Ellie POV

"Thank you, Sandra," she smiled, leaving me to rest as I lay in my now clean hospital bed with the pink hospital gown on.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, the door opened.

Ramond walked in.

"Hey." he smiled. I smiled back, laying on my side as he took a seat.

"You did good."

"We, We did good," I mumbled with a smile.

"Yeah... well, I didn't push 3 babies out of my vagina now, did I?" He said, making me giggle.

"Gosh, I love you," he murmured. "I love you too,"

"Good." he grinned, making me playfully roll my eyes.

The door opened. The nurses wheeled 3 cribs in as Ramond smiled to that.

Yeah, he'll stop smiling when they keep you up at night. "I need you to do their birth certificate and a signature that you're both the guardians to the triplets."

Ramond looked down to it.

"The baby name?" he then looked at me.

"My dad suggested Xander, you suggested Justin."

"Which one for which?"

"Xander can be our first born name. He's gonna be Alpha in the future. It'll suit him. "

"Alpha Xander, " Ramond tested. "I like it," he smiled.

"Middle name?"

"Hmm, "Xander Wilson James?"

"Done."

"You wrote it down. What if I hated it?"

"You spoke it."

I narrowed my eyes to that as he gave me a kiss.

"Justin... Leevan James?"

"Put it down," I shrugged.

"Then Hope Marie James," I smiled. He smiled at that, writing it down. He signed it, passing it over to me. It had how much they weighed, the time they were born.

I sat up to sign all 3, giving it back to Sandra.

"They're beautiful names," she bowed, leaving us to it.

I watched Ramond pick up Hope.

She had a head full of brown hair and was wrapped up in a white blanket. It made me smile how fond he was of her, then there were the boys who were asleep, which made me chuckle.

"Isn't she beautiful?" Ramond smiled, looking up to me. I nodded.

He walked over to me with her in his arms.

"Hold her,"

"I.. I don't know." I bit my bottom lip nervously.

"Relax," he chuckled as he carefully layed her in my arms.

It was fine for a few seconds... then she started crying. my eyes suddenly shot open.

"Ray... Ray, take her."

"Relax..."

"Ray, please!" He picked her up, frowning.

"Ellie?"

"She hates me,"

"She's just hungry,"

"Oh..." he stared at me like he was trying to read my mind, which I blocked out before he could.

Ramond picked up a bottle that was already made by the nurses and slowly slipped the nipple into her mouth.

She kept spitting it out crying. "Now, now, sweetheart. It's good for you, " Ramond assured her. She kept spitting it out.

"Guess you're not hungry," he huffed.

My Dad and Derek walked in. Dad eyes widen in happiness. "These aren't my grandbabies?!" "Aww! Look at them, " Derek cooed, picking up Justin as Dad picked Xander up.

"Have you held one of them, sweetie?"

"Yeah."

Ramond stared at me.

"I need to sleep," I mumbled.

"Have you got to stay overnight?"

"Don't know."

"I'll check for you," Derek offered, placing Justin back down.

"I'm gonna deal with Lorenzo," Ramond mumbled.

He walked over to me.

"Ray-"

"Hold your daughter, Ellie," I gulped as he passed her down to me.

"I'll be back," he kissed my cheek.

I looked down to Hope, who was staring at me. Ramond left as it was just me and my Dad.

"Sweetheart?" I broke as the tears fell.

"Ellie..." he placed Xander down and carefully grabbed Hope, placing her in her crib. My hands went over my face.

He pulled me into his arms. "I'm gonna be a terrible mum,"

"No, no, you won't. Sweetheart, what makes you think that?"

"Lorenzo-"

"Don't listen to him! He wants you to believe that! He's trying to get into your head."

"Every argument I've been in with people is always 'you need to grow up'. Now I have to..."

"You don't realise, don't you?"

"Realise what?"

"Honey, you're already acting mature, and like a Luna, we all have our childish moments. Some more than others," he nudged me, making me laugh as I wiped my tears away.

"You're gonna be absolutely fine."

"Thank you, Daddy." I pulled him into a hug.

"I need the toilet. Can you watch them for me? Might be a bit slow."

"Of course, be careful though," I slowly slipped out of bed.
