"I really wish you would stop saying that. You're my best friend and I could never hate you." Lizzy says.

"Both of you stop it." Lizzy snaps. "You are both my cousins whether by blood or by law. And it doesn't matter anyway because I'm not gonna get custody of Josh if Elaine's giving him up. I can't afford it." Lizzy glares at the wall then walks outside.

"That's great but what do you say we get them through elementary school first." Bo says.

"What if...what if we gave him his own birthday party? I know it's a lot easier to do one big one but...It might make him feel better if we don't combine it with all the others." Bo says.

"I guess he feels a little left out." Bo sighs.

"That tends to happen with women." Bo sighs.

"I love you too buddy. Of course Angel still loves us just sometimes she feels like she needed to get away for a while. I'm sure Cassidy would love to teach you to ride." Bo says.

"I love my little girls." David says. "I think with this many kids we'll stop for now." Bo says.

"I've never met him Angel but...people tend to see things different. Maybe he is like his father and maybe he isn't but know this I love your accent." David says. "It means she had three babies at once." Bo explains.

"You don't have to. Maybe five years in jail has changed him." David answers.

Soon dinner was over and the rest of the night passes. Around the time they were getting ready for bed the phone rings. It was Lizzy who profusely apologized for not showing up but she had finally finished the cars about twenty minutes ago and was so tired she had completely forgotten about stopping by until she got home and remembered. She hoped that Daisy was not mad at her but could understand if she was.

"That's all we ask." The doctor says. A bit later on Amber still hadn't given up her want to give Lizzy and Luke the honeymoon they deserved so she pulled Luke away from the crowed and explained the idea. Luke thought for a few moments then looked at Amber. "Get the info from Daisy about all that stuff and let me know if you'll pay for it I'll set it up. Unfortunately not to bad mouth Daisy or anything Daisy's not going to be able to let Lizzy go for a long time if she thinks she's gonna bolt. It needs to be something that Lizzy and I do alone. A relaxing vacation and you're right she deserves this. I don't mind going on vacation with Lizzy, Daisy, and Enos but...before we do that I want this time alone with Lizzy. I'll pick the date if you get all the information. The only thing that has to happen is the date has to come as a complete surprise to everyone." Luke says. Meanwhile inside Lizzy had drawn Daisy into a talk about what the doctor had told her about why the triplets had waited so long and the status of the tests they were running.

"You can do this. I know you can." The doctor says.

"Listen, having the triplets wasn't easy on Sam. In three days time she'll be released from the hospital and I'd like someone to look in on her from time to time. I know anyone in that room would do it in a heartbeat especially Mrs. Duke but I was hoping you'd do this to take the pressure off her." The doctor says.

"Mrs. Strate?" The doctor says pulling Daisy aside.

"Sure." Lizzy says.

"No it sounds like a good idea just maybe we should wait a few months. Certainly you want to be here for your grandbabies." Lizzy says.

"I don't know...I need to be here for Josh and Brian." Lizzy says looking down. "Then there's Sam...the first couple months are gonna be hard on her."

"Quite the opposite Daisy. I need you now more than ever. Please help me." Lizzy says on the verge of tears.

"Because she's so stressed out right now. She's been taking care of five kids under five and well I don't want to say this but last night she got a phone call Brian gets out of jail in three months and...Elaine might be giving up Josh. She...if they refuse to give custody to Brian when she does give him up Lizzy wants to take Josh in but..." Amber starts. "I'm not sure we can afford it. I will not let my nephew be put in the system but if I don't have the money it's where he's gonna go." Lizzy says sitting next to Daisy.

"Think about it Aunt Daisy all those times you were feeling low or doubted yourself what did she do? She pulled you through even if it meant staying on the phone till three am just to do it. She sent both you and Aunt Julie on your own honeymoon shouldn't she get the same and I know she loves you." Amber says.

"Where do I send her? How long do I send her? I'm a little over my head but I know she deserves this." Amber says.

Lizzy hangs back in the doorway listening.

"I want to send her and...Uncle Luke on the honeymoon they never got. I understand it's difficult because of their schedules but...It's something they need. I'm willing to pay for it all I just. I need your support. I wanna know where to send her and for how long and...help planning it. I will pay for it all I just need a little help from those who know her best." Amber says.

"Alright. Just remember my warning." Lizzy says.
