Just did the last round:

God has blessed Peter and Jael with abundant harvests, but they live frugally. It is rare for them to splurge, but when their beautiful quadruplets turned two, it was an occasion for celebration. Jael had done a lot of planning and preparation for the party, and didn't want to miss it. She was 8 1/2 months pregnant with her next child, a daughter, on their birthday, but expected no trouble--she had carried the older kids for that long, after all, and there were 4 of them. When her labor started, it was during the party. But she figured she had a few hours, so she continued to play the hostess, and didn't tell Peter what was going on. One of the activities she had planned was storytime on the spaceship--because you can't host a kids' party next to a spaceship and never let them on! She planned to tell one of Ethan's wild tales--he would have liked that.Things didn't quite go as planned, though--her labor got harder and soon she realized that she didn't even have time to call the midwife. Peter cleared out the gaggle of toddlers and, with the help of a few other moms, Jael gave birth to her third daughter. Onboard Chloe. The baby was a healthy little girl. It turns out there aren't any Biblical names meaning "born at a birthday party on a spaceship", so Peter and Jael thought an appropriate name might be Helah, which meant "rust". Because it's all going into the fire one day, right? Even Chloe. (And no way was Jael naming her daughter Chloe). Helah made for awkward nicknames, though, so Peter and Jael call their daughter Beth (from her middle name).Chloe has become a big part of the Aaron family's lives. But spaceships weren't meant for storytime or for birthing babies. Someday....DH: Peter Silas Aaron Jr. [12/11/2047] "Pete" (22)
