"mommy's working!" el shouted as ilona, kallik and tihana all hugged her legs.
"mama!" ilona frowned, her little brown eyes looking up at her widely and her lips pouted to distract her mother.
el shut her laptop and looked down. "mommy is working.." she said slowly, her patience losing by the second.
elliot passed on the company to her after he wanted to pursue his career. el didn't really mind because she liked working at the company.. that she now renamed to be her name because why not.
and though these little devil triplets were a pain in the butt, she still found time to work whilst taking care of them.
and even when she had business meetings in other countries, she made sure to take them and mike along.
tihana pouted as well. she was the youngest and for sure the most clingy out of them three.
kallik went to tap on her thigh. "mommy, so pretty," he smiled and el knew what he was doing.
being two and a half, he was pretty smart. he knew if he complimented her enough, it'd distract her and he'd get what he wanted.
"aw, thank you baby," she leaned down to pick him up but that only made his little sisters whine and cry.
el sighed, leaning down to pick them up as well and it was quite hard since there was three of them and she was sitting down on the kitchen stool.
triplets. el and mike both fainted at the news.
literally.
"so, what's the gender, doc?" mike grinned as el stared at the screen and squinted her eyes because she could not see her little baby.
"um.." the doctor moved around el's stomach and el snapped her head up at her direction due to her tone.
"is my baby okay!? is it me? am i too young? i'm twenty four! are we not healthy!?" el started to panic and squeeze onto mikes hand.
"no, all of you are perfectly healthy. it's just," the doctor began to smile, "there's three."
"three what? three hearts!? is that normal for a baby!?" mike exclaimed and the doctor shook her head.
"no, three babies. you're having triplets. a boy and two girls," the doctor said and both mike and el turned to each other.
"triplets?" they echoed.
"oh god," mike breathed out and fanned himself.
"do you have triplet genes? i don't," el wheezed and squeezed into mikes hand. "oh, i'm getting lightheaded."
"no, it's alright," the doctor tried to reassure but mike had already hit the ground and el had laid back unconscious on the bed.
"why won't you guys bother daddy?" el asked as they all giggled, "daddy no fun." ilona shook her head as el grinned.
"well, mommy needs to work right now so why don't you guys bring some toys over and you can play on the floor. how does that sound?" el asked calmly and they all nodded.
smiling, el placed them down on the ground one by one and then she exhaled when she could focus back on her work.
she did enjoy the work a little bit. it made her rich and she enjoyed the money actually.
and being boss, there's not much to do anyways.
once her fingers hit the keyboard, she felt a tug on her pants.
