The Story Of Us

17

---Alex's POV---
Justine decided to move back in with me, but still kept the house. Justine was due in seven weeks and we couldn't be more excited. We were told due to Justine carrying more than one baby, we shouldn't be surprised if they come before their due date. I decided to stay home with Justine and take care of her. I wasn't about to miss my kids being born.

One morning, I woke up to see Justine sitting up and timing herself. Justine winced once every four or five minutes.

"Time to go to the hospital?" I asked.

"Yes," Justine replied. "Let's go." I stood up and ran to help Justine up.

"I got you." I stated. "Just breathe babe."

"I'm breathing." Justine stated. "I can't believe it's finally time." I got Justine up and grabbed her hospital bag.

"I'll cancel the meetings I have for the next few days." I stated. "I want all the focus on you and the babies." I helped Justine down the stairs, out the front door, and into the car. I activated my out of office email, got into the car, and made our way to the hospital.

At the hospital, Justine was hooked up to a bunch of monitors and we waited for the doctor to come in and let us know what's going on. I kissed Justine's hand and held it.

"It hurts so bad." Justine muttered.

"Are you sure you don't want the VIP section?" I asked. "I don't think it's too late to get you moved, is it?"

"I can't afford it." Justine replied.

"I can." I stated.

"If you insist." Justine stated. I kissed Justine's forehead, summoned the nurse into the room, and requested the move.

Once we moved rooms, I rubbed Justine's back and kissed her forehead.

"Better?" I asked.

"So much better." Justine stated. "Can I stay here forever?" I chuckled. I kissed Justine's forehead and helped her with her breathing.

"Breathe in," I stated. "Breathe out. You got this." The doctor walked into the room and looked at Justine.

"Well," The doctor stated. "It looks like we're going to have to do a C-section. If we do a natural birth, the girl will not make it by the time her brothers come out." I looked at Justine in a panic.

"Alright," Justine stated. "Do what you have to do to get all three babies out of there alive." The doctor nodded and walked out.

"Our babies are in danger?" I asked.

"Our babies will be fine." Justine stated. "Don't worry love." I kept holding Justine's hand.

"I can't believe we're about to become parents." I stated, trying to stay calm.

"Are you okay babe?" Justine asked.

"I'm okay." I stated, not realizing my voice went up an octave. Justine kissed my hand.

"Relax love," Justine stated. "We're going to be okay. I love you." I kissed Justine's forehead and faintly smiled.

"I love you so much." I stated. The doctor walked in and raised the bar on Justine's bed.

"Time for the C-section." The doctor stated. I kissed Justine.

"I'll be right here." I stated. "I love you so much."

"I love you too babe." Justine stated. Justine was rolled out and to the operating room.

---Justine's POV---
I woke up after the C-section to see Alex waiting, holding two of the babies. I looked at Alex and raised my eyebrow at him.

"Where's--" I asked.

"Quinn needed surgery." Alex replied. "Don't worry, she's under the best care as possible. I made sure of it.... Do you want to hold Addison and Jordan?" I nodded. Alex handed me the boys. I held onto them.

"Which boy is which?" I asked.

"The boy in your left arm is Addison," Alex stated. "The one on your right is Jordan." I looked at Addison and noticed a small cut on him.

"What happened to Ady?" I asked.

"The doctor nicked Ady when they were getting the babies out." Alex stated. "It was an accident. Ady has my big head." I looked at our sons and kissed the top of their heads. I kissed Alex and smiled.

"I love you." I stated.

"I love you too." Alex stated. That was when the doctor walked in holding Quinn. Quinn was crying, causing me to cry. Alex took our boys, allowing me to hold our daughter. I gently kissed the top of Quinn's head.

"Thank God you're okay." I whispered. "I'm grateful that all three of you are okay." Alex put the boys into their incubators and took Quinn. Alex was crying.

"My baby girl." Alex whispered. "You're okay." Alex kissed Quinn's head and placed her in the incubator. Alex kissed me and smiled.

"They're finally here." I stated. "It's crazy, isn't it?"

"I know." Alex stated. "Our babies are finally here. This is officially the best day of my life." Alex kissed the top of my head.

"Mine too." I stated. Once the nurse came and took the triplets to the nursery, Alex and I were left alone. Alex took my hand and kissed my hand.

"I love you." Alex stated.

"I love you too." I stated.

"Crazy how this happened in less than a year." Alex stated.

"I don't know how," I stated. "But I fell in love with my boss. There's something about him that made me fall head over heels for him. Don't know how it really began, but I knew it was destined to grow into something major." I kissed Alex's hand and rested my head on his arm. Alex began to play with my hair.

"I love you so much." Alex stated. "I cannot wait for the rest of our lives together."

"I can't wait to see what our future holds." I stated. I made room in my bed for Alex to crawl in and join me into bed. Alex and I began to cuddle.

"Will you marry me?" Alex asked. I looked at Alex.

"What did you say?" I asked.

"Will you marry me?" Alex asked. I kissed Alex happily.

"Of course I'll marry you!" I beamed. Alex got up and grabbed a ring box. Alex opened it and put the ring on my finger.

"I love you." Alex stated.

"I love you too." I stated. Alex and I cuddled for the rest of the night.
