When Nancy Malone was asked to be the "model mom" to publicize Riverview Hospital's new birthing rooms, she couldn't resist the cache of baby gifts that came with the title. Only problem was, she needed a husband... one she quickly invented... and then sent off to sea! Who knew her radiologist would turn out to be Jave Nicholas—a sexy single dad in need of a wife? Seven months into her pregnancy, could she possibly win the heart of a man who knew her as Mrs. Malone?

LOOK WHO's TALKING NOW... My name is Chelsea Annabel and I used to be lucky before I was borned. Only a few whiles ago, I had a daddy and two mommies. Now I have a daddy, a aunt and no mommy. If you think you're confused, how do you think I feel! I want a mommy and I want one now! It seemed so simple when Jo Arceneau agreed to be a surrogate mother for her sister. But with her sister out of the picture, Jo was left carrying the baby for her brother-in-law, the enigmatic Ryan Jefferies... a man she'd always wanted but could never have. Two things Jo was sure of: one, baby Chelsea needed both a mother and a father, and two, she and Ryan could never live together. No matter how she added it up, someone always got subtracted.

The one thing everyone in Riverview Hospital knew about Nate Foster was that the top-notch ER doctor never worked with babies.

It's us again. Malia an' Chelsea an' Garrett. Boy, they say us two-year-olds are difficult but grownups are MUCH badderl We wish Tom an' Amy would play nice together—-it would sure make our lives easier! Know what? We think they need a time-out. We'll put them in the playpen together—-no "Barney" OR apple juice until they kiss an' make up. Well, akshully. kissing's kinda icky. Maybe just make up. Amy Brown was used to overwhelming odds, unwinnable battles, unbelievable messes. After afl, she ran a day care, taking care of the three most mischievous two-year-olds. But this time the mess was her own. Her parents were in town and, well, somehow they'd gotten the idea that her three little charges were her very own triplets—-and Tom Nicholas—-her former love—-was their daddy! When Tom had hired on as her contractor, he hadn't figured this little project into his estimate. And Amy had the feeling it was gonna cost her!
