Happy Birthday, Summer 2021

Phoebe and Samuel Lind have come to the hospital for an ultrasound. Doctor Sandra Williams keeps looking at the screen and finally Phoebe asks if something's wrong.

"I don't know how we've missed this before but..." Dr Williams says and turns the screen so that Phoebe and Samuel can see it. There are definitely two fetuses on the screen. "You're having twins" she continues.

Phoebe and Samuel look at each other and burst into laughter. They explain to Dr Williams that they had been struggling to get pregnant and now they're having two babies! Dr Williams smiles and continues the examination, telling that everything looks good.

Late at night Denise and Ben Cooper come to the hospital. Denise's contractions had started earlier and they came to the hospital as soon as Denise's mother came to look after their older kids.

However it's a very slow progress. Hours pass by and nothing happens.

"I swear this baby has decided to stay in there for eternity" Denise mutters to Ben between her teeth.

There's really nothing he can do but hold her hand and try to keep her spirits up.

The next morning Janie Greene and Danny Cooper also enter the hospital. Unlike Denise, Janie goes into labour pretty quickly.

A couple of days later Denise and Ben take their son Tate Elliot to meet his cousin Molly Davina for the first time. Both couples coo over the new babies.

Extras:

In case you can't see in the above picture, I thought I'd post close-ups of Tate and Molly so you can see their colorings.

Tate has brown hair and eyes just like his older siblings.

Molly has red hair and green eyes, just like both her parents.


Notes:

• I could have sworn that Phoebe was pregnant with one child but apparently I was wrong. Pregnancy scanner clearly showed that she's going to have two babies. Yikes! A total of 8 babies will be born this year and who knows about next year. That's my new record!
