I'm SOOO SO SO SOOO SORRY that I haven't updated in, like forever. I didn't mean to do that at all.
I just got busy with family, then started a new job, then more family shit, but please forgive me.

Hopefully I don't take long with the next chapter, I already started it, so maybe, hopefully,
I don't get writers block again, 'cause that was another problem I had.

But anyways, PLEASE ENJOY, I'm SORRY AGAIN.

And PLEASE REVIEW.


Not Knowing – 48

Two Months Later. . . .

For the past two months my mom was pretty much by my side, even though I tried to get away from her, I still wasn't a hundred percent happy with her. But how was I supposed to tell her? I would usually just yell at her like I used to do, but with us both being pregnant, things would probably end wrong. So I just dealt with her presence.

"Have you found out the genders yet?" my mom finally asked the question that everyone was dreading to know. Lissa was practically jumping up and down to go buy baby shower gifts.

"Not yet mom," I sighed. "And I don't want to know."

"What do you mean you don't want to know?"

"I want it to be a surprise."

"But how are we supposed to buy gifts?"

"Get something that could go for either gender, like I care." But I did. Dimitri and I had been talking a lot about how we were going to do the baby's room, and we still haven't started, and we only had two more months left. Oh boy, how time sure does fly.

"You know you care, I know I do."

"Then what is the gender of your baby?" I asked, waiting for a response.

"I don't know yet. Abe and I are going to find out in an hour. Rose, please find out the genders, I would like to know what to buy for you."

"I don't want to know."

"Please Rose."

"I said NO," I yelled and walked off. I know I shouldn't have, but why can't she just listen to me once in a while.

An hour and a half later my mom was running up to me again. "I'm having a girl!" She was practically jumping all over the place. I don't know why she was so excited in the first place, she already had a daughter, me. "What's wrong?" she asked when I didn't congratulate her.

"Nothing, I'm excited for you, really. I'm just tired." And I wasn't lying, being pregnant is exhausting, especially when there are three of them in me and it feels like they're fighting inside. I walked away from her, leaving her to stare at me. And then Lissa ran up to me. Apparently I can never have some alone time.

"So have you changed your mind on finding out the sex of the babies yet?" I looked up into her bright jade green eyes, seeing the hope in them. How can I say no to her?

"Why is it so important that you know?"

"So I know what to get them. I want to get them the perfect stuff, and that's impossible to do when I don't know the genders." She tugged my arm to pull me to a stop and stared me in the eyes. "I know you really want to know, every girl wants to know the gender of their own baby."

"But I'm not every girl, Liss."

"Like I don't know that. But can you at least go to the doctor's and they can tell me." I thought about it for a while, making Lissa wait, which was killing her.

I finally answered right as she opened her mouth. "I guess that could work. But if I find out by someone somehow, I'm going to kill you." She hugged me so hard it felt like she could pop the babies out of me right then and there.

"I love you, I love you, I love you!"

"You better, because my mom couldn't even get me to go find out the genders. But I'm not joking, if I somehow find out, I'm going to really hate you for the rest of your life."

"Okay, okay, I won't let anyone mention it, but you know I will have to mention it to the others, they're dying to know too." Boy, do I know that.

Three hours later everyone but me knew the genders of my babies. And I know I said I didn't want to know, but having everyone else know, and it was killing me. They all just kept smiling and congratulating me. But they all knew that I didn't know, so I would just glare at them until they walked away.

"Hey," a sexy voice whispered in my ear after I made it back to my room. I smiled as Dimitri snuck around me and landed a kiss on my lips. That always cheers me up.

"What?" I asked as he gave me a weird look.

"Did you finally cave into Lissa's pleas?"

"What? Did you find out what they are?"

"No, they know I would kick their asses if I heard. But Lissa has been jumping around happily all day."

"I know it," I sighed. "And she's already told everyone. I'm just waiting for my mom to show up all mad because I wouldn't let her know the sex."

"Well then you might want to watch out, I saw her coming up the stairs earlier." And at the mention of that, the door banged open to a panting Janine. "What took you so long?" Dimitri smiled.

"Do you see this?" she practically shouted, pointing to her big belly. "This thing here slows me down. If you had helped me like a gentleman would have, maybe I would have been here sooner."

"Sorry, but someone had to warn Rose here that you were on the way." Janine glared at Dimitri as I just sat there, staying out of it until she turned her glare on me. But then it turned into a smile.

"I'm glad you finally let someone talk you into finds out the sex."

"You're not mad that it was Lissa that finally talked me into it and not you?"

"No, I'm the one that told her to keep bugging you. She didn't really want to 'cause she thought you needed the rest." I should have known. "Anyway, at least I know what to look for now."

"Good for you. Is any of it going to help my feet? Because I think they're almost the size of melons."

"You're just exaggerating, they can't get that big."

"Really? Not even with having triplets? Because I can't even fit into my shoes, or my socks. They're all already stretched out." Janine smiled, trying to stop a laugh but I knew it was coming.

"So that's why you're always cooped up in here now?" I didn't even have to say anything; she could tell that I was never going to leave my seat again. Probably not for the next two months, hopefully, but unlikely.

"So what do you want if you're not here to yell at me?"

"Is that all you think I do? I was just coming to ask if you guys wanted to come and eat with Abe and me and maybe talk baby names." Ugh, not baby names.

"I'll come and eat, if Dimitri wants to. But I'm leaving baby names to Dimitri."

"Okay then," she smiled and then turned to Dimitri. "So would you like to talk baby names with me?" I smiled up at Dimitri, letting him know that I didn't care, and that she's his problem now.

"Sure," he replied. "As long as you let me cook." Now at least I know the food will be good.
