Can he be fixed?

(26)Plans for the future

Ricky's POV

After Nini left my dad, Ej, and I sat down and talked about what would happen. My dad told me that during the times with him I would have full legal guardianship of them, but when it came too when I was with my mom they would stay with my dad in Salt Lake until I came back. We decided that it was best that we didn't tell my mom about the triplets, that would only cause more of a head ache and more trouble. That would just be one more thing that she would try too take over and control, like she was already doing in my life. So talking with dad we decided too start cleaning out the bigger room that we used as the guest room and turn that into my room, so I could share with the triplets once they were born. I took one of the days during the weekend too move my stuff into the room and try and get an idea on how everything would fit. I knew that I would have too get rid of some of the clutter I have, but luckily over the years I have learned too minimize the amount I have.

So with the triplets in mind I began too take my bed apart and start too move my bed and my other stuff into the guest room. It took about two hours too get all of my stuff set up but I still had over half the room empty that I was gonna use for the kids. So going on my phone I try too find affordable cribs that would fit in my room. Eventually I settled on a black and tan one, and put 3 in the cart for delivery. After checking out I turned my phone off and laid back onto my bed and began too think about the future. In a few short months I would be in charge of not just myself but 3 little babies. I would also be going back and forth between Chicago and Salt Lake city, with is not how thought I would spend my junior and senior year. I would be missing out on so much between the triplets lives, the theater program, and just senior year in general. But I had too stay strong and just take the hits as they come, just until Im 18 and I go and start my life with the triplet and Ej by myself with my dad close by of course.

By the time we had put together my part of the room it was time for Ej too start heading home, so giving him a quick kiss goodbye, and stealing his hoodie, he started heading home while I sat down with my dad at the kitchen table as we started too talk more about what would happen with the triplets. My dad knew that I wanted a semi regular senior year, but after everything that was happening we didn't know how that would happen, so we decided too call the only peple we could think too help, Nini's moms. After sitting down with them and them hearing the news that Nini was giving up the triplets, which I guess was never told too them Carol agreed too watched them while I was at school and if I needed her too during theater, or she would drop them off too the school if allowed by Ms. Jenn. Then while I was in Chicago she would watch them while my dad was at work until he got home, we then put them down as the secondary care givers until I turned 18 so if something were too happen too my dad there would be someone there too help out with the babies.

After having a long day I passed out on my bed as soon as my head hit the pillow not knowing how I was gonna handle all of this. I would be going too Chicago soon and I still have so much too do before the triplets arrived. I had too finish setting up my room and start getting all the supplies for them, while keeping my grades up. I would be preparing for the next musical , and trying too keep the rest of my life together how was I gonna do this? How am I gonna handle this?

*Monday Morning*

The rest of the weekend I spent ordering supplies and trying too plan out how stuff would be but its only temporary, as we would be moving in a couple weeks too a different house that was smaller just a couple houses down luckily. Snapping out of my thoughts I hear Ej's car horn so I quickly grabbed my bag and a water bottle before rushing out the door not having time too grab lunch, and not really wanting too. Hopping in the car I close the door before kissing him on the cheek as he smiles at me and heads towards school, while blasting one of are musical playlists. By the time we had made it too school we had made it through "My Shot" from Hamilton, as we parked in his usual parking spot and quickly got out too meet up with the theater gang, I had a lot too catch them up on. Just as we were about too walk into the school a teacher stopped us, its test day for freshman so unless you have too go too that isn't testing people you guy will be going too the gym. Thats when Gina spoke up " We are all apart of Ms. Jenn's drama class would we be aloud too head there?" Checking there list quickly he nods his head as he tells us we have 10 minutes too get there. Thanking him we all head down too Ms. Jenn's room too work on the musical ( hang out).

Once we got down there we walked into Ms. Jenn trying too work on some kind of scene for the play, which it looked like the Gaston song set up. Once she noticed that we were all down here we all walked into the room setting are stuff down and started too work on what we had been working on at the work shop, but I had other ideas. "Hey guys so um I have some stuff too tell you guys." Then I began too explain everything that has been happening, with my mom, with Ej and I getting together, then finally the news I heard from Nini. "Wait YOUR GONNA BE A FATHER." Kourtney screamed as I nodded my head as I looked down not ready for the rest of there reactions. But then all I felt was everyone surround me in a hug, as we all stood there just taking in the love from how close all of us are.

By the time we had started too work on the set we were all in high spirits and ready too get too work. Splitting up into different group, Ej and I of course being together in the same group we started are work on the castle set, as Ms. Jenn began through the songs with us, first was the Mobs song, and on from there. Mixing it up and going through the whole musical we had managed too finish 3 set before it was time for us too head too are actual classes because the test was over with. Giving Ej a hug I sadly said goodbye before heading off too my first class of the day, which I payed no mind too, most of the classes I was in I was actually pretty good at and the stuff I didn't know I could always ask Ej about later as he has been in all advanced level classes for the past 3 years in his high school life.

After are last class had finished we all rushed down to the theater room to see that everything was packed up into there group set wise, and most sets were finished. Smiling we went up too Ms.Jenn who was packing usher stuff at her desk and from what it looks like closing up the room for the day, then she said "You guys have done an amazing job this past weekend and today during the testing I decided too let you guys have this afternoon of and there isn't any musical rehearsal today. After everyone gave her a hug we all headed out of the school together trying too figure out what we were gonna do, looking at Ej I got a serious look on my face as I was starting too think about what all I still had too do too get ready for these babies. Nodding his head at me he understood that I had too go start planning and getting stuff packed up too move because I had too start buying stuff for the triplets so he helped me make an excuse which back fired. "So um Ricky is moving into a smaller place with his dad so we are gonna go so we can start packing things up." Then Ashlynn said "Oh that sounds fun too do, how about all of us go and help it can get the work done much quicker then we can hangout and work on any school work we might have after." Everyone started too agree, so hesitantly I nodded and said they could come while Ej gave me a worried look which I just shot back a half smile before leading the group towards my house.
