Dr. Doyle makes her way towards Jake and Vicky, the nurse following her.

DR. DOYLE
I thought you might want to get to know your daughters for a few minutes, then, if you like, you can take your wife home.

Jake still doesn't say a word as she places the first baby into his arms. Vicky laughs through her tears.

VICKY
I think he's speechless.

The nurse puts the second baby into Jake's other arm, and he just watches them silently.

VICKY (cont'd)
Jake? Are you okay?

He moves towards the bed, seating himself on the edge. Vicky reaches out to take one baby from his arms.

JAKE
I'm…I'm way more than okay. I think I'm better than I've ever been in my life. (To the baby in his arms) Hi, little one…I'm your daddy. I'm sorry I wasn't here when you were born, but I promise, I will ALWAYS be there for you from now on.

VICKY
They know that, Jake. They already do.

DONNA
(almost hesitantly)
So…since Jake's here, do we get to learn my granddaughters' names, or are you going to keep us in the dark until they're teenagers?

JAKE
(glancing at Vicky)
You didn't tell them?

VICKY
(shaking her head)
I wanted us to tell them together.

JAKE
Okay. We're going with the names we'd agreed on, right?

VICKY
Yes. (She puts a hand on the head of the baby in Jake's arms.) We wanted each of their names to be perfect and unique to both of them. But we had to remember two very special people in their names as well. So…this little one…our oldest daughter…we've named her Bridget Celeste McKinnon. 'Celeste' means heavenly, and since we know that's where Bridget is, watching us, we thought it fit perfectly.

DONNA
It's perfect. She'd have loved that.

VICKY
And for our second daughter…since she's our millennium baby…something that Lila said to me before I had the girls…it stuck with me. She told me 'Life is a journey'. And she's right. So, for our new voyage into the millennium as a new family…and to remember Michael…this is Journey Michaela McKinnon.

MARLEY
That's beautiful, Vick…I love it.

The others look unsure at the name, but Kirkland walks up to the bed.

KIRKLAND
Bridget and Journey. I like their names. They fit.

JAKE
And we get the seal of approval from Kirkland.

As everyone begins congratulating Jake and Vicky, we:
