The Next Step:Jiley's story

Dream or Nightmare?

Positive.

I'm so excited, even though it will be a lot of work, James and I can do it. I unlock the bathroom door and walk downstairs, I see James washing up some dishes from breakfast and walk up behind him. Sliding my arms round his waist I hold the test so that he can see it. I wait for an answer but instead of him verbally replying he turns around and crashes his lips onto mine, he's the best. After a couple of minutes of making out I hear Josh crying from upstairs and sigh, knowing he's hungry "I'll be back in a minute," I tell James leaving his strong grip to walk upstairs and feed Josh. I pick him up and go into the corner of the room he shares with Dom and Isaac and sit down on the nursing chair and begin to feed him. Whilst I'm feeding him I stare into his brown eyes and admire his tiny button nose, he's so perfect, so are all the others and so will the next baby I think to myself.

12 weeks later

The last few months have gone pretty smoothly, Eldon made a great recovery and now him and Michelle are back together, James and I are doing alright, we still miss Annie, so much, but now we're just focusing on the others, and the next baby, the babies are all nearly six months old, we have decided to push the wedding back because we want the new baby to be there and now we are going to our first scan-I just hope it's only one this time....

We arrived at the hospital after dropping the kids off with my Mom and Dad and  now we're sat in the waiting room. "Riley Raymond, if you would just like to come this way." I'm told, on shaky legs I walk to the room with James next to me, I can't wait to meet our new baby. I get in the room and I'm told to lie on the table whilst they begin to set up the ultrasound equipment, I look over at James still pretty scared, he smiles at me but before I get a chance to smile back I get the gel spread across my stomach and a picture begins to appear on the screen, I look at it, trying to work out  if everything's alright but I can't seem to work out what the black and white fuzz means. "I think you might be have triplets," We're told, I swear my breathing stops for a moment, that's eight children. "How do you only think there might be triplets?" James asked taking the words out of my mouth "Well, I cant identify the third heartbeat but I can find three heads, this isn't uncommon because only babies heart could just be slightly hidden or have a very weak heart however to have it clarified I need to get a doctors second opinion, so just give me a moment." We're told, I look over to see James, his face is a mix of fear, confusion and excitement. To be honest I know I should be concerned about having eight children to raise I can't wait to meet my three, well maybe two new babies. After a couple of minutes of  James and I sat there in silence trying to absorb the fact that we're having twins or possibly triplets when the sonographer and the doctor walk in and begin to observe the scan, "I can confirm that you are having triplets." the doctor says. I was so excited, this is a dream come true, yet also a nightmare, how do we look after that many children? I ask myself.
