My triplet brought me a husband Chapter 18
KarlI laid on my bed replaying that moment at the beach over and over again. Diamond looked so stunning in that dress, I don’t think she realized just how breathtaking she was. I literally couldn’t take my eyes off her no matter how discreet I tried to be. From the moment she came out of her room, all through the car ride, in the gallery, in the restaurant and on the beach. She had only caught me staring at her on the beach. As the wind blew her hair every which way exposing her long neck which I itched to run my mouth along, I suddenly forgot about the act of being discreet as I was lost in my imaginations. It was only when she looked at me that I realized I had been caught dead. But there was no use trying to pretend I wasn’t just ravishing her with my eyes. And when our eyes locked, I felt all the hair on skin stand—something I had imagined was mutual. And I tried to do the one thing on my mind at that moment, I tried to kiss her but then she pulled away. At first I felt deflate

I spent the better part of my day operating on two patients who had been involved in a pretty nast car accident. By the time they were brought in, they had lost a lot of blood and their vessels were quite weak. But the surgery was their only chance at survival so it had to be done. I was going to add this to the list of delicate moments—and surgeries—I have performed in my life. If one was to ask me and I was supposed to be a hundred percent honest, I would have said that both patients had less than fifty percent chance of survival; especially the young girl who was the victim of an accident caused by a drunk driver. Truthfully, no doctor wants to be associated with failed surgeries, myself included. So why bother taking up a surgery when you are almost certain that it is going to be a lost cause? The reason I began medical school might not have been because I had the passion for it. At first, this was the case. My parents wanted me to follow in their footsteps, to continue their

I waved him goodbye and in less than ten minutes, I was on my way home. Texas might be drama free but the traffic is hell. I spent more than an hour navigating through it and by the time I got back home, the kids were already in bed. I half expected that they would be jumping around in their PJ’s, playing with their Uncle Karl but somehow, Karl managed to put them to sleep. I found Karl watching a sports channel when I walked into the living room. On seeing me, he smiled into my eyes, standing from the sofa. “I’m glad you’re home safely, Diamond. I was worried about you.” “Thank you, Karl.” That was the only thought in my head—thoughts of gratitude. “Thank you for staying up this late for me, for watching over the kids. Thank you for being there for them. Honestly, I don’t know what I would have done without you.” He shrugged his shoulders, that smile not disappearing from his face. “It’s really not a problem, Diamond. I told you, I like doing this—spending time with the boys and

Diamond’s POV‘Say ahhh.’The young boy opens his mouth and I insert the swab into his throat to take a sample of his mucous. After taking the swab, I am to put it into a sample bag and give to the nurse, but instead I just stare at it.‘Dr. Smith’, the nurse calls.‘Oh sorry, take this to the lab and tell them to run a test on it. It’s probably just a bacterial infection but we still need to take precaution.’Take precaution.My mind immediately wanders to Lennox and how much precaution I would take being around him.I can’t do this.I can’t go back there and most importantly, he can’t know about them.‘Doctor?’‘Give him antibiotics, penicillin, to relieve the pain.’‘Alright Dr. Smith.’I hurry back to my office shutting the door behind me. I pull out my chair and sink into it, burying my head in the table. Just then, I hear a knock on the door. The person doesn’t even wait for a reply and enters into my office.Rebecca.Of course and I scoff.‘Are you okay? I saw you rush in here,

Chapter 22Karl’s POV‘A lot of women like lilies.’‘I’m pretty sure women love roses and it has the word sex written all over it.’I said accessing the rose bouquet on the shelf.‘That is if you want to have sex with them.’ Donald nodded his head like I said a bad thing.‘I do want to have sex with Diamond but not now, we have time, so I’ll do this the old fashioned way. Courting.’‘Mr. Kyle? Where are you please?’ Donald said looking at everywhere else but me in a vague search. I laugh and continue grinning like a high school boy about to give a girl flowers for the first time. I sure as hell remember this feeling.I finally settle for lilies since I didn’t want to give off the ‘I want to have sex with you vibes’ so soon. I go to the counter to pay and the woman smiles and says…‘Good choice.’‘Thank you.’We leave the store and walk across the road to where my car was parked.‘Where next, Mr. Kyle?’‘I have no idea and that’s why you are here Donald. Now don’t ask me silly question

Karl’s POVI can’t lose her again. At this point it just feels like the universe is against me.Lennox.I vowed never to speak of that name again. Why does he always find a way to keep interfering with our lives? Even from another damn city.I couldn’t stop thinking about them being together, even if it’s just for work. Knowing Lennox, he’ll want her back or the kids at least. And there is no way Diamond will ever allow him have the kids.If she goes, I lose her.After Diamond broke the news to me, I was devastated, to the point where I couldn’t utter a word. I just stood there staring at her. It all seemed too cruel to be true.The irony.Everything was finally falling into place. I know she said she wasn’t interested in being more than just friends but I can sense that she’s just afraid. I had no intention of pulling away after her rejection. I was going to assure her that there was nothing to be afraid of. That we will keep the past behind us and have a new beginning. But I guess t

Diamond’s POV“Mummy I can’t find my superman PJs”, Hayden yelled from their room.“I’ll come look for it baby.”I was packing for our trip to New York. The boys had scattered their things all over the place making it hard for me to put it all together. Braden and Jayden didn’t need as much assistance as Hayden. Especially Braden.I didn’t know how many things to pack since I had no idea how long we would be gone, so I just ended up packing as much as I could. I shouldn’t have told the boys that too because now they wanted to carry all their stuff. Hayden already had six PJs in his bag but he still wanted to pack the superman PJs.I went to the boy’s room to help them park and search for Hayden’s superman PJs. Who knows, I could even talk him out of carrying it.“Jayden, you all done?”“Not yet Mummy.”“Mummy?”, Braden calls.“Hmm.”“Is Uncle Karl still following us to New York?”, he asks.“Yes baby, he is”, I respond smiling with both ears.And at that exact moment, we hear the honk

Diamond’s POV“How can I help you?”“It is you. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.”The person, whoever it was, just kept staring at me after I had asked her a question. I couldn’t recognize her. Even if it’s been 7 years, I’m a doctor so remembering things is kind of my forte. If I knew her then, I should be able to remember her but the face didn’t ring a bell.“Do I know you?”“Oh sorry, I’m Marylou, Agatha’s friend.”Agatha.That’s the last name I wanted to hear. I looked up at the sky and closed my eyes silently asking God…Can’t I just stay one day in New York without being hunted by my past?It was inevitable anyways. Knowing Agatha, once she learns that I’m back, she would want to confront me. Probably to tell me to stay away from Lennox. Which is exactly what I plan to do. At least for the first time we will be on the same page.Noticing that I didn’t respond, she continued…“I was just driving when I saw you. It’s been so long, what, like 10 years. It’s good to see

Diamond2 years later…I looked around happy with the table arrangement. Lennox would sit beside me of course, the kids and then Karl and Rebecca beside each other. The oven dinged and I went over to check the chicken. Rebecca loves her chicken golden brown and properly crisped, so I left it in for a few more minutes.Rebecca and Karl were coming over for dinner and final preparations for their wedding tomorrow. She had always wanted to go on her honeymoon the night of her wedding, so I won’t get to see her for a while after tomorrow. That only reiterated the need for this dinner. Lennox and I would be hosting them, alongside the kids. We were happily married now and might I say, this two years have been the best of my life. A lot had happened within the span of two years. My parents and I were finally on good terms although we don’t speak frequently because that can’t just change after so many years. I had gotten a permanent job at the hospital. After the incident with Tim, he an

Diamond My hands were trembling as I made my way to Lennox’s room. Karl was behind me and I could sense that he was equally as anxious as I was. Rebecca had gone to inform Lennox’s parents about his condition. I slowly knocked on the door before letting myself in. I turned to see that Karl wasn’t following me in. He nodded and closed the door behind me. Lennox was staring at me intensely as I walked across the room to the bed. “Hey”, I said as I sat beside him. “Hi”, his smile was wide and genuine. He took my hand in his and brought them up to his lips, placing a small kiss on my knuckles. “I was so scared…”, I began as tears filled my eyes, “I’m sorry”, I said cleaning the tears off my eyes. “What are you sorry for, you didn’t do anything” “Exactly, I didn’t do anything. I couldn’t do anything, I…I thought I was going to lose you. I couldn’t bear the thought of not seeing you again, of not having you in my life.” “Diamond…”, he squeezed my hands gently and looked into my

Karl I paced around the hospital hallway after my discussion with the doctor. He had spoken to Diamond first since I was nowhere to be found. After making sure Hayden was alright, I left the hospital to go search for Agatha and Lennox since they both had mysteriously disappeared. Rebecca had to stay with Diamond and the kids for emotional support. But during my vague search, I saw on the news that Lennox had been shot by an ex-convict. I had never been more sacred in my life. I began panicking and stumbled over anything and everything in my way, but I didn’t bother to pick them up. I had been to the bar I met Lennox in. At that point I just searched everywhere Lennox would normally be that I was aware of. The bartender and a few drunk men yelled at me as I exited the bar but I payed no attention to them. I immediately ran to my car, fondling with my keys, before I finally opened it. I hopped in and sped off quickly in the direction of the hospital. A lot of things went through my

DiamondHayden was awake and could finally have visitors. He’d have to stay in the hospital for a few days before he could be discharged. The doctors had to monitor his progress and recovery. “Put that down”, I ordered Braden who was accessing some of the equipment on a tray“I know you’re curious, I was too at your age, but these are sharp objects and not something you play with”, he pouted and stepped away from the tray, “I’ll get a nurse to take the tray out”Jayden was sitting beside Hayden on the bed, he had not left that position since we came in to see Hayden. I hated having to put them through this, it was my mess, they didn’t have to suffer for it too.I left the room to get a nurse to come clear the tray.I was about entering the room when I turned to see Rebecca running to me. She got to where I was standing, breathing heavily.“What’s wrong, Rebecca? Why are you running?”She was still panting heavily but managed to get her words out.“Le...Lennox, he was rushed to the ho

LennoxI had never felt more scared in my life. My heartbeat elevated as we ran into the hospital. I tried to collect my thoughts. I felt so guilty. I never should have let Natalia out of my sight. If anything happened to her it would be my fault and I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.We rushed to the security office. Rebecca was there, in a heated argument with one of the security guards.“What’s going on?”, I asked as we neared them.Rebecca turned to me and said the man wouldn’t allow her see the security footages. I mentally smacked myself in the head, why didn’t I think of this first before running to the police station.Agatha walked passed me and began threatening the guard who seemed unfazed by her words.We had to get permission from the board in other to view the footages but there was no time for that. So I stepped forward willing to plead with the guard. To my surprise he recognized me, and his tone changed to one of respect.“Dr. Winthrop, are you with t

AgathaI wasn’t sure I had heard right.“What did you say?”, I asked, anger and disgust clear in my tone.Diamond stood her ground looking as confident as ever.“You heard me…”“Diamond”, Lennox called and my eyes immediately flew to him.I couldn’t believe it. Lennox was the father of these bastards?How is it even possible?They are probably a year younger than Natalia. So when did it even happen?Where they still seeing each other behind my back?So many questions swirled in my head. I assumed a variety of conclusions.But deep down there was one final conclusion which I didn’t want to accept. And it seemed like the most reasonable…She had gotten pregnant before their divorce.That would mean he didn’t cheat on me or betray me.I turned to look at the two boys with identical faces. I had never seen it before, mainly because I never bothered to observe them, but there was a resemblance to the Winthrops…to Lennox.I shook my head in disbelief.Turning away from the b

DiamondWe were in the waiting room, expecting the feedback from the doctors in the OR.Everywhere was tense. The boys clung to me tightly.Rebecca had gone to get coffee, even though it was pretty late for that.She came into the room with a plastic cup of coffee at hand. She had asked if I wanted some but I declined.She gulped down the entire cup before assuming her position of resting on the wall again. Even when there were many available seats.Lennox was also in the room, although I didn’t dare look at him.Our conversation earlier was pretty heated. And it ended with me leaving the rooftop in tears. I didn’t even know when he entered the room since I was lost in my head.It hurt so much because everything he said was true. I hadn’t really thought about it then. But I could see now that what I did was wrong, not only to Lennox but to my boys too.Could you really blame me though?I was humiliated and I had no one. And my boys deserved the best. They still do.The door

Lennox‘His father’s blood is a match’The words kept replaying in my head. I didn’t understand.Why would the doctor call me Hayden’s father?Maybe he made a mistake.“What are you saying Doc?”, I asked.“Well you know how we are incorporating new technology into every field in this hospital. So we used the STRs for a more accurate and faster result”The STRs…It is a specific genetic marker.That method would not just check the compatibility of the blood group but also genetic similarities.No I couldn’t believe it. I shook my head turning away from the doctor.“Here are the results”, he said for more confirmation.I slowly took them from his hands, eager yet scared to see what it was.I unfolded the paper.Positive…Match…Applicable…He was right. The Doc was right.So many thoughts swirled through my head. I didn’t even know where to start.“You can come in for the transfusion whenever you’re ready”, he said, bringing me back to reality.He turned away from me

Diamond I blinked a million times. Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me. I couldn’t believe that was Hayden on the floor. Rebecca shook me yelling my name before I finally snapped out of it.The realization dawned on me.I quickly ran to Hayden who was lying unconscious. The boys began to cry tugging on Hayden. He was bleeding from his head. I looked up at Natalia, her expression had gone from angry to frightened.I turned to her sharply and yelled.“Why did you do this? Why did you push him?”, I was so furious now I couldn’t think straight.“What the hell is wrong with you?”“I don’t…I” she stammered, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw the blood flowing from Hayden’s head.The boys kept crying now and fought the tears that threatened to fall.I hurriedly carried Hayden in my hands and Rebecca ran to get the keys to the car.No communication was needed.I rushed to the car and placed an unconscious Hayden in the back seat and I hopped in sitting beside him
