Week 8
We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are. ~Anais Nin
She was pregnant again, but this time was different. She was pregnant with three and they were hers. She was keeping them. Jing-Mei was already feeling completely sick and she already wanted this pregnancy over with. It was hitting her extremely hard. She was already starting to pooch out. It was to be expected since this was her second pregnancy and she was having multiples. John looked at her in the door way as she rested on the bed.
"Do you want me to stay home today?" John asked. Jing-Mei shook her head.
"No. Go." She said, "Just...get me a glass of water...and some crackers." John nodded slowly and went to go fetch them for her. Jing-Mei sighed and curled up in a ball. She felt nauseous again.
"Here." John sat on the edge of the bed and put the crackers and water on the side table. He rubbed her back gently. "Can I get you something else?"
"A bucket." Jing-Mei groaned. John jumped up and grabbed the trashcan. He got it to Jing-Mei just in time for her to throw up. John bit his lip watching her.
"Is this how the whole pregnancy going to be?" He asked softly. Jing- Mei shot him the nastiest look.
"Maybe or all this sickness could end in a couple of weeks." She said lying back down, "It didn't last that long with Michael." John sighed softly.
"I'm going to be late." He said.
"Go, John, please." Jing-Mei said softly. John leaned over kissing her softly.
"Page me if you need anything." She nodded slowly as John exited. Jing-Mei sighed as she sat up. She had so much to do and only thirty-two weeks to do it in. She knew pregnancies seem to fly by. She got up and shuffled to one of the guest's rooms.
This will be a perfect nursery. It only needed a fresh coat of paint and clean windows. She sighed. She really let this place deteriorate since they focused so much time on energy on getting pregnant. She smiled softly and grabbed the phone.
"Hello. This is Jing-Mei Carter. I would like a couple of men over here to help me clear out a room." She said, "Right…I need a fresh coat of white paint as well….How much would it cost?…I see…No that fine….In the Clearview Condos. Condo C….Thank you." Jing-Mei grinned broadly. She hung up the phone and sat down on the couch.

John walked in as men moved beds and bookcases out of the apartment. he looked around in confusion.
"Deb...what's going on?" He looked at his wife who was sipping lemonade on the couch. Jing-Mei smiled.
"Cleaning out the guest rooms for the babies." She said. John scratched his neck.
"Isn't it a little early?" Jing-Mei shrugged.
"So?" She chuckled, "The rooms need to be cleared out and cleaned any way. Why not now?" John shook his head and sat down next to his wife.
"You're absolutely nuts." he snickered putting his hand on her stomach. Jing-Mei grinned looking at him.
"And yet you married me." She said.
"Starting to regret it now." John smiled watching the burly men carry a mattress out. "Where is all this going?"
"Moms." Jing-Mei giggled wildly, "She's gonna get a big surprise."
"Oh lord." John groaned. "She's going to go bezerk."
"I don't care." Jing-Mei laughed, "Blame is on the pregnancy hormones."
"We need to tell her first." John reminded her. Jing-Mei rolled her eyes as one of the men handed her something to sign. She scrawled her name.
"I want to tell Gamma first." She said leding the men out. John grinned with pride. Everything was happening so much more quick than he had anticipated, but this was oh so right. "Come look at the rooms." She bounced down the hallway and looked in the white freshly painted and freshly cleaned rooms.
"So....Clean..." John chuckled walking in, "Crib right here...and here. We can put a rocking chair and a lamp so we can read to them. In the other room, we can put the other baby...unless we have three boys or three girls." Jing-Mei laughed.
"Grouping by sex?" She asked.
"Why not? Don't want them to be too cramped." John grinned.
"I knew you'd like this idea of starting." Jing-Mei smiled, "but like you said, its still early. we cannot count our chicken before they hatch." John sighed slightly.
"I know that." He said, "We need to tell everyone at work. You wont be able to hide this for long, youre alreadys tarting to pop out."
"Starting to get fat. You can say it." Jing-Mei giggled.
"It's not fat." He said, "It's baby protector." Jing-Mei walked into bedroom and laid on the bed. Her hands rubbed her belly.
"It's finally starting to sink in, John." She smiled softly. John sat next to her, placing his lips on her belly.
"It's amazing." John whispered caressing her stomach, "Three human beings are in there. Three things that we created out of love. Three is my new favourite number." Jing-Mei chuckled softly.
"Mine too." She smiled, "It's going to be hard with three newborn babies here."
"We can get some hired help." John suggested.
"I don't know if I want that. That's what we both grew up with." Jing-Mei said. john nodded slowly. "is that what we want for our kids?"
"Well, no, but its different in this case. We're not pawning the kids off on them. We're just looking for assistance." John said. Jing-Mei nodded slowly.
"Very true." She said, "We'll see how we handle it later down the road." John smiled kissing her belly again.
"Sounds like a plan to me." He said, "I still can't believe you already cleaned those rooms out."
"Next time you have to go to work when i don't give me something to do or I'll get bored." She giggled.
"I see that now." John rested his head right above Jing-Mei's stomach. hia thumb caressed the small bump. His heart was swelling with so much love lately. He couldn't wait to see his presious angels.
