CH 133
The next morning Sam limo showed up to take her to the beauty parlour where she was getting a full body massage, the work done.
After Sam was gone Jack took all the caps and gowns into his truck, it took a few trips. When they were all in he drove to Denver University to drop them off then he went to meet Phillip, Tracey and Grace for lunch at the hotel. Then they were going to head to the university for the graduation.
When Sam had her spa treatment and hair done and everything paid for, she walked outside; her limo was waiting for her. Once she was in and the driver was in, he drove her to the university. Sam felt happy and relaxed.
She was thinking about her upcoming training that was coming up next week and also her wedding plans to think about. When the limo stopped, she got out and thanked the driver before walking into where she was meeting the other students before they walked into the main hall.
She walked in to where the others were and she tried on a cap and gowns till she found one that fit her. By that time the teachers and the principal walk into the room with their caps and gowns.
The teachers spoke to them all then they all got in line in alphabetical order. When they are all ready they open the double doors and the principal walks out first then the teachers. Then the students walk out with smiles on their faces.
Sam saw Jack and smiled at him which he did in return then she turned to look to where she was going. Once seated the graduation ceremony began when Sam name was called out
They all watch her receive her diploma and shake the principal hand before walking back to her seat. When it was over they all took their caps off and through them in the air and their families clap and cheer them on.
When it was over everyone got up and mingled. After Sam picks up her cap she walks over to where her family is. She gave Jack a hug and kiss then she gave the others a hug. They talk for ten minutes then they walk over to where the photographer was taking photos. He took one of Sam alone then he took one of Jack and Sam together, then one of Grace and Sam together.
Then he took one of Tracey, Philip and Sam together. When it was over, Sam thanked him before walking over to a spot talking to some of the others for half an hour before they walked down to the dinning room where they all had hot drinks and finger food out on the tables. They were there for the next hour before Sam said her goodbye to her professor before she left with Jack and the others.
They went to the hotel where they all had evening dinner at the restaurant. While eating, they were talking and laughing for the next two hours before they all said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.
By the time Jack and Sam got home it was almost midnight so they both went to bed since it was a long day for them both.
Sam and Jack got a day off together two weeks later, they went to see Lisa Johnson so Jack could meet the women and paid the deposit for their wedding. After they were there for an hour, they went into town for some lunch and shopping.
Sam went into a bridal shop to sort out her wedding dress while Jack waited out in the truck. An hour later Sam walked back out and got into the truck with a smile on her face.
"How did it go in there?"
"Good I show them different pictures so now they know and took my measurement since I don't know when the next time I've for a day off"
"Ok lets go and get some groceries and head on home
"Good idea" then Jack drives them to the grocery store, then home.
Over the next few weeks Sam was busy with her academy classes for computer engineering and exercise training and several other training which she passed with flying colours.
Two weeks before the wedding Jack and Sam put on a surprise baby shower for Mark and Ann at their house. When Mark and Ann showed up they thought it was a barbecue luncheon for the four of them. When they walk around the corner of the house they stop in shock
"SURPRISE" everyone yelled out then they clapped and cheered them on.
When Sam saw Ann it was the first time in four months. They did talk on the phone but nothing when Sam saw her she was shocked to see how big she was, and then Sam remembered that Ann was six weeks away from giving birth to twins.
Sam and Jack invited all their family and their friends to it. Sam even sent an innovation to her parents for it, knowing that they wouldn't show up.
When mark and Ann look around the backyard they could see blue, pink, yellow, green, and orange and other colour balloons, tables chairs everywhere. Sam walks over to them with a grin on her face "come on you two" they walk in as everyone talks to them and mingles. Sam walk them over to a table and got them to sit down, then Jack showed up with drinks for them both
"Let us take care of you both," he said, smiling at them then he walked over and stood next to Sam who was on the back patio. She gave a loud whistle and every one went quiet
"I'm Sam, Mark's little sister, when he told me about the Ann pregnancy on Christmas day, I was shocked but happy for them. After all they did plan this and they did have heaps of practice at it before hand" every one laugh, Sam turn to look at Mark and Ann blushing
So first starter is presents and I know how you two love presents for the nursery, this is from Jack and me"
While Sam was talking, Jack walked into the garage and waited for Sam to signal. When he got it, pick up an antique rocking chair and walk outside with it. When Mark and Ann saw it, their eyes widened in shock. When Jack put it down next to Ann she touch it then look at them
"How did you know that this is what I wanted to get?" Ann asked
"Ask Mark that question," Sam said. Ann turn to Mark
"I knew you wanted it and we knew we couldn't afford it at the time. When Sam look around the nursery she did ask about a rocking chair so I told her about the one you like and where it is, so I didn't know that they got it"
"Oh Mark, thank you" she gave him a kiss then turned to Jack and Sam. She gave them both a hug
"Thank you I love it"
"We knew you would" then Sam look at their guests
"Who want to bring their gift up first" Hour later all their baby shower gifts were open
"On behalf of Ann and myself, thank you for your wound full gifts and this baby shower" every one clap
"Ok everyone their just one more thing as Jack would say there is no party without cake"
Then four women walk out carrying two large trays. When they were put on the table and step away every one could see one cake done in yellow and the other in green with white writing on them both
'HAPPY BABY SHOWER ANN' and the other says 'HAPPY BABY SHOWER MARK'
When Mark and Ann saw the cakes, Mark stood up and helped Ann up so they could look at the two cakes with smiles on their faces. Then Mark picks up the knife and Ann puts her hand on top of his and they cut into one, then the other. Every once clap and cheers them on as they kiss afterwards.
Mark helped Ann to sit down again back in the chair while the women took the cakes away, then one guy walked over with a tray in hand, he placed a plate and napkin on their table first before walking over to another table. Then Mark sat down next to Ann and he held onto her hand.
"Jack and Sam sure full of surprises"
"Yes they are alright, I still can't believe that all our family is here"
"I know, I think Jack and Sam must of plan this since I told them about the pregnancy"
"I wouldn't pass them, they sure love to plan a party"
"Yeah but there biggest party is in two weeks"
"Their wedding" he nodded then gave her a kick when there was a flash. When they broke apart they turned to see Phillip taking a photo of them with a grin on his face.
"I hope you got plenty of film for the wedding uncle"
"Tracey brought fifty rolls of film last week"
"Ah"
Then they saw the waiters walking out with trays of finger food in their hands. They were going person to person. They even went where Mark and Ann are so they could choose whatever they want. Jack made sure that they got a drink and plenty to eat.
Twenty minutes later, Mark helps Ann up and they walk inside so she could use the bathroom. When she walk out, Sam was they're looking at her
"Ann how long have you had the back problem for?"
"Four months, the doctors this that one of the twins is pushing on a nerve"
"Would you like for me to heal it for you, even if it for a short while"
"Yes, I would like that"
"Come with me" They walk down to one of the guestrooms and walk in and Sam close the door
"Ok can you get on your hands and knees on the bed?"
"With some help"
"Sure" Sam help Ann onto the bed once she was on her hand and knees
"Ok Ann I'm going to lift your dress up so I can put my hand on you back"
"Ok"
Sam lifted the dress and put her hand under it and she put her hand on to her spine and closed her eyes for a few seconds. Ann could feel the warmth from Sam's hand going through her back from where the main point of her pain is, she could feel the pain disappearing till it was gone then she felt Sam move away. When Sam moved away and pulls the dress down then she help Ann onto her feet
"Wow thanks Sam… Sam what is it?"
"I'm not sure yet"
Then she put both hands on Ann expanding stomach and closed her eyes then she moved around so she could move her hand on to Ann back. Ann watch her frond then raised her eyebrows then smile as she open her eyes
"What, is everything ok" Ann was starting to get worried
"Everything is fine but you and Mark will have to get another cot and bassinet, you are carrying triplets. That is why your back is giving you problems, one of the triplets is pushing against your spine and that is why it's not showing up on the ultrasound cause the two your got here"
She moves till both hands on to Ann stomach; Ann was shock with what Sam just told her
"Triplets?"
"Yes and I know what you are carrying"
"The third one, what are we having?"
"A boy" Ann smile
"Wow thank you for telling me"
"Your welcome now when are you going to tell Mark?"
"Tonight in bed at least if he faints he lies down" they both laugh. When Ann told Mark on Christmas day that she was pregnant he fainted on her.
"Good idea come on our men will be wondering where we are"
"True, I should tell mum and dad?"
"Tomorrow after you tell Mark first"
"Good idea" They walk out of the bedroom and outside again.
Sam walks over to where Jack is, they wrap their arms around each other and both kiss while Ann walks over to where Mark is. Everyone enjoyed themselves for the rest of the evening. Some of the couples help take the gifts to Mark and Ann place before heading home for the night.
After everyone was gone and the place clean up, Jack and Sam were sitting down on the couch
"What a day" sam said
"Yeah, so you heal Ann back?"
"For a short while but she got some news to share with Mark"
"Oh what news?"
"She carrying triplets" Jack raised both eyebrows
"Triplets?"
"Yep that why she been having a lot of back pain"
"Wow what a way to start the family"
"I know"
"Shall we see what movie is on TV?"
"Sounds good to me" then he turns the TV on.
Ann and Mark were lying in bed, she knew she needed to tell him and hoping that he wouldn't faint like he did on Christmas morning when she gave him the news. She turned her head and look at him
"Mark" he turned and looked at her
"Ann are you ok, you been quiet this evening"
"Sam told me some thing which I'm still shock about" he rolled on to his side facing her
"What wrong, are the kids ok?" she smile at him
"Yes they more than fine, Sam told me the reason why I've been having a lot of back problems our son is the course and Sam knows what I'm carrying, she not going to tell any one" Mark was still shock
"Son but we were told we are having daughters"
"We are still, our son is hiding behind them… we having triplets Mark"
"Triplets" he said in shock
"Yes triplets"
"Wow, talk about surprises"
"I know" he lean over and gave her a kiss
"I love you so much"
"I love you to Mark"
"Triplets… wow" Ann giggle
"Yes wow"
"Well then sounds like I got a lot of shopping to do in the next couple of weeks"
"Yeah, mum and dad are going to be shock"
"I know, lets get some sleep shall we knowing these kids will be awake early for their morning feed"
"True"
He gives her a kiss then rolls over back to where he was before with a smile on his face. They both closed their eyes and fell asleep seconds later with smiles on their faces.
