2 days later
Matt was so excited he finally got to take his girls home and while Gabby was already in the car, he was trying to get all the twins in their car seats. The car was parked right before of the entrance of the hospital as Gabby still couldn't walk far and cars were allowed to stop here to pick up people.
The car behind him honked again and Matt looked up, trying not to look to angry. But was hard getting three babies in their car seats, making sure they were secure. It took just a while and he got the other car was impatient, but he couldn't help but take some time putting the triplets in their seats as he wanted to do it well.
''What is taking so long?'' Gabby asked then.
''Three squirming babies.'' He said then, leaning in the car as he had to put Kylie in the middle seat and finally when he had strapped her in he could fold the pram and take a seat in the driver's seat.
''Time to take you all home.'' He smiled then as he started driving home.
At home she carried one of the babies, him carrying the other two and she took Christon out of the car seat then, wanted to bend down to put him in the crib but let out a gasp then as it hurt the scar and Matt rushed to her, taking Christon from her and putting the boy down in the crib, holding his arm around Gabby then.
''The scar?''
''Yeah.'' She sighed then.
''Well, I will put the babies in the crib from now on.'' He said and kissed her and she nodded.
''It's alright, just hurt for a second.''
They walked out of the nursery and he shrugged.
''Now what?''
''I would like to take a bath.'' She said then, ''So that is what I am going to do.''
''Yeah, let me just help you out.'' He said then and she nodded slowly, even though she wanted to do it herself, everything was still sore and the worst part was the scar, so getting in and out of clothes was hard.
''It's great that you are so awesome at undressing me.'' She smirked then as carefully got her shirt off.
''Years and years of training.'' He said very serious, but smiling then and she laughed.
''My mom called earlier if she had to stay over tonight to look after the babies?''
''I think we will manage.'' He said as he helped her step out of the sweatpants.
''I think your scar is healing up nicely.'' He said then as it wasn't bleeding anymore.
''It's ugly.'' She sighed then. The C-section scar was still red, but with the stitches out she was so glad she could take a bath.
''Are you kidding me? It's not.'' He said then as he took her hands and helped her sit down, knew it was still sore and painful.
''Matt don't lie.'' She said as he helped her sit down in the water.
''I am not lying. My mom thought me not to lie.'' He said as he washed her back and she smiled.
''I know...I mean...I don't mind the scar...it's just from the triplets birth.'' She said, ''I just feel saggy and with the stretch marks...I can't wait to start working out to get fit again.''
''Well you know I think you are beautiful in any way. Stretch marks, scars...however you look.''
She smiled as he was so sweet.
''I am going to check on the babies, you lay back and enjoy your bath.'' He said then and she nodded. He walked to the nursery and saw the boys were asleep, Kylie squirming and awake and he carefully picked her up, laid her against his chest, softly caressing her over her head and tried to calm the girl down. She fell asleep against him and he laid her back, but as he wanted to get up to go back to Gabby, Christon cried and he raced to the crib, trying to pick the boy up before he would wake up his brother and sister but soon enough they were crying as well and he was trying to comfort 3 babies.
After 15 minutes of trying to get all the babies calmed down and back asleep, he walked back to the bathroom then.
''That took a while.'' She smirked, ''not that I minded though.''
''When one starts to cry it's a disaster waiting to happen.''
''Yeah, they are lucky they are cute.'' Gabby said as Matt helped her up and dried her back as she tried to do as much as she could herself.
He helped her in some pajamas and they walked to the living room then, Gabby sitting down while Matt ordered food for the both of them.
''Do you still want to ask my mom to come help us out?''
''No, we should be fine. I don't know, I spend away from you and the babies and I would like it to be just us tonight. We can look after the triplets, I am sure.'' He said but as she nodded he could also see she didn't really agree.
''Well we could ask your mom if that is what you want.'' He said concerned then.
''No, it is fine.'' She said then.
''Gabby, I can see you don't agree.'' He said concerned.
''I- I- it is just that I can't really take care of the babies tonight. I mean, I can't lift them out of the crib and carry them to the bedroom to feed them -''
''So I will do that. I prefer walking a couple of times there tonight over having your mom here. I like your mom but I also like to look after our babies ourselves. I will do it, I promise. Just you and me tonight, okay?'' He said then and finally she nodded.
''I don't want to go against your wishes though if you want your mom here tonight, just say so.'' He said then but she shook her head then.
''No, it is fine. You are right.'' She smiled and he kissed her, going to his car then to pick up the food.
Suddenly she heard a soft cry from the nursery and got up, walked towards the nursery. Aaron was crying now and she wanted to lift him up, but knew it would hurt. But then she also didn't want the other babies to wake up and quick she lifted him up, walking out of the nursery, trying to ignore the pain in her stomach and she walked to the couch then, holding the boy in her arms and trying shush him but suddenly she just broke down herself, sobbing uncontrollably.
The front door opened and Matt walked in, almost dropping the food then and sitting down beside her, concerned.
''What is wrong?'' He asked concerned as he barely ever saw his wife cry.
''It's all just so much.'' She sobbed, burying her face in his neck and sobbing. He rubbed over her back, making sure Aaron was okay in her arms.
''it is a lot...I know.''
''I just feel sore and ugly. And I can't even lift up the babies properly.'' She cried.
''You are not ugly...and I am sorry you are sore and I wasn't here. Give it just a few days and you will be able to lift them p and everything will be better, I promise. Just give yourself some time to recover and you are already an amazing mommy.'' He said softly.
''I am sorry I made your body hurt even more.''
''Hey, it is not your fault.'' She said then, ''You just weren't here for a minute.''
''Well you are right, we should have called your mom.'' He said then but she shrugged.
''Well we are going to bed soon so I guess you are not leaving again.''
''True.'' He said then and he took Aaron from her and put her in bed, plating up their food then and they had dinner together, but both of them almost too tired to eat.
After dinner they laid down in bed, tired but so happy to be home again together and he had her in his arms as they fell asleep.
Barely a few hours later they were woken up by the three babies crying.
''I will go get them and get the bottles ready.'' Matt said as he got up out of bed, feeling so tired. After getting the boys and bringing them to Gabby he took Kylie and walked to the kitchen with her.
He held Kylie against him with his arm while preparing the first bottle and bringing her and the bottle to Gabby then. She was so tired and had to try not to fall asleep while he was preparing the other two bottles with formula. It had looked so easy to wake up in the middle of the night for the babies but with taking them home and the hectic last few days with the hospital it was harder than expected.
Gabby was feeding Christon with the first bottle, the other two babies laying right beside her and Matt joined her then, putting one bottle on her nightstand and feeding Aaron then. He tried not to fall asleep and he saw that Gabby was struggling too.
''We should have let my mom stay.'' She mumbled then.
''Yeah, but we also should take care of our own babies.''
''My mom doesn't mind helping.''
''I know, but I don't like asking for help.'' He said and they were quiet for a minute. Gabby wanted to snap but also didn't want to get angry with him. The problem was that they were both tired and that made them angry, but they didn't want to snap at each other. Way later they finished feeding the babies and tired Matt lifted them up again, making two trips.
Matt put all the babies back in their cribs and walked to the bed then, so tired.
''I am sorry about what I said.'' He said then, ''I know you like having your mom around and you are right, with you still in pain and recovering, your mom helping out would be very helpful.''
''Well, I know you like doing things yourself and that you don't like agreeing people to help and I should respect that too. It is not that I don't think you can do it but I also don't want you to get upset or stressed.''
They kissed and she sighed.
''I need to go to the bathroom but I am too tired and sore.''
''Well, I am sure I can fix that.'' He said softly as he took her in his arms then and lifted her up, carrying her to the ensuite.
''Matt, you were so tired too!'' She sighed then.
''Well I promised to take care for you.'' He said then as he put her down, making sure she alright and carrying her back to the bed then and cuddling up with her again.
''I love you...and even though it won't be easy with three babies, we are going to manage, I am sure.'' He said then and she smiled.
''Our big little family.'' She smirked as she cuddled up with him again.
''Yeah, and now sleep.'' He said softly but before even closing his eyes, one of the babies cried.
NOTE: The family is home now but dealing with three babies won't be easy, even if they are confident!
