Chapter 1

The alarm clock blasted Gia out of a very happy dream.  She reached one hand out and turned it off.  She stretched lazily before her hand went to her stomach.  She ran her hand gently over her unborn children.

She still couldn't believe that she was going to have triplets in just a few weeks.  It was going to be a big change for her and Jason.  They were going from having two children to having five.  She laughed when she thought about the fact that the ultrasound said that the triplets were going to be girls.  Poor Jason already complained that he was outnumbered and now he was going to be the only male in a family of seven people.

She stretched one more time before throwing back the blanket.  It was a struggle to sit up.  Jason had jokingly told her that she was as big as a house.  She was still trying to sit up when he came in the bedroom carrying a tray.  She looked at him and smiled.

"What's all this?" she asked.

"Can't I make breakfast for my beautiful wife and serve it to her in bed?"

"You could if you knew how to cook," she laughed looking at the food suspiciously.  "Please tell me Mrs. Frederick cooked this."

Jason laughed.  He loved it when she teased him.  It gave him a chance to see her beautiful smile.

"Yes, she made it.  But I carried it up here on the tray myself," he said proudly.

"My hero," Gia said with a smile, as he helped her sit up.

He sat down on the bed next to her and picked up a fork.  Jason scooped up some eggs and held it up for her to eat.  When Gia didn't open her mouth he looked questioningly at her.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm feeding you breakfast."

"Jason, honey," she laughed.  "I know the doctor said I needed to take it easy for the next few weeks, but I can still feed myself."

"Oh, right," he said.  Jason put down the fork and got up.  He began to take her maternity clothes out of the closet so he could help her get dressed.  "How about this?" he asked holding up a green shirt and purple pants.

Gia looked at the outfit and gasped.  She couldn't believe his taste in clothes was that bad, since he always looked so good.  "Um… Jason, why don't you go check on the girls."  She hoped that he didn't see her biting her lip to keep from laughing at his choice.

He nodded and left the room.  Gia couldn't hold her laughter any longer.  She picked up Jason's pillow and buried her face in it so that he couldn't hear her laughing.

When her laughter had finally subsided Gia quickly finished her breakfast.  She managed to swing her feet around and put them on the floor. 

Before she could stand up, she heard the sounds of little feet running down the hall towards her.  "Mommy!  Mommy!" Erika and Kelly yelled as they ran into the room and dove onto the bed next to her.

Gia wrapped her arms around them and gave them a big hug.  She looked up to see Jason standing in the doorway.  He had a big smile on his face.  "What?"

"I'm just thinking how perfect my life has turned out," he said as he walked over to the bed.  He picked the girls up and put them in his lap and put his arm around Gia.  He kissed her cheek.  "And I have you  to thank for it."

Gia smiled.  He was right.  Their life was perfect.  They had two beautiful daughters with three more on the way, but most of all they had each other.
