Chapter 16: Are They Triplets

I could see that this was possibly going to take a while, so I picked up the kids and put them in their room upstairs so they could „nap‟. As I made my way back to the kitchen I could already hear them yelling at each other.

I was surprised that Jay had not said anything yet. I walked into the room and it became very clear why he had not or more like couldn't…

John had Jake pinned to the wall, his arm across Jake's neck. "John put him down," I said sternly using the voice I used for the triplets when they were misbehaving. John looked over at my face and hesitated. I raised my eyebrows, daring him to be an idiot, and he reluctantly dropped Jake to the ground.

"Now, what the hell are you two yelling about? I get that it is a small world" referring to the fact that they are both roommates at college "but you are both adults, do you think that you might want to grow up?" "He started it" whined Jacob "John," I asked questioningly

"He is a dick" was all he replied, still glaring at Jacob I sighed. "Ok, yes. I knew that a while ago. Now, both of you act like men and tell me what the hell is wrong with both of you. If you don‟t…"

I finished of dangerously. I was now glaring at them both. I mean, they were twenty-one years old; adults. You would have thought that they would‟ve grown up already, but now they acted like my kids.

"Look I am leaving anyway" squeaked Jacob turning and running for the door. I seriously hoped that my kids didn't inherit ANY of his characteristics. "AND" he called, "I am NOT the father of your kids!

I would talk to your so-called best friend; she is protecting the real dad" and with that he walked out leaving me with a choked look on my face, feeling like my world was falling apart. No way would Olivia lie to me, right?

I mean, who was so important that she would lie to me? I felt a hand reach for my shoulder and I turned to see that John was standing there looking at me, judging if I was ok. I wasn't ok.

"Excuse me" I mumbled I went into the study to find the home phone. I was calling Olivia. I did not know. I dialed the number shakily. "Olivia speaking" came the chirpy voice.

"Olivia. It is Amelia… Can you come over?" I asked shakily "G? What‟s wrong? Are they triplets?" she worried "It is about them yeah" "Ok, stay calm, I will be there in a few" she replied.
