Pilar had miscarriage, and a couple months later she tried to get pregnant again. Since she's older she wouldn't think that she would get pregnant again, but she did and she's having twins. Andy and Diana are better and just adopted a baby girl. Charlie and Barb broke up when she said she was pregnant with someone else's baby. Charlie met this woman, Beth, and her girl Annie. He's spending lots of time with them.

Charlie thinks that there might be something wrong with him because he's been trying to get Barb pregnant for a while. Eventhough Barb doesn't know he's been trying, Charlie thinks somethings wrong since they're so careless about birth control. Pilar and Brad go to a specialist after 3 months of trying for a baby. There seems to be nothing wrong, but Pilar gets a bunch of kits to help her know when to try for a baby.

Diana had a surgery to see if there is anything wrong with her tubes. At the end of the surgery they find out that Diana can't have kids. Her tubes are too damaged, and there is 1 out of 1,000 chance of conceiving a baby. Diana freaks out at Andy, and now she is becoming depressed.

Diana goes to the doctor about taking tests to see if she's okay to have babies and make sure there is nothing wrong with her. They don't find anything, but they want her to keep making sure that they are trying at the right time. That week Diana and Andy go out with Bill and his new Fiancee. Diana is starting to think life's a little more fun when they don't worry about stuff.

Pilar and Brad are trying for a baby now. It's been three weeks and they still aren't pregnant which makes Pilar worry. Diana and Andy still aren't pregnant. At the fourth of July Diana's sister Sam announces that she's pregnant again. Nancy had her baby boy. Charlie asks Barb about having a family, but she doesn't want one.

Pilar has a talk with Marina about having children at her age. Marina tells her that if she's having regrets about not having any then she should have one. Pilar won't be like her horrible parents, so she decides to talk to Brad about it. He might be old, but he said that is she wants one he might be agree with her on having a child together even at their age. I knew Pilar was going to want a baby.

Andy and Diana still can't get pregnant. Barb and Charlie have talked about kids and even though they don't try I think they'll end up getting pregnant by accident. Pilar is with Nancy again but this time it's May. Nancy is almost due for her baby and I think Pilar is having thoughts about babies. I know she doesn't want one, but I feel like she's going to change her mind.

Pilar goes out to lunch with her stepdaughter Nancy. When they are at lunch Nancy tells Pilar that she's pregnant and having her first baby. Later that night Pilar and Brad have a talk about children, and Pilar never really wanted any. Then it goes to Diana's perspective and it's now Christmas time. Diana is sad that she still isn't pregnant and she talks to her sister Gayle about it.

It's six months after all of the weddings. Andy and Diana have been trying for a baby since they got married, but still have no luck. Pilar is now taking a case where a husband and wife wanted a 17 year old girl to have their baby. She ended up keeping the baby herself, and now Mrs. and Mr.Robinson want the baby back. Pilar doesn't know if she can win the case. I think Andy and Diana will get pregnant soon.

I learned about the main characters and their family. I learned about all the couples' love stories and how they became parents. I also learned about Diana and her love life and her new husband.
