3 weeks later.

I got Emma to babysit while Sterling and I went to the doctor. I told her that we were going out to the movies.
"You ready to see the first pictures?" I asked him as we drove to the hospital.
"Sure" he pulled into a car park.

"Isabelle Carter" I told the reception lady.
"Just sit over there and the ultrasound technician will be with you soon" she pointed to the waiting room.
"Thank you" we went and sat down.
"Why didn't you sound surprised when I told you?" I finally asked him the question that was bugging me.
"You were acting the same way when the triplets were found. I just had a sneaky suspicion that's all" he explained.
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"Because of the mood swings, that's why those boys ran out because you scare them easily." He explained more.
"Isabelle Carter?" The technician
"Here" we got up and followed her.
"So, you're pregnant?"
"Yes"
"This is your first pregnancy?"
"No, we have one year old triplets at their aunt's house"
"Ok, three wasn't enough then, is this your first ultrasound with this pregnancy?" She. Asked
"Yes"
"Let's get started" she put the gel on.
"Well are multiples common either of your families?"
"Yes I am a twin and he is a quint" I told her.
"Surprise you are carrying Quads" she said showing us the screen

"Wow," I gasped.
"We've done it before we can do it again with one more" Sterling said keeping things positive.
"I did it last time you can tell everyone this time."
"Deal" We thanked the technician and went for an ice cream since a movie would take longer than an ultrasound appointment.
"Should we start with names?" Sterling asked.
"How about planning on tell our parents they are going to be grandparents again and that there are four first?" I asked.
"Fine but I'll write a list of names so that when I die you have some names I thought of." He sound so serious it was funny.
"Ok but they won't kill you until all seven are out of the house." I told him.
"Wow in a year we will have 7 kids around the house how scary is that?" He said realising what is in store for us.
"Yep but we can do it we are Sterling James and Isabelle Carter" I pep talked him into it.
"You're right"
"We should contact Lexi and ask her to be our midwife"
"Definitely she was great last year" we ate our ice cream.

After an hour we decided to go back to Emma's place.
"Hi guys they're all asleep" Charlie welcomed us in.
"Thanks" we went into the lounge room.
"How are you?" I asked her.
"Good Uni is great" she smiled. She is studying a major in psychology.
"Cool" Sterling shared her excitement.
"How are you guys?" She asked. I looked at Sterling.
"We're better than ever" I smiled at her.
"Something's up" she studied me.
"Yeah but I'm not ready to talk about it" I told her.
"You don't have cancer do you?"
"No I'm ok"
"Phew" she was worried.
"Do you and Emma want to come over for dinner tomorrow night?" I asked her
"Tomorrow night?" Sterling was surprised.
"Yes" he gave me a weird look.
"Ok, tomorrow"
"Ok?" Charlie slowly agreed.
"Great see you there." We grabbed the sleeping toddlers and went home.

"No I'll take Oden" Sterling stopped me from grabbing the toddler, I already had Blake. "You shouldn't carry too much extra weight" he explained grabbing Oden.
"Ok then" I took Blake inside and into his crib. I grabbed Oden off Sterling and put him in his crib while Sterling put Felicity in her crib. I grabbed my phone and rang IsZac.
"Hey Belle" he yawned. It was 11 am.
"Hey Isaac, did I wake you?" I asked going outside.
"Wake me no... Yes but I'm up" He said waking up more.
"Can you guys come over tomorrow night for dinner, can you ask dad? I wasn't sure if he was at work today or not."
"Um yeah I'll ask him. How are you?"
"I'm fine the trio are having a nap and yeah I thought it's been awhile since everyone was over so I decided to do a dinner as the big family we are" I told him.
"You're going to make the announcement again aren't you?" Isaac asked.
"Um... Don't tell anyone" I hung up. My twin knows me too well. I rang Lane.
"Hawello" Micky answered.
"Hey Micky can I talk to daddy?" I asked her.
"Um okay daddy sleeping but uncle Liam is here" she said.
"Ok can I talk to Uncle..."
"Hello?"
"Hey Liam can you guys come over tomorrow night for dinner?" I asked him.
"Sure I'll tell Lane and I'll come after my shift at the fire brigade." He said.
"Ok thanks" we hung up. I rang Hamish.
"Morning Belle" Hamish said over the screaming in the background.
"Morning I'll make this quick, can you guys come over tomorrow night for dinner?" I asked.
"Sure"
"Thanks" we hung up. I rang one more person.
"Hey Belle is everything ok?" She asked.
"Everything's fine I just rang to ask if you guys would like to come and have dinner tomorrow night?" I asked
"I'll ask but I'm sure mum and dad will say yes. See y'all then."
"Bye Peyt" I hung up. I went back inside.
"Everyone is invited" I told him.
"When the kids wake up we will go shopping for ingredients. What will we cook?"
"Spaghetti bolognese and chicken nuggets for the fussy eaters"
"Good idea." He went and prepared Lunch for everyone. I helped him until Blake came down with the others.
"Hi guys" I picked up Blake and put him in his high chair and doing the same with the other two. Sterling gave them the pasta and they dug in.
"We are going to the shops to get some food" I told them washing the dishes.
We put them into their car seats and put the pram in the back.
"We here" the kids hoorayed. I grabbed the pram and Sterling put the kids into it.
"Let's go" I told the kids as we headed for the entrance.
"Ok we need mince, Spaghetti, pasta sauce, chicken nuggets, garlic bread, onion" I listed as Sterling put them into the trolley. We paid and took everything home. The rest of the day was chill.
