Steven was running around, trying to get ready for work, while Andy was sitting in his carrier, smiling and giggling at his father. Colton was still in the hospital, and it would hopefully be the day when he'd finally come home with his family.

"Emma, where are my shoes!" Steven asked with a toothbrush hanging from his mouth.

"Did you look under the bed?" Emma called from the bathroom, where she had closed herself inside to keep him from seeing her cry. She'd been very emotional lately, crying a lot, but she didn't want Steven to see her like that.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Steven asked as he looked at Andy as he rushed around. He looked under the bed and found his shoes. "Just think, today your little brother gets to come home."

Emma ran the cold water over her hands and rubbed her face before walking out of the room.

"How late do you have to work?" she asked quietly as she reentered the bedroom.

"Hopefully not too late," Steven told her as he put on his jacket. "I want to be with you when they release Colton. They say he's looking a lot better. He's gotten a lot of color back in his cheeks."

Emma looked at her hands. She hadn't been to the hospital in days. She wanted to see Colton, but it was too hard for her to.

"That's good... I can't bring him home without you, though. Can't you just get him when your shift is over?"

"I was hoping we could all come home as a family," Steven told her as he kissed her cheek. "You, me, and Andy should all be there to meet Colton."

"I don't know..." Emma started, really nervous about going back to the hospital, "I mean, Andy could get sick if we take him out too much, especially in a hospital. There are so many germs there."

"Alright, I guess I can bring Colton home myself after my shift ends," Steven said. "Are you going to be alright alone with Andy?"

Emma nodded, even though inside she was screaming that she wouldn't be. Even holding him made her feel uneasy.

"Just hurry home..."

Steven kissed her. "I love you, Emma." He went and kissed Andy on the forehead. "You be good for your mom."

Steven picked up his bag and headed for the door. "Call me if you need anything. I'll be back tonight."

Emma watched him leave and turned to look at Andy. He was so full of life. He smiled all the time, and Emma knew that a part of her brother was with him.

The problem was, now that she had everything she wanted, she couldn't make herself be happy. She hated herself for it, but all she wanted to do was crawl under the covers and never come out.

Steven headed toward the hospital to start his shift, but stopped off to see Colton first. "How's my big man doing?"

A nurse walked into the NICU and smiled at Steven.

"Dr. Webber, your son is doing very well today. He's even eating a little."

"Do you think he's healthy enough yet to go home?" Steven asked. "I'd kind of like to have a complete set of twins for my collection."

The nurse laughed.

"Yes, I think so, but Dr. Lee will have to approve it first. Is your wife coming to see him today?"

"I don't think so," Steven told her. "She doesn't want to risk getting Andy sick."

"Sounds like a little overprotective streak," the nurse told him, "That's completely normal. I wouldn't be concerned about anything else."

"I can't wait to get Colton home," Steven said as he looked down at his baby. "Our family's finally going to be complete."

The nurse smiled.

"You are a very lucky man. It sounds like you've got it made."

"Yeah, every way except financially," Steven told her. "Pretty soon I'm going to have to think about getting a second job just to pay for the twin's needs."

"You can't do that," the nurse told him, "Medicine should be your priority right after your family. They'll never see you if you work two jobs."

"I don't know what else to do," Steven told her. "We're almost broke, and it's too early for Emma to go back to work."

"Well, don't you have any friends or family to ask for help?" the nurse asked him.

"I couldn't ask any of them for a loan," Steven told her. "Liz has her hands full with Cameron, and you know I could never ask Patrick for something like that."
