811 GENDER REVEAL II
“Now, now. It’s ti for the gender reveal.” Cheska pointed her finger to the screen once again, “This baby here on the right is a boy. Then, this baby on the left is also a boy. However, this baby in the middle, a little bit on top of the others; I couldn’t see the gender. The baby seed shy and he or she covered her private part. We can do another test next ti to see what’s the gender of your third child. For now, it’s confird that you’re having triplets and two of them are boys. I wish the last one would be a girl.”
“Ain’t my sperm amazing?” Stefan muttered which made Cayenne burst into a fit of laughter. Of all the things he could say from this experience, he had to complint his sperm for doing the best thing they could ever imagine. “Will we know if they’re identical or fraternal?”
“We can do the test if you want.”
“There’s no need. We can just wait for another surprise in the future.” Cayenne replied because she wanted to look forward to how her babies would look once she gave birth to them. “I still can’t believe we’re having triplets.”
“But,” Cheska suddenly turned solemn and looked at them seriously in the eyes. “You have to be extra careful. I know that Stefan is really doing his best to take care of you but things could happen out of your control and it may risk the babies. When you feel pain or any discomfort, let know as soon as possible. I can co to your house instead of you guys driving here.”
“Thanks, doc. I’ll be sure to rember that.”
“Also, if you ever give birth to them prematurely, that’s normal. You don’t have to bla yourself if that happens.”
“How premature could it be?”
“7 or 8 months, or in between; that’s totally normal. You just have to ensure you’d co here when you feel the contractions. It would be painful; you better brace yourself as early as now.”
.....
Cheska gave them more tips about pregnancy and the risk that cos with especially with them having triplets. Between the couple, Stefan was the one who noted everything that the doctor said because his wife was still on cloud nine and won’t probably step down from it for another hour or so.
On their way out, Cayenne was still holding the picture of their babies which Cheska developed for them. The smile on her face couldn’t seem to disappear. She has very complicated emotions right now. “I was expecting a twin.” She muttered while caressing her stomach. “I felt that there should be more life than one inside because my stomach looked bigger and Faith also said the sa thing. Who would have thought that we would be blessed more?”
Stefan wanted to say sothing in response but when they ca out of the hospital, snow started falling, as if greeting them happily for the three lives that his wife was carrying. Cayenne looked up and raised her hand to catch so of them. She could feel them lting on her palms and the sight gave her warmth. It was like her heart at this mont – it was lting from so much happiness.
Stefan hugged his wife and kissed the top of her head again and again. “This is our first snow together as a family,” he said in a hoarse voice that Cayenne knew full well he was crying, “I love you so much, Ayen. I love you more each day. I’ve been thanking God for sending you to my life but it felt like I’m not thanking him enough. His gift to is incomparable to any treasure in the world.”
“Sotis, I still think that I’m dreaming and every day, you reassured that this is reality. Hon, I’m glad that you didn’t give up on . Thank you. If it wasn’t for your persistence, I wouldn’t be here standing with you with our children in my tummy. Also, I really wish the third baby is a girl.”
“I want to see a mini-Cayenne, too,” Stefan replied and both of them giggled at the thought of it. “Shall we have a gender reveal party? Not really a big one, just with the family and close friends.”
“I wonder what would their reactions be.”
“Let’s do it when we get the third baby’s gender.”
“Or how about we won’t take it and make it a surprise after giving birth.”
“Then, what about the room design?”
“Right! I forgot about it. Well, it doesn’t matter. They will stay in the sa room for the next 2 or 3 years and they could only move to another room at 4. That saves us the hassle.”
“Then, let’s choose a neutral design for all three of them.”
For about ten minutes, the two of them enjoyed the first snow together with the three lives inside her womb and after that, they left to visit Alexander’s grave to tell him about their babies and asked him to guide the lives that she was carrying. Then, they visited Erald and placed the photograph of her ultrasound. She has another copy of it because she told Cheska to develop two photos and it was for this very reason.
“Ma, I wish you waited for these children to co out and see you. You could’ve been a very great grandmother to them. You raised and my brothers really well and I know you would be able to help do the sa to my children. Yet, all of this is just wishful thinking.”
“She may not be here anymore but the things she taught you, I am sure you would be able to use them.” Stefan expressed to comfort her. “Let’s go ho for now. It’s getting colder.”
“Hm.”
Cayenne and Stefan finally left to go back ho and to share the news with their family which will be held hastily since they just knew of the result as well. On their way ho, Cayenne called an event organizer and asked them for help since she couldn’t do things on her own and Stefan has to rest because he looked really pale. He even puked in the cetery earlier.
