Zoe's POV
We had just moved into our new home. This was going to be an exciting month. Tomorrow we are going to the doctors to find out the genders. We would also be doing everything for the babies bedroom. There were two sides of the floor in the loft. One side was mine and Alfie's and we had an en-suite. The other side was one big room in the middle and two smaller rooms either side that you could only get to from the main room. That would be the twins rooms.

-The next day
I was so excited. So was Alfie he held me close as we walked into the doctors.
The whole place felt as if it was moving in slow motion. I couldn't tell whether it was the nerves or excitement. We walked into the room and I lay on the bed/chair thing. My bump was quite large already I was nearly halfway through my pregnancy though. A nice nurse called Jennifer put the gel substance on my bump.
"Have you seen them before?" Jennifer asked
"Yes we saw the two little gems in America." I replied
"Two?" Jennifer asked confused
"Umm yes we were told its twins." Alfie said squeezing my hand.
"Well I think this may come as a surprise. It's not twins. It's triplets."
Jennifer said calmly.
"But how we saw the photos there were only two." Zoe said worriedly.
"Okay. You don't need to worry this happens all the time sometimes one hides behind the others and as they were so small you couldn't really make it out. Honestly they are perfectly healthy and happy and nothing is wrong. You are very lucky people to bring three special people into the world." Jennifer said to try and calm us down
"Oh well that is pretty amazing then." I smiled and looked at Alfie.
"Well would you like to know the genders?" She said
"Yes please!" Alfie said
"Well you have two princes and on Princess. The boys aren't identical by the way." She smiled
"Oh wow that's so amazing!" I beam. Alfie holds my hand.
"These children will be they happiness in our lives and I will love them as much as I love you. Which is so frickin much" Alfie says as he plants a kiss on my lips.
Jennifer smiles at us and then says "Okay so the due date is still August 7-10th but it could still be three weeks before or after and that is completely normal. There is a higher chance it will be a C-section when it's triplets and also if the babies still haven't arrived after September 1st then it will be an emergency C-section. That is all completely normal protocol though so you have nothing to worry about. See you in a few months!" Jennifer says as we walk out of the room.

We we're in the car driving home when I ask Alfie
"Thought of any names yet?" I said.
"Hmm I like Theodore." Alfie says
"What about the other two?" I laugh
"Not sure." He says
"What about Leonardo? That's a nice name." I say
"It's brilliant but what about our little girl?" Alfie says
"I don't know we'll have to think about it and other options for the boys"I said
