**RATLIFF'S POV**
(((Dream sequence from Ratliff's point of view)))
I was at the Lynch's house. Christmas at the Lynch's. But wait...who are these other people? Why does everyone look old? Riker had his arm around this girl with long, dark hair and brown eyes to match. Rocky also was standing next to someone unfamiliar, she had a short bleached bob, and her eyes were the color of a storm in the middle of Summer. Ross appeared to be with Maia, or at least a less young version of her, and Ryland was obviously with Savannah. No one can deny that wouldn't happen. But a question was left running amuck in my head. Where's Rydel?
"EVERYONE LINE UP!" Stormie shouted. Except it was quieter. And she had a pink bedazzled cane.
A ton of kids lined up, and Rydel came out from the kitchen, carrying a little brunette boy and another baby, but the baby was in her stomach looking like there was more than one. More than 2, also. Was there more than one? Who was the father? She stood next to me and smiled.
Then I realized. Why would I be at the LYNCH'S Christmas? I'm the father of the little boy, the kids in Rydel's tummy, and another, a little girl that looked exactly like Rydel. I'm guessing I'm also the father of her. What was her name? What was the boys name? Why am I dreaming about this?
Stormie started handing gifts to the kids to give to the parents. The oldest child was Ross', a tall boy named River, then the next child in line was also a spawn of Ross, named Raine, and the next one was also an obviously Mitchell-Lynch, another boy named Rio. I wasn't surprised with the water names. Ross had 3 kids out of the 11. Rydel and my daughter was next, who we ended up naming Eloise. Rocky only had one child, a boy named Dustin. Riker and his wife had twin boys younger than Dustin, Ryder and Reese, trouble makers, poking each other and wrestling when I first started dreaming. The child after that was me and Rydel's current youngest, Emery. The last in line were Riker's little girls, Rylee and Rachael, the last one was Ryland and Savannah's baby, who had his name printed on his T-shirt, Brighton. That's a lot of names to keep up with, god bless Stormie and Mark. And then I saw that Rocky was holding a baby-baby, like newborn, who's name I eventually found out, was Kendall.
Me and Rydel sat down on the couch, and we opened Eloise and Emery's gifts. They were mugs, with our kids names on them. There was 3 empty spaces on it. Oh, god, please don't tell me. Triplets.
"I left some blank space on your cup for the newbies." Stormie laughed. "And Rocky, when I got the cups I didn't know what you were gonna name Kendall, so there's a blank space on your mug too. When you leave, I'll take the mug back to get her name on it."
"Okay everyone, we got an announcement!" Rydel spoke loudly. Announcement? What announcement? Suddenly, I started speaking words that I hope will never come out of my mouth. Ever.
"We found out the genders of the triplets! They're all girls." And just like that, I woke up.
I'm not sure if that was a dream, or a nightmare.
