GEN II: Chapter 12

Isabel waited patiently for her husband to arrive at the hospital. When her phone rang she began to worry that it was him, and he was calling to tell her he couldn't make it. Or maybe something horrible had happened.

Thankfully when she looked up she saw Hayden. She smiled and told him she was glad he could make it. They went into the hospital to deliver their new baby.

During delivery they got a few surprises. For starters, Isabel was early in her delivery, she had not quite reached full term. The doctor informed them that that was fine. The baby was born after only a few hours of labor and announced a boy. Isabel cried tears of joy and Hayden looked as proud as he possibly could. They both looked at each other and said "James." He was finally here.

"Wait." The doctor said. "You have another one coming, don't get too excited and think you are done!"

The new parents looked shocked. In just a few minutes the shock wore off as the nurse handed them their second baby boy. Hayden seemed very taken aback that they could have twins. He was not expecting that. All the sudden Isabel said she had another contraction coming and she had to push. With that another baby boy was delivered. The doctor came around just in time to help the baby come to the world. Three baby boys, all very tiny. All of the nurses helped clean up each baby and gave them to Hayden and Isabel, then left.

Isabel and Hayden just stared at their babies for a while. A little discussion ended in the babies names. James is the first born, the second would be Cedric and the third would be Charlie. It was time to go home, all five of them. Just as they were leaving, Isabel's phone started to ring, again. She ignored it, she was busy.

**Writers note: Hayden is counting on his fingers right now. I like to think he is counting the number of cribs, toys, and highchairs they will need :-)**

When they all arrived home, it was well into the night. Everyone else seemed to be sleeping. Hayden and Isabel tried to keep the babies quiet, which did not seem to be a problem, as they brought them all to their room.

**The boys' room**

The proud parents cuddled and snuggled each baby in turn and put them in their cribs. They were so happy to finally have their sons here to see that they just stood there and watched them for a while. James, Cedric and Charlie each fell asleep. Isabel admitted how tired she was too. Hayden seemed to snap out of a daze "Oh honey of course you are! Let's get you to bed." He walked with his wife up the stairs and tucked her into bed. Hayden also went to bed himself.

**Aren't they cute?! Each crib was decorated per the babes favorite color. Lavender, Yellow and Purple.**

In the morning Jenni was so excited to see her new grand baby, she went right into the nursery. The sight shocked her for a moment, since she was not at the hospital when they were delivered, she was unaware that there were three. She smiled with delight and picked up Charlie for some love. She played with, looked at and snuggled each. Also fed them bottles. By the time she got to James, she heard Damien moving around the house too. She called him in to meet his nephews. He was a little nervous but gave the boys' each some cuddles as well.











Jenni just couldn't keep her hands off of the babies as the days went by. They boys' were always the first thing for each family member to see in the mornings, and the last at night. James, Cedric and Charlie were lavished with hugs and kisses all day long.


Just a couple days after the birth of his nephews, Damien decided it was time to move on. They needed room in the house for the triplets. That was not the only reason for his moving though. He was a man now, with a job and he needed to be in a house with his own studio. Damien needed room too.

Damien hugged his mother, and said goodbye to Hayden and Isabel. He then called his cab to come pick him up and take him to his new home. Jenni understood why he had to go, and did not try and stop him, but she did cry. She waved to him until she couldn't see him anymore.

**Damien's new home**

The triplets take up most of everyones time everyday. Jenni gives Isabel a break sometimes, and Isabel plays her guitar in the room previously occupied by Crystal. It has been stripped down for now, until someone else moves into it and decorates.



Before Damien left, he gave Jenni one of his favorite paintings to do with what she will. She chose to hang it in the small downstairs hallway, just outside the nursery. She also framed the canvas. Jenni looks at it often thinking about her son.

Jenni still visits Alan and talks to him. This time she has great news to share. She tells Alan of the triplets birth, and that the oldest is named after him. Each boy also inherited Alan's bravery. Jenni is so proud of her family, she feels very fulfilled in life and love.

Jenni went home after visiting the family cemetery and laid on the couch. She had a feeling the triplets would be up soon, and she wanted to let Hayden and Isabel sleep in. They had to go to work today. She fell asleep waiting to hear a noise from the nursery. She dreamed of having a party for the boys, it would be their birthday soon. They just arrived and are already growing so much. That is what babies do, they do not stay babies long.
