"Jessica, are you having any cramping?" Emily asks.

"No.  I haven't had any pain at all."

"That's good!  Do you mind?" She asks slightly pinching the fabric of her blouse.

"No, of course not!  Go ahead." Jessica lifts her shirt.

"Does this hurt?" She asks pressing into her stomach.

"It's a little sore."

"Okay.." Emily then looks at Isaiah.

"Mom, was the bleeding heavy?" He asks.

"No."

"I really think the babies are fine."

"What do you think the bleeding is?"

"Well it could be the sudden stretching of your uterus, or.." Isaiah breathes deeply. "I'm only asking because these are my children in there.. did you have sex today?"

"No! I didn't."

"Nah, I didn't pound it today." Danny says.

"Daniel." Jessica makes a face.

"Sorry!"

"It's okay, just relax. We're almost there." Isaiah says looking out the window.

After arriving at the emergency room they took her back.
A nurse came in immediately to start the ultrasound.

"Are they okay?" Jessica asks.

"Let's see.. there's a heartbeat.. and there's another heartbeat!" She smiles.

"Oh Thank God!" Jessica takes a sigh of relief.

"Thank you Jesus!" Emily cries tears of happiness.

The nurse then continued to scan around her stomach.

"What is that?" Jessica asks.

Isaiah and Emily look at each other with wide eyes.
Danny steps closer and his jaw drops.

"What's going on, you guys?" Jessica asks.

"Oh!" Danny laughs. "Oh this is funny!"

"What is it?!" She asks once again.

"Mrs. Huston, there are three babies! You're having triplets."

"No." Jessica says in a soft voice.

"Yes you are!" She laughs.

"No. No I'm not!" She was beginning to panic.

"Momma, there are three babies in there!"

Jessica had absolutely no emotion. She didn't know how to feel.

"Isaiah.. I'm gonna kill you." Jessica spoke in a low voice.

"Aw! I'm sorry, momma!" He laughs and pats her shoulder.

"So you see here?" The nurse points to the screen. "This is baby baby A.  Baby A has it's own sac, and baby B and C are the twins.  They share a sac so they'll be the same gender."

"This is so crazy.  Baby A, B and C!  What the fuck?" Jessica says looking like she could pass out.

"Oh my gosh.. I'm gonna have three babies! Holy shit, if I smoked I'd need a cigarette right about now." Isaiah says running his hands through his hair.

"Hell me too!" Jessica says.

"We're having triplets!" Emily shouts.

"I'm guessing no home birth, Jess?" Danny asks.

"Shut up, Daniel!"

**

The car ride home was pretty quiet.  Everyone was in total shock.
When they pulled up Noah ran to open the door.

"What happened?  No one called!  Are the babies okay?"

The four of them walk in in a zombie like state.

"Guys?  Is everything okay?" Gabriella asks.

"Yeah.. Yeah.. I need water." Jessica says.

"George, grab her some water." Anjelica says. "Now what happened you guys?"

"Uh.. we're not having twins.." Isaiah says.

"You're not?  Then what are you having?" Anastasia asks.

"Three.. three babies.. we're having triplets.... That's three babies!" Jessica says, her eyes widening.

"Triplets?!  Ahhh!  Oh my gosh my baby brother is going to have three babies!" Gabriella shouts with excitement.

"Here's your water, Jessie.  What I miss?"

"Gramma's having three babies!" Charlotte says.

"Holy shit!" George drinks the water.

"Uncle George!" Charlotte shouts.

"What?  Oh!  Sorry!  Three babies?!  Tell me you're not having a home birth!"

"Well I wanted one!  But I guess with my age, plus having three babies I would be considered high risk.. I still want to deliver them vaginally though."

"Ouch!  Why would you want to do that?!" Anastasia cringes.

Just then the door opens. "We're here, guys!" Sarah smiles. "Why does everyone look like they've just seen a ghost?"

"Well to go over the last four months. Jessica starts. "I decided to carry Isaiah and Emily's baby for them, the first round didn't work. The second time.. it did."

"What?!" Evan and Sarah's eyes widen.

Danny chuckles. "Just wait. It gets better."

"I found out at six weeks it was twins. Just an hour ago I was bleeding so they took me to the emergency room and.. well.." She takes a deep breath.

"Are the twins okay?" Sarah asks.

"Oh they're okay!" Jessica chuckles.

"It's triplets." Isaiah says.

"Oh damn!"

"Yeah.. so this is still fresh for us.. and even though we're all very happy for these three precious miracles.... We're shocked!"

"Yeah we're very happy!
.. But like Jessie said, we're shocked. I feel bad for putting you through this though." Emily grabs her hand.

"Oh honey don't feel bad! I'm happy to do this! Three babies! This is great!"

"This is nuts!" She laughs.

".... Guys, don't forget that I'm pregnant too!" Gabriella whines.

"Oh my gosh, you're pregnant too?!" Sarah's eyes widen.

"I am!"

"Oh my Gabby!!"

"I know! I'm so happy for me!" She smiles.

"I'm sorry, sis. How far along are you?" Isaiah asks.

"Ten weeks!" She smiles.

"That's so great, princess! So you're due mid to end June?" Jessica asks.

"Yep! When are you due?"

"July seventh. But I'm sure I'll have them way before." Jessica chuckles.

"So are you coming back home?"

"When I come home for Christmas, I'm staying til I have the baby."

"Yay!" Jessica wiggles her bottom. "So you're not doing the Nutcracker after all?"

"No, I'm still doing it!"

"Gabriella, you know how I feel about that."

"I know but I'll be fine and the baby will be fine. It's all good, momma." She smiles.

"Be careful with my grandchild!"

"I will, Mamacita!"

...

"Is someone gonna offer us some turkey?" Evan asks.

"Want some turkey, papa?" Charlotte smiles up to her grandfather.

"Thanks, princess!" He smiles and picks her up.

"Sawah!" Willow runs to her.

"Yes, my chunky girl?" Sarah gets down on the ground and opens her arms.

"No huggies!" She pouts and slowly walks to her mother. She lays her head on Jessica's lap and continues looking at Sarah.

"Well what did you want, Lo?" Sarah chuckles.

"Me wanted to say.. me wanted to say.." Willow thinks as she taps her finger on Jessica's thigh.

"I-I four now!"

"I know! I was at your birthday party, silly!"

"Oh yeah! I member now, silly head!" Willow laughs hysterically.
