Scars Left Untold

Out Numbered

*the next day back at Bella and Jacks home*

"How are we going to do this?" I ask him sitting down on the couch next to him.

"Honestly? I have no clue. But we'll figure this out." He tells me taking my hand.

We lay there on the couch and I lay my head on his shoulder, having no idea how we'll do this.

"Why don't we go get lunch and try and figure this all out?" He suggests after a few minutes.

"Sure." I respond patting his knee as I stand up. 

"I'll run upstairs and grab my keys." He says standing up much quicker than I did.

I grab my phone off the kitchen counter and head to the front door. Moments later, Jack comes running down the stairs and I chuckle knowing that i can't do that any more. Or at least for the next few months. 

"Ready?" He asks as he opens the door for me.

"For lunch or four kids?" I ask him ask i walk through the door.

"Lunch. For starters." He replies with a nervous chuckle as he locks the door behind us. We make our way to the car and get in. Sooner or later we've made it to the restaurant about 15 minutes away from our house. 

We sit down at a table and look through a menu. When I put my menu down I find Jack staring at the table.

"Are you okay?" I ask him.

"Uh, yeah. I'm just worried." He says looking up at me.

"What about?" I ask playing with the ring on my finger.

"Well, I looked up risks of triplets and it's really high." He says letting out a deep breath. "The babies would most likely be born prematurely, it's high risk for you. A-And not even triplet related we only have a three bedroom house, we'd probably have to move." 

Before he could continue any farther, I cut him off. "Jack, it will be okay. If anything, I don't think we need to move for now. Until we know the gender of the babies, but that's a battle we'll face in a few months time. As for the pregnancy being high risk, I'll sleep on the couch and won't bother with the stairs. Everything will work out okay." I say all at once. I take his hands over the table.

"I know, I just...this is not how I expected any of this to go." He tells me putting his head down.

"I didn't either, but we'll make it through this." I say squeezing his hands. He looks back up at me and I smile. He smiles back at me and I know that even though we might be out numbered, that we'll be able to do this.
