LEAH’S POVToo many thoughts kept bugging my mind. I didn’t have a good sleep last night, making the corners of my eyes stung with soreness due to lack of sleep.The next morning, Felix came early in the room to check on Bella. I watched him gently examine her, his hands moving with practiced ease as he checked her vitals and reviewed the latest test results.“She’s doing much better now.” He turned to me after he finished the check-up, speaking in a clam and reassuring tone. “Her vitals are stable and there’s no sign of any lingering issues. Just let her take the vitamins I’ll prescribe and ensure a healthy diet for her.”A sigh of relief escaped my lips as I nodded my head at him. “Thank you.”The tension from last night still lingered in the air, especially after my encounter with Hudson and Brixton. I was trying to shake off the uneasiness and awkwardness I was feeling, especially in front of Felix.Yesterday, he also saw and met Hudson and Brixton. Though I know Felix has his dou
LEAH’S POV“You should meet them.” Marina sat across from me. We were currently on a break at work, and I invited her to go to the nearest coffee shop near the company’s building.As expected, I knew she would sense my intentions of inviting her for a talk.She already knew about the matter of Hudson and Brixton finding out that the triplets are theirs. A week has passed since the incident, and it was three days ago when Brixton asked if they could meet me and the twins. However, I wasn’t on my proper state during that day… I was still bugged by my own chaotic thoughts, and I wasn’t ready to face them yet, so I refused.But during these past three days, they never stopped sending me messages if when they could finally see me and the triplets.I picked the cup of coffee on the table and took a slight sip on it, trying to soothe my nerves.“I think I’ll do it.” I took a deep breath, putting the cup of coffee down the table before looking at Marina.“They’re just so… persistent.” I said
LEAH’S POVI stared at his quickly sent reply with a complicated look on my face. But before I could even type another message, my eyes widened when I saw him suddenly calling me.My hands holding the phone slightly trembled. But I shook my head, trying to regain my composure.I cleared my throat, before finally answering.“Sorry for the sudden call.” Brixton’s deep and husky voice rang on the other end of the line, making my heart race even faster.“I was… we were just so happy about it.” It was odd how I could seem to hear his smiling voice at this moment. I didn’t even know how to respond. I felt tongue tied as soon as I heard his voice.“Did I… bother you?”I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts and stopping myself from getting distracted before I finally spoke.“No.” It was all I could manage to say, still feeling perplexed at the sudden call.There was a silence at the other end of the line before I heard some rustling noises. I blinked my eye, but then I heard another voic
LEAH’S POV“Uncle Hudson! Uncle Brixton!”The kids’ excited voices rang out through the area as they called out to them, running towards them with bright smiles on their faces.Hudson and Brixton also started walking towards us, both have gentle smiles on their faces at the sight of the triplets. Once both Calvin and Clyde reached them, they quickly ruffled the two boys’ hair, and I couldn’t help but notice the affection radiating from their every gesture.I slightly tightened my hold on Bella’s little hand as I felt her wanting to rush towards them too.“Be careful, sweetheart.” I murmured softly, gently reminding her not to run off.We all came to a stop in front of Hudson and Brixton. My heart race even faster now that I was already facing them – and the kids too. I tried my best to act normal, but the complicates emotions swirling inside me were hard to ignore.I raised my head and suddenly met Hudson’s gaze. I was slightly taken back when I noticed a glint in his eyes which I cou
LEAH’S POVI watched as Brixton held both Calvin and Clyde’s hands on each side, guiding them as they walked towards the entrance of the place.For a moment, I stood on my spot, unable how to react the sight in front of me. Bella being carried by Hudson, both Clyde and Calvin being held by Brixton… it made a swirl of emotions washed over me.Seeing the children so close to the men who were their fathers, but were so oblivious to that truth, made me feel complicated. A hand seemed to be gripping my heart as I stared at them.“Mom, let’s go!” Clyde’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts.That’s when I realized that they were now looking at me expectantly, they paused on their steps as if waiting for me to come. I was stunned for a moment, but heat quickly rose to my cheeks, but I managed to smile and nod at the kids.“Alright, I’m coming.”The place was quiet and serene, with only the sound of waves and the fresh breeze greeting us. The whole area was beautiful, but there were not many p
THIRD PERSON’S POV“You have a what?!”Penelope’s exclamation echoed through out the room. She was wearing a shocked look on her face as she paced back and forth in front of both Hudson and Brixton who were sitting on both sides of the couch respectively.Her face still held a bewildered look as she stopped in front of them, placing her hand on her hips. “You’re telling me I’m an aunt now?!”Hudson and Brixton exchanged glances. Both were wearing serious yet helpless expressions on their faces.Brixton let out a sigh, crossing his arms. “We’re more surprised than you are when we first found out about it too.”Penelope took a sharp breath, her expression that of exaggeration. “Why didn’t you tell me immediately?”“We wanted to take things in our own hands,” Hudson finally spoke, his tone low and serious. “Besides, we need to take everything slow with her and the kids.”“I thought you’ve just taken an interest in her,” Penelope spoke after a while, narrowing her eyes at them. “I was eve
LEAH’S POV“Mommyyyy!!”I smiled at the sight of the three adorable kids running towards me. I also quickened my steps, finally reaching out to them as they all hugged my thighs.A chuckle escaped my lips as I crouched down, ruffling Clyde and Calvin’s hair and kissing Bella on the cheeks.“Did you have fun?” I asked them in a soft tone, still crouching down as I face them.Bella giggled while nodding. Clyde and Calvin also nodded in full enthusiasm with wide grins on their faces.“It’s super fun! Uncle Hudson and Uncle Brixton brought us to a very wide playground. We also met some new friends there!”“And we eat delicious foods too!”A sudden warmth spread through my chest as I listened to their words. Out of the corner of my eyes, I can see Hudson and Brixton a few feet away from us, standing beside their car.They were also looking towards our direction. So, I stood up, finally glancing towards them.Our eyes met, and for a moment, I felt my heart race once more. Yesterday, I told
LEAH“Mommy… Uncle Hudson and Uncle Brixton are so niceeee! Can they just be our daddy?”Bella’s innocent question struck me like a lightning. My heart skipped a beat a beat, and my mind raced as I tried to process what she had just asked.The three of them were now staring at me, their eyes wide as they waited for an answer I wasn’t even prepared to give.I swallowed hard, feeling my throat tightening. I couldn’t think of any words to respond. But then, Calvin’s soft voice cut through the silence as he stared at his siblings.“But we already have a daddy, right? He’s away at work…” His innocent and thoughtful tone echoed through the room.The three fell silent once more. Calvin’s statement hung in the air, and their little faces were now deep in thought.My heart clenched as I realized the consequences of the lie I had told them in the past – about a daddy was always busy, who was always away and couldn’t come home.“But daddy is always away…” Clyde was the first to break the silence
