Jessica held baby Jessica in her arms. She smiled and was amazed at how beautiful her granddaughter was.

"My Jessie girl! You are so beautiful! You look just like grandma!" Jessica giggles.

"I'm just kidding. You're even more beautiful.. you and your brothers are perfect. All three of you are worth all the pain. Yes you are! Yes you are!" Jessica baby talks.

**

Isaiah noticed his mother heavy breathing and knew it was time to deliver the after birth.

"Okay Jessica, come to daddy!"

Jessica gave her son a look and he froze.

"That sounds horrible.. I meant Jessica my daughter.
Not you."

Jessica couldn't help but crack up.
"Here's your baby.  I need to push."

"MORE BABIES?!" Charlotte asks with wide eyes.

"MOMMY, STOP!" Willow says in a panic as she lifts her chubby little hands.

"No more babies." Isaiah chuckles.
"Grandma has to push out the placentas.  You can watch if you want."

"Okay!" Both girls walk closer.

"Zaya, I think these girls have seen enough.  Charlie and Willow, go to the bedroom." Gabriella says.

"Aunt Gabby, we've seen everything!  We need to see how this ends!"

"Yeah GA-BBYYYY!" Willow rolls her eyes.

"You little porker!  She rolled her eyes at me!" Gabriella shouts at Anastasia, earning a mean look.

Jessica then moaned softly and pulled her legs back.

"I've seen your vagina way too much, mom."

"Oh shut up, Isaiah!" Jessica whines.

"Sorry.. Go ahead and push."

...

"It's not coming OUT!" Jessica groans.  She was so frustrated and exhausted.

Isaiah reaches up and rubs her stomach.

"I know nursing helps get all that out." Danny says.

"I'm not nursing them, Danny."

"Not the babies!  I'll step in if you need it." He shrugs.

"DAD!" Both girls make faces.

"Sorry, I'm just trying to be funny!"

"You're not!" Jessica says in a strain.
"Okay, it's coming." She adds as the placenta slides out with little help from Isaiah.

...

".. It's out.  Ana, hand me that bowl, please."

"HEY!  I gave you that bowl in a set for your anniversary last year!" Gabriella shouts.

"It's your mother's placenta jar now, Gabriella." Danny says.

"I spent good money on that!"

"Shut uuuup!" Jessica shouts.
"I have one more, and I want to be done." She whines.

"Dad, will you rub her stomach?"

"Sure."
Danny then rubs Jessica's stomach and smiles.
Jessica gives him a dirty look.

"Isn't this fun, Babydoll?"

"No."

"Remember that day by the cake table when we first met?  I never thought in a million years that I'd be rubbing your stomach to try and get a placenta out of you right after you birthed our son's triplets."

"You make us sound fucked up." Jessica chuckles with exhaustion.

".. We are!"

"Shut up."

"Will you push this thing out already?!" Danny groans.

"It's not ready!" Jessica says in a whine.

Danny pouts and says, "Well my hand hurts."

"Danny.."

"Yeah, beautiful?"

"Why are you such an jackass?"

"It's just who I am, baby."

Jessica then begins pushing once again.

"This is taking years!" Willow says.

"You'd think with all the babies she's had, things would be sliding out of there." Ana says with a straight face.

"Right?!" Gabriella agrees. "You'd think she'd be like a human slip n slide by now!"

"You know what?  Fuck you bitches." Jessica says to her daughters.

**

An hour later.

"Oh it hurts.."

"Nice and slow, baby."

"You have a clean bed, momma!  You're welcome!" Gabriella smiles.

"Thanks.. Where is George and Noah?  Are they back yet?"

"Not yet."

"It's been too long!" Jessica says on the verge of tears. "I'm scared!"

"Don't worry, baby, I'm sure they're okay."

"It's horrible out there!  How could you let my son and brother go out there, Danny!" Jessica turns to him and shouts.

"This isn't my fault!" Danny lifts his hands.

"Mom, you're going to make yourself sick.  I'm sure they're okay." Isaiah says.

"It's so bad out there, how am I not supposed to worry?"

"I know, I'm sorry."

Soon one baby started fussing.. then another, then another!  They then all joined together and screamed and cried loudly.

"Oh no!!" Jessica shouts.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"My boobs.. they're leaking!  They need milk!" Jessica sobs.

"Oh no, I'm out of here!" Willow runs out.

"Me too.  Too many crying babies and grandmas!" Charlotte follows her aunt.

"What am I supposed to do?  They hurt!" Jessica cries.

"WAIT!  Oh my gosh, am I the only smart one here?!" Gabriella asks.

"Um.. Definitely not." Isaiah says.

"Mom has a breast pump here!  She can pump and the babies can take it in a bottle."

"Why didn't we just do that?!  Now my brother and baby are out there in this mess!"

"Things were crazy and no one was thinking straight, mom." Anastasia says.

"Well somebody please go get it!  My bra in soaked!"

**

"And there are Mommy's boobs." Isaiah says sarcastically with a fake smile.

"You delivered the babies that came out of her vagina, and you're weird about her breasts?!  All of America has seen those!"

"That's true." Isaiah shrugs.

Jessica looks down to the breast pump and sighs with relief.

"Oh that's much better. Num Nums are coming, sweet babies!" Jessica says to her grandchildren.

"They are not happy!" Gabriella says bouncing her own baby.

"They're starving!" Jessica pouts. "Poor things."

"Gabby, can I hold her?" Anastasia asks.

"Sure.  Go with Auntie, princess."

"Come here, beautiful!"

"Aw look at Ana!  You're gonna make such a good mama one day, baby." Jessica smiles.

"Oh no!" Anastasia nods. "I don't want kids!  I'm fine with just being an auntie!"

"Ana!" Jessica pouts.

"I am Not going through labor!"

"Let your mother do it for you." Danny chuckles.

Jessica rolls her eyes and says, "Ana, I want you to have a baby!"

"Don't pout, mom.  I just don't want kids.  It's not a big deal."

"It is sooo a big deal!  Here, I just need one more." Jessica says changing her tone to hand the bottles to Emily.

"Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, sweetie.
Anyway, Anastasia!  I want grandbabies!"

"Hah!  I think you have more than enough, mom." Anastasia laughs.

"You can never have too many babies in the family!"

"That's why she's given birth to nine babies!" Isaiah says.

"Holy shit!  Nine babies flew out of me!" Jessica says with wide eyes.

"That's a lot!" Danny laughs. "Nine babies naturally.  My Babydoll is a badass!" He lifts his hand to high five her.

"Haha!  I am!  Thanks, baby!"

**

"Okay, that's about all I can get out right now.  Do you need me to feed a baby since you two are busy?"

"Yes, will you?  This is Hunter.. or is it Harvey?" Emily makes a face. Once again she felt like a horrible mother.

"It's Jessica!" Anastasia laughs.

"No it's Hunter.  Definitely Hunter."

Jessica looks at the baby and sees him kicking his little feet.

"That's definitely Hunter.  I'll never forget those happy feet!" Jessica smiles.

Emily chuckles and hands him to her.
"Come here, buba.. oh aren't you handsome?  Danny, he looks so much like Isaiah!"

"He does, doesn't he?"

"Yeah.."

Just then George and Noah walk in soaking wet.

"Oh thank God!" Jessica sighs with relief.
"I was so worried!"

"Here. Is. Your. Damn. MILK!" Noah shouts at Isaiah.

"Nugget, calm down, honey!  You'll get a tummy ache!" Jessica says in a soft voice.

"I'm fine, mom!  That was the worst experience of my entire life!  We almost died!"

"Wait, what are they eating?" George asks, noticing the triplets drinking from a bottle.

"They were hungry so, they're eating Jessie's breast milk." Danny answers.

"No." George says, his face completely straight.

"Not only is that absolutely disgusting, I almost died for this formula!  Uncle George, grab a glass, you and I are going to enjoy this together."

"Oh God, Stop over reacting, Noah!" Gabriella says.

Noah turns to her and says, "You weren't there!  You don't know!  It was terrifying!"

"My poor baby!" Jessica pouts.

"Thank God we're home.  It's all good, Noah." George pats him on the back.

"Yeah.. I'm gonna go kiss Kenny and squeeze my daughter until she leaves for college.  I never thought I'd see them again!"

"Poor Nuggy.. he must have been scared!" Jessica pouts.

"Ya think?" Anastasia chuckles.

**

"The Three Musketeers!" Jessica smiles down to all three babies laid on the bed.

"Look at Harvey! He's unfazed by this all!" She laughs.

"Right?" Emily laughs. "Hunter James! Smile, baby!"

"He looks spooked." Isaiah chuckles.

"He does.. and I think Jessica is taking a poopy!" Gabriella giggles.

"Jess?! I know you're wearing a diaper, but excuse yourself!" Danny jokes.

Jessica laughs and pushes his arm.
"Danny stop!"

"You nasty girl!"

"Stoooop!" She whines.

"I'm just kidding! This is going to be fun!" Danny laughs.

Jessica laughs then looks down to the babies with a smile. "I birthed them!" She points.

"You did!" Emily laughs.

"They're huge, aren't they?"

"They are! I don't know how you did it." Isaiah places his hand on her back.

"Me neither!" Jessica laughs. "They're some big ol' babies! Just like you were!"

"I was pretty big." He chuckles.

"Yep! The biggest preemie ever!"

Isaiah laughs and kisses the top of her head.

"You did great today, momma."

"Thank you, Dr. Huston." She looks up and smiles.

Isaiah laughs.

"I know looking at all that and touching areas no child wants to touch in their mother was hard, but thank you for doing it."

"Of course! I mean we were closer than I ever wanted to be but, it's all good!" He chuckles awkwardly.

"Haha! And I'm officially your favorite, right?"

"You had my babies! Absolutely!" He chuckles.

"YAY! But go ahead and tell me.. I've always been your favorite, haven't I? It's always been obvious, baby."

Isaiah leans in and whispers, "Don't tell dad."

"Haha! You know I will!" Jessica playfully taps him.

"Yes I do." Isaiah laughs.

***

The rain eventually stopped and the entire family moved to a home that was not flooded.  Evan and Sarah's.  Everyone was packed in that house, and with four newborns, it wasn't exactly a party.

"Thank you for taking us in, Sarah.  I'm hoping they won't take too long to fix up the house. I feel bad that we're literally taking up the entire place!"

"Oh Jess, stop!  It's totally fine!  We love having you guys here.  It reminds me of when you all stayed here when that animal died in your house."

"Oh gosh that was terrible!" Jessica laughs. "But it was so much fun staying here!"

"It was!  That was when our babies were BABIES!"

"Aww!" Jessica pouts.
"And Emerson And Willow weren't even a thought!" Jessica laughs.

"Not for like another twenty years!" Sarah laughs.

"Oh gosh, that's crazy!  I don't even think Ana was born yet!"

"She wasn't?!"

"I don't think so.. Oh wait! I remember!  It was after we came back from New York!  I was pregnant with her." Jessica chuckles.

"That's right!  Man, time flies.."

"I know." Jessica pouts.

**

"Lulu, you need to stop crying, baby!  I've fed you, I've changed you, I've sang to you—"

"That's it's!  That's why she won't stop crying!" Anastasia says.

"Shut up, Ana, I have a beautiful voice!" Gabriella gives her sister a look.

"Hah!  Right!  Give her to me, I'll calm her down."

"Go ahead and give it a try.  I'm gonna pee!"

"Alright.
  Come here, baby.. you're okay!  No more crying, aunties got you." Anastasia lightly bounces the baby and sings softly.

"Hello Beautiful
How's it going?
I hear its wonderful
In California
I've been missing you
It's true..
But tonight, I'm gonna fly
Yeah tonight, I'm gonna fly
Cause I go across the world
And see everything, and never be satisfied
If I couldn't see those eyes"

The baby calmed down and looked into her aunt's eyes.  She gave her a smile as she chewed on her hands.

"You like aunties voice, don't you?  Pretty girl!" Anastasia giggles.

"I'm so much better than mommy, huh?"

Lucy giggles and kicks her legs with excitement.
Just then Gabriella walks in.

"Have I gone deaf?"

"No!" Anastasia laughs.

"How'd you get her to stop?"

"I sang in a good voice."

"Well you're on baby duty now, sis!  Whenever she cries, you're on it!" Gabriella smiles.

"Actually, here.  I have to step out for a minute."

"Where are you going?"

"On a walk."

"Where are those pills?"

"None of your business."

"That's it, I'm telling mom and dad right now!"

"Stop!  I'm going on a walk.  There's nothing you should be worried about."

"Give me those pills, Ana!"

"I don't have them!"

"MOM!" Gabriella shouts, making the baby cry.

"I just calmed her down, why did you do that?"

"We're talking about this right now!"

"What's wrong?" Jessica slowly walks over.

"I didn't bring this up the other day because you were in labor, but something needs to be done!"

"What's wrong?" Jessica asks.

"Nothing!  Nothings wrong.  Gabby's just an idiot!"

"Because I care about you?  Because I don't want you to kill yourself?!"

"Girls!  Tell me what's going on!" Jessica raises her voice.

"Anastasia is still taking those pills, and she's ALWAYS drinking!  She says she doesn't have a problem, but she does and I'm the only one that sees it!"

"Ana.." Jessica looks at her in tears.

"Mom, that's not true.  I have a drink here and there-"

"No, you do drink a lot, Ana.  I've spoke to you about that before."

"Mom!"

"And the pills?  Anastasia, you have so much going for you.. please don't do this.."

"Mom, I'm not doing anything! I was going for a walk, that's it!  There are so many damn kids in this house, I'm starting to go crazy!"

"I caught her taking them the night you were in labor!" Gabriella says.

"You bitch!"

"Anastasia, Enough!"

"Please just stop. Everyone stop!"

"Show me what's in your purse."

"Back off my ass, mom!" Anastasia shouts.

"Hey!" Danny walks in. "What's going on in here?  Don't yell at your mother."

"They're both accusing me of something I'm not!"

"Show me what's in your purse and I'll drop it."

"You're my mother.  How dare you not trust me." Anastasia looks her dead in the eyes before she storms out of the house.

Gabriella then walks into the living room and straight over to Ashton. "It's YOU!"

"What?"

"You're around her more than anyone! You see her struggling and you don't do shit!"

"Gabby, what the hell are you talking about?"

"You know my little sister is addicted to those pills! You know she's a drunk and you haven't helped her!"

"What the hell are you talking about? No she isn't!"

"She's been here a couples weeks and I see it, I KNOW you have!"

"I haven't, Gabby."

Gabriella rolls her eyes and scoffs. "We need to help her! I don't want my baby sister to end up dead!"

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated!

If you aren't reading my other book, "Our Love", I would love it if you checked it out! It's my current favorite to write!

Let me know what you think about everything going on with Anastasia. How do you feel it's going to end? I know where I'm going with her character, but I'd like to hear what you guys think.
