WHAT HAVE YOU RESOLVED TO DO BY THE YEAR 2000?
Susan Kennedy's going to have a baby...by the time she turns forty. Which is in the year 2000. It's something she'd wanted -- planned -- for the past decade. Now she's got everything she needs to go ahead. A nice home, a successful career, a loving family. Everything except a husband.
She used to have a husband -- Michael Kennedy -- and that's the man she wants for her baby's father. She only needs Michael's "biological" contribution, though.
But then, when Susan's pregnant, she discovers two unexpected complications:
1. She loves Michael more than ever and wants him to be her husband again -- and a father to his child!
2. There isn't going to be one baby, but two -- she's having twins.
