"Hurry up and eat, we need to get our kids." Henry barks at me and I just roll my eyes and finish eating. Every time I think something nice he opens that damn awful mouth of his. I take one last look at my outfit and I think it's pretty good. I check my phone to see it is 8:35 am. I gulp down my orange juice and so does Henry. 

"Meet you by the door." He says as he takes my dishes to the sink. I take one last look at my outfit and I think it's pretty good. I put on my heels and grab a hat. I try it on and decide to go without it. 

"Wear the hat

"Wear the hat." Henry mutters as he arrives at the door, I put the hat back on and we leave. We arrive in the lobby and receive directions to the adoption center which is 15 minutes away. We also get car keys and we search briefly for our car which just so happens to be a 2017 Ebony Twilight Metallic GMC Acadia. We just get in the car and Henry starts it up. 

"So are we taking the fourth kid?" I ask Henry once he starts driving. 

"Obviously, they deserve to know they have a brother." Henry comments.

"We'll be a family of 6. We'll have to get car seats and I think we should make it so that each time we go out the boys rotate ; 1 sit next to the baby and the other two in the back row." I say.

"That's fine did you happen to ask if they were identical?" Henry questions. 

"Dammit, no I didn't. I guess we'll be finding out." I respond and then we're silent. We arrive at the adoption center at exactly 8:55 am. We park and get out and instantly I spot Jasper and Chloe walking out with their kids. They have a boy and girl who look to be about 3 and 1 respectively. The girl is on Chloe's hip and the boy on Jasper's back. They're walking to their car, car seats in hand.

"Hey guys!" I call out to them and Henry just goes inside. 

"Kids its Aunty Charlotte!" Jasper says and the kids cheer. I wave at their family and they all wave back. 

"See you guys later!" I call to them. I notice them get into a regular 5 passenger car, a Ford Fusion if I'm not mistaken. I'll check later. I walk inside and spot Henry talking to a lady. I join them. 

"You must be the partner." The lady smiles at me and I nod.  

"Sure am, what'd I miss?" I ask. 

"I just told Henry we're waiting for the kids to be brought out." The lady says.

"Okay um we heard the boys have a little brother, is it possible we can take him?" I ask. The lady looks at me shocked. 

"If you are both sure then yes you can. I wouldn't advise telling the triplets that but I'm not the parents you guys are so." She trails off and then walks off to a phone. After her phone call she returns to us. 

"They'll be here in 5 minutes, if you want you can choose car seats for all the kids now and put them in your car." She informs us.

"I'll do it." Henry says and walks off in the direction the lady points to. Once he's gone she gives me a very stern look.
