A few hours passed before Breanna awoke again.  When she opened her eyes she was surprised to see Nick sitting in the chair next to her bed with Anna in his arms.  Breanna kept her eyes closed so Nick wouldn't notice that she was awake.  "So, I'm supposed to be your uncle now.  So, you have to call me Uncle Nick, not Uncle Nicky.  If you do, then it's the pool for you!  I tossed your mommy into the pool when she called me Nicky once.  She hasn't called me Nicky since.  And I know your daddy's gonna want me to watch over you, too, just in case he's busy. So, that means I get to fight them boys off with a stick.  Haha, and I get to make sure that when you leave the house to a strict all-girls Catholic school that you don't go smoking in the bathroom or pull your skirt up real high.  I get to do a lot of stuff.  I guess that's my job bein' an uncle now, isn't it?  It's different with Thomas cause, as you'll figure out once you can walk and talk, Thomas is a boy.   He has it easy.  Me and the other guys, your other uncles, are gonna be watching you and Sarah like hawks.  But don't get too angry with us.  We're doin' it cause we love you. Maybe if you're mommy lets you, you can sing with us.   We'll teach you, don't worry.  But if you're like your mommy or daddy, then you can already sing.  Maybe you can tour with us.  That's if you don't go touring with your mommy.  We all got a lot of stuff planned for you.  Especially me.  You and I...we can play video games.  No one is every too old or young for video games.  And, we can play BBall.  We can kick your Uncle Brian's butt.  I guess that's all I can tell you for now.  I don't want to wake your mommy.  Oh wait.  One more thing...if Sarah doesn't, then you have to marry Thomas.  I guess that's what Uncle Brian's gonna tell you later.   G'nite, Anna."   Nick said as he kissed her forehead as he placed her down.

Breanna laughed to herself after Nick left the room.  She was about to sit up when she heard the door open.  She laid back down again and closed her eyes.  Anna moved around a lot and kicked her legs.  Breanna figured that Anna liked whoever she saw.  "Hey there, pretty thing." Breanna heard AJ say. Breanna opened her eyes slightly to see AJ lean over to pick the baby up.   "I guess Uncle Nick filled you in on his plans for you.  Let me guess, video games and basketball.  You'll have to forgive him.  He may be 23 but in reality he acts like he's 10.  You really do look like your mommy.  You lucked out!  For a while I was scared that you would look like your daddy." Breanna had a hard time holding back a laugh when she heard AJ.  "Well, let me tell you my plans for you.  You're gonna sing and act and be in all the school plays.  I'll work with you so that you have the lead in all of 'em.  If I have to, I'll bribe the teacher.  But, that's when you're in elementary school.  When you get into high school I'm gonna make sure that you get into the best all-girls Catholic school.  I'm sure your dad won't have a problem with that.  But, no wearing those plaid mini skirts to school.  Your parents aren't gonna raise no Britney Spear's look-a-like.   Your parents wouldn't let you have plastic surgery anyway.  As for when you get older, I'm not sure.  But whatever you do, make sure you love it.  If you want to sing, I'll help you.  If you want to act, I'll help you there, too.  If you want to do nothing at all, I'll make sure that you get your trust fund from your parents early.  I'm kidding...I know your parents are going to make you work hard for the things you want. Until then, you and I will just go shopping a lot.  How does that sound?  Oh, look at that smile.  You like that don't you?  Oh wait, babies don't smile unless they have gas.  Well, I'm gonna let your uncles Kevin and Brian come in to see you.  Be good and don't wake your mommy."  AJ kissed Anna and placed her back down before walking out of the room.

Breanna laid in bed on her side watching Anna kick and fuss.   Breanna sighed, for a moment not wanting to be a parent.  She could no longer come and go as she pleased.  She had to do everything for Anna.  All her actions would affect her daughter.  'How do people do it?' She asked herself.  She heard the door knob turn and closed her eyes again.  She loved listening to the guys talk to the baby.  It showed their more sensitive side.   She listened to Anna start to fuss.  "Hey, hey.  It's okay.   You don't want to wake your mommy, do you?"  Brian said as he watched the baby.  Breanna knew that if someone didn't pick Anna up soon then she would start to cry.  "Um, okay.  How do I do this..."  Brian said as he tried to figure out how to pick the baby up.  "You'll have to excuse me.  I'm a daddy and all but I never got a chance to be around him as a baby.  Okay, is that better?  Is that all you wanted?  Just to be picked up?"  Brian questioned as Anna calmed down.  "Yup, you really do kick a lot.  Are you gonna be a soccer player or just a tough basketball player?  Let me guess...Uncle Nick wants to get you into video games and basketball and Uncle AJ wants to transform you into his shopping partner.  Well, honestly I don't know *what* I want you to become.   I guess I'll just watch you grow up and keep an eye out for any natural talent.   Then we'll take it from there.  How's that sound?  Man, you can kick pretty hard for a girl."  Brian joked as the baby continuously kicked.   "Yup, definitely a soccer player.  So, how do you like your mommy and daddy?  Your mom's alright.  A bit of a smartass but I think she'll do okay with you.  Your dad on the other hand is already planning to lock you in your room the minute another boy looks at you.  And I'm sure he's gonna make sure you don't date until your 30.  Just to warn you, myself along with the other fellas are all behind him.  We now have to watch out for you and Sarah.  Two girls around the same age together...what are we gettin' ourselves into?  With Breanna as your mom and Eve as Sarah's mom, I can already see you two outsmarting us.  Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.  Until then, you get some rest.  You've had a long night."  Brian kissed the baby and awkwardly placed her back down.

Breanna kept her eyes closed and waited for Kevin to walk into the room.  Like clockwork, a few minutes later Kevin was walking into the room.   "Hey Anna!  How are you doing, sweetie?"  Kevin asked as he picked up the baby.  She cooed slightly and kicked her legs.  "Your uncle Brian was right.  You do kick a lot.  I'm sure the other guys have already talked to you about your life and what they plan to do with you once you grow up.  I don't have any plans.  And the ones I've been thinking about involve keeping you and Sarah out of trouble.  Sarah's almost 5 months older than you and that isn't much.   I already expect you two to be best friends and for the both of you to get into trouble together.  The day you two decide to go to Las Vegas together will be the day me and your daddy will gang up on you.  Until then, just be a good little girl and love your mommy and daddy.  They've been through a lot and I think if it wasn't for you, they wouldn't be together anymore.  Love works in strange ways.  But, I don't expect you to understand that until your older.  Just remember that uncle Nick is a big kid and will never grow up but he'll always be the one to go to when you need cheering up, uncle Brian is a big kid that tries to act grown up but he's also good to go when you need some honest advice and uncle AJ is the one to go to for advice on boys.   He's blunt but honest.  Always remember that I'm here for you no matter what and your uncles and myself love you.    As for your daddy...he couldn't be more proud of you.  He's in the other room talking a mile a minute about you and you've barely been here for a few hours!  I guess we'll see you tomorrow when you go home.  Try to be gentle on your mommy.  She's had a hard year."  Kevin really didn't know what to tell Anna.  He had a lot of things to say but he knew that she was too young to understand.  He decided to give his lectures to her once she was old enough to understand the birds and the bees.  He smiled to himself and kissed the baby good night.

After an hour had passed, everyone including the women had been in the room to talk to the baby.  Breanna finally let herself fall asleep.   Before she was completely asleep, she heard a voice belonging to a man.   'Howie, don't keep her up, please?' Breanna thought in her head as she started to black out.  "Hey you green eyed monster!"  She heard the voice say to the baby as Anna cooed happily.  'Alexei?' Breanna though before sleep overcame her body.  At around noon the next day and 5 feedings later, Howie was in the room opening up the curtains and putting Breanna's things into her bag.  "What are you doing?"  She asked as she stretched and yawned.  "We're leaving!   You've been discharged."  Howie explained as he leaned over to kiss Anna's head.  "Did you sleep well?"  He asked Breanna.  "I guess.  She woke up every other hour.  Twice she wasn't hungry, she just wanted someone to hold her.  I don't know how I'm gonna get used to this schedule."   Breanna explained from the edge of the bed where she let her legs dangle.   "I'll help you."  Howie responded.

A few minutes later he handed Breanna a small bag.   "What's this?"  She asked.  "I don't know, I just found it next to Anna.  Open it."  He said smiling.  Breanna shrugged and looked into the shiny blue iridescent bag.  She reached into the bag and pulled out a soft violet sleeper.  It felt incredibly soft to the touch.  On the tag it had "Anna 'Howardovna' Wintersonova Dorough" sewn in Russian.  Breanna felt her heart jump into her throat as she looked at Howie.  "Where did you get this?"  She asked as her hand slightly covered her mouth.  "I told you, I didn't buy it.  I found it next to Anna."  He explained again.   "You're not lying?  Are you sure none of the guys brought this?"   She asked.  Howie shook his head. "No.  Why?  What's wrong with it?  It looks fine to me."  Howie said as he sat down next to Breanna with Anna in his arms.  "Nothing's wrong.  It's just...look."  She said as she showed him the tag.  "What is that?  I can't read it."   He said.  "That's because it's in Russian.  But it basically has her entire name and her Russian name."  She explained as she pointed to the four words written in a strange writing.  "Russian name?"  He asked.   "Look.  It says..."  Breanna giggled when she realized that the name was fake.  It didn't have any true meaning.  "...Howardovna.   That would mean daughter of Howard if it was written correctly and if your name had any Russian meaning at all.  And Wintersonova is my family's name about 50 years ago.   That word right there just says Anna and that word says Dorough, but it's written in Russian so the spelling translation would be a little different.  It would be phonetical."  Breanna explained.  Howie looked at her like she was from Mars.  "Oh forget it."  She mumbled.  "No.  What's wrong?  What's bothering you?"  He asked her, leaning over to push a strand of her hair out of her face.  Breanna reached up and grabbed his hand and held it on her lap.  "I think my brother brought this last night.  I heard a man calling Anna green eyed monster last night.  Lex used to call me that when I was a baby because my eyes were slightly green.  And none of you would know how to write that name on an outfit for her, especially in Russian. Only me and Lex knew."  Breanna explained.   Howie smiled and leaned over to kiss Breanna. 

He kissed her slowly, afraid she would pull away but to his surprise she didn't.  Instead she pulled him closer and wrapped her arms around his neck. Their kiss was getting deeper until they heard some clear their throat.  "Get a room!"  AJ shouted. Howie and Breanna quickly pulled apart to see the guys standing around the doorway smiling.   "There's that tongue!"  Nick shouted causing Breanna to turn red and Natasha to grab him by the ear to lead him out of the room.  "He's gonna get it now!" Brian joked as they all walked into the room.  "She's getting tired of him being such a kid."  Eve explained.  "Ah, he's not so bad." Breanna replied, standing up to give everyone a hug.  "So, you guys want my daughter to attend a strict, all-girls, Catholic school, do you?"  Breanna asked, eyeing Nick as he walked back into the room.  "You heard that?"   AJ asked back.  Breanna nodded her head.  Howie walked up behind her with the baby in his arms and smiled at his friends.  "You guys are always one step ahead of me."  He joked as he and AJ gave each other a high five.  Breanna laughed as she shook her head.  Breanna walked into the bathroom to change into some more comfortable clothes as Eve, Natasha, and Izabel watched her walk away.   "Man, I wish I looked that good after Sarah was born."  Eve complained.  "No shit."  Izabel mumbled.  It seemed that Breanna got her old body back after Anna was born.  A few minutes later Breanna emerged from the bathroom wearing a short black dress and her hair in a bun on top of her head.   Nick let out a low whistle.  Howie smacked him in the head as he admired her himself.
