A/N- Here it is! The next chapter. I wrote this chapter twice because something didn't feel right with the first draft. Thank you everyone who reviewed, alerted this story, or alerted me. It made me smile, for the most part. I hope you enjoy this chapter!
It had been about three and a half months since the Torres-Robbins family found out about their three babies. They had been making some major adjustments that expecting parents would be. One of the adjustments was their living conditions. Their two bedroom apartment was definitely going to be too small for the six of them.
About a week after their appointment, Callie and Arizona talked about looking for a house big enough for them, and a couple days later they started looking for one. After a few months, they found a beautiful Victorian style house on the outskirts of town. It was a six bedroom, two story house.
It came complete with a huge backyard, two bathrooms, a large kitchen, a dining area, a family living room, and a finished basement. They both fell in love with it immediately. And so did Sofia, once they brought her there.
Once they started packing boxes to start taking over to their new house, though, Sofia started to dislike the changes the family was making.
"No, mama. This my house."
"Fia, I know this is, but it's going to be too small for us in a couple of months."
"No, it's perfect. I not going."
"Sofia."
"No."
"What's wrong with moving? You loved it there when I brought you up there last week."
"I don't wanna go."
"Hey babe, is everything okay? I heard Sofia crying."
"Everything is okay, Arizona. Sofia just decided that she doesn't want to move now."
"Come here, Sof."
"Okay," Sofia whimpered while she rubbed her eyes.
"Why don't you want to move, Sofia? That house is so much bigger, and you can run around outside and play."
"This is home, and daddy."
Of course, Sofia had always lived here, where her daddy was right next door. Now it was a 10 minute drive to his house.
"Baby, daddy isn't going anywhere. We're only moving a couple minutes away. He would never leave you. You're his little pumpkin."
"Okay, mommy."
"You make it look so easy; convincing her that moving is okay."
"It's part of my charm."
It was a long two weeks later as Callie and Arizona lugged themselves and an uncooperative Sofia to Dr. Cruz's office. They were on their way for their routine check-up and were very excited to see the ultrasound.
They were almost entirely through the moving process and Sofia had warmed up to the idea of the new house once she saw the room her mama had decorated for her. It had light purple walls and pink décor. She believed that it came straight out of a fairy tale book. The family had slept there for the first time last night as well. And as they expected, Sofia crawled into bed with them.
As Dr. Cruz walked into the office, she noticed that the entire family was there today. They usually didn't bring Sofia with them.
"I see we brought the whole family today."
"Mhm, Sofia's dad is working and she had off today. She wanted to come see her little brothers or sisters."
Callie and Arizona had decided to keep the sex of the babies unknown until they were born, like they had with Sofia. According to Sofia, there were three girls inside of mommy's tummy. Both the adults secretly hoped that that wasn't true. But they also knew that any way there would be the possibility of 1 boy & 2 girls, 1 girl & 2 boys, 3 boys, or 3 girls. They hoped it was one of the first two possibilities.
"Well, let's go have an ultrasound to show Sofia her little siblings."
They all made their way to the exam room and Arizona went to change into a gown. For being only four months pregnant, she was much bigger than Callie was with Sofia.
She let out a big sigh and made her way out of the bathroom. Dr. Cruz has the machine all set up and ready for Arizona.
"Okay Sofia, are you ready to see your baby brothers or sisters?" she asked as she applied the cool gel onto Arizona's growing stomach.
"Sisters. They're all girls."
Dr. Cruz had to laugh at how certain the adorable little girl seemed. "You're sure about that?"
"Mhm."
"Well, here you go Sofia; your sisters," Dr. Cruz pointed out on the monitor and Sofia looked super confused as to where she was supposed to look.
"Here, Fia. There's one baby, here's another, and here's the third," Callie helped out the doctor.
"My sisters," Sofia replied in amazement.
After Sofia got bored looking at the monitor, Dr. Cruz went to print out a picture from the ultrasound so they could take it home.
Before Dr. Cruz came back, Sofia had to go potty, as she put it. Callie took her into the bathroom and Dr. Cruz came back to finish up the appointment with Arizona.
"You have three healthy babies growing inside of you, but I want you to start taking it easy now. You're about half way through the average duration of a pregnancy of triplets, and I would like you to keep them growing inside of you for as long as possible." And just then, Callie came back with Sofia.
"I was just telling Arizona that she should start taking it easy, like with her work and the household chores."
"No worries, I'll make sure that she stays as stress free as possible."
"Okay, it seems that Callie is prepared to stop you from pushing yourself."
Truth be told, Callie already wasn't letting Arizona do much at home anyways and tried stopping her from doing anything at work. Arizona wasn't really looking forward to the next four months of her pregnancy.
They got the picture from Dr. Cruz, set up their next appointment for next month, and made their way outside to their car. Callie happened to look over to her wife and noticed tears forming in her eyes.
"Arizona, what's wrong? We have three perfectly healthy babies growing inside of you and one perfectly healthy five year old."
"That's just it. At this stage in your pregnancy, we had one perfectly healthy baby growing inside of you and then we had one not so healthy baby that was born, and a very unhealthy you. I guess it's just these damn hormones and the fact that we're reaching the stage of this pregnancy where things didn't go as planned in the last."
"Calm down, everything is going to be fine. We'll get passed this stage of the pregnancy that we were in with Sofia, who, may I remind you, is perfectly healthy, and we'll be fine," Callie replied, giving her wife a kiss.
They were all getting hungry so they made their way to their favorite little family restaurant. They had a great time there before making their way home for a much needed nap time for the entire family. They loved the tiny family they had now, that could all fit on to Callie and Arizona's king sized bed, but they couldn't wait for the triplets to get here.
A/N 2- Oh, the end of the chapter. Hopefully I'll have the next one up soon. :) What would you guys like seeing, with the sex of the babies? :O Please R&R, I enjoy it!
