There's Fire

A Woman's Work is Never Done

Janae's POV

It was early in the morning and I had just got up. I heard Roman's phone ring and he reached over and grabbed it. He was nodding as if the person on the other end could see him. "Good morning, what's the early call for Bella? Why a group call?" He said Bella and that peaked my interest. "What? Yeah, we're on the way." He sat up. "Yeah, Gianni come get me. See you soon." He maneuvered to his chair and rolled to our closet. I looked over and shook my head at him. He slipped his hoodie on and I saw him debating on pants aside from his shorts. "Do you want to fill me in?" I asked.
    "Bella had the triplets." He smiled. "The girls are here. She wants mom, Gianni, and I to meet them. She said you can come too."
    "I'll come later. You three need this time." I smiled he nodded. "It's still early I think your basketball shorts will be fine." I tried to comfort him. He nodded and came over to me. He motioned for me to bend down so he could give me a kiss. I followed him out to the front door just as Gianni was pulling up. Gianni had just got back home a few days ago and I noticed he was happy to come get his brother. I waved bye to them and went in the house. I went and got some work done in the office for a while. Throughout the day the girls wondered in and out playing. When Adrian got home from school it was time to go see Bella and the babies. I decided that Eva and Tati could just meet them when they come home because those two were bouncing off the walls. I had picked up the food Bella had wanted just before Adrian got home. We rode to the hospital and found our way to the room. We were greeted with Angie, Gianni, and Roman each holding one of the babies. "Hi mama, here's the food you earned." I set it down.
    "Oh thank you so much! I'm starving." Her hair was all down and she looked good. They must have made her take a nap. "You look amazing. How are you?"
    "Oh, I feel amazing. When I called Roman and Gianni the babies had already been out for a while. Ethan and I wanted more than enough time with them first. Mommy's been here the whole time. They technically were born yesterday." She admitted.
    "Oh that's smart." Adrian smiled.
    "Yeah, I got to get to know each one a little bit. I got to take my first shower. I pooped already!"
    "Oh that's awesome!" I laughed.
    "Right, with each child I was constipated." Angie laughed.
    "I asked for a stool softener right after they all existed. Where's my rugrats?"
    "Terrorizing poor Dre and Val. They have a ton of energy today and now that they both walk, hands are full." I laughed.
    "I'm so excited for them to start walking!"
    "Woah, enjoy the sleeping all the time phase. Once they start crawling the takeoff from there and next thing you know they're away at college starting their own life that you no longer get to see every day."
    "Zariah didn't answer the facetime earlier. He's in his feelings." Ethan laughed.
    "Oh okay, I get that." I nodded.
    "Natural?"
    "Yes! Actually my labor was easy. I didn't really push the first baby out. The nurse came in and peeked under the blanket she was head and shoulder out. All I did was sneeze. The last two I didn't push much."
    "How far apart were they?" I sat next to Bella's bed chatting.
    "Wait names! We need names momma. Slow down. You guys can finish mommy after names."
    "Oh it slipped my mind. Baby number one is Rose Giavanni Marchetti-Scott. She is the oldest by a total of 55 minutes combined. Baby number two is Lily Roberta Marchetti-Scott is older by 33 minutes. Baby number three is Violet Ramona Marchetti-Scott."
    "Well those are beautiful names." I smiled.
    "Okay let me guess. Nonna is holding Lily. Uncle Gianni is holding Rose. Dad is holding Violet."
    "Yes, but I promise we have shuffled them several times." Angie laughed. Gianni had stood up so Adrian could sit and hold Rose. He was making sure she held her correctly. Bella had become engrossed in her food again so I went over to Roman. Little Violet was looking up at her Uncle. "You can hold her." I noticed she was about to cry and Bella was on high alert. "She's probably hungry. She didn't want to latch when her sister did. She laughed. I brought her the baby and placed her in her mother's arms. Bella smiled and adjusted herself. Bella looked the most at peace since I have known her feeding one of her babies. I went back to Roman and he pulled me between his legs. He just hugged me. He rests his head on me. I remember on the day I was supposed to be due he had shut down. As I gazed at the small baby I hadn't realized Roman was rubbing my empty stomach. I just leaned over and kissed his head. That's all I could do. I knew he was craving a baby. He was never afraid to tell me.
