Alyssa asks for some advice about surviving with three children. Kelly says that she had to remind herself of all the blessings that she had and had to laugh at the silly things and not stressed over.
The next morning, Kelly receives a call that Zoey is here. John reveals that whenever Alyssa has said that she is going into labor, he says that they needs to go. He doesn't want to risk having the baby at home. Alyssa adds that her husband would freak out if the baby at home.
Within ninety minutes, Alyssa has the baby at the birthing center and invites her mother just before getting released to go home. Kelly says that she has held a lot of babies but it puts her in tears when she sees the baby and it's healthy. She says that it's new and fresh and wonderful and special.
The couple heads home to introduce Zoey to Allie and Lexi. Allie is happy to meet her baby sister. Gil arrives to meet his newest grandchild (there is still one more on the way) and video chat with the other kids at home. Gil and Kelly head to enjoy a takeout steak dinner with the new parents.
