Chapter 7
"Ash, I have something to tell you" Dawn said, walking into the living room
"What is it, dear?" Ash asked
"I went to the doctors' today and it seems we're going to be having triplets" Dawn stated
"Triplets, but, how?" Ash asked
"I don't know how. But, that's what the doctor said, "I've been worried about this and I needed to tell you" Dawn replied
"Well, I guess will need to get ready for their arrival" Ash replied
"Ash, it's not for 6 months!" Dawn replied
"Ash, are you awake?" Dawn asked
"What's wrong Dawn?" Ash replied, eyes half closed
"I can't sleep" Dawn replied
"Why can't you sleep, Dawn" Ash asked
"Why? I'll tell you why!" Dawn replied, poking her swollen stomach repedatly
"The babies won't stop kicking?" Ash replied, getting up to face Dawn. He put a hand to her stomach and felt one hard kick
"They're really kicking hard!" Ash said
"No duh! You'd think I'd make something like this up?" Dawn replied, in a slightly exsausted tone
"Dawn, sweetheart, please calm down" Ash replied, calmly
"I'll calm down when they let me have some sleep!" Dawn replied, directing her voice to her large, swollen belly. Ash chuckled slightly
"Do you ever wonder what the sex of the babies will be?" Ash asked
"Well, since we're having triplets, I'd like 2 girls and a boy. But, if we get two boys and one girl, I'll be happy. As long as we have a girl, that's fine with me" Dawn replied, "You?"
"I don't really care. I just hope they'll be happy and healthy" Ash said
"If I got this correct, my due date should be late May-early June at the latest" Dawn stated
"And don't you worry. I'll be behind you every step of the way. After all, you are having my children" Ash said. Dawn laid her head to rest on Ash's shoulders
"Well, this house is in a good location. I mean the elementary school is right down the road. The local park is right around the corner. Not to mention, the supermarket is down the main street, a couple of blocks from the house" Ash stated
"Not to mention the backyard was perfect for the after-wedding party" Dawn replied
"Though of any names yet?" Ash asked
"No, it's too early. We don't know yet they're genders yet" Dawn replied
"Oh, right" Ash replied, quietly
"I do go for my check-up tomorrow in which I'll find out what they're genders will be" Dawn replied
"You do realize that we'll need to paint the rooms, put stuff in the room, buy a minivan, spend a lot of money on food, and-" Ash said before Dawn gave him a kiss
"Now, Ash, that's why we've been working really hard the last few weeks, to support the babies!" Dawn replied
"But, Dawn. You're due date isn't for 4 more months" Ash replied
"I know that. But, the more money we have, the easier our lives will be" Dawn continued
"Sure, and we'll get woken up at 1 in the morning every night for the first few weeks or so" Ash replied
"Ash, sweetie, we've tackled tougher challenges than this. I'm sure we can handle raising three babies" Dawn replied
"I know Dawn? But, Dawn?" Ash replied, before moving his eyes to Dawn. Dawn was asleep, her head nuzzled into Ash's chest
"'Night, Dawn" Ash said, softly, giving Dawn a kiss on the cheek. And with that, Ash turned off the lamp and went to sleep
