Watching You

Graduation Day

Simone
I watch the audience to see where my family are sitting and there they all are cameras in their hands. I have gotten through college and graduate school and they have all been in the audience each time to see me get my diplomas. As with the rest of the family. My family are angry about my choice to marry Colin Burroughs in a civil ceremony tomorrow. I look down and my very pregnant bump and laugh as I take my diploma in hand. Colin helps me off the stage after getting his diploma. Mom and dad tried to get me to marry him sooner and I wouldn't do it. They wanted a big wedding for us and I just couldn't and now they are attending our civil ceremony. A party is being thrown by the combined family members after we get married. It celebrates our marriage and graduations.

Colin Burroughs
I am helping my fiancé off the stage when she winces and I have to pick her up and carry her out of the auditorium and to our car. Her water broke just as we got to the hospital entrance door. I can't believe she is getting out of marrying me yet again. I guess this I can overlook. I decide to call and see if the judge can come and marry us now. Luckily he owes us one and he brings everything to marry us with. We end up getting married three minutes before the baby number one shows her beautiful face, baby two is born ten minutes later, baby three was a real eye opener and he is very loud. Judge Lewis has long gone and the doctor who is dr Greene's son David that is delivering the triplets. All three are healthy and got a good apgar score. We have two names ready but not three. Colin jr., Miranda and Roger Burroughs. We are now married in a civil ceremony and we can slip the party because we just had triplets. Our home is ready for two babies but not three. We were aware the twins might arrive early, but triplets were not expected. Even dr Greene was surprised by it. He looked at the sonograms and thought it was a shadow from the other two babies. The other babies heartbeat was beating in rhythm of  one of the other triplets.

Teddy
We are sitting here waiting for Simone to have her babies and my wife is over due by two weeks. Our son Christian Elliott Grey is taking his time arriving. Mom and dad have arrived along with the rest of our family. Elizabeth and Angela are here as well. Raymond jr is here too. Mia and Ethan are here, their sons are away at school and business trips. Kate is here with Ava and her husband number two. Kate never remarried after Norman. Her children were her life along with her writing. She is an acclaimed children's book author. Colin finally came out to tell us he is the father of three. Dad calls someone and has them get things delivered to Colin's home for a third baby. Leave it to dad. I look at Ray jr and think he's still suffering the loss of his dad last month. My grandfather died in his sleep, Enid died three days later, sone say she died of a broken heart. I think Ray was truly her soulmate. Simone's dad Eamon had a heart attack doing what he a Carolyn loved to do all the time since they retired. Having sex with each other. Word has it they were wearing a very provocative set of maid and butler clothing, when they found them on the floor. During her attempts of giving him CPR she had a heart attack as well. They died together. What a way to go. Kate made sure they were dressed properly before they removed them from the scene. Although somehow some ghoul got photos and released them. Grandma Grace passed away trying to save a child from a car accident she passed. She rescued the child but was hit by an oncoming car. Carrick was distraught over the loss and just gave up. We don't know how or why he died, he didn't kill himself or starve he just stopped living for no reason. But we think he willed himself to be with grandma Grace. Daniella is getting uncomfortable so we are going to leave soon.

Daniella Grey
Anastasia is hovering over me and I'm getting angry because I want to be home and not here. Suddenly my water breaks okay where are you now Anastasia when I need hovered over. My father in law Christian runs over to me as Teddy arrives with our food finally. I reach out for it but my contractions hit me hard and fast soon I am lifted onto the gurney by my father in law and my husband Teddy. They push me towards the receptionist and I scream in agony. Suddenly people with medical things head towards me and I am seeing the lights overhead go by like at a grand roux race. Dr Greene arrives and he checks me over and tells my father in law he can leave and Teddy can stay. I don't have time to think and I have another contraction and I think I broke someone's hand. I grab the rails of the bed this time. They won't break, I hope. I hear a cry of a baby a beautiful copper haired grey eyed girl, I see Teddy cut the cord, then I feel another contraction and soon another little cry comes from my private area. I have a boy too a brown hair blue eyed boy. Christian Elliott Grey and Anastasia Rose Grey. Our children's names. Teddy has taken his father's place at GEH and they bought Amanda and Ray Jrs share in the Steele company. My mother in and father in law travel the world now. I am amazed at their energy. But I don't doubt their love of each other and all of us. I was a foster child all my life and it was all so overwhelming at first, but I came to endure it and although I am standoffish I want this kind of love for my children and glad to have married into this unique and wonderful family.

Gretchen update
Gretchen was robbed by gun point at a stoplight after driving her flashy car into a bad neighborhood. Her cousin was her only living relative and inherited all her assets. He used the money to send his children to college and sold all her luxury cars. The Bentley was found intact and returned to the deceased cousin who in turn sold it and bought a nice mini van for his wife.

The end
Hope you enjoyed the story.
