“Actually,” Isabella interrupted them, “Multiple pregnancies occur when more than one embryo implants in your womb. This can happen if you release more than one egg during the menstrual cycle and each egg is fertilized by a sperm. Sometimes, a fertilized egg spontaneously splits into two, resulting in identical embryos…. ” she paused, looking at her parents unsure, “Should I go on?”
Reina glared at her, “Are you trying to say I’m responsible for this?” What an unfaithful daughter, Isabella was supposed to be on her side.
“I’m saying you both are responsible for this – “
” ‘This’ – are your unborn siblings,” Niles made sure she understood.
“Yeah, congratulations on expanding the family voluminously,” Isabella said with a hint of sarcasm.
“I think you’re just jealous that all attention would be fixed on our future siblings,” smart Allen blurted out and one should see the intensity of the glare Isabella gave him. If her eyes were lasers, Allen would have been long dead.
The boy shrank back, gulping down the rest of his words. His sister was really scary.
“Congratulations on your pregnancy,” Isabella simply said to her parents with a bow.
Reina asked her, “Tell me truthfully, Isabella, don’t you like the fact that I’m pregnant,”
All eyes rested on Isabella as they waited for her answer.
“You want my answer?”
“Yes, I do,” Reina said firmly.
“And what would you do if I say I don’t like it? Would you abort the baby?”
“Isabella!” Niles stepped in. He couldn’t understand his daughter at all. This was a piece of good news, why wasn’t she happy for him like the others?
However, Reina gestured him to calm down, “Let’s hear our daughter out,”
And just like that, Niles calmed down – he forced himself to.
“Truthfully, I’m not happy,”
Everyone gasped at the revelation. What was wrong with Isabella? Why wasn’t she happy? It’s her half-siblings for crying out loud.
She went on, “Unlike normal people, I foresee my future, know my targets and limitations and plan ahead. That is the same way with my affection, I have to sort out my enemies and loved ones and place them on two different lanes. However, the family has increased tremendously, now, I would have to magnify my affection as well. Hence, in one word, I’m simply overwhelmed by the news. That’s all.” she sat back down on her seat.
No one said a word after Isabella’s speech, they were dumbfounded. She was not happy but overwhelmed. Does that even make sense?
Niles and Reina stared at each other, their daughter, Isabella, was strange.

The third point of view:
“Isabella!!!” The door was kicked open and someone screamed from behind, almost waking the dead from the grave.
Isabella didn’t have time to react as Anabelle tackled her, the both of them falling to the ground. It all happened in slow motion, all Isabella knew was that for her to turn around, Anabelle flew on her, and now, she was on the floor.
What was Isabella doing here anyway?
Well, she had left her parent’s sleeping quarters to go observe her nightly ritual, leaving her siblings who were still gushing over their unborn siblings – rubbing their hands all over Reina’s slightly flat stomach, placing their head on her stomach, and trying to make up the babies heartbeat, which was kind of stupid.
The kids claimed they would be the ones to name the triplets once they’re born. Allen would name first, followed by Ailee, and last but not the least, Neon named his choice as well. Hence, all of them were excited to begin their research.
She – Isabella – doesn’t even get to name any of the kids. Well, it doesn’t matter anyway, from now to the moment Reina delivers, she has to go prepare her affection. It was three babies, they would require a lot of time and devotion.
“What are you doing, Anabelle!” She tried to push the girl away but that annoying octopus held on to her tight and began to shower her face with kisses.
“Muah! Muah! Muah!” Anabelle could not contain her happiness. She could almost fly! “I’m so happy!”
“I am not your fucking boyfriend! Stop kissing me!” Isabella growled, wondering where she got this amount of strength – no matter how she pushed Anabelle, she was too strong.
Suddenly, Anabelle stopped and then announced, “My mother is pregnant!” expecting to see a look of astonishment and joy across her cousin’s face. However, all she met was Isabella’s face, void of emotion.
“Of course, I know, so can you please get off me?” Isabella tried to sit up but Anabelle pushed her back down.
Isabella shut her eyes and tried to rein in her anger. Anabelle is her cousin and a friend notwithstanding she’s annoying, Isabelle chanted inwardly so she doesn’t harm her.
“How did you know?” She said it! Isabella was an alien!
“Our parents called us at the same time only to break the news of her pregnancy. Who wouldn’t put two and two together and figure out that was the same case with your parents?” Isabella explained.
“Wait a minute, aunty Reina is pregnant?!” Annabelle screamed. Isabella’s ear almost bled.
Of course, Anabelle had not been able to figure it out, Isabella shook her head in sympathy – not that she had high hopes, anyway.
“Wow!” Anabelle’s joy knew no bounds, “This good news! We are?expecting our siblings at the same time?!”
“Actually, it’s more than one sibling, Reina is having triplets,” Isabella disclosed, rambling on, “Speaking of which, I have to add your future sibling to my list – so tiring, too many people to love. Now get off me!” She tried to push her away but of course, Anabelle stood her ground.
“Oh my gosh!” She was so thrilled, “Your mother is expecting triplets! Isabella, you’re going to become a super big sister! God, I’m so envious! You deserve my respect! Muah! Muah! Muah!” Anabelle continued to pepper her with kisses amid Isabella’s exclamation of disgust and struggles until…
“What’s going on here?” someone asked from behind and both ladies on the floor instantly stiffened. It then dawned on Anabelle that she hadn’t closed the door before deciding to kill Isabella with affection.
Her eyes went wild like a thief caught in the process of theft while her heart thundered in her chest when she recognized that voice, it was none other than Julie, her boyfriend.
At once, Anabelle let go of Isabella, the both of them sat up and stared at their boyfriends standing in their room, staring back at them with suspicion and accusation in their gazes.
