Acquiesce

two

The kitchen phone rang, Liam getting up to answer, even though he hates he needs to.

Finley wasn't around, she was off picking up Poppy from school since Kristelle and Danny(her fiancée) was off helping Danny's Ma and Pa clean the house and get rid of old stuff.

Liam answered the phone a bit cranky, "Hello?" He asked with a harsh tone, who wouldn't be irritated of someone calling mid day, when you're enjoying TV.

His eyes widened, and frown faltered to a grin before his face dropped again, "Okay! Okay I'll be there!" he says panicked slamming the telephone down and grabbing his flip phone to go and call Noel.

"Noel! I Know..! I KNOW! JUST! FINLEY'S GONE FOR LABOUR."

Liam had sworn to himself he'll never have sex anymore, at least not unprotected sex, as his hands get absolutely crushed by Finley who was screaming in pure agony.

"I DONT EVER WANT YOUR DICK NEAR ME!" she yelled at Liam as she pushed with a scream, the fact this is just her first kid.

She sighed of relief as their first kid finally was out, it was a boy, Liam suggested to name it Lennon. The other two were just as nightmare-ish, for both Finley and Liam.

Their second was a girl, Layla, Finley managed to let out and Liam repeated it for the nurse.

Their third, and thankfully the last of the trio was a boy, Winston. Amongst the three, Winston was the smallest with Layla being the biggest.

Finley fell back, gasping for air, relieved its all over. The nurse had brought the triplets to the couple, it's quite shocking to see Liam on the verge of tears as he held Lennon. Finley was already at tears holding Lyla and Winston.

Been past 2? 3 hours, Noel knocked on the door before entering to see Finley asleep and Liam sitting next to her, slipping in and out of consciousness.

Liam noticed his brother entering and he sat up straight, scratching the back of his neck, "Alright?" Noel asked, sitting next to Liam. Liam hummed, "Maggie and Kristelle are 5 minutes away." Noel told him as he looked at Finley, resting peacefully. He's always had a liking to Finley, she was funny and quite the genius, and she was almost like the little sister he needed, always there for him. Especially when he's drifted from Maggie. He was heartbroken, but he's now married to someone he loves.

"What about Meg and Anaïs?" Liam asked him, Noel shrugged, "They're coming later. With food"

There was another silence, just Finley's soft snores and the breathing from the brothers.

"Aint she a beaut?" Liam gave a small smile as he watched Finley sleep like an angel.

"How's the triplets?" Noel asked, "What're their names?"

Liam looked at his brother before getting up, "Come on."

They walked to the hospital nursery, Liam looked for his triplets, immediately spotting them based on the colour of their little towels.

He pointed to them with a grin, "That one there is Lennon," he points, "next to 'im is Layla, and then little Winston."

-

"Hiya!!" Kristelle excitedly enters the room, Danny and Poppy behind her, Liam got up to give Kristelle a hug and a Danny a hand shake, with them congratulating the new parents, as Poppy sat in the corner with her dolls.

Finley was awake now and held a wide smile as Kristelle leaned down to hug her, "Where's Mags??" she asked, Kristelle gave a sad smile, tilting her head to Noel who stood next to Meg, talking to Danny.

Finley nods knowingly, sharing an equally upset smile.

"Mommy look! A baby!" Poppy calls out for Kristelle, pointing to a stroller with a baby in it, Kristelle smiled, "Is that Anaïs?" Finley asked. Meg looked over to her and gave the biggest motherly smile, "Yes!" she said happily as she excused herself from the brothers and Liams conversation to show Anaïs to her aunt.

Everyone was laughing and chattering, Noel and Danny talked to Liam about being a father while Meg and Finley both were adoring little baby Anaïs while Kristelle helped Poppy sleep on her lap by the couch.

It was such a joyous day.

It's been a day and Finley is getting discharged since she gave a healthy delivery, she didn't need to stay any longer.

Noel came by and helped the couple get in their house with the triplets, only to be surprised by family, Liams mom and older brother Paul, Finley's sister and two kids, with her Ma and Pa.

"Awww aren't they lovely." Peggy said, swaying the Layla softly. She was the most quiet one of the three, Lennon cried every time someone would carry him, leaving him in his crib, Finley stood next to her mom, adoring the sleeping baby.

Paul and Joy (Finley's older sister) left early, leaving Peggy and Finley's parents to leave later this afternoon.

The babies were all settled asleep, the three women walking down, to catch up and have lunch together.

Liam was extra careful on how he'll be acting now he's a father, and was gentle and caring, not like he wasn't already.

He stood in front of the three cribs in the room he and Paul worked on 4 months into Finley's pregnancy. He had this stupid smile he didn't even notice played along his lips as he adored the children he had with Finley.

A remembrance of his love for her, he noticed how Layla was the only one to have black hair like her mothers, the boys had brown hair like his.

He raises a finger to caress her little cheeks but instead jumped back when Finley entered the room, scared of showing vulnerability thinking it was Finley's dad. She raised her eyebrows at him in confusion to why he flinched away from his daughter but she shrugged it off.

He gave her a worried look, "Shouldn't you be resting." He began to walk away from his triplets crib to walk Finley to their room, "I know- I just wanna see my babies." Finley stubbornly tried to stop him from pushing her to their room.

Liam sighed as he lets her defeat him, she walked fast to the babies nursery, and smiled till her cheeks were numb as she adored every little one of them.

Little did they know, they won't be quiet like this forever.
