Soon after Eli and Lyra's wedding, Lyra discovered she was pregnant. While thrilled with the news, the couple was soon devastated when the doctors started encouraging selective reduction--there were six fetuses! Eli and Lyra decided to have faith and go on with the pregnancy as long as there weren't any complications. Then the tiny ones, Ben, Joie, Clara, Iris, Noah and Lily were born... small but absolutely perfect. The same day, we received news that Hannah's little brother James, who was raising his daughter on his own, was killed in a tragic accident. Reuben and Hannah offered to keep baby Sophia for a while, which has turned into much longer. They finalized her adoption last week.
