Kiersten:

"Niall!" I gasped when we met up in the kitchen. I had Aideliz on my hip and Niall had Finn on his. "Look how cute these two would be together!" I said standing next to him so the two toddlers were next to each other.

"Sorry babe. I think Finny here already has his eye on that Tomlinson girl. He gave her his cookie earlier." He laughed, "That's big in toddler world you know."

"Finn!" I gasped, "You little flirt." I said pinching his cheeks making him giggle. "Sorry Aideliz, you're outta luck cutie pie." I said blowing a raspberry on her cheek making her giggle but then she went quiet.

"Mommy." She whined resting her head on my shoulder.

"Alright let's go find Mommy." I said and set off to find Leslie. I eventually found her and Drew talking with Louis and Eleanor. I gave Leslie her kid back before I continued making my way around the room making sure to talk to everyone who came to the party.

"Kiersten, honey," Maura said coming out of nowhere, "Have you eaten anything love?"

"Yes Maura," I laughed.

"Well go eat some more. That baby is half Niall after all." She said pushing me towards the food table making me laugh even more.

I got to the food table and found Niall there getting food. "Did you lose your friend?" I asked kissing his cheek.

"Yeah," Niall laughed, "He pooped his pants so his mum had to change 'em...I think I could use some older friends."

I laughed and wrapped my arms around his middle while he wrapped his around my shoulders, holding me to his body, "Are you excited?" I asked as he kissed to top of my head.

Niall nodded, "Yeah I can't wait. What about you?" He asked rubbing my back.

"I'm a little nervous to be honest."

"Why's that, baby?" He asked looking at with concern.

I shrugged, "I think that once we know the gender it's real. Like we'll have a baby shower, and we'll go shopping for baby stuff. And I'm scared."

"Why are you scared?" He asked pulling away from me a little bit and stroking my cheek with his thumb.

"What if I'm a bad mom?" I asked tears springing to my eyes.

"Oh baby," Niall chuckled pulling me into his chest, "There is no way you're going to be a bad mum. You're going to be a wonderful mum, I promise. If one of us is going to be a bad parent it's probably going to be me. You're probably going to have to save my ass all the time.

I shook my head, "No! You're going to be a great dad!" I cried. "I'm crying and I don't even know why!" I groaned wiping my tears away quickly.

"Okay, baby, let's go upstairs for a minute." He said pulling me towards the elevator. "Mum," He said getting his mom's attention.

"Is everything okay? What's wrong?" She asked panicking when she saw me with tears running down my face.

"We're just a little emotional, right now. We're going to sneak upstairs and calm down. We'll be back down soon." He said and escorted me to the elevator.

We got up to our bedroom and Niall gently sat me down on the couch that we had in our room. "Thanks, Ni." I said trying to wipe away my tears.

"You're welcome, baby. I want you to be comfortable, always." He said sitting down next to me. "Do you think our baby is going to like me?" He asked resting his hand on my stomach and almost immediately the baby kicked his hand making the both of us smile.

"I think you just got your answer." I whispered pecking his lips. "The baby loves you, Niall. We both do."

He grinned at me, "Just think in less than an hour we'll be able to say he loves you, or she loves you."

I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder, "Let's wait a couple more minutes before we go down okay?" I asked letting out a little yawn and closing my eyes.

"Okay, whatever you want baby." He said pecking my lips. We sat up there for a few more minutes before we made our way back downstairs with our hands intertwined.

"Are you ready?" My mom asked me and I nodded hugging her and then we went over to the table set up.

"Harry why don't you go get the cake," Maura said and he nodded quickly before going out to the garage where he had hid the cake from people's prying eyes.

"Are you ready for this?" Niall asked kissing my temple as people took pictures of us. I nodded and pecked his lips trying to keep my nerves down.

"Give him a real kiss!" A very Louis Tomlinson voice yelled out from somewhere in the room making everyone laugh and yell, "Do it!"

Niall laughed and put his hands on my hips and pulled me into a deep passionate kiss making everyone cheer.

Harry brought in the pale pink box that had our cake in it and I grabbed Niall's hand tightly. "I don't know if I'm ready." I whispered in Niall's ear.

"You're ready baby." He whispered back, "You're ready to find out whether it's our little boy in there or our little girl." He said rubbing my back giving me some assurance.

"Okay." I nodded, "Let's do this."

Maura lifted the cake up and out of the box and I furrowed my eyebrows when instead of the one large cake that was supposed to be there, there was three smaller cakes.

"Uh...this is the wrong cake." I said glancing up at Harry.

"No it's not." He said shaking his head, "Just cut them, love." He said nodding towards the cakes.

I glanced nervously at Niall not really sure what the three cakes meant. "Uh you take one, I'll take one and we'll do the other one together?" I asked. He nodded looking just as confused as I felt.

"I love you," He whispered in my ear pressing a kiss to my cheek, "No matter what happens I will always love you."

"I love you too." I whispered back squeezing his fingers before taking one of the knives that Maura had grabbed from the kitchen.

I carefully slid my knife through the moist cake and saw blue. "It's blue. A boy." I said looking at Niall.

"Mines blue too." He said and I could feel everyone watching us trying to figure out exactly what was going on. We cut open the third cake together and Niall looked at me, "It's blue...so does this mean that there's three babies in there? Three boys?" He asked.

"I don't know. I'm so confused." I mumbled staring at the three blue cakes that were in front of us.

"Here," Harry said suddenly appearing next to me. He handed me the envelope that the doctor had given us.

I quickly opened it and quickly scanned the paper that told me that I was having triplets and that all three of them were boys. There was also a note from the doctor saying that I needed to make an appointment with him as soon as possible because we had a lot to talk about because there was a lot of risks going on when you were pregnant with triplets.

"Holy fucking shit." Niall said behind me and then there was a thud. I turned around and gasped when I saw Sean and Harry carefully picking up a passed out Niall.

"Niall!" I yelled running after him, but Louis and Darragh stopped me and found me a chair to sit down in.

"He's fine, love. Just a little overwhelmed, and you are too." Louis said smoothing down some of my hair.

"I'll go get you some water, babe." Darragh said kissing my head before disappearing into the kitchen.

"Triplets, Lou, Triplets." I mumbled holding his hand. "Boys, three boys, all at one time."

Louis chuckled, "You and Niall always have to show everyone up babe. You can't just have the first boy, you have to have the first three boys. I know that it seems overwhelming right now but you've got the best support system in the world behind you. Look at these people." He whispered in my ear pointing to the people who were hovering over both Niall and I making sure that we were okay. "Plus like fifty million girls who I'm sure would be very, very, happy to babysit for you." He said making me laugh.

"Thanks, Lou." I said kissing his cheek just as Darragh came back with the water.

"Sorry," he chuckled, "There were like six people trying to get glasses of water for that idiot lying on your couch over there." He said nodding to where Niall was lying down.

I laughed and graciously took the water chugging it down trying to calm my rapid heartbeat. Triplets, I knew that multiples were common with fertility treatments, but I never thought that it would happen to me. I knew that I would have to Niall about the treatments. "Thank you. Can you bring me over by him?" I asked and they nodded helping me up and walking me over to sit by Niall's head. I gently ran my fingers through his hair as people talked to me and I found myself getting more and more excited to be having triplets. By the time Niall woke up I was ecstatic, terrified, but ecstatic.

"Babe?" Niall asked his eyes fluttering open and everyone quickly left us alone, knowing that we had a lot to discuss.

"Hey," I smiled pecking his nose.

"I just had the weirdest dream." He said scooting up so his head was in my lap. "So it was our gender revealing party and we found out we were having triplets." He laughed.

"Niall..." I said looking down at him.

"That wasn't dream was it?" He asked.

I shook my head, "No. You read the paper from the doctor and then passed out."

"Wow, that's embarrassing." He mumbled.

I smiled, "Are you okay with it, like you're not going to leave me?" I asked timidly.

Niall quickly sat up before cupping my face in his hands, "No, baby. No, never ever. I was just overwhelmed, that's all. I went from being the dad of one baby to being the dad of three babies. I'm happy babe. So happy." He said pressing a gentle kiss to my lips. "Three boys baby, our three boys are in there." He said putting his hand on my belly. And we felt a kick to where his palm was placed.

I felt tears spring to my eyes and Niall put another hand on my belly on the other side of it and there was another kick there. "There's another one." I whispered looking into Niall's watery blue eyes.

"Or he just has your legs." He laughed nudging his knee against mine.

I laughed, and leaned forward kissing his lips, "I love you Niall." I whispered.

"I love you too, Kiersten. And our little boys." He said bending down to press a kiss just above my belly button.

"Should we go back to the party?" I asked running my fingers through the hair on the back of his head.

He nodded kissing my lips once more before helping me up of the couch. He laced his fingers in mine giving them a loving squeeze as we walked back into the room where everyone else was. "So, now that I passed out what do you say we eat this cake?" He asked making everyone cheer.

The rest of the party was spent of people making arrangement for the baby shower and talking about how they couldn't believe that I was pregnant with triplets and making plans. They decided that they were going to have it only a few days later before my family all went home and stuff. Obviously there were people who wouldn't be able to stay.

It was hunting season so Leslie, Drew, and Aideliz had to go back and then a few other people who had work and stuff.

Everyone eventually went to bed and Niall and I did too. I heaved myself up onto the high bed and on top of Niall making him laugh, "I can't believe you still do this." He said helping me over to my side of the bed.

"I thought I should do it up until I become a giant beached whale." I said snuggling under the comfy blankets and pulling them up to my chin.

"Oh stop." He said rolling his eyes and leaning down to peck my lips before turning off the lamp on the bedside table and wiggling his way under the blankets. I was already almost asleep in my favorite position, on my back with my arms above my head, and Niall rolled over onto his stomach burying his face in my neck and resting a protective arm across my stomach. "I love you." He whispered pressing his lips to my neck.

"I love you to, Niall." I whispered just before my eyes closed and I fell asleep.

The next day Niall and I went to the doctor to talk about how I was having triplets and exactly what that meant. "Kiersten! Niall! Hi!" The doctor said grinning at us. The doctor was a really nice man who had been at the hospital for a long time. He was happy all of the time and had experienced many multiple births so he was experienced, which Niall and I were both really happy about. "I'm so excited for this!" He smiled, "I've heard all about your story and I'm so happy to have the opportunity to help you have three healthy babies!" He smiled.

Niall and I were both grinning and Niall kissed my temple. "We're really excited," He said and I nodded in agreement.

"Now, I'm sure you're aware that triplets are a very, very high risk pregnancy," He started and Niall and I both nodded. "Looking at the ultrasounds and all of your stats and everything, we're recommending that you be on bed rest by the 15th of December."

"That's a month from now!" I said my eyes widening.

The doctor nodded, "I know, and I know that it's hard but you have to remember that there are three growing babies inside of you." I nodded and he continued talking, "So, because of that I would recommend getting all of your planning and designing and shopping and such done before that date reaches. Niall, you're going to have to make sure that she stays in bed."

"Can I stay there with her? Bed rest sounds good to me too." Niall said making the doctor laughed and I hit him in the arm.

"Now your original due date was in March correct?" I nodded, "Yeah, I'm just going to be blunt and tell you that it's not going to happen. My guess is the end of January, just looking at the placement of the babies, I don't think that they will be able to move around much when they get bigger. Now, here's the thing about the end of January. That's approximately seven weeks early, there is a chance that they could be in the hospital for quite a while, because of various health problems that can come from them not being fully developed. Weekly checkups are a requirement with me, especially with such a high risk pregnancy. I'll send you home with a packet of information that will give you more information on the whole thing. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, when you're here or give me a call at any time."

"Thank you so much." I said standing up to shake his and Niall did the same.

"The nurse will take you to get your ultrasound set up and I will be there in just a minute." He smiled and we were escorted to another room where they put me in a hospital gown and got me all set up on the table. "Alright let's see those babies." The doctor grinned coming into the room.

He squirted the cool gel onto my belly and started moving the little tool around letting us hear the heartbeats as he tried to find them on the screen, "Um, I have a question." I said.

"Yes?" The doctor asked smiling at me.

"When we had our second ultrasound a couple weeks ago the doctor said that the heartbeat seemed a little off, is that because there were three heartbeats?"

The doctor chuckled, "Yes, he knew that you didn't want to know right then that you were having triplets so he made up a different excuse. The reason that the heartbeat sounded off was because you were hearing three. Alright, would you like to see them?"

I nodded and squeezed Niall's hand making him reach over and kiss the top of my head, "We're ready." Niall smiled.

"Okay," The doctor smiled back, "There's one here on the right side," He said pointing to the screen. "Let's call that baby A, there's one over here on the left, baby B, and baby C is behind the two of them. With the way they are positioned you will probably be able to feel the baby kicking you in the back. Now, I know that doesn't seem possible, but it's not uncommon especially with triplets. Have you felt them kick or move around at all yet?"

Niall and I both nodded, "Yeah, we have, they kick Niall's hands a lot when he put them on my stomach. And sometimes it feels like their fighting or something."

The doctor laughed, "Well there a lot of boys in there that's not really a surprise." He said making us laugh, "Do they keep you up at night?"

I shook my head, "No, I've been so exhausted that I usually fall right to sleep."

The doctor nodded, "Okay, well just be prepared for that to change. Hopefully your babies will all like to sleep at the same time, though I'm not promising that will be at night, and you'll be able to sleep sometime, but that's unlikely. So my advice is, sleep when you are tired. Don't try and stay up, because you might not be able to get any sleep later on. Have you had any really abnormal aches and pains that you're concerned about?"

"Well, back when I was in high school I dislocated my hip and then got Lymes disease and it still affects me every once in a while but I've been feeling a lot of pain on it, recently."

The doctor slid over to folder on the desk and flipped through, "Okay I see that. You've been advised to not to any extensive running and activities that need your hip. Well, one baby is pretty strenuous on your hips but three is going to be even worse." He took a deep breath, "You're probably not going to like me for his, but dislocating or hurting your hip is not going to help anything, so I'm going to put you on bed rest at the end of this month."

"What?!" I asked shocked. "That only gives me two weeks to get everything done!"

The doctor sighed grabbing my hand, "I know, Kiersten. I know that it's frustrating but I really don't want you to have to deal with a dislocated hip and being pregnant with triplets. Okay, love? I'm doing this for the safety of you and your babies."

I nodded, "I understand."

"Now, would you like some pictures and a DVD of your ultrasound?" He asked and Niall and I both nodded eagerly while they got us all set up to go home.

"Want to go to that diner by our old flat?" Niall asked holding my hand as we left the doctor's office.
