A HANDFUL OF QUINTS

CHAPTER 1

CHRISTOPHER P.O.V

"I thought I found the love of my life.I thought I had life figured out.My dad was always against my love life.He would always tell me that women are despicable no matter how much love you show them."....I thought about all this as a tear rolled down my cheek.
I told her I supported this pregnancy.....why didn't she tell me she didn't want these kids.worst of all she didn't even tell me they are quintuplets.How the hell am I supposed to take care of quintuplets.Am too young for this.i haven't even reached the university....infact I haven't even completed my highschool.

I hate myself right now...I can't even look at myself. I'm the worst father.
I said all these ñegative things to myself as I drank alcohol while looking at these babies..

God what the fuck is this ?!...two hours later my dad shows up.
"Yeeii...this outta be fun". I said this to myself and even added a chuckle.

"What are you doing?"...was the first thing my dad said when he entered my room....."And why are there babies on your bed"

Silence prevailed in the room.

"Chris I want to know what's going on" Tears immediately rolled down my cheeks and I couldn't control the sobs that followed.I told him everything..... absolutely everything.There was no point of hiding the truth especially now that I felt like life had slapped me in the face.

"Where is she now?" My dad asked.

"Well in the letter she said she wanted to start a fresh and to do that she has decided to move to a different state."

"Are you kidding me right now son?"

"Why would I lie dad?!"....I sobbed more now.

My dad banged the table so hard that it made me flinch.

"Didn't I tell you?...I told you not to trust her...I even begged you to focus on your studies"
"Are you happy now?!.....are you?!...now look at the problems ur facing". By this time I was now on the floor sobbing at the sad truth of my life right now.

But what my ad did next suprised me.

"Here....have this glass of water"
I took it silently...drank the water as I watched him stare at the ceiling above us silently.

A few minutes later he broke the silence .

"Do you know why I continuously despise women?!"
"No....why?!"
"Because that is what your mother did to you"

I immediately dropped the glass...out of shock.

"But you told me she died."
"I know"....he then nodded his head.
"Then why did u lie to me"...my anger slowly rising.
"How could I tell you that the woman you call mother,the same  woman who carried you in her womb for nine months  abandoned you" my dad shouted."how could I"...he said this silently to me.

To say that am suprised would be an understatement.I am shocked.

"Son, you are a father now.You need to start taking care of your kids."he sounded so desperate.

"I know dad but how?!....I haven't even completed my studies."

"Son, there are daycares for a reason....ohh and nanny's exist too".
We both chuckled at that.

"You need to start working hard for your kids....in order to give them the life they deserve."

"Yes dad, I understand "...Will you help me take care of them".

"Is that even a question.....man if you think am gonna let you take care of my grandkids alone then you are sadly mistaken.I don't trust you... especially with the girls...."
We both just laughed at this point.
"

It's not everyday we see a beautiful team of quintuplets"

"They are beautiful...that's true...but dad...we don't know much about babies....how are we gonna do this?"....

"Well I think we should call your aunt..." He said this with a frown on his face.

"You do realize that she is your sister"... I made sure to look at him as I said this.

"She would be if she would stop her blame game.she is always blaming me and reminding me of my past and am sure she will blame me for this too."

" Well I don't want to see her if it means hurting you.....we can just call her and ask a few things....ohhh and we can lie that we always babysit kids.."

Dad just smiled at me and patted my shoulder....He then pointed at the kids and said "you see this.....we are in this together."

We did our father-son bro hug..

"I just hope we figure all this out and that Celine better not show her face to me ever again..." I said all this through gritted teeth.
