Chapter 9
"Triplets?
Triplets! There are three of them?"
Laura nodded.
"Um, congratulations you two," Bobbie said. "I'll leave you to
discuss this in private."
After she left, Laura walked over and sat down next to Luke.
"What are we going to do? We aren't prepared to take care of three babies!
Two was going to be a handfull."
"I know. Laura I'm getting too old for this. I just realized that by the
time these kids are eighteen, I'll be 74. That's too old to deal with three
teenage...um were they boys or girls?"
"All girls."
"Oh great, I'll be a father in his seventies trying to fight boys
away from my three daughters. I'll have a heart attack."
"Well I don't think it will come to that, but I don't know how we're going
to handle this. Three of them Luke. My Mother can't
handle three of them, plus Lulu. I will have to quit my job instead of just
cutting back on my hours. Luke what are we going to do?"
"I don't know Angel. I just don't know."
Bobbie came back in. "Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt. Your babies have
been moved to the nursery if you want to see them."
Luke and Laura followed her down the hall to the nursery.
"They're so small," Luke said. "Laura, I don't think we can do
this, not with three of them."
"I know. I agree with you, but what are our options?"
"I don't know? Let's go home and get some rest. We can think about what to
do then."
