Episode 12: Holy Cow that means three!

Just me at him! "Ok, honey. It looks like it is time to become a mom. You ready?" he asked rhetorically. "No, I am not f**king ready. I changed my mind." I screamed. I turned to my mom who was looking at me while trying not to laugh.

Lord, I will kill her later as well! "Ok Amelia when I say push I want you to-" "Push? What am I am freaking re- OW!" I screamed, "Doc if you do not give me drugs right now I am going to get off this stupid birthing table and punch you in the face."

At 6:59 PM on the 2nd of September, I gave birth to two beautiful baby girls called Ava and Mae and … and one surprising little boy, who I called Adam.

Holy Cow that means three! I was in the hospital for about three days afterward, and that was only because the triplets (Lord I was still not over that), were born a little early so they had to be observed for a few days in case they were‟t well. But like their mammy, aka me, they aren't weak.

Most of my family and friends have come by and seen us all. Well, except my Dad and John. My dad, I got. The fact that John had not come by really hurt, he had promised and Olivia said that she told him. I guess that I couldn't count on him….

ONE YEAR LATER Jacob had left about a week after I got home from the hospital, screaming that there was no way in hell that he was my babies dad and that he didn't want to be a part of this sick life. It hurt when he said that. I had wanted my kids to have a dad growing up.

The closest that they have is Kent, Olivia‟s new boyfriend and he wasn't the role model I want for my kids. I was pulled out of my daydream by my mom‟s voice.

"Amelia?" called my mom "Mmmm mom. What is it?" I walked into the lounge room carrying Ava. Mae and Adam were already in there in their little playpen that we kept in the lounge room. mom was sitting on one of the couches feeding Adam.

It was difficult to carry them all at once or to feed them or to change them or to do anything. It was very lucky that my sister was at home most of the time and mom had reduced her hours at work. Even Olivia came over after school every day.

"I have been asked to go away on a business trip for about two weeks. Would you be ok with me going? I don‟t have to if you don't think that you could cope.

Grace has said that she will be here a bit more" I thought about it for a minute. The triplets are now about a year old. They were certainly a hand full but I had learned how to cope. They all had different personalities.

Ava was very impatient. She would cry louder and more often if she wasn't getting what she wanted.

Mae was a quiet girl. She hardly ever cried. Adam was already protective of his sisters. I thought that it was extremely cute. Although they were all very different they all loved each other very much. Adam and Mae were both very smart taking their first steps when they were both about eight months.

Ava had been jealous of her brother and sister and had taken her first step at nine months. It was both adorable and hilarious to see them all walking together trying to catch each other.
