I hope you liked the last chapter. There are probably going to be about twenty chapters overall, so I hope you can bear with me on the wait time for the song fics. Thanks for reading my story! Here's another chapter!

Chapter Nine: Three Times the Fun

Simon sat in the waiting room of the hospital, wondering how his wife was. She had woken up with bad pains that morning, so he had rushed her to the hospital. Soon she came out of the exam room with Dr. Foster.

Simon stood up immediately. "How are you, Cec? Are you okay? Is something wrong?"

"Simon...calm down. We're having triplets."

"Triplets?" he said, his knees growing weak. He sat down again. Triplets. A smile slowly came over his face. He couldn't be more proud than he was at that moment.

Cecilia saw the look on his face. "Simon? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm great," he said. "I love you, Cecilia. Triplets! Wow!"

She smiled that infamous three-quarters smile that she always got when she was happy or excited. He hugged her and gave her a kiss.

"Now, Cecilia, remember what I told you," Dr. Foster began.

"Yes, doctor. I will do exactly what you said," she replied.

Simon gave her a confused look. She looked at him and said, "Simon, I have to be really careful with this one. I can't be too active, I need lots of rest and I have to watch what I eat."

"You can do that," Simon said.

"And, Simon... I can't have sex."

His face fell for a moment, but then he said, "We...we can handle that."

She bent her head down. "I...I'm sorry, Simon," she said softly.

"Baby, it's okay. I love you, and I know we can get through this, okay? Don't cry, Sweetheart." He held her close to him. "Wait a minute. What were the pains, then?"

"They weren't anything, Simon, my body's just trying to get used to carrying three babies. It isn't used to it."

"Oh. Will you be able to have a natural birth?"

"Well, if God meant for me to, then yes."

"Well, when are you due?"

"December 25th. Christmas Day! How cute is that?"

"Baby, that's great! We'll have Christmas babies!"

"I have to interrupt now," Dr. Foster interrupted. "Does that mean you want to schedule a cesarean for Christmas Day?"

"Is it safer for me and the babies that way?" Cecilia asked.

"Slightly, yes, but you don't have to if you don't want to."

She looked at Simon. He nodded at her, and she said, "Okay, I guess we can, if it's better."

They scheduled for 9 am on Christmas Day, and then they left. "Simon, should we pick out names that we like? How about Christmas, Noel, and December for girls? For the season, you know. For boys, we could go with Gabriel, Emmanuel and Christian. What do you think?"

"I love them, Cec, but what about their middle names?"

"They can have regular middle names. How about Christmas Faith, Noel Hope and December Grace for the girls and Gabriel Timothy, Emmanuel Thomas and Christian Rhian for the boys?"

"I like them, but what if they don't want Christmas names?"

"Well... We'll think about it."

"Sounds good to me. You know what else sounds good?"

"What?"

"Pizza. I'm starving."

"Me, too. Let's go eat."

They walked hand in hand to the nearest pizza parlor to celebrate the news of their triplets.
