Meanwhile back at Global Dynamics, House walks into Allison's room, Alex tucked up under one arm.

 

"Be very, very quiet, we have to let Allison sleep," House whispers in his son's ear. "You remember how Auntie Allison couldn't hold you lately and was getting reallllll big." House smirks at the woman glaring at him from the bed. "Well, she couldn't hold you because she was going to have a baby, can you say baby?"

 

"Bay-bee." Alex crows, kicking his feet against his Dad's side. "You're such a big boy, I knew you could say baby. Anyway, a couple of nights ago your Auntie Allison gave birth. You have a baby brother and a baby sister." Gregory leans over the two bassinets, allowing his son to see the babies sleeping inside.

 

Alex squirms in House's arms, silently wanting to be let down. House puts him on his feet, holding him with one hand so he can't run off. Alex had gone from crawling one day to running, It seemed to be a common practice to hear 'Baby loose' alerts over the PA system at Global Dynamics, causing everybody to stop what they were doing and look around. Luckily the most sensitive labs are locked and without a pass he couldn't go far.

 

"Any news on the other thing that happened a couple of days ago?" House asks. He'd been stunned to come in the next morning to find there were two Jo's in town, he admits he'd been a little distracted the night before but how had he missed that? Not even the news that Dr. Blake had had twins had spread through town faster.

 

"Haven't you been paying attention to the news Henry's been sending out over PDA's and vidcells?"

 

House waves a hand at the thought of paying attention to one of the numerous gadgets everybody in Eureka seems to think they can't live without. "I hate those things, that's what I have Chase and Jimmy for, to tell me what's going on."

 

"It seems that Jo's family has started appearing in town, and they're already driving her insane teasing her." Allison checks the live footage from the Cafe.

 

"Her family?"

 

"Six of her nine brothers, most of whom seem to be people who live here in Eureka or we've met."

 

House raises an eyebrow at her. "Ryan Wolfe, JD's roommate Buck, Daniel Jackson, Blair, and Peter Venkman. There's a sixth brother, but I don't remember seeing him before." A beeping sound makes her look at her PDA. "Ahhh, Henry did a search for him, he's a profiler attached to the FB I."

 

House's nose wrinkles as his newest brother loads his diaper in his sleep. Allison chuckles at his look. "I suppose I could get up since Nathan left me here." she says, theatrically throwing the sheet off her legs. "I gave birth three nights ago, that's plenty of time to recover."

 

"Don't be so dramatic." House rolls his eyes. "Here, hold Alex so he doesn't run off." He puts Alex on the bed next to Allison and turns back to the bassinet, unfastening the blanket wrapped around the baby and lifts him onto the changing table.

 

Allison lays back in the mound of pillows, running a hand over Alex's head. "You need a haircut." She says. "Alex, want to help Auntie Allison rest while your Daddy changes a diaper?" Alex nods. "Lay down next to me then, close your eyes, and hold my hand."

 

Alex drifts off a couple of minutes later.

 

"You're good, I didn't think Alex would ever settle down." House says, putting young Nathan Michael into his bassinet. "So how long before you're getting sprung?"

 

"Two more days." Allison sighs.

 

House goes to the door and whistles, Carlisle coming in a minute later. House nods at the bed and he smiles, walking over and picking up Alex, following him to House's office and putting the baby in the playpen.

 

Meanwhile back at the Cafe, Carter jumps when a bus suddenly appears out of nowhere in front of the Cafe. The door opens and two . . . girls step out. Carter rubs his eyes but neither of them look to be any older than his daughter, though the taller one has as mane of pure white hair and the shorter one has a white lock in front. They walk around the front of the bus, the taller girl leaning against the front, her elbows on the hood as she smirks at the scene inside. The shorter girl crawls up onto the hood, her feet on the front fender until they're at the same level. Carter doesn't take his eyes off them, reaching blindly behind him, grabbing somebody.

 

Daniel looks over at the sheriff when he's grabbed, eyes following the other man's gaze. He snickers softly. "Your sisters, I take it?" Carter finally looks away from the window. Stark, hearing him, immediately turns to look that direction, seeing the bus parked outside.

 

"How did I miss hearing that pull up?"

 

"Because it didn't, I was looking this way. One second the street was empty, the next second it was there."

 

"Carter, that's impossible." Carter just gives him the 'oh yeah, we're talking about Eureka remember?' look and he chuckles.

 

"Not for our family it's not." Blair walks over to the door, holding it open for the two girls. Carter looks at them when they enter, he was right, they don't look any older than Zoe. The older girl walks to a table by the others and opens the backpack in her hand, pulling out a laptop that she starts typing on.

 

Meanwhile back in Greta's home universe, her fathers are frantically waiting for one of their children to check in. A beep has them looking as a screen opens and Greta's smiling face appears.

 

"Is Jo okay?" is the first words out of all three mouths.

 

Greta smirks, turning the screen of her laptop around so the camera faces away from her. Her fathers see their sons clustered around a table, seconds later they can hear Jo cussing.

 

Greta sticks her fingers in her mouth and whistles shrilly, making everybody look in her direction. Jo stops cussing and takes a deep breath. "You couldn't have just told me that Greta was on her way?"

 

"No." Daniel says simply.
