This trip to the hospital gave Ana and Arthur a beautiful baby girl named Bridget.
I suppose I'll have to add onto the house again soon. I've got to get my baby girl a room of her own.
Ana's house is a pretty hectic place with two babies around. But Ana loves it.

Ana's house is a pretty hectic place with two babies around. But Ana loves it.
But there aren't two babies for long, because Aaron's birthday comes very shortly after Bridget's arrival.
Ana will miss holding him in her arms as a baby, but it warms her heart to see Aaron grow into a healthy, happy boy.
And Ana still has baby Bridget to get her baby fix....
And Ana still has baby Bridget to get her baby fix....
That is, when Arthur's not hogging his daughter's affections.
Because, of course, Arthur is turning out to be an amazing dad.
Proud Daddy can't get enough time with his baby girl. Yes, Bridget definitely already has him wrapped around her little finger.
So while Bridget is doing her baby things, Aaron is finally old enough to start school. He really wants to make good grades, so he always works hard on his school work.
And one day after school, Aaron's dad decides to make an appearance.

"Can I see Aaron?" Mitchell asks.
"Come on in. He's just finished his homework." Ana answer, but is really thinking...What did I ever see in this guy? Crazy man is still running around in that dumb tuxedo.

In typical child fashion, Aaron rapidly fires questions at his dad as soon as they sit down together.
"So, you're my dad? Hi."
"So, you're my dad? Hi."
"Do you like my toy car? It goes so fast!"
"Say, what are you wearing? You look kinda funny. I've never seen anyone dress like that before except on TV."
At that remark Ana, can't help but to chuckled to herself. Unfortunately, Mitchell is not nearly as amused. He scolds Aaron, and the rest of the visit is clearly much less enjoyable for her little boy.
"I'm sorry, Dad." And Aaron even makes an attempt to change the subject, and is obviously trying to please his dad.
After his Mitchell leaves, Aaron tries to hid it but Ana can tell that the little boy is close to tears.
Mitchell's visit has left Ana feeling very fond of Arthur, not that she wasn't already fond of him. It just renewed her appreciation for the sweet man.

"Um, Ana, what are you doing?"
"I'm just so glad to see you, Art."
"I'm just so glad to see you, Art."
Ana is less thrilled to see the amount on her bills this week.
But no need to worry; she is painting masterpieces more often now.
One right after another.
Ana spends most of her time painting...when she isn't cleaning, cooking, or fixing something that has broken around the house. And one day while she is painting she is interrupted by a knock on her door.

It's Mitchell again. Ana let's him in, but says, "Aaron's in school right now, you'll have to come back later if you're-"
But Mitchell interrupts, "I'm not hear to see Aaron. I wanted to see you. Don't you think we left things badly between us.... Ana, I miss you."
But Mitchell interrupts, "I'm not hear to see Aaron. I wanted to see you. Don't you think we left things badly between us.... Ana, I miss you."
Ana stands there in shocked silence for a moment, then shouts, "Are you crazy!!?!?!?!"
"Mitchell. I. Do. Not. Miss. You. One. Little. Bit. Now I think you need to get out of my house, before I go find my biggest frying pan and knock you upside your pretty little head. Because you need some sense knocked into you. We. Will. Never. Be. Together. Again."
When Arthur comes over for his daily visit, Ana has never been happier to see him.
Life continues in much this same way for a while. Ana and Arthur are very happy spending time with baby Bridget. And they are enjoying each other's company...Arthur even stays over several nights a week. Aaron is enjoying school. And thankfully, in Ana's opinion at least, Mitchell hasn't showed up since the day of his failed attempt to weasel his way back into Ana's heart.
Then, one day, Ana has some important news to share once again.

"Art, I'm pregnant again."
"Really? Oh no!" Arthur feints.
"Just kidding, Hun. That's wonderful." Arthur wipes his eye with a big smile on his face, because he is actually so happy that he felt tears begin to pool in his eyes.
Ana is obviously not very amused by his joke. Could be because she's already an emotional wreck from pregnancy hormones.

"You really shouldn't have joked like that. I thought you were serious. You do want another baby, right?" Ana sniffs.
"Ana, Honey, you know me better than that. Of course I want another one. I couldn't be happier."
"I know...I just thought for a second there.... I guess I'm being silly, huh?" But Arthur knows better than to answer that.
After a minute, Ana manages to dry her tears. She seems thoughtful for a second then asks, "Are you going to freak out again when I go into labor?"

"I didn't freak out. I think you might not remember clearly what happened. I'm sure you were in a lot of pain after all." Says Arthur convincing no one."
