Three days later
*Spencer's POV*
"Hey Spence, where do you want the rocking chair to go?" Aria asks.

"Um, you can put it over in that corner for now." I respond, pointing my paint brush towards the back corner of the room.

Aria and Ezra came over to help Toby and I finish the boys' nursery! We haven't started on Bella's room yet, but I'm only five months pregnant, so we still have time for that. Toby and I have had the hardest time picking names for our little boys, but we both decided we liked the name Isabella for our daughter, Bella for short. I prefer long girl names, and Toby prefers short, so Isabella/Bella is the perfect compromise.

I invited Hanna, Caleb, Emily, and Paige over to help too, but Hanna and Caleb are busy moving, and Emily has been sick with the stomach flu for days now, so she couldn't come either.

Ezra, and Toby come into the room, carrying a white crib covered in plastic wrap. We decided to go with a rustic theme for the boys' nursery. We wanted to keep it nice and simple, yet very classy and modern. We also just recently bought a light washed navy colored area rug to place in the middle of the room to add some color and definition.

"So, have you two decided on names yet?" I ask Aria and Ezra. Aria shakes her head.

"No! Ezra and I are just having the hardest time choosing! There are so many cute names out there, it's so hard to pick just one!"

"For now, we are calling our baby boy, munchkin or little man and our baby girl, princess." Ezra says laughing. Aria, Toby, and I join in.

"So have you started on munchkin, and princess' room yet?" Toby asks setting the crib down. Ezra nods.

"Yeah! The painting is all finished, and the cribs were just shipped here a few days ago!" He says excitedly.

"We have everything we need for the babies' room, we just have to put it all together!" Aria adds with a laugh. "Right now it's in piles in the guest room!"

"Special delivery for the Cavanaugh household!" Hanna calls, entering the room.

"Hanna! What are you doing here?" I ask surprised.

"Well I got really tired of unpacking boxes, so I practically begged Hanna to let us come over here!" Caleb says coming through the doorway. Hanna rolls her eyes and playfully elbows Caleb in the arm.

"Okay, Okay." Caleb admits. "Hanna begged me, but to be fair I wanted to come over just as much!"

"Well either way, I'm really glad you guys are here!" I say smiling. Hanna sets a large package down on the dresser that sits in the middle of the doorway.

"What's that?"I ask her.

"Oh this? It's just a little present for your boys from their Auntie Hanna!" Hanna says smiling.

"Oh Han, you didn't have to do that!" I say gratefully.

"No Spence, I had to. Believe me I had to. I saw it in the store, and I thought, how the hell can I not get this! It's fricken adorable!" Hanna protests.

"Well thank you! I'm sure the babies will love it!" I say putting a hand over my stomach. Hanna grins.

"So what can we help with?" Caleb asks.

"You can give us a hand with the boys' cribs." Toby suggests motioning to the rich chocolate colored crib that was placed in front of him. Caleb nods and joins Ezra and Toby.

"So Hanna, how's the unpacking going?"Aria asks making vertical strokes on the wall with her paint brush.

"Its coming along." Hanna says truthfully.

"It's a bummer Emily couldn't come." Aria says frowning. "She would have loved to help!" I nod my head slowly.

"I know. I was thinking the same thing..."

"That's really too bad that she came down with the stomach flu. Poor thing, she must be miserable!" Aria says with compassionate tone. Hanna frowns.

"It is really too bad..."

"Well hey, once we're done here, lets go over there and cheer her up!" I say. Both girls nod in agreement.

"Lets get back to work then!" Aria says clapping her hands together and picking a wall decor piece up off of the floor.

*A few hours later*

I open the door to my house, and am immediately flooded with warmth. I lean against the wall, and close the door behind me. The crsip autumn air is cold, and I don't want to let it escape into the warmth of the house. I kick off my shoes and slip out of my coat.

"Toby?" I call from the entryway.

"I'm up here!" A muffled voice replies. I quickly try to scramble up the stairs as fast as I can. Being almost six months pregnant with triplets, it's a lot harder to function than it used to be! When I finally reach the top of the stairs, I hear movement in the boys' room, so I peek inside. Toby is putting the finishing touches on the room such as: throw blankets, throw pillows, stuffed animals, and little trinkets to go on the dressers and night stands.

I throw my hand over my mouth and gasp. It's beautiful! The whole room put together makes tears come to my eyes.

"We should open Hanna's gift now." Toby says bringing over the neatly wrapped package. I nod in agreement, and take the package from his hands.
Toby and I kneel side by side on the floor, and I place the strangely shaped package between us. Then Toby and I unwrap it eagerly.

Inside the box there is a little tiny rocking horse, but instead of a horse, it's a little bunny rabbit, similar to the one that Toby and I bought when we first found out we were expecting. Attached to the box there is a small a note that says,
"To our future nephews, Love Auntie Hanna and Uncle Caleb."

Toby takes the rocking bunny across the room and sets it down kiddy corner from the cribs. Then he turns to me.

"What do you think?" he asks smiling. The little rocking bunny is the perfect finishing touch to an already near perfect room.

"I love it!" I say smiling, bigger than I thought I could. Toby smiles back.

"Me too." I walk over to Toby, and give him a hug and a kiss. Once we pull apart he looks me in the eyes.

"There's only one thing missing from this room." He says. A puzzled expression falls over my face. What else could possibly be missing? I think the room looks amazing, and I couldn't ask for anything more. Plus everything on my "must have" list is crossed off...

"What's that?" I ask confused. Toby smiles and places two hands around my baby bump.

"Two little boys to live in it." he says. I lean forward and kiss him on the lips. Toby has given me the best life imaginable, and I am so fortunate to call him mine. I can't believe that in just a few short months, Toby and are going to be welcoming our little babies—the boys, and Bella— into this world. It's crazy, I already love the triplets so much and would do absolutely everything for them, and I haven't even met them yet.
