Prologue
Alexis POV - Age - 39
I rest my forehead in my hands as I sit calming down. Two tears fall before I stop my emotions from overwhelming my mind from my duties. Now I'm a widow with 10 kids and the newborn triplets. How can I do this alone? Is not until I'm touched that I come back to reality. I see a calm black woman sitting at my side.
?-Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
-I.............
I just wave my hand and I lean back against the wall.
-You look familiar but I can't remember the details.
She just laughs at my words like she was expecting this.
?-I'm Suzette from college. I remember you clearly. Top of the class and the most liked guy at campus.
I huff then laugh as memories flood back to me.
-Not according to you. Always healing every single student or injury you saw.
Su-I knew you could remember with a small nudge.
We laugh before she sits sideways and looks at me.
Su-So, how long you been married? Is this your first baby?
I look at her surprised before she helps realize where we are. Maternity hospital. I sigh and tell her both things plus one.
-22 years only. Is the eight pregnancy and I just became a widow.
Su-Sorry. I shouldn't have asked.
-Come, let me show you the baby.
I grab her away to the room where now the bed is empty while three nurses care for the triplets. A baby each. I grab the eldest triplet.
-This is the eldest triplet, Falcon. The one behind me is Fox and the youngest one is Hawk.
Su-Wow, triplets. So cool and cute.
She pokes at Falcon's hand softly before she steps back.
-What about you? Why are you here?
Su-I came to care for my best friend and her twins. I'm her nanny for now.
-Twins.
Su-Here's my number if you need something. I'm going back with her. I have to get her home.
I nod and just like that she's gone and I'm with my kids.
Rose POV - Age - 38
I swing my legs restless as I'm eager to get out of this hospital. I only stand when she finally comes in and I can't help myself.
-Suzette, what took you? I've been waiting ages.
Su-I know, sorry. I got distracted with an old college friend.
-Oh naughty.
Su-Oh no. He's not my type and besides, his wife just died from birth.
She stops to think about that before she smirks at me.
-No. I can't handle a man right now.
Su-Yes you can. He can help you and if you're together everything is possible for you.
-No. I got no time.
Su-Wathever, you just follow the flow and I'm in charge of everything. I know you, I just need to know him and I will do it.
I groan but as we pass on some other topics we grab a baby each and go to the car. We're ready to go home.
Dylan POV - Age - 15
I shift nervously unable to let go of the car steering wheel. I came to pick dad up with my siblings. Is my first time driving such a distance in such a big car. Dad let's me practice on his Honda, a decent size car but to get the triplets, me and him we need the big one and I am nervous. All my driving is practice and I only have my learning permit this year. It was a good ride. Not much traffic at this hour. A babies noise makes me jump out of the car by instinct but my smile quickly fades when I see is two ladies with two babies. I enjoy the sight until they leave and I stay looking at the doors 15 minutes before dad comes out with three nurses behind him.
-Dad.
Alexis-Dylan.
He grabs me in a hug and I tighten it before he let's me go to the nurses.
-Wow.
I take one away from a nurse and I look at dad.
-I like babies. So cute.
Al-We have to go home.
-I get the babies while you drive. The babies need an experienced ride.
He laughs and even so we get the babies on the van and dad drives while I watch the babies from the back seat.
One year later
Suzette POV
I wait for my friends to arrive to the party room. I promised them both we would celebrate their babies first birthday at the best place and I intentionally set the place for all their five babies. Lucky me their birthdays are on September 9 and 16 but the open date was the 20 so my plan works perfectly. All my previous dates have failed as they either don't arrive or leave early so this is the best way wich they both agreed to celebrate the first birthday.
I squeak excited as I see how they both arrive and only the two parents come up to me.
Rose-Suzette, what did you do?
Alexis-Again with your antics?
-I have everything well sorted and ready. Rose, I told you I would do everything. Alex, I'm just helping you guys out.
They share a look before talking.
Ro-She did everything.
Al-She planned for five birthdays already.
They look at me before they turn to the kids and call them out. Not long after we have a line of people coming in the party room. The eldest kids have 16 now and the youngest are 1 as is their first birthday party. My kids are 15 and 10.
His kids are Dylan with 16, the triplets Annabelle, Isabelle and Mirabelle are 14, Phoebe with 10, Ethan has 9, the triplets Ari, Asta and Akila with 7, Kelly with 3 and the birthday triplet boys Falcon, Fox and Hawk.
Her kids are Amber with 16, the twins Lilianna and Lucianna with 12, the next twins Molly and Polly with 10, Aldo with 5 and the birthday twin girls Emma and Gemma.
I go inside and the party begins.
To be continued five years later......................
