“You don’t think she’s leaving us…do you?” I say to them.
We all stop in front of her door and stare at it.
“You three are weird. Just go in you big babies.” Terri teases us as she walks over to us.
The three of us look at her and make faces at her. Then all of us take a deep breath and go into the room. Renee is laying on a bed and there’s a machine next to her that’s beeping.
“Are you okay?” Christophe asks her as he kisses her.
Jérôme and I each take a hand.
“I’m fine. I wanted to show you something.” She smiles at us.
We watch Terri wheel another machine into the room and I see Jérôme’s eyes go wide.
“Baby...” Jérôme whispers.
All of us watch Terri squirt some gel onto Renee’s belly. Then she moves the device in her hand around. All of a sudden, there’s a fast thumping noise. And it sounds like it’s overlapping itself.
“Is that what I think it is?” Christophe asks, looking at Terri, then Renee.
“That’s baby’s heartbeat.” Terri answers. “In fact, there’s not just one baby. There’s three. Congratulations you guys are having triplets.”
“You’re serious?” I say as I stare at the screen. Then I close my eyes and listen to the thumping noise.
“I’m sure those little sacs there have a baby in each one. And judging by their size? I’d say you’re about six weeks along.” Terri laughs. “I’ll give you all a minute together.”
Each of us takes turns kissing Renee and then her belly. Three babies. I couldn’t ask for better news today.
Renee
All three of them look really happy about our babies. Holy shit. We’re having triplets. Now papa Dorian needs to wake up so we can tell him the news. I watch each of my men rub and talk to my belly.
“We each need a name we’re going to be called. Cause if our babies just call all of us papa, how will we know who they want?” Christophe smiles.
“Well there’s papa, daddy and père.” Jérôme suggests.
“I’ll take papa.” Christophe says.
“I’ll take daddy.” François smiles.
“I guess I’ll take père.” Jérôme laughs.
“And me? Is it mamma?” I ask.
“Mamma is Italian. That’s what we were raised to use. But it’s really up to you.” François says.
“I like mamma. Holy crap. I’m going to be a mamma.”
Everyone laughs. This is my family. After my other family disowned me and then I lost Jonah, I thought that was it. But look at what I have now.
“Is there any update on papa and Tanya?” I ask Jérôme.
“They will page me when papa wakes up. And I told Tanya we would come and see her soon. But I don’t want to tell her about the babies. I want to tell papa first. If that’s okay.” Christophe asks us.
“Of course. I wouldn’t want it any other way.” I say as I kiss him.
“Thank you for giving this to us. Without you we wouldn’t be papas.”
