It was another peaceful morning in the swamp. But Shrek was worried. Fiona had gone to the doctor's because she felt something move in her stomach. It was also Felicia, their daughter's birthday. Sweat was dripping down the father's face as crazy thoughts ran through his head. He then saw his eldest son Meatballs now five years old walk into the room as Shrek was making breakfast. "Morning Daddy. Where's Mommy?" he said to him as he sat at the table. "Mommy had to go see the doctor because she had a tummy ache. She'll be back soon for your sister's birthday." Shrek told him smiling. He then watched as his son ate oatmeal quietly. "Where's your brother?" he said to Meatballs. "He's still asleep as well as Her Highness." Meatballs told him. Shrek laughed at that. "Yeah I know that but they're family. " he told him. Suddenly he saw Donkey burst in followed by the Dronkeys. "Hey Uncle Donkey! What're you doing here?" Meatballs said as he drank milk. "I decided to drop in." he told him. He smiled as the Dronkeys followed Meatballs into the bedroom he shared with his brother and sister. "What're you doing?" Brianna the eldest of the five said. "We're gonna wake up Felicia and Spam. I need you to use your fire to wake them up." He explained. Brianna and her siblings chuckled softly at Meatball's plan. They then started to blow fire gently on Spam and Felicia's blankets. Spam smelled the smoke and woke up at once. "Fire!" he yelled worried. "Fire? Where?" Felicia asked as she jumped out of bed. Meatballs rolled on the floor in laughter. "Good morning guys!" he said to them. Spam wasn't happy at this. "Meatballs! You're such a jerk!" Felicia said annoyed as she and Spam went into the kitchen. "Daddy why does Meatballs have to do weird things like fake a fire just to wake me and Spam up?" Felicia asked Shrek as they sat at the table. He was about to explain when Fiona came through the door.
"Mommy!" Felicia said as she ran into her arms and hugged her. Fiona smiled at that. "Morning honey. Happy Birthday." Fiona told her as she put something around her neck. It was a locket. Shrek saw worry in his wife's eyes. She seemed like she had something important to tell him. "Guys why don't you go play while Mommy and I talk." Shrek told Felicia and Spam. "Okay." Spam said as he and his sister ran off. "W…What did the doctor say? Please honey you can tell me anything." Shrek said to her. "We're going to be blessed with another two bundles of joy." She told him calmly. "Really?" Shrek told her. "Really, Really. But I'm worried about this. I don't know how the kids are going to take this. I'm not telling them yet until they can understand." Fiona replied as they hugged. "That's so good to know honey. Our house will be filled with more love than ever once the twins arrive." He said as they kissed.
They watched as the kids were playing with the Dronkeys. She then saw Donkey approach her. "Wow! I'm happy for you guys expecting more bundles of joy." He told them. "Thanks Donkey but you…" Fiona said to him. "You what?" he asked her. "You can't tell the triplets about this yet. I don't know how they'll take it. That's why, okay?" she explained. He nodded understandingly.
But Fiona was having second thoughts about her decision. She then walked outside. The kids were playing ball with Brianna and her siblings. "Hey Mommy. What's wrong?" Spam said to her. "Nothing's wrong honey. I just have to tell you and your brother and sister something." She told him. "What is it?" Meatballs asked curiously. "In a while you're going to have either a new brother and sister or sisters. That's why I went to the doctor's." she told them. They were pretty excited. They bombarded her with questions but stopped them. She then went back inside. "That's great news guys! Now you're gonna have more kids to play with as well as us." Marco, Brianna's younger brother told them.
"Yeah it's fun but say goodbye to Mom and Dad." Alex, Marco's brother said. This worried the three triplets greatly. "Are they gonna leave us?" Felicia asked worriedly. "No but once the new babies get here, they'll forget all about you, Meatballs and Spam. They'll want to be with the new babies all the time and not listen to you." He explained. It looked like they were about to cry. Later they calmed down after talking to Puss. But a few nights after, Fiona felt something break. Shrek then felt himself being shook awake. "Honey!" Fiona said to him. "What is it?" he asked. "It's time for the kids to join the family." She said. He then snapped awake and helped her into the onion carriage. Puss was looking after the triplets for them until they got back.
They then arrived at the hospital. It was early dawn when there was crying come from the delivery suite and ran in. He saw Fiona holding two babies in her arms but the nurse put a third one in his arms. That shocked Shrek. " We have more triplets?" he said to Fiona. She nodded wearily. "That's great!" he told her as they kissed and the babies tugged a little on his ears.
He hoped the kids could get along with their new siblings or they were doomed….
