How Complicated Can It Get

Chapter sixteen

  I stood there wondering where I had heard those words before from Jake. "Janey, I want to ask you if when we reach the time when we can now the genders of the the babies that we can find out then. I know we didn't find out with our other children, but this time with three. It will make it easier to buy nursery items?" I let out a loud sigh. "Of course we can sweetheart. I was going to ask you the same question after my nap." We sat and ate cookie after cookie, until the phone rang. Snapping Jake and I out of our fantasy dream. I supposed that Jake was imagining me naked, or holding our babies. Jake shot up and answered the phone. Something happened that he yanked the phone away from his ear. "Jake, who is it." He walked back in and told me it was Luke. I slowly stood up, and walked towards Jake. I leaned against the wall and rubbed neck. Jake moved my hand, and kissed me on the neck. I kissed him on the cheek. "He placed the phone back down on the receiver, and moved back to in front of me. "That was luke, he wanted to know if we all wanted to go to dinner tonight. All the kids want to apologize for their behavior when they found out you were pregnant. Also we haven't told anyone, but Lauren about the triplets." I thought long and hard about my schedule. "Well Jake, I haven't been somewhere besides a hospital room in about three weeks. And Jake you are the keeper of my schedule, since I am an injured fiance." He laughed, and helped me upstairs, because I thought I needed help finding something to wear. I had forgot I am only 16 weeks along (or 4 months along). I am not even showing all that much. "Janey, we can find out the gender's in 4 more weeks. Aren't you excited." I smiled, and then realized that even at four months along the babies still pressed on my bladder. I forgot however that there are three babies pressing on my bladder. "Jake please excuse me for one little second while I go empty my bladder, because three little munchkins are jumping on my bladder." He just laughed at me and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Just remember that we will have three new babies in just five months." I smiled, I was so happy that Jake and I are closer than before. When I was done relieving myself, I decided that I was going to put on some make-up. It might help me feel like I am not an ugly, injured mother. As soon as I left the bathroom, Jake stood up and I could tell I ready to go. "Janey, You look so beautiful. I think this may make me love you even more than carrying my children." I blew a kiss toward him, and walked right past him. Well I tried to walk past him, but he caught my waist. "Can I have one kiss before we go see our children." I puckered my lips, but then felt Jake kissing my stomach three times. It made me so mad, that I pulled his head up and pressed our lips together. We finally broke apart to catch our breath. "Our kids are going angry that we are late." Jake said laughing. "You can just tell them that I can't really go fast these days with this damn boot on my leg." I said lifting up my broken leg. That was coincidently feeling better. After being ready for a half hour Jake and I finally wore out the door and in the car, driving to the italian dinner in town. We arrived to find all my children just sitting there talking to each other, but I could tell they were hiding something.
