Cassidy: "Artie!"
Artie:"What?!"
*music*
Rica: "Oh hey look at that. You're not even an adult yet and you've managed to get one of your skill challenges already."
Cassidy: "Hey.. you two. Over here."
Artie: "What? Oh... Oh.. OH" -freak out-
Cassidy: "Yeah.. this hurts. Let's go. I want to have this baby in a hospital."
Artie: "Yes, of course, yes. Let's go. Let's Go. Rica.. it's time!"
Rica: "You'd think this had never happened before or something."
Rica: Not a single person noticed that Cassidy had gone into labor but I did get a shot of Thomas with his new toy, Patterns.
*music*
Dawn: "And that makes five."
Rica: "Wow, I'm really impressed. You managed to supermax painting and you haven't even maxed it yet."
Dawn: "I'm just that good. "
Rica: "You know what would make you awesome?"
Dawn: "What's that?"
Rica: "Teaching Thomas how to use the potty."
Dawn: "That's actually next on the list."
Rica: "Oh good.. his bum will be happy to know that."

Meanwhile.. in the hospital across town...
Cassidy: -scream!-
Baby: -cry!-
Artie: -sniffle-
Doctor: "It's a girl!"
Cassidy: "What do we name her?"
Artie: "Angela."
Rica: "You sure?"
Artie: "Yes."
I present you...
...Angela Grim!
(I really wanted xmas colored twins but I forgot you can't have more than 10 in a house and with the three cats - Angela makes 10)Rica: "She's so cute."
Cassidy: "I can't believe she's so red."
Rica: "Don't worry Cassidy. I have a plan."
Cassidy: "I'm glad someone does. Let's go home, Artie. "
Artie: "Yes ma'am."
Rica: "Darn I forgot to throw a party."
Nicholas: "Don't worry - I don't think any of us want a party."
Rica: "We've all been so busy with the nooboos and stuff. Are you sure?"
Nicholas: "Yeah.. No one wants the outside world to know that we're all rundown."
Rica: "That's one way of looking at it. I just think of you guys as extra loved."
Nicholas: "I like that."
Artie: "Hey kid.. shut up!"
Cassidy: "Artie.. don't yell at the baby. She's crying."
Artie: "I don't remember all this crying."
Rica: "That's because last time the baby didn't sleep in your room."
Artie: "Oh yea. We should put her in the hallway."
Cassidy: "No!"
Artie: "Fine.. so.. who's going to change the diaper?"
Cassidy: "Let's paper rock scissors for it."
Rica: "Why is Thomas crying..? Artie!"
Artie: "Mmm."
Rica: "You are just so.. " -sigh of resignation- "you."
Dawn: "Now just sit there like a big boy and when you're done, Nickie wants to read you a story."
Nicholas: "This is the color red."
Thomas: -baby murmur-
Nicholas: "Lots of things are red like apples and Artie."
One day and a half days left and Artie manages to not only get a portrait but an ice sculpture done. Good job girls.
Jessica: "Thanks Rica but Artie - stop moving or I make you look like a toad."
Rica: "Oh and hey. You maxed painting finally. Way to go Dawn."
Dawn: "Thanks!"
Artie: -whispers: "Don't worry Angel.. Daddy isn't going to let anything happen to you this time."
Rica: "Artie.. that's Angela not Angelica."
Artie: "You're wrong. This is her second chance, too."
Rica: "I don't think so.."
Artie: "She'll show you. It's really her and I've missed her so much. Yes I have." -more baby talk-
Rica: "Oh Artie... "
