We walked inside the house, Ethan threw his keys on the side table and we went and sat on the couch. I placed my hands on my stomach and took a deep breath.
"Triplets." Ethan said.
"Yeah..."
He took a deep breath. I bit my lip and looked at him, a small part of me worried that he wouldn't want to do this anymore.
"So, do you still want to do this?" I asked my voice shaking as I looked at my hands.
"Do what?"
"Have the babies, stay with me..."
He looked at me like a deer in the head lights before grabbing my left hand.
"You see these rings?" He asked playing with my engagement ring and wedding band.
I nodded as I wiped an escaping tear away.
"These two rings I gave to you, to not only prove my love for you, but to show you that I will be at your side through better or worse."
"So, this is the worst?" I cried.
"No! No, this is the better. Because I told you that I wanted as many kids as you'd give me." He got up and sat on the coffee table in front of me.
I wiped more tears away.
"There is no way that I would be mad or leave you for having triplets. We just did an awesome time with that making babies in the hot tub."
I laughed as he grabbed me a tissue.
"I love you." I said.
"I love you too."
"You do realize I don't want to get pregnant again for a while, if ever again."
He nodded.
"You'd be okay if we stopped after this?"
"Seeing as you're pregnant with three at a time, yes. It's like a three in one deal."
I laughed again.
"I would be happy with four." He told me.
I nodded.
I was getting bigger, if I got any bigger then I'd explode for sure.
"They are kicking like crazy!" I giggled.
A couple days after that the pain began. I wasn't sure if it was actually labor seeing as I've had practice contractions for a day. However, the next pain was followed by a gush of water.
"Ethan!" I screamed.
He came rushing in.
"It's go time." I cried out.
"What do you want to do?"
"Can you take me to the hospital? I want to go to the hospital!" I cried.
"Okay, come on."
So off we went to the hospital. We called a babysitter for Connor while we were at the hospital. The pain was so much worse then it was with Connor. I was crying and squeezing Ethan's hand the entire way there.
"Okay, lay on the bed." The doctor said.
Ethan walked into the room and grabbed my hand.
"I'm scared." I admitted.
"Everything will be fine."
I had never had surgery before for anything.
"It's a girl!" The doctor said.
"A girl!" I cried.
Ethan smiled and kissed my hand.
"The second one is... Another girl!"
I cried and laughed at the same time as I lifted my head to look at her.
"Please be a boy." Ethan whispered as the doctor worked on getting the third baby.
"It'd be perfect, two girls and two boys." I said.
"Congratulations, it's a boy!"
I cried and put my head on the pillow.
"Good job baby." Ethan said.
We were released a few days later and everyone was healthy.
Welcome Kayla, Amber, and Bentley!
Whew! The triplets are here!
