionately. After the service is over Tom and Kim hug Cole and Angie and run out of the church and hop into Tom's truck as the few people who attended cheer and wish them the best of luck. Tom steps on the peddle and leaves a trail of dust behind them, the cans clanking on the ground and the church bells ringing -- just for them. Kim snuggles up to Tom and lays her head on his shoulder. He looks down at her and smirks, "Hello Mrs. Henry." She smiles proudly, the sound of it makes her feel as giddy as a little girl again. Once they arrive at the house, Tom picks Kim up and walks her up the porch; he sticks in the key and swings open the door. Kim looks at the sunset and faces Tom. "Can we stay out on the porch swing for a little while? I'd hate to miss such a beautiful sunset." Tom nods sweetly and sets her down on the swing. He sits down next to her; her head in his lap. She looks up at him as he gently runs his fingers through her hair. "I almost dropped to the ground when you burst through that door." Kim chuckles. "So did I -- when I thought you left me at that alter for good." Tom replies. "I just kept thinking 'what if we're making a mistake? What if all this is too good to be true?' I'm just glad you knocked some sense into me before I made the worst mistake of my life." Kim says as she kisses the palm of his hand. Her fingers slightly brush against his suit and jogs her memory of the conversation she had with Angie. "When did you get that suit? Angie said you were in jeans and a t-shirt last she'd seen you." "I bought two suits when I came to see you in New York. I thought that other one was better luck -- I guess I was wrong." Tom laughs. "If I knew you were gonna have on a suit I wouldn't have worn this dress. But I knew you didn't like when I got all prettied up so I tried to -- say, why don't you like when I dress up all fancy any ways?" Kim asks, sitting up for the answer. Tom looks down and shrugs, "I didn't want you to look at yourself in the mirror one day and wonder why you ever chose me if you could have someone better." Kim picks up her bag and walks inside; Tom follows after. "Where are you going?" Tom asks. "I have a surprise for you -- stay here." Kim says excitedly as she walks up the stairs and into the bedroom. A few minutes pass when Kim walks down the stairs in a beautiful silk nightgown. "I hope this'll make up for that wedding dress." Kim says quietly, hoping he'll approve. Not once does Tom look down at the gown, he gazes into her eyes -- in awe. "Nothing's changed." He whispers into her ear softly and carries her up to bed.

Oh that was just perfect!! Swanky nightgown too *Cole and Angie drove Mr. and Mrs. Nelson to the airport in Helena and when they made it back home Angie began cooking supper as Cole went out to finish some chores. She was singing while she cooked and Cole walked up on the porch and stood there for a minute listening to her.* Angie: A little bird told me that you love me And I believe that you do This little bird told me I was fallin' Fallin' for no one but you There's no use denying Might as well confess Of all the boys I know, dear I'm sure I love you best The little bird told me we'd be happy And I believe that it's true A little bird told me we'd be married And I believe that it's true This little bird told me when we marry We'll have a pretty cottage Not too far All fenced in like a movie star We'll have a great dane pup We'll call him Ace Lying there by the fireplace A goldfish pond and a wishing well Everything is gonna turn out swell A little bird told me we'd be happy And now I know that it's true Cole: *walking inside*I love hearing you sing. Angie: Oh you scared me! *she said surprised, thinking she was still alone* Supper's almost ready. [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/Picture5-2.jpg" src=" Cole: Come on I want to show you something. *He said after they had finished eating.* [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/Picture7-2.jpg" src=" *They saddled up the horses and rode out a ways until they reached a beautiful part of the ranch. It had a few big oak trees scattered around and a little stream running through it.* Cole: Look out there. *he said as they got off their horses and gazed out at the beautiful vista* [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/Picture9-2.jpg" src=" Angie: It's beautiful Cole. Cole: I thought maybe this would be a nice place to build our new house. What do ya think? Angie: I think it's great. Cole: We could put it right in front of that group of trees so they would be in the backyard. Angie: I've been so busy helping Kim get her new house set up that I hadn't even really thought about ours yet. I can't wait to get it finished and get the nursery all set up. Cole: Me too. We should be able to get it finished before the baby's born. Angie: I hope so. Don't forget about my skylights *she said smiling* Cole: No I won't forget. *He said as he pulled her close and kissed her* [img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t163/coopsgirl_30/Picture11-2.jpg" src="

The next morning as Kim and Tom wake early to the 5 o'clock sunrise, they cuddle in each others arms. "When I die, Heaven will be seem such an anti-climax." Kim says as she caresses her fingertips across Tom's chest. She looks up at him and smiles; he leans in and kisses her passionately. The sound of a large truck approaching draws Tom's attention to the window. "Who could that be?" Kim asks as Tom walks toward the window. "Do you recognize the car?" Kim inquires. Tom looks out the window and shakes his head, "Nope, never seen it. I'll be right back, don't you worry." He gets dressed quickly and walks down the stairs to greet to man. Kim lays in bed, listening to the mumbling. Her curiosity gets the better of her and she throws on some clothes and walks downstairs. The men stop talking when Kim walks out. She links arms with Tom and looks to the man. "Who is he, dear?" Kim asks. The harsh look on Tom's face is an immediate sign that this man is no friend. "I've come--" "Get off our property, mister." Tom says coldly. "What's going on, Tom; who is he?" Kim asks, worried. "This house doesn't belong to you people -- I'll call the police if I have to. You have no right to be here, do you understand me?" The man says, acting all high and mighty but also a little reserved because Tom is a much larger and stronger man than he is. Tom gets in the man's face, "If anyone's gonna be leavin' here it'll be you. Now get off our property before I pound your head in." Kim takes Tom by the arm and tries to calm him down. "What right do you have to tell us to get out of here? Is this your home?" Kim asks, wanting to know why this man insists on ruining their happiness. "The man who sold you this house is a fraud -- he's been a fraud for 16 years, selling people homes that have belonged to the victims of murders." The man replies. "Murders?!" Kim gasps, looking to Tom. "Did you know about this?" Tom doesn't answer. "Tom, did you know about this?" Kim says more adamantly. "You know I didn't, Kim. This man is lying through his teeth and he knows it." Tom says angrily. "I'm not lying and you know it. The man who sold you this home -- A Walter Benson -- was--" "Walter Benson didn't sell us this house." Tom replies. "Then who did?" The man says, trying to catch Tom in a lie. "My friend from Helena did -- Mr. Jay Hamilton. What trick are you tryin' to pull, pal? You're interruptin' my wife's and my honeymoon!" "You're sure it wasn't a Walter Benson?" The man asks, confused. "Of course I'm sure it wasn't a Walter Benson -- but if you bring that name up once more you'll be leavin' here with a broken spine." Tom snaps. "If you're lying, you can be sure that I'll be back -- and this time I will not be alone." The man replies firmly; he leaves within seconds. Kim looks to Tom, completely confused. "Do you really think he'll be back?" she asks, worried. Tom turns around and walks back to the house. "Nah, we aren't hiding anything -- he'll see that -- and if he does come back, I'll get Cole involved, too; we'll make sure that windbag never bothers us on our honeymoon again." Tom leans in and gives Kim a soft kiss. Kim smiles and begins to prepare breakfast.

Kim and Tom had no more trouble from the man who tried to kick them out of their home and as the days passed into months they settled happily into married life. The seasons changed from fall to winter and then into spring. The last of the snow finally melted and gave way to the blossoms and beauty of a world born again. Cole and Angie had been in their new house for a couple of months and everything was ready for their baby's arrival. They had decided to have the baby at home and on a beautiful bright spring day, it was finally time. Angie: I don't care what everybody else does I want him in here now!! *She shouted as the mid-wife told her Cole would have to wait outside.* Mid-wife: She wants you to come in. *She told a very nervous father to be as he waited in the living room.* Angie: Cole *she said reaching out her hand as he walked towards her and sat down next to her on the bed.* Cole: I'm here sweetheart. Everything will be alright. *he said in a soothing tone as he held her hand* Angie: That's easy for you to say. *she said annoyed* Mid-wife: It's time to push again Angie. *Cole helped her sit up and she pushed and pushed until she was completely worn out.* Angie: I can't do it anymore, I can't. Mid-wife: Yes you can. Angie: I can't. Cole: Come on darlin', I know you can do it. *he whispered in her ear and then kissed her cheek.* *After one more big push it was over and the mid-wife held up the baby for them to see.* Mid-wife: You have a beautiful little girl. Angie: Oh it's a girl Cole, just like I was hoping for. *After she cleaned up the baby the mid-wife handed her to Angie and then left the new parents alone with their child.* Angie: Look at her, she's beautiful. *She said with tears of utter joy streaming down her face.* Cole: You two are the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Angie: Oh no I'm such a mess. *She said wiping her hair away from her sweat soaked face.* Cole: You've never looked more beautiful to me. *He said as he kissed her and then kissed their baby girl.* Angie: She's got your beautiful blue eyes. Cole: Well I hope everything else will be just like you. *Later that day Kim and Tom came by to see their niece.* Kim: She's so beautiful and so tiny. *She said as she held her.* Tom: Have y'all decided on a name yet? Angie: We named her Mary. Kim: Aw, hello Mary *she said in a sweet voice*. *Mary began to cry and Angie and Cole took her in to the nursery to change her diaper.* Tom: *taking Kim's hand in his* Do you think now would be a good time to tell them that Mary will have a cousin in a few months? Kim: *smiling* No, lets wait a few days. I'd hate to steal their thunder. Tom: I love you. Kim: I love you too. And so ends the story of the two sisters who went from debutantes, to ranch hands and then to wives and mothers; finally finding true happiness as the latter. THE END

Amazing, sis. We did it; it's finally over and no one got killed. Such an amazing story -- I'm going to print this one out and make it into a book. Awwwwwww, it's all over! I can't believe it! No more updates with the handsome and emotionally-scarred Tom

I have got to go back and save copies of all our stories. I was nearly in tears typing that last part up. It's so sad every time a story ends. It was sure a good one though.
