Bab 20: Chapter 20: The kids were growing up
They were all sitting in bed baby talking to each other. Mae noticed that I was awake and a huge grin came across her face and she reached out for me. Ava and John noticed Mae and when they had the reason why they wanted a hug also.
This happened every morning. I took them all out of the cot and I sat on the floor. Adam sat in my lap and Ava and Mae, I was hugging. It was hard to not let them feel left out, but I had perfected the technique over the past year. We ended staying on the floor for about an hour, mostly snuggling and reading stories, which they loved.
When I had finished reading "where the wild things are" for the sixth time, the triplets all toddled off to do whatever they wanted. The rest of the day went by uneventful. I cleaned the house, looked after the triplets and looked at some online courses. I had decided that I needed to get a good job, and the kids were growing up…
wow, I sounded like an old lady when I said that. I was watching Play School with triplets when the phone rang. I jogged to the kitchen and picked it up. "Amelia speaking" I answered "Hello Miss Smith, this is Deputy Holland for the local precinct. I was wondering if you know a young man called John Keller?" he asked "Uh, yes" I replied cautiously.
Why was the police asking me if I knew John? "He was picked up last night and needs somebody to come and collect him. He specifically asked for you." I was a little shocked, why had John been arrested? "Is he in any trouble?" I asked "No mam. He spent the night in the drunk tank. We cannot release him unless somebody collects him, he has already paid his bail", "I thought people only had to pay bail if they had to go to court?"
I asked worriedly "It was for a public drinking offense but he won‟t have to appear in court" I sighed in relief. "Ok, I can be there in about half an hour," I said "See you then Miss Smith" and he hung up the phone. I put the phone back on the hook and realized a small problem.
What was I meant to do with the triplets? I couldn't take them to Olivia because I hate her right now, mom was still out of the country and Grace, my sister was in class.
I didn't want to take the triplets to the police station but I couldn't think of anything else to do… Oh well, maybe I could scare them early but teaching them about what happens if you are naughty. It usually takes me about forty-five minutes to get them all ready and to make myself presentable. I managed to get it done in twenty.
I guess I was rushing just a little tiny bit. I strapped them all into their car seats and drove off to pick up the father of my children, the love of my life from jail.
