He and Bob are on hand to help deliver the twins, who are duly named Heath and Cath. Emily Bronte would be proud.
Oh yes, she must be doing a happy dance right now.

The international edition of Newsweek online baffles us with their own Brontë reference when it comes to Valentine's getaways. (Image source)
Want something wilder? Re-create Heathcliff and Cathy's windswept "Wuthering Heights" liaisons on the rugged Yorkshire moors by visiting the real Penistone Crag in Ponden Kirk. Return to a roaring fire at the Devonshire Arms, where the Brontë sisters used to meet for tea. It's now an exclusive hotel complete with four-poster beds and a Michelin-starred restaurant (€842 per night; thedevonshirearms.co.uk). (Esther Bintliff)
As far as we know the Brontë sisters met for tea at home. More likely this place is where they rented their cabs and gigs from, but who are we to contradict the marketing people?
