Ben POV

It's been 5 days since trying for a baby and Milly is hesitant to take a pregnancy test. I understand though, I mean a plastic stick will tell us if we have a new member in our family. But she will have to take it sooner or later especially if she is in fact pregnant. I won't push her though, I don't want to seem rude.
We were sitting on the coach in the living room when literally out of the blue Milly says "That is it, I'm taking the test, you stay down here."
"Ok babe," I say, still unsure why I have to stay downstairs.
Small Time skip

It has been 8 minutes since she went upstairs I was getting a little worried, until of course I read on the pregnancy test box it takes 10 minutes for a result. Luckily not soon after I read that she comes downstairs holding the test.
"I haven't looked yet, I was too scared," I could easily tell she was nervous saying that. "It said give it 10 minutes so I set a timer." 
Soon after that the time went off. I could feel my body tense up. "You ready?" I said not even knowing if I was ready.
"Yea I think so," Milly turned the test over. She stared at it for a second then turned her head slowly, her face was filled with shock. At that point I didn't know what to think. Was she pregnant?
"Look babe!" She says while handing me the test. It had 2 lines, saying she was pregnant. She starting crying happy tears. I felt a smile form on my lips as a bear hugged her. I was going to be a dad to a little baby.
"We are going to be parents babe!!" She cupped my cheeks and kissed me.

Milly POV

It's been 3 days since we found out I was pregnant. I called the doctors to get an ultra sound to see if the baby was healthy. And today is the day we see if we really are pregnant. I put on sweat pants and a t shirt with light makeup. Ben put on some jeans and a sweatshirt. We got in the car and left the driveway. I was nervous and Ben could tell.
Ben kisses me on the cheek, "It's going to fine babe, the baby is going to be healthy I promise."
I nod my head in response.
Driving to the doctor's office Ben and I sang to the songs on the radio like we always do. It really got my mind off of the ultra sound. And before I knew it we were there. Ben parked and helped me out of the car like a gentleman. We then checked in and got taken to the room.
"Hi my name is Dr. Smith, I will be your OBGYN. Today we will be doing an ultrasound correct?"
"Yes ma'am," Ben says while I'm to scared to say anything.
"Great, how about we get you to lay on the table Mrs. Barnes and we will get started."
I look over at Ben. And you could tell I was scared.
"You'll be okay love, I will be right here next to you." Ben whispers, I nod in response too scared to say anything.
I get on the table and Ben holds my hand. The doctor puts a cold gel on my stomach and starts the ultrasound. We can't see the screen, but she can. And I watch as she goes from a normal face to a shocked face.
"Is the baby okay?" Ben looks at the computer screen. A mix of shock and... horror.
"Someone please tell me if my baby is okay, I'm the only one who can't see the monitor."
"Well Mrs. Barnes there seems to be..... 3."
"3 what?!" I'm now panicking, Ben is still looking at the monitor.
"3... babies."
"Triplets?! We are having 3 babies!" My mind is shocked, horrified, and at the same time happy. We are having triplets....

After the appointment we got some pictures and went to get some food. We decided on McDonald's since it was easy and we deserved a treat after what we just found out. I was excited about the announcement. But Ben I'm not so sure.
"I can't believe it Ben, we are having triplets!! That means 3 of everything, including names." To be honest I thought 1 name was going to be hard, at least I already have a list (that I will show later).
I look over at Ben who is silent. My excitement turned to worry. Does he not want the babies anymore?
"You okay Ben? I understand if your scared but you have been really quiet."
Ben looks down at his feet, "I'm excited, just still processing it. Imagine babe, 3 newborn babies, 3 toddlers, 3x the amount of diapers, clothes, baby formula, and nurseries we will need. I will also have to protect 3 babies and a wife. What will y'all do when I travel for acting?" He makes eye contact with me, I now have tears in my eyes. He is right, this is going to be harder than I thought.
