Disclaimer: Tina's characters, two mine.
Spoilers: None
Pairing: Jack/Liz
Summary: Jack never thought this day would come.

Twins.
The two, new, beautiful lives Jack gave her. 
"Hey, Jack. Can I see them?"
Jack turned around to see his girlfriend, lying down on the hospital bed. 
"Hey, sleepyhead. You named these two before you passed out. This," he handed the baby to her.
"...is Jane. She's the oldest by half a minute."
Liz held Jane in her hands. Jane grabbed Liz's finger with one of her hands and hugged it, until she fell asleep.
"Beautiful, isn't she?" Jack asked.
Liz nodded.
"How can you love someone so much if you just met them?"
Jack started tearing up. Ever since they started dating, Jack has been more of a sensitive person with Liz, a side she's never seen before. 
"Aw, Jack, come here."
Liz kissed him.
Jack handed her the other baby.
"This is Emma."
"Why didn't we name them with rhymes?"
"You said we didn't want people to get mixed up with them, so we got those names."
"Janie and Emma Donaghy."
"And don't forget, Elizabeth and Jack Donaghy."
"What do you mean?" Liz asked.
"Liz, will you marry me?"
A smile lit up her face.
"Yes, of course!!!" 
Jack slipped the ring on her finger, while Liz started crying.
"Look at me, crying like an idiot."
"You're not an idiot. I've known more idiots in my life, and they're not like you."
Liz smiled.
"Jack? What's today?"
"October 14th."
"Let this state, that on my birthday, I gave birth to two beautiful girls, and I got engaged to the man that is my best friend."
Seven years and 364 days later, the day before Emma and Janie's eighth birthday, Liz's birthday, and Jack and Liz's 3rd wedding anniversary, Liz was snoring. She turned around and saw Jack, staring at her.
"Today's date night."
"Good morning to you too, buddy. I thought last night was date night."
"Last night was leading into date night, but we--or I, called it sex night."
"How did we--?"
"Do it without the kids knowing? Simple, they went to Abbie's sleepover."
"Abbie? I'm blanking out here."
"Abbie, Avery and Carol's child."
After they ate breakfast, they heard footsteps. 
"Emma, Janie, we have a surprise for you!!" Liz said.
"What is it, Mommy? Abbie threw us out way too early. She said her mom told her to hurry up before you two do...what was it called, Janie?" 
"It started with an 's.' How come Abbie knows big words and we don't?"
"Oh, you'll learn it soon enough, little monkeys." Liz said.
The twins started jumping up and down.
"What's the surprise? What's the surprise?"
"Well, since Janie is older, how about you and me walk and talk in the hallway?" 
"Sure, dad."
Jack walked Janie to a new portion of their house, Janie with her eyes closed. 
"Open them, sweetie." 
Janie opened her eyes and started screaming. She hugged her dad and ran to Emma and Liz. 
"Emma! Emma!!!! Dad and Mom made a new room for me!!!"
Emma started jumping even higher.
"Yay! I don't have to share a room with her!"
"And there's more. Emma, Janie, living room," Jack said.
The girls sat on the couch while Liz stood by them.
"What are you up to, Jack?" Liz asked.
"I want you ALL, even you honey, to close your eyes."
"Again?" Janie asked.
"Or I won't give this to you."
"Oops. Sorry, Daddy. Continue!"
Jack gave the twins a small rectangular box. Emma had trouble reading, but as soon as she saw the picture, she didn't need to read anything.
"iPhones?! OH MY GOSH, DADDY!" 
Liz looked at him with one eyed closed.
"Hey, no peeking, wife."
Liz rolled her eyes and closed them.
Jack handed her a huge white box. Liz sat down, and the girls followed.
"Want me to help you, Mommy?"
"I'm fine, Emma. Thanks."
Liz opened it and inside was a dress. The dress she was looking at the other day. She just stared at it. Jack started getting worried.
"You don't like it?" he asked.
"I don't."
"Oh--"
"I LOVE IT!!!!"
Liz quickly jumped up from her seat and kissed Jack. 
"The kids, the kids," he whispered.
"Oh, who cares?"
Emma and Janie quickly took a picture of them kissing on their new phones. Janie whispered something to Emma's ear. 
"Sent!" she whispered back.
In California (yes, Emma and Janie took a trip all the way to California from New York just for a sleepover), Abbie was out, but Avery couldn't rake the beeping noise from Abbie's phone anymore. She read the message, and sure enough, she saw Jack and Liz making out. But, it wasn't a photo...it was a video. Avery tried stopping the video, but it wouldn't budge. She saw a message at the bottom. "I think they're gonna do it," was all it said. 
She was mad. But who cares? It's date night. And plus, she's on the other side of the country.
