“It could be anything really. As long as it had raspberries and was frozen.” I countered his words.
“Yes, but what you really want is raspberry sorbet. I know what you want. I will be right back.”
With that, Joaquin kissed my head and left me in the room. I was bored and had nothing to do until he got back with my sweet treat. And all I really wanted was to be with Aunt Glory and Trevor while they welcomed their twins.

I was still on the eighth floor. The room that Aunt Glory was in just feet away from me while Joaquin went to get my dessert. I didn’t think that anything could happen that was going to make me feel happy or excited until Trevor came out here to tell me that Aunt Glory had given birth to their little baby.
Well, I would have been wrong then, wouldn’t I? Because just moments after Joaquin left, someone came running out of the elevator with something in their arms. It seemed to me like this person was in a panic too.
That was about when I realized that the person running was Athair m貌r. And that the thing in his arms was Daciana. I guess the excitement of the day got to her. She was due in two and a half weeks while Aunt Glory’s due date was actually tomorrow.
“Well, I guess this is going to be a busy day for Griffin and Lana.” I grinned at Athair m貌r as he ran toward me.
…..
“Where is Griffin? Which room? I need to have him help Daci too!”
“I know, Athair m貌r. I can see that.” I laughed at him and his urgency. “Go to the second door on the right. That one is empty. I will send Griffin over soon.”
I started to push myself away from the table and toward the room that Aunt Glory was in. I knocked lightly but then pushed the door open. I wasn’t going to be a brat and go into the room, but I needed them to hear me at least.
“Griffin!” I called out to him.
“Riviana, I told you not to come in here.” He snapped at me.
“Oh, I know that. That is why I am not in there. However, I have a message for you.” As I told him this, I was already making a door from this room to the next one. It was going completely unnoticed by them all though. They were a little busy getting Aunt Glory settled into the bed and hooked up to the monitors.
“And what might that message be?” He looked up at me with curious eyes.
“Oh, just that Daciana is in the room next door to this one. She’s in labor as well.”
“WHAT!?”
“WHAT!?”
“WHAT!?”
“WHAT!?” That word was echoed four times by Griffin, Lana, Trevor and Aunt Glory. They were all in shock.
“Yes, I sent her in there with Athair m貌r. And I made a nice convenient door for you to go between rooms. It’s right over there. Now, take care of my family, please. I can’t wait to meet these babies.”
“Yes, sure thing Riviana.” Lana grinned.
“Looks like it’s going to get busy here, sweetheart.” Griffin added as he looked at her.
“Yup. But that is fine.” Lana was even more happy. There was yet another baby that she was going to get to see soon.
I rolled myself away from the door and was on my way back to the table when Joaquin came off the stairs.
“RIVI!” He snapped at me.
“You’re lucky I knew you were here. If you would have scared me then I might have gone into labor too.” I grinned at him. “I don’t think that Griffin could handle that many at once.”
“Huh?” Joaquin looked at me awkwardly as he pushed the wheelchair back to the table and set a glass jar filled with homemade raspberry sorbet on it in front of me.
“Well, Athair m貌r came running up a few minutes ago. He had Daciana in his arms and she is in labor as well. It looks like it’s going to be a busy afternoon for Griffin and Lana.”
I thought it was wonderful. These babies, cousins that they were, would share a birthday. That would bond them in another way and make them almost like triplets. Like my upcoming babies. I just thought that it was going to be something really nice and sweet for them to share.
I know that I said that I didn’t want the triplet to be born on the same day as Reagan and Rika, but that was different. That was taking a day that was for the twins and making them share it with their three brothers. These three babies though, they would share it from birth and would not any other way than how it was now.
“Well, Riviana, this was another exciting baby shower. However, I can honestly say that this one is a lot better than the one for Reagan and Rika. I do not, and I repeat, DO NOT, want to go back to the hospital with you after another baby shower. I do not, in any way shape or form, want you to get sick and look like you are going to die like you did back then.” He was still scarred from that, obviously.
“I’m sorry, Joaquin.” That was all that I could say right now.
“Oh no, what are you going to do now?” He clearly thought that I was planning on repeating history.
“Ha ha ha, I am not planning anything Joaquin. I am just apologizing for what happened back then. You need to stop worrying about me so much. I am fine and I am not going to let anything happen to me or our babies.”
