Three Weeks Later

Callie's View

I shifted uncomfortably in bed and pulled my body pillow in closer. It was three in the morning and the twins were fighting. Mark was fast asleep but I couldn't catch a wink of sleep. Mark and I were still arguing about what to name the boy. I feared we'd never figure it out. For now we had decided to cease fire and just wait until we hold him to name him. Which was kind of driving me nuts. I liked to plan ahead. After a few more minutes of tossing and turning I gave up and wandered into what is going to be the Twin's room. It was in the process of being painted. We'd decided to paint the walls like the sky. The clouds were already painted and now we were just painting the sky blue. Teylon was growing impatient, he wanted to meet the twins now. Shelby wasn't really impatient but she was excited. Both of them liked to kiss my belly and tell them goodnight and good morning. Mark would rub my belly and talk to the twins when he thought I was asleep. I sat down in the rocking chair and just looked around at all the stuff we had pushed away from the walls so we could paint. Two cribs, one with pink bedding and the other with blue sat in the far corner. Eventually I drifted off to sleep.

Enter Dream

Shelby did a backflip off the diving board and entered the water in a perfect dive. She was 16 now. Teylon was playing catch with his little brother. Teylon was 18 and the twins were 12. Cloey was watching Shelby dive with interest and Mark was flipping hamburgers. I was on the phone with someone.

"Cal, Wyatt is throwing up, I can't make it." Kallye told me.

"Oh no, okay well I hope that no one else gets sick." I told her sympathetically. Addison entered the back yard with her kids and Derek in tow. "Addison is here, I have to go but I'll call in to check on you guys later." I told Kallye.

"Okay, bye Cal." She said and hung up. Addison came over and sat down next to me.

"Who was that? Where's Kallye?" She asked

"That was Kallye, they aren't coming Wyatt is throwing up." I told her. Trenton wheeled himself over to us.

"Mom can I get in?" He asked Addison hopefully.

"Yes, but be extra careful, just because therapy has given you some feeling back does not mean you can swim well." Addison warned. He nodded and put his wheelchair in lock position. He pulled off his shirt and slid into the was eighteen and pretty ripped. He was going off to college next month and Addison was a nervous wreck. Addison sat down on a chair next to me.

"So Wyatt's sick?" She asked. I nodded.

"Apparently. She sounded really stressed." I told her. Addison nodded.

"That boy cannot stay healthy." Addison noted. I nodded.

End Dream

Mark shook me gently awake.

"Cal. It's time to get ready for work." He told me. I stretched and groaned.

"Seriously?" I asked. Mark laughed.

"Seriously. What were you doing in here?" He asked. I sighed and stood up.

"I couldn't sleep." I admitted. Mark sighed.

"I'm sorry babe. It'll be over soon." He said and kissed my forehead.

Two Weeks Later

Kallye's View

I shifted uncomfortably on the exam table. I hated how I felt so fat. Addison was taking my blood and checking all the necessary things.

"Almost done Kal." She promised. Alex was holding my hand.

"Can we find out the sexes today?" Alex asked, Addison nodded.

"If they cooperate." Addison told him.

"Well, I hope they do." Alex told her. I still had a long way to go which meant I was going to feel even fatter. Addison finished everything a few minutes later. Then she scooted the ultrasound machiene closer and squirted the gel onto my exposed bump. Alex's grip on my hand tightened. Addison smiled.

"Well, baby B is a boy, baby C is a girl, and if baby A would just turn the right way for me. Let's see, there we go, hi buddy. Looks like Baby A is another boy. Congratulations guys." Addison told us. Alex grinned.

"Two boys, I guess we have more influence in the house now." Alex smirked. I rolled my eyes as Addison handed me a paper towel to clean the gel off my stomach with. Alex's pager went off. He kissed me lightly on the forehead and left.

"Kal, are you okay?" Addison asked.

"I hate how fat I feel. Sometimes I wish I had lost one of them. How completely awful is that?" I sobbed. Addison handed me a tissue.

"Oh Kal, we all struggle sometimes, but let me assure you, there is nothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman. Being pregnant with triplets just makes you three times as beautiful." Addison told me. I smiled.

"Promise?" I asked. Addison smiled.

"Promise," She assured me. "Do you have any names you like?" She asked. I shrugged.

"I like Wyatt or Henry." I told her. She smiled.

"I like Sebastian." She mused.

"If one of yours is a boy you should name him Sebastian." I told her.

"I like that, Sebastian Shepherd. It fits well." She said. I smiled.

"Wyatt Karev, what do you think about that?" I asked.

"I love that. I hope our husbands agree to the names. What about the girl? Any ideas?" She asked.

"I kinda like Alexa." I admitted.

"Alex probably would think it was too much like a junior." Addison told me. I nodded.

"Maybe as a middle name?" Addison asked. I nodded that was a good idea.

"What is the chance of developing gestational diabetes? Since I had it with the twins?" I asked. Addison ran a hand through her hair.

"I'm not going to lie, this is an extremely high risk pregnancy. Even more high risk than mine. You've had previous pregnancies with preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and you're carrying triplets." Addison told me. I nodded. She was right, the only pleasant pregnancy I had had was with Kimberly.

"So what are the chances? Give me a number." I told her.

"About 40%." Addison admitted.

So whatcha think of the chapter? Drop a review and let me know. Reviews mean so much to me. I know this chapter was a little short, next chapter will be a lot longer. I've got a lot planned for it. As always I am open to suggestions! REVIEW
