A/N: Thanks for the reviews! Jae, I have to tell you I laughed out loud
when I read your review. I can't believe you screamed! Haha. Anyway, enjoy
this chapter and please review.
Oh one more note to Rosie4299: Sorry that you didn't think I did research for the last chapter. I did, and from what I understand, if a baby gets too low, a C section can be riskier than just giving birth. They would have had to wait that long because of her blood pressure, it's very true that a woman can't have a C Section if her blood pressure is too high, the stress from the operation could kill her and the baby. Lastly, they definitely could have sent her home after the appointment, because the same thing happened to a friend of mine and they sent her home. It also happened to my grandmother and they sent her home. I'm not mad about your review, on the contrary I'm GLAD that you sent it because it made me take time to really research even more to see if you were right. Thanks for your review, and I hope you enjoy the rest of this story.

"Good morning class!" Ruthie said warmly to her 5th graders.
"Good morning Mrs. P." They answered in unison.
"Today, we're going to have a very special treat. My older sister, Lucy and her husband, Kevin had triplets three weeks ago, and they have agreed to bring them in this morning to meet all of you!" She said. The class broke out chatting. "All right, all right, settle down!" She said with a laugh. "They should be here in just a few minutes."
Sure enough, Lucy came through the door a few minutes later pushing a triple stroller.
"Awwww!" Cooed all of the girls. Lucy laughed. She pushed the stroller to the front of the room.
"Class, this is my older sister, Lucy." She said, "And my two nephews and my niece. If you have any questions for Lucy, please raise your hand." Immediately, many hands shot up. All of the hands were girl's hands. Lucy called on a little girl with long curly brown hair first.
"What are their names?" She asked. Lucy smiled, and picked William up.
"This is William. We call him Will." She said. She handed Will to Ruthie. He began to cry, but stopped when Lucy gave him his pacifier.
"This is Madison, but we call her Maddy." Lucy said, holding up Maddy and cradling her in her arms. "And that's Luke in there, but he's asleep, so I better not wake him." She said. The little girl smiled.
"Those are cute names." She said.
"Thank you." Lucy said. She called on another girl.
"Where is your husband?" She asked. The class laughed.
"My husband, Kevin, is at work." She answered.
"What is his job?" The girl asked.
"He's a police officer." She said.
"Ooohhh!" That statement got the attention of the boys in the class room. She called on a little blonde girl next.
"When is their birthday?" She asked.
"July 8th." Lucy answered. She called on a boy next, who had just bravely raised his hand.
"What are their middle names?" He asked. A few of the boys snickered, but he glared at them and they stopped immediately.
"This is William Tyler." She said pointing to Will who was half asleep in Ruthie's arms. "I'm holding Madison Grace, and sleeping in the stroller is Luke Alexander.
"Any more questions?" Ruthie asked. No one said anything. "OK, then, say thank you to Mrs. Kinkirk for taking the time to come in this morning. Quietly! Can't wake Luke!"
"Thank you Mrs. Kinkirk." The class said quietly, in unison.
"Any time." Lucy said with a smile. The class laughed along with Lucy as Ruthie went and put William carefully back in his stroller, and kissed him on the head. She kissed Madison right before Lucy put her back in her seat.
"Thanks for coming in, Luce. I think the kids really enjoyed it." She said with appreciation.
"Any time, really!" Lucy said. "Give me a call if you have another open morning. I'd love to bring them in again some time!"
"OK, I'll call you. Thanks." She said. They hugged, Lucy waved goodbye to the class, and she started out of the room.
"Oh, Lucy!" Ruthie called. Lucy turned around.
"Peter wants you to bring them up to his office so he can say hello." Lucy laughed.
"OK." She said and left the room. Yes, this had been a good morning. Luke was asleep, Will was getting there, and her little survivor was still going strong.
A/N: I hope you liked this! Yes, people really do do that. My teachers' siblings and kids always bring their babies in to say hello. It's fun!
