Chapter nineteen

A month later, Dea and Eddy were at the hospital.

They were in a doctor's room, waiting for the Dea's doctor to come in.

Half an hour later, the doctor came in the room.

"So is it a boy or a girl?" Eddy asked the doctor.

"Let's find out for ourselves, Eddy." Dea said.

"Is the baby healthy, doctor?"

"You haven't been drinking alcohol, but you need to quit drinking coffee."

"I stopped drinking it when I found out that I'm pregnant." Dea said, laughing.

"Well, the babies are healthy." The doctor said.

"Ya see that, Eddy the babies are just fine." Dea said, walking out of the room.

"Did you just say babies?" Eddy said.

Dea suddenly came back in the room.

"Did you just say babies?" Dea said.

"Yes, you're having triplets." The doctor said.

Dea was jumping up and down and Eddy's eyes were big.

"This is great, Eddy!" Dea said, hugging Eddy.

"Yeah…peachy keen." He said.

Dea came home and told anyone the whole thing.

"That's great, Dea!" Amy said.

Eddy came home, still shocked.

"Salutations, Eddy! I heard that you're having triplets! Congrats!"

"Y-Yeah…" Eddy said.

"Something's disturbing you, Eddy. What's concerning you? Maybe I can resolve this problem you're having."

"When the doctor told me and Dea that we're having triplets, my heart sank. Three babies at one time? What if I mess up? What if I'm not a good father?"

Double Dee sighed and said, "Look, Eddy, you're going to be a superb father. Even if you're not going to be a great father, I'm sure your kids will adore you, because they'll like you for who you are."

Eddy smiled.

"Thanks, Double Dee." He said.

"Dea is two months pregnant, and I'm afraid that…"

"Hey, Eddy, I want you to go to the store. I want mashed potatoes, turkey, and a bag of potato chips would be fine for me. Can you do that? Good."

Dea went back upstairs.

Eddy sighed.

"Give me some currency, I'm broke." He said.

Double Dee sighed, and gave Eddy 50 bucks.

"Which store are you going to go to?" Double Dee asked.

"To that store across the street. Their prices are really cheap."

Eddy left Dea's house to get food for Dea.

30 minutes later, Eddy was back from the store.

Dea was in the kitchen when Eddy came in the kitchen to put the groceries on the kitchen table.

"I got everything except the turkey." Eddy said.

Dea shrugged.

"That's okay. Put the bag of potato chips on the table, and mashed potatoes in the microwave.

Dea had three bags of potato chips and mashed potatoes for dinner.

Everyone was shocked.

"I wasn't aware that Dea could consume all that food." Double Dee said.

"Me neither." Marty said.

"When's my birthday Double Dee?" Ed asked.

"Today's February, so…nine months until you're 15th birthday."

"Cool!" Ed said.

Then, Ed went to the living room, saying "Happy birthday!"

Double Dee sighed.

"Lovable oaf." He said.
