Love is meant to be an adventure. – Gordon B. HinckleyReese walked into the bedroom carrying a tray with fruit, lean bacon and scrambled egg whites. Usually when he walked in, she would smile at him with her hands on her belly that didn’t seem to stop growing. This morning, she sat up against the headboard with tears streaming down her face. He placed the tray on the dresser and then sat on the bed and gathered her close. “It’s okay, Kitten.”She shook her head as more sobs racked her body. He continued to hold her and murmur soothing words until she finally calmed down.“Tell me what has you so upset.” He whispered.“Your babies are going to be bastards.” She sobbed out and began crying again.“Oh, my sweet Kitten.” He grinned into her hair as he placed tender kisses.He had to wait for the tears to settle down again. “I’m sorry. You probably think I’m crazy.”Reese chuckled. “No more than I did yesterday.” He teased. “But let’s be honest, we

I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding. - John O’DonohueAfter their quick courthouse wedding yesterday with only their kids and Dean, Helen knew that the rest of the month of May was going to be busy. Today, Reese and Helen were having their gender reveal. So far, only Dean and JD knew, and they were so tight lipped that the expectant parents were not even allowed in the big house. Everyone had been referring to them as the latest princesses, and no one even considered that they could be anything other than girls.Next weekend was the family baby shower for Bunny and her men. After the ones from each of the jobs, there was not much more that they needed. But that didn’t matter. The princess club insisted on the party. If for no other reason than the baby to know that she was loved.The last weekend of the month, JD would graduate. This next Tuesday was the athletics banquet with the swim team having theirs on Thursday.

Take pride in how far you’ve come. Have faith in how far you can go. But don’t forget to enjoy the journey. – Michael JosephsonHelen had been an emotional mess all week. Or more like all month. She had married Reese. The princess club was a little upset over not being there when they went to the courthouse but understood. Victoria was already planning their wedding. Helen told her that she didn’t want anything extravagant or expensive. The party planner just laughed and said that Helen would have the wedding of her dreams. It wasn’t until later that Helen found out that Victoria specialized in the extravagant weddings and parties, on the cheap. She sis her own daughter’s Quinceañera for only a few thousand dollars.A few days later Helen and Reese found out she was having not twins, but triplets. A boy, a girl and a mystery. Or as Reese explained it, one of each flavor.After a quick meeting with the architect and his general contractor, a few changes were mad

If you’re completely exhausted and don’t know how you’re going to keep giving this much of yourself day after day, you’re probably a good parent. – Bunmi LaditanReese had known something was wrong when Helen said that her head was still hurting on Monday morning. He made a quick call and explained his fears and the home health nurse headed out to their house almost immediately. By the time Corinda had arrived, Helen had already slipped blissfully into unconsciousness.Dean and JD were hugging each other tightly in the kitchen, concern and fear written on both their faces. Reese stood in stunned silence as the nurse calmly called 911 and ordered an ambulance.Possible placental abruption.It had been one of the issues that Dr. Aberton had warned them about. It was one of the reasons that Helen was considered high risk. It was why she was on bedrest. And why no one would let her do anything unless she was sitting with her feet up.JD pulled out his phone and sent

So many good things come in threes,Like Musketeers and ABC’s.-Larry HowlandThe nurse insisted that Helen go to the nursery in the wheelchair. Reese was quite content to simply carry her. Dr. Aberton stayed out of it, except to point out that it was hospital policy. Neo chuckled at his grumpy friend. “You can probably make a donation big enough to change the policy, but probably not until after she is wheeled down to the nursery to see her babies.”“I hate it when your right.” Reese grumbled as he put his wife in the chair. The nurse gave a light laugh as she connected the IV pole to the wheelchair with velcro straps.“No wonder you’re always angry.” Neo smirked and Jolene popped him on his arm as she snickered his name.“Shut up.” Reese growled.“Children.” Dean laughed.“I just want to go see my babies.” Helen said placing a hand on Reese’s arm. “Our babies.”He knelt next to his wife and cupped her face in his hand. “Anything you w
