The Story of Us

Epilogue

2 years later.

"Here comes another one!"

I want to stick my middle finger up at the doctor but I restrain myself when I realize something. Another baby?

Wait a second.

Another.

Fu-

"Triplets?" I turn to Parker in horror and see him already gulping down air. I feel slightly bad for him. But it diminishes when I realize I have been through more pain than him. Little bitch. But I do keep yelling insults in his face from time to time when the pain really hits.

"Are you ready, ma'am?" The doctor ask and I nod. Parker already has my hand in his when the pain starts.

"Ah! Fuck! You son of a bitch! No more kids! You are not putting that thing inside of me unless you are the next one pregnant," I growl at him and see the pure fear in his eyes from my mood.

"O-okay. Sorry, babe," he stutters.

"The head is coming," the nurse to my left announces and I smile falsely. Great the pain has just begun.

~~~

"I didn't mean that stuff you know that right?"

"I know, baby. I know," Parker kisses my nose then, softly, my lips.

"Ma'am? Sir? Are you prepared to see the baby?" A nurse pops her head in and I glance at Parker before nodding my head to the lady. Moments later three nurses come through each one holding a baby with a blanket wrapped around it. One pink. One blue. And one yellow.

"We thought the last one could be a surprise," one nurse explains and I smile and hold out my arms for one of the babies.

I am given the boy and I check under the blanket just to make sure.

"He's handsome," I sniffle and admire this beautiful human being that is mine.

"Pa-" I steal a glance at Parker and I'm about to say his name before I stare into his eyes. He has tears rolling down his cheeks as the baby girl wraps her hand around his pinkie finger. I haven't seen him cry this much since our wedding day.

"She's beautiful," he chokes on his words and I scoot over so he can sit on the bed with me.

"I know," I answer. I don't even have to look at her to know that she is going to grow up stunning.

"Kate."

"What?"

"Let's name her Kate," Parker looks up at me.

"Her middle name can be Marie," I add on.

"And we can call her Katie," he agrees.

"Katie Marie Campano. After your mother," I whisper. I never really loved the name Kate but he persuades me too. And I don't think any other name would be more perfect.

"What about him?" I hold up the baby in my arms and he thinks for a little.

"How about Eric?" I ask.

"Eric. Eric what?" Parker agrees on the name.

"Eric Parker Campano," I grin and so does Parker.

"Yeah. I like that," Parker kisses me quickly and we have the nurses take the babies back.

"Ready for this one?"
