Ddog: QuincyWith lots of help from the community and her psychologist, Kathleen was able to beat depression and regain control over her life. In the year following Tucker's death, Kathleen wholeheartedly devoted herself to her children and her business, not really allowing romance to knock on her door. That changed when a very handsome Briton, Ben, came knocking on her door, figuratively speaking, as he had just moved to Kuta to be a snorkeling instructor and was in desperate need of a house that fit his standards.Kathleen found Ben his dream house (well, sort of), and having taken an instant liking to each other, the pair began to hang out together more and more frequently. Soon their budding friendship evolved into a romantic relationship, and after two years of dating, they decided to get married. Kathleen's parents weren't even invited this time, but Ben's mum Joan and his sisters Ellen and Tamsin were more than happy to fly over and witness the moment when two families became one - and in an awesome tropical island, too.Ben had always got along great with Rémi and Twyla, but he and Kathleen thought they wanted another addition to their family; after all, Kathleen wasn't getting any younger, and Ben had bashfully voiced his desire to have a biological child of his own with the woman he loved. They got to work on it soon after the wedding, but after a year of trying to no avail, they opted for fertility treatments. When the pregnancy finally happens, they find out they'll be having not one, nor two, but four kids! They really got more than they bargained for, but fortunately, they can afford the extra mouths to feed, and Twyla is super excited about her new siblings; Rémi, however, not so much: he prefers to be out playing with Quincy, or swimming, and thinks babies are icky and gross.Ben had always enjoyed going out at night for a pint or two, so he and Kathleen agreed that it'd be better if he got those urges out of his system before the babies came; Kathleen definitely wasn't up for tending to four crying newborns in the middle of the night all by herself. So one night, when she was about six months pregnant, Ben went out for a drink. And he drank. And he drank some more. And at 4am Kathleen got a phone call from the police station saying that Ben had been arrested for disorderly conduct and assault, because he'd got in a drunken brawl with another of the patrons. Not feeling very charitable then, and unable to leave Rémi and Twyla alone, Kathleen told the cop she'd swing by in the morning to pick up Ben. When she got there, she was told his charges of assault had been dropped as the other bloke had admitted to starting it, but Ben would still have to pay a fine on account of his disorderly conduct. He did, of course, and was released with no further problems, but that didn't prevent him getting an earful from Kathleen. he slept in the sofa for three nights after that, and swore not to go out drinking again until the quads were at least one year old.A few of weeks later, Kathleen went into labour. She was 31 weeks pregnant, around the average for a quad birth, and was immediately rushed off to the hospital. The quads were born by C-section: a pair of identical girls and a pair of fraternal biy and girl. The babies remained at the hospital for the next month and a half, having had digestive and respiratory problems, but they were welcomed at home by everyone, even Rémi. Cleo, Ione, Milo and Zahra seem to be doing well, but, as Kathleen had predicted, they're not very keen on letting their parents sleep through the night.
