have never understood the “baby on the doorstep” storyline. What kind of mother would leave her child, much less four of them, with an unmarried bachelor who has no experience with children and would probably manipulate his poor unsuspecting secretary into babysitting them? Wouldn’t a quadruplet birth make the news? Why would the mother give them up? Wouldn’t the government give her tons of assistance and college scholarship for her kids or something? Leaving one child on some guy’s doorstep is bad enough, but he can always rope in his girl best friend or lovestruck secretary into helping him out. Two? It’s chancy, but chicks love twins and it would only help make Uncle Bachelor look adorably hapless, ergo a bigger chance to tap babysitter poon. Three would probably push the poor bachelor into pulling an Andrea Yates. Yes, I went there. Yes, I’m going to hell.

Amber has this to say: “Talk about having a bad day. You have your coffee in hand. You are thinking about that really awsome radio morning show you’re gonna listen to on the way to work. Then damn it, there is FOUR babies on your doorstep. What the fuck, right?”

I totally agree, Amber. Thanks for the cover!
