Week 30
Even though she was as big as a house, Jing-Mei helped with the move as much as she could. She directed the movers with the crib into one of the many rooms in the house.
"Put the crib right next to the window." Jing-Mei said, "This is my boys room."
"Very well." The moving men mumbled. John walked in and tossed a box to the floor.
"JT isn't even born yet and he already has a shit load of clothes." He said stretching his back
"Well, we spoil these babies way too much." She ran her hand over her large stomach.
"We should spoil them. They're our little miracles." John said taking his wife's hand, "Come on, you're really need to lay down and relax. You shouldn't be on your feet this much." Jing-Mei groaned
"I just want to get all of this done before the babies come." Jing-Mei sighed. John smiled leading her to their room.
"Don't worry. I will make sure we have everything done before they come." John said, "I will do everything. You just lay down and relax. You really need to do that. When they come, we're not going to be resting much."
"I know." Jing-Mei sighed easing herself down into the bed. "I really can't wait for this to be over with, but I'm so nervous. One baby is enough work, but we're having three. Ahh! It's going to be hectic." John chuckled.
"Yeah, but we have maid who will clean and do the laundry." John winked. "That should help some." Jing-Mei shrugged.
"It might, but there will be three babies crying in unison." Jing-Mei pointed out, "There will be like fifteen diapers a day, one hundred and five diapers a week, and lord, like five hundred and twenty five a month. That's like forty-five entire packages of diapers." John laughed.
"Okay, so we will be filling a small landfill." He said, "But it's completely worth it so there's no worries." April, one of the maids, knocked on the door.
"Sir, where should they put the other two cribs?" She asked.
"Oh, Um…the room opposite JT's room. Right?" He looked at Jing-Mei who shrugged.
"Sounds fine." She said.
"Very well, Sir." April said leaving the room.
"Very well, sir." John mocked. Jing-Mei giggled smacking him lightly.
"Behave yourself, Jonathan." She smiled.

Week 32
Jing-Mei sat on the couch looking into the fire. The weather was quickly turning cold. A small frost was expected tonight. John thought it was weird, but Jing-Mei could smell autumn and the pending winter. She could smell the deadness of the leaves and the chill in the air.
"Here you go. Cook heated it up special for us." John sat down next to her with hot cider. Jing-Mei smiled taking.
"Thanks." She said. "I love this season. It's so peaceful."
"Feels dead to me." John said burning his tongue on the cider. "Ouch."
"You need to blow on it first, Dummy." Jing-Mei winked.
"Hmmm…Blowing. Very nice." John smiled. Jing-Mei laughed loudly.
"You'd like that wouldn't you?" She snickered.
"Well, yeah…I would."
"Well, too bad." Jing-Mei said. "I'm on the no sex deal with Coburn so you can't get any if I can't."
"You are one terrible woman." John said wrapping his free arm around her.
"I know." She giggled, "Did you buy enough candy for Halloween?"
"Yes I did. Four bags of licorice. Four Bags of Reese's pieces. Three bags of sprees. Three bags of sweet tarts. Three bags of Hershey bars and two bags of generic lollipops." He said, "And a pair of vampire fangs for me."
"I want to see you I the fangs." Jing-Mei chuckled.
"Okay. Hold on." John kissed her head and got up. Jing-Mei smiled rubbing her extremely large stomach. Soon, she would be a mother again, but this time she'd be keeping the babies. John walked in and grinned showing his fangs, "I vant to suck your blood."
"Oh lord." She laughed, "Those really suit you." John sat down next to his wife and started to nibble at her neck. "Those feel so weird on my neck." She giggled
"You taste so good, My darling." John said.
"You're riling up the triplets." She laughed pushing John away.
"Am I now?" He rested his head on her stomach. "Ow. You're kicking me. Ow. Ow." Jing-Mei giggled.
"I told you. They were being fine until you tried biting me." Jing-Mei said.
"Oh I know you loved it." John winked.
"Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't." Jing-Mei giggled.

Week 34
John was amazed that Jing-Mei was still pregnant. Her Braxton Hicks started to happen more and more. Dr. Maxwell just to monitor them and see how they came along. Jing-Mei was just so uncomfortable all she could do was complain. John couldn't blame her. He would be complaining too if her had three humans inside of him. Dr. Coburn had received so many complaints from Jing-Mei so she had a schedules c-section for December 17th to remove the babies. She would be nearly thirty-nine weeks then and it would be amazing if her water stayed intact until then.
"I c-can't do th-this, John." Jing-Mei sobbed into John's chest; "I'm so uncomfortable."
"Only a month left before the scheduled c-section." He reminded her. He ran his hands across her sore back.
"I feel so big." Jing-Mei moaned.
"Well, you are." John said. Jing-Mei looked at him.
"John!" Her lip trembled as she looked at her husband, "That's mean!"
"I'm sorry. I was just agreeing." He said. "This will all be over soon. JT, Josslyn, and Josie will be here soon."
"Do you think its bad that the girls names start with Jos?" Jing-Mei asked. John shook his head.
"They're pronounced differently so no I think its great." John said. Jing-Mei started to cry.
"Wh-What if they hate their names??" She cried.
"All kids hate their names at one point or another in their lives. May I remind you that you called yourself Deb?" He asked. Jing-Mei nudged him.
"Shut up." She muttered.
"When I was around five, I wanted my name to be Steven." John chuckled. "Steven Carter. I hated the whole Third thing, but now I find it to be a honour and someday JT will find it to be an honour."
"I'm just so worried I'm going to disappoint them. Do you think Michael will hate me?" She asked. John frowned slightly.
"No. I think he would be proud of you for what you did. You gave him to an amazing family." He said.
"B-But what if he finds out I had three kids two years after I gave him up? What do you think he'll think?" She asked.
"I think, he will realize that two years ago you weren't in any position to raise a child by yourself, but now you're married and ready to be a mother." He said, "He will understand and be thankful. I promise, Deb, he wont hold anything against you."
"I know." She sighed, "I'm just…very maternal and worried right now." John smiled tenderly at her.
"Don't be worried. Just lay in my arms and relax." He whispered holding Jing-Mei as much as he could.
