*ENJOY THIS CHAPTER AND SAVOR EVERY MOMENT. YOU'LL LOVE IT!

I have learned in life there are some days where you're more blessed than others. I would say that a couple weeks after Christmas and a couple days before I would start my first round of chemo was definitely one of those days. Roman and I went to the doctor with Jordyn and Seth for the ultrasound to make sure everything was going all right with her pregnancy and our baby. I had been in constant contact with Jordyn since she told me that she was pregnant. She had been experiencing the morning sickness as bad as it could possibly get. She told me there were days she couldn't even get out of bed because it was so bad and days where she spent time in the bathroom. I felt bad for her even when I was pregnant with Lia and Leilani and then with Joe as well as the babies that had become angels I was sick but not that sick. She was really taking the pregnancy hard and then the week before we went to the ultrasound she swore she was starting to show. I thought it was just her imagination but sure enough when I saw her the morning of the ultrasound she was definitely showing. I had never known anyone to start to show that early in pregnancy like she had. She claimed she never showed until she was at least 10 weeks with Jonah and Meilani. It made me wonder how her being pregnant with our baby could be so different on her body. "Are you two excited?" asked Jordyn as we sat in the waiting room.

"Yeah very," I said with a smile. "I can't wait to see our little bean on the screen. I can't wait till we meet it."

"I'm happy for you," said Jordyn with a smile. "You two deserve this," she said before we were called to the back. Roman took my hand as we walked behind Jordyn and Seth. Roman and I had grown closer since Christmas night. He had seen me at my worst but still loved me anyway. He made me feel like a woman again and made me feel beautiful again. He was there when I needed him most even if I didn't tell him. He just knew.

We got to the back and the nurse asked Jordyn some questions about how she was feeling and if she had been experiencing any cramping. I was relieved when she told her no because I knew more than anyone cramping was NOT a good sign. The nurse gave Jordyn a gown to put on before she left the room and told us the doctor would be in shortly to do the ultrasound and he would be able to determine a due date by the baby's measurement. I already knew to expect the baby late August or early September given the time we had our embryos transferred. I was anxious about the ultrasound and I could tell Roman was too. He held my hand tightly as we waited for the doctor to enter. He took my hand and kissed it softly as I looked at him with a smile. There was a knock on the door. "Come in," said Jordyn before the doctor made his way into the room.

"How is everyone today?" he asked.

"Good," I said with a smile.

"I am having a good day," said Jordyn with a smile. "Usually I am sick in bed."

"Bad morning sickness?" he asked.

"The worst," she answered.

"You should be able to get some medicine to help with that if it's so bad."

"I already do," said Jordyn, "it doesn't help. This baby doesn't like anything I eat or anything I smell. It lets me know constantly."

"I will see what I can do about that," he said as he sanitized his hands. "So Roman and Tayla as you know one of your embryos has stuck to her uterine wall. I'm not sure how many but this ultrasound is to determine the number and to determine when to expect your baby. I would assume the end of August or the beginning of September for a due date but I will know better once I do the ultrasound. Okay?"

"Okay," I said with a smile. I couldn't help but to smile I was so happy and I had a really good feeling about this. I knew something good was going to come of this whole thing.

"All right, Jordyn," said the doctor. "I just need you to lie back onto the table. I am going to do an internal ultrasound to get a better measurement of the baby. Okay?"

"Okay," she said as I took one of her hands and Seth took the other one.

"It's going to be uncomfortable at first but I promise it won't hurt."

"I've had it done before," she said, "I'm all right," she said as she watched the doctor prep the Doppler for the ultrasound as he turned on the machine. I had butterflies in my stomach and I felt Roman squeeze my hand as he stood up with me. I watched as the doctor put the condom looking cover onto the wand before he inserted it into Jordyn.

She cringed a little and squeezed my hand as the doctor moved it around. He looked on the screen and hadn't found the baby yet. I was starting to get nervous. It wasn't possible to get a false positive. She had to be pregnant but where was the baby. The doctor moved the wand a little more and I couldn't look at the screen. "Oh boy," said the doctor. It was an oh boy of surprise.

I looked up on the screen and saw three circles and before I said anything Roman said, "what is that? What is that?" he asked.

"Oh boy," said the doctor. "Oh boy," he said once again. I looked down at Jordyn and she looked at me. We both knew what was happening. She smiled at me and I smiled at her. "I didn't expect this," he said.

"You didn't expect what?" asked Roman, "and stop saying Oh boy, what is going on? What is with the three circles?"

"Well," the doctor said, "I can tell you that Baby A is doing fine, Baby B is doing fine and Baby C is doing fine."

"Baby A, Baby B and Baby C?" asked Roman as his voice cracked. "There's three of them?"

"Yes, Roman," he said. "It looks like all three embryos stuck none of them didn't."

"All 3 stuck," said Roman as I looked at him. He had sweat pouring from his head. He was nervous. "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"

"That Jordyn is pregnant with Triplets," said the doctor, "yes you and Tayla are having triplets. I would say that Jordyn is about 6 ½ weeks pregnant and we're looking at August 31 for a due date."

"Triplets," said Roman as I heard the dryness in his voice. "Triplets?" he asked. "Triplets," he said once more before he crashed down to the floor. Roman literally passed out at the news I on the other hand was excited. Jordyn and I looked down at Roman as Seth rounded over to the side we were standing on.

"Roman," I said as I got down to the floor. I started to shake him but he wouldn't move. "Roman," I said again. "Wake up."

"Dude is he okay?" asked Seth as he got down with me.

"I think the shock of triplets was too much for him," I said with a smile.

"It is shocking news," said Seth as he shook Roman with me. "Roman, come on Uce wake up."

"Roman," I said as I slapped him across the face. "Wake up!" He didn't wake up. "Seth, give me your water."

"Okay," he said as he handed me his water.

I splashed the cold water onto Roman's face as an attempt to wake him up. "Get up, Baby" I said. Roman's eyes flickered open and he was looking at me with his beautiful blue eyes. "Hey," I said with a smile.

"Hi," he said as he looked at me so sweetly and innocently. He was beautiful. I smiled down at him as he kept looking at me. "Did he say we were having triplets?"

"Yes, Baby," I said with a smile. "He said we're having triplets."

"Oh my god," he said, "Oh my god," he said as he sat up. "Is this for real?"

"See for yourself, Roman," said the doctor as he pointed to the screen to show Roman that there were three separate amniotic sacs on the screen.

ROMAN's POINT OF VIEW:

I sat on the floor staring up at the ultrasound screen as Tayla knelt beside me holding onto my arm. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. There were three amniotic sacs on the screen. I expected one baby maybe even two babies but THREE babies I went into shock. The moment I heard triplets my legs became rubber and my mouth became dry. I passed out it was so shocking to me. Triplets was a big deal for Tayla and me especially with everything that we were about to face. I let out a nervous laugh as Tayla and Seth helped me up off the floor. "Triplets," I said, "Tayla, we're having triplets."

"Baby, I know," she said with her beautiful smile. She looked at me and she was more beautiful than she had ever been. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I said as I wrapped my arms around her. "I'm just shocked. I didn't think all three would actually stick. I'm happy," I said, "scared but happy."

"I'm scared too," said Tayla, "but we will be able to do this. I mean if Jordyn is okay with carrying all three?" she asked looking over at Jordyn.

"I'm fine with it," she said, "I'm scared but I'm cool with it. So is everything all right with the babies?" she asked the doctor.

"Everything looks good," he said, "but Roman and Tayla if you want to do reduction we can do that."

"You mean like kill the babies?" I asked as I wrapped my arm around Tayla.

"I prefer the term reduce the number of babies," he said, "not kill the babies."

"But it is killing the babies," I said, "they are still human whether they are 6 ½ weeks or 40 weeks they are a living creature. I'm not into the reduction thing. I'm saying no. Is it going to be bad if we don't?"

"No it won't be bad," he said, "it might just be the best way to go."

"No," I said, "it's not the best way to go. We want the babies. We want all three of the babies. I'm saying no to the reduction. We wanted to have another baby and God gave us 3 and he did it for a reason so we're going to trust him that he knows what he is doing."

"I agree with my husband," I said Tayla as she looked at me with a smile and then back at the doctor. "I'm not going to tell you to reduce the number of babies. You have NO idea what all we have gone through when it has come to having kids. I had to go through two miscarriages, one still birth, one premature birth, a normal pregnancy and then miscarried when my cyst ruptured. Then I was told I couldn't have kids ever again. If God gave us 3 babies he gave us three babies because he wants us to have three babies. I have learned he does things the way he plans not the way we planned it. No reduction," she said and I wrapped my arms around her so tightly just to hold her in my arms. "Roman," she said, "I can't breathe."

"Sorry, Baby Girl," I said with a smile. "I'm just so happy right now."

"Me too," she said with a smile before she pressed her lips against mine. Life has a funny way of working out some times. I never expected to have triplets but apparently it was what was supposed to happen. I was feeling extremely blessed. The doctor didn't push anymore of the reduction talk onto us and accepted our decision to allow all three babies to remain inside of Jordyn. Jordyn was a saint for carrying our triplets for us. She could have fought us and our decision but she didn't. She was willing to do whatever we wanted. That is a best friend if I ever saw one. I will forever be grateful for Jordyn being our surrogate and carrying not one but three babies for us. It was absolutely amazing. I couldn't wait but I was scared to death at what it would all mean in the future but life was surely beautiful at that moment. One of the biggest blessings Tayla and I have gotten in a long time.

Later that evening my parents were coming over for dinner and Tayla's parents were up from Tampa because they wanted to be in Pensacola to help us out as much as they could since Tayla was just a couple days away from starting chemo. They had recently talked about moving back to Pensacola to be closer to us and our family. I wouldn't mind if they did move back to Pensacola. I know Tiana and I haven't had the best relationship but since about 6 years ago she has become one of my favorite people. I love her to death and she is a great grandma to the kids. They love her and Tayla loves her mom very much. We were having dinner and planned on telling them the news. Even the kids didn't know that we were having triplets so that would be a surprise for them. Ever since we told them that there was going to be another Reigns joining the family they were excited. Joe of course was hoping for a brother so he would no longer be the only boy. I didn't blame him at all. I couldn't imagine growing up with all sisters. That would have sucked. I am glad I had at least one brother. Our dinner with our parents went very well. It amazes me how far we have come as a family. There was a time when Tayla's family and my family were separate but now we were all one big happy family. I loved it. Once I cleared the table and put the dishes into the dishwasher Tay and I sat our family down to tell them the news. "So," said Tayla as she sat next to me on the couch holding Joe on her lap as I held Leilani on mine and Lia was being held by Pops. "We have some news for you," she said with a smile.

"Is it about your cancer?" asked Tiana, "you don't have to get chemo?"

"It's not about cancer," said Tayla, "it actually has nothing to do with my cancer. It's happier news."

"Okay," said my mom. "What's the good news?"

"I know," said Lia as she raised her hand. "I know the good news, Nana."

"What is it?" asked my mom.

"Can I tell her, Daddy?" asked Lia with so much excitement it makes me smile. "Can I?"

"I want to tell her," said Leilani as she looked at me. "Can I tell her, Daddy?"

"What about me?" asked Joe. "I want to tell her."

"Why don't you all tell her?" asked Tayla with a smile. "I'll count to three then you all can say it together."

"Okay," said Leilani as the other two nodded in agreement.

"All right," said Tayla, "1, 2,3!"

"WE'RE GETTING A BABY SISTER OR BROTHER!" they yelled together with excitement.

"I'm confused," said Pops. "I thought you two couldn't have any more children. Are you adopting?"

"We're not adopting," I said with a smile. "We had some embryos frozen a while back after Tay lost her ovary. We hoped one day to use them. Before Tayla got sick we were talking about having another baby but we were going to go the adoption route but then we decided to use the embryos we had frozen so we found a surrogate to carry our baby for us and we had three embryos transferred about 4 ½ weeks ago."

"And an embryo stuck?" asked Tiana.

"Not exactly one embryo," said Tayla as she bit her lip. "More like all three embryos stuck."

"Does that mean what I think it means?" asked my mom.

"That we're having triplets?" I asked.

"Yeah, you two are having triplets?" asked Tiana.

"Yes," I said with a smile, "we're having three babies."

"THREE?" asked Leilani. "This is the best day of my life! There is one for each of us!"

"You're right," I said with a smile as I kissed the top of her head. "Good job with your math."

"Thank-you, Daddy," she said with a proud smile. She looked so much like Tayla it was amazing. She was beautiful.

"You're welcome," I said.

"Do you think that's a good idea?" asked Miguel. "With Tayla being sick do you think it's a good idea?"

"Yes, Dad we do," said Tayla. "We feel it gives us extra hope and it gives me another reason to fight. There is no better time to do this than now. And it's too late now. They are coming August 31," she said.

"Well, I am happy for you," said Tiana.

"Me too," said my mom. "This is such a blessing. You two deserve this more than anyone. You two are going to head down a really long road but at the end of it you have something so marvelous to look forward to. Congratulations," she said with a smile.

"Thank-you," I said with a smile.

"So they are your creation?" asked Pops. "I mean yours and Tayla's DNA?"

"Yes, Pops," I said, "they were made from Tayla's eggs and my sperm."

"Daddy, what's sperm?" asked Leilani. My heart dropped at her question. I had no idea how to answer that. "And where do babies come from? If Mama's babies aren't in her tummy where are they? And how do they get here?"

I felt Tayla's eyes on me and everyone was looking at me waiting for me to answer her question. I wasn't sure how to answer it. "Lei, how about we talk about that another time?"

"Okay," she said, "but I won't forget."

"I'm sure you won't," I said. The girl had an excellent memory just like her mom. I knew she wouldn't forget but I had time to come up with an answer before she asked the question again. I am not good at on the spot answers such as that one and to make it 6 year old appropriate. I needed to come up with something good that would make her never ask the question again until Tayla was ready to talk to her about that stuff when she was older. Preferably when she was married which wouldn't be till she was 35. I needed the triplets to be all boys so I had extra hands in fighting off the boys when it came to Lia and Leilani. Joe and I can't do it alone.

"Well, we are very happy for you," said Pops. "I love when our family keeps growing. You two already have such a beautiful family and I know the triplets are going to be just as beautiful. Congratulations and Tayla, you better fight hard to see those babies."

"I plan to," she said with a smile. "Thank-you."

"You're welcome," he said with a smile.

Later that night after we showed them the ultrasound pictures to prove that there were three babies inside of Jordyn and Tayla's mom and my mom both awed over the babies my parents left, Tayla's parents went up to the guest room while Tayla and I put the kids to bed. I was exhausted and I knew Tayla was too. It had been a long and exciting day for us. I was still in shock over the news as Tayla and I got into bed together. "What's wrong?" I asked her as I read the look on her face. Something was bothering her.

"Nothing it's just I'm scared," she said.

"About what?" I asked.

"The chemo," she said, "each day it gets closer the more scared I get. I don't think I'm ready to go through it. I'm not ready to be sick all the time and I'm not ready to lose my hair. I'm not ready for this."

"I'm scared too but you know what I am going to be there with you. I am going to sit with you all day and just be there with you," I said. "You're not going through it alone. I know it's going to be tough but I am going to be there."

"I know you will be," she said with a small smile. "You're always there when I need you. Thank-you."

"You don't have to thank me it's what I'm supposed to do as your husband. I am supposed to be there for you when you need me and I'm supposed to love you with all my heart. I am supposed to be your strength when you're weak and I'm supposed to be your rock in hard times. I'm not going anywhere Tay. I am going to be here every step of the way. Don't be scared. Chemo is going to make you better. It's going to be hell being sick and losing your hair but in the end it will all be worth it. I would rather see you lose your hair than lose your life, Tay. I don't think I could be able to live without you. And I know the kids wouldn't be able to live without you."

"I know," she said, "and that's why I want to fight as hard as I can but I'm just scared with the whole chemo thing. I heard it can be really bad."

"It's okay to be scared. Everyone gets scared of something at some point in their lives. It's okay. You don't have to be scared. I'm here."

"I know," she said with a smile. "I like when you're here for me."

"I like being here for you too," I said with a smile as I leaned down and kissed her lips softly. "I love you, Tay."

"I love you too," she said. "Roman?"

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Can you just hold me tonight? You know just hold me in your arms?"

"Of course I can," I said with a smile, "Come here. I will hold you whenever you want me to."

"Thanks," she said with a smile as she moved her body closer to mine as I reached up to turn off the light before I wrapped my arms around her and held her close to me. "Roman," she said.

"Yeah?" I asked with my eyes closed as my chin rested on her shoulder.

"You're the best husband and father in the world."

"No I'm not," I said, "I just love you and the kids. I always will. I'm not the best. I'm just loving you the best I can."

"I know," she said, "but I am glad I chose you to live the rest of my life with. Even if we had some rough patches in the road I would never give you up."

"I would never give you up either," I said as I kissed her cheek. "Never," I said as I let my exhaustion take over me and fell asleep holding her in my arms all night long just like she had asked. There was nothing better than feeling her soft body up against mine and her wrapped up in my arms. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but with her.
