It was easier than expected to feed two babies than it was to change one of their diapers. Still, this was something I was going to have to get used to. “I am going to put some supper in the oven. Kristen should be here soon and we will take off.” Alec got up and put Elaina down in the bassinet.
“You guys can stay for supper.” It didn’t feel right to just kick them out.
“Afraid you can’t handle the babies if Penny doesn’t wake up?” Alec teased.
“You have one baby. I have three. You can stay the night and see how good you are then.” I pushed back. Getting up, I put the boys back in the bassinet since I needed to pee.
“Excuse me. I have a baby and a Kristen.”
Grabbing the door, I couldn’t help but laugh as I walked in. “Poor thing.” I teased in a baby voice.
After peeing, I was washing my hands when I heard the front door open and close quietly. There was some muted whispering that I couldn’t make out but when I came out, Kristen had put little Adalynn in the bassinet with the triplets and was walking to the kitchen. Alec was taking a deep breath.
“What’s up?” I asked. Looking over the bassinet, Adalynn looked so similar to the boys. Elaina got a little more of her mother but the boys were all me and Adalyn looked like her mother.
“Just pack drama.” Alec waved me off.
“We should get a DNA test done on them. Since we are identical twins, we share the same DNA. That means you are both the father to my kids and I am the mother to those triplets!” Kristen gave me a look before retreating back to the kitchen.
“Is that how that works?” Alec asked quietly.
“I think it would be they would show up as more half siblings than anything but I guess technically yeah. Adalyn should genetically be considered the triplet’s half siblings.” I wasn’t completely positive on that but I knew it was something along those lines.
“Whatever you say?” Alec rolled his eyes walked into the kitchen.
“Colt. Why don’t you go lay down with Penny and We will watch the kids?” Ice offered.
I wasn’t sure what to say. Walking into the kitchen, Alec was on a stool, looking at his phone and Ice was chopping some fruit. “I…”
“After what you guys been through, you need some quiet time with Penny. Let me watch the kids. We won’t leave the house and if we need you I will come get you.”
She wasn’t wrong. Everything in me wanted to lay down next to Penny but I had kids now and my heart was torn. “Are you sure?”
Kristen smiled at me. “Of course. Get going!” She took the knife and motioned for me to leave with it. Smirking, I gave her a kiss on the forehead and headed up stairs.
