A/N Almost two years has passed since I have started this story but alas I am sorry for all you readers who were waiting for an update. Here it is.

A couple of days after bringing Nevaeh, Eric Jr, and Jasvaeh into the world, Calleigh and Eric were more than ready to go home. Ryan came over into the hospital room to help Eric carry the three car seats out to the van. Calleigh came behind them carrying little Nevaeh.
Calleigh handed Nevaeh to Eric to put her in the van and smiled. "What's the smile for, babe?" Eric asked her. Calleigh looked up at him, smiled. and said, "Thinking about how lucky we are to have each other and these three little miracles." Eric smiled back and wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her passionately. Eric then helped Calleigh into the van and made sure she was comfortable and buckled in.
The drive home took a little over an hour due to traffic. In that time it was discovered that Jasvaeh did not like the movement of the car and she was not happy. Calleigh's emotions were on an emotional roller-coaster and she started to tear up. Eric noticed and gave her leg a pat and said, "It's okay babe. I used to hate the movement of a car when I was born, as my mother told me. She will be fine." Calleigh smiled, nodded, and reached back to soothe Jasvaeh.
"You know, I am curious to see which one of them will be like me and which one will be like you, Calleigh. The other one might be a mix of you and I. I will be the happiest father on Earth to my two little princesses and little prince." Eric said to his first princess.
Eric pulled into the driveway of the house that he and Calleigh bought a couple of years ago. Calleigh noticed the banner on the garage door that had in big letters "WELCOME HOME DELKO'S" with the whole gang standing underneath it.
The van was shut off and Calleigh and Eric got out to welcoming hugs from the gang. While Horatio was hugging Calleigh, Eric and Natalia got the triplets out of the van and into the house. Calleigh and Eric got the triplets set up in the bassinettes by the couch. the gang got set up by them and they all oohed and aahed over how cute they are.
After an hour, Horatio could tell that Calleigh looked wiped out and gently shooed everyone out so Calleigh and Eric could get some much needed rest. While the triplets were passed out, Eric and Calleigh curled up on the couch wrapped in each other's arms and fell asleep.
More to come.
