Chapter Three

"Wait...are you all serious?" Asked Sylvie as she turned and looked at the black and white screen to her left.

Maggie and Natalie both turned to each other and smirked.

"Yeah, we're sure. Here take a look." Said Natalie as she pointed to the three small bean-shaped objects.

Brett turned, stared at the screen, and gasped. 'Triplets? How am I having triplets? Wait...Matt and I are having triplets...' Thought Brett as small, delicate tears started to gather up in her eyes.

"Matt you're looking a little pale there." Giggled a smiling Maggie as she started to help Brett clean up.

Matt shook his head, trying to come out of the trance he had been in for the last five minutes after finding out that he was going to be the father of three. "What...I'm sorry. I'm just a little shocked. I mean, triplets. Can you believe it, Brett?"

"No. I mean how is it possible? Neither of us have twins or triplets in our family's, that we know of."

"Sometimes it just happens for couples, regardless of family genes or not." Called Natalie as she came back into the room carrying a file full of papers and pamphlets.

It seemed like time flew by as Matt and Sylvie talked with Maggie and Natalie about the dos and don'ts of Brett's pregnancy.

"When do we get to find out the sexes?" Asked an eager Matt as he helped Brett put on her fluffy, blue marshmallow coat.

Natalie looked at the couple and smiled, "Not for a couple of months. You still have a while to go so make sure you're eating lots and getting plenty of rest. Okay? You're not due until the start of summer, so you have plenty of time to prepare."

Brett and Casey both looked at Maggie and Nately and nodded. Casey was so excited he kept going through a mental checklist of everything they needed in his mind.

Maggie pulled a paper out of her pocket and handed it to Casey, "Nowhere is your prescription for prenatal vitamins that you need to take. Make sure you are taking those every day; they seem to really help expecting mothers and babies."

Brett and Casey both had a huge smile on both of their faces. They simply could not believe they were having triplets. Triplets. How in the world were they having triplets?

"Hey, what do you say we go grab a bite to eat?" Asked Casey as he sat behind the driver's seat of his pickup truck.

Brett looked up from her phone and smiled, "Sure, I would love too! How about that little dinner on Park Street?"

"Perfect." Called Casey as he started the truck and prepared to pull out on to the main road.

Brett and Casey both sat in a small booth in the back of the dinner.

"So…" Started Casey.

"So…" Replied an ever-smirking Brett.

"What do you think you're going to get?"

"Umm..I'm not sure. Honestly, my stomach is kinda nauseous right now."

Casey quickly looked up from his bright plastic menu, "Wait, are you okay? Are the babies okay?"

"Casey, relax. I'm fine and the babies are fine. It's all perfectly normal. Okay?"

Casey seemed to visibly relax, "Okay, you're right. I guess I'm just a little nervous. I mean with everything that happened with Gabby being pregnant and all. I just want to make sure that nothing happens and everything is okay. You know?"

Brett slightly nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I understand. Listen...we need to talk about a couple of things."

"Okay, like what?"

Brett took a small sip of her orange juice then started, "Well, for starters, what are we? I mean are we together are we not together?"

Casey grinned, "Do you want to be together?"

"I mean...yeah I think so. I just don't want these kids to come from a broken home you know. We have seen so much with what we do, I just want them to have a happy family."

"Me too, Brett. What do you say we take things slow?"

"Do you mean like first date slow or have three kids together slow? Because I don't think we really know the definition of what slow means." Laughed Brett as she pulled the ultrasound pictures out of her pink coat pocket.

Casey joined her in laughing, "Well, I was thinking first date slow and then we can go from there. What do you say? I mean, I know it's not the most convenient situation considering in about six months we will both be parents to three kids, but I want to do this with you, Brett. I wanna see where this goes."

Brett's eyes seemed to gleam over, "I want that too, Casey."

"Well, good because I don't want it with anyone but you." Replied Casey as he reached across the table to take Brett's hand in his.

Brett just looked at him and smiled she couldn't believe her luck. 'How did I get so lucky?' She thought as she felt Casey squeeze her hand once more before letting go.

"Brett, we need to talk about something else."

Brett threw her head up to meet Casey's eyes, "What? Is something wrong?"

"No, no. I just think that it would be easier to go through with all of this if you lived with me."

Brett looked at Casey with wide eyes, "What?"

"Listen, Brett, you and I both know that when the babies come we're both going to need to be living together and this way I will be able to look at you and the babies."

"Casey, I get what you're saying, but we also just said that we want to take things slow. How are we going to do that if we're living together?"

"I get what you're saying. I think it would just be easier this way."

Brett took a second to think, "Okay, how about this. We wait until I am at the halfway mark of my pregnancy. Then I move in with you or we find a bigger place, which we will need."

Casey huffed, "Okay. I can agree with that."

Brett smiled, "Good. I mean how would we explain it to the firehouse that I just decided to move in with you."

Casey nodded, "You're right. We should wait until we tell everyone."

"Good. And while we're on the subject I want to wait a little longer to tell everyone. I know we will have to tell Chief as soon as we are back on shift, but I just want to wait. Okay?"

"Okay. I like that idea. Now, how about we order some food."

Brett giggled, "Okay!"
