Pregnant At Seventeen Of Triplets

I screamed, my hands balling into fists, if only I was closer, then I would hit him. His face was turning an interesting shade of red, oh, now purple. "Hey don‟t-" "What in Lord‟s name is going on? I can hear you both down the hall" yelled my mom.

She walked in carrying a cup tray full of Ice Tea and a bag of muffins. "Hell mom what did you expect to happen? We say sorry and fall in love all over again?" I said mirthlessly "No, I thought that you would at least both act your age.

The very idea that you are both parents, scares the hell out of me" she said shaking her head, putting the food and drink on the table at the other end of my room. "I am a good mother thank you very much" "Oh, yes. I know you are".

She stopped and sat down looking weary. "Amelia I haven‟t made your choices for you. When you went ahead and had not one, but three babies-"

"I only thought I was having two" I mutter "I let you do what you thought was the right thing" she said ignoring my interruption, "When you wanted to leave and live away from home and go to medical school I didn't stop you, I said I would do whatever you needed me to do. But this is where I put my foot down.

You and John are going to spend the next three weeks together. I will look after the triplets." She dropped the bomb and went back to sorting through the food.

"How many sugars?" she asked me and John, whose mouths were hanging open in shock. No way in hell! Three days later, my mom was still hell-bent on this whole "lets John and Amelia back together and again" plan.

To make things worse, Sophia and Justin were too busy making out to save me! They were in this rose-colored love haze to notice, or at least Justin is. Sophia turned around said that everyone deserved to be in love, urgh.

I may need to plan a little revenge later. Mwahaha. So here I am watching my mom pack me three weeks worth of clothing, most of which she went out with Sophia to buy because it wasn't "intimately" enough.

I haven‟t been allowed to see it yet, it worries me. However, we were being driven by a much too happy Justin to the love nest‟, (no kidding that is what Sophia calls it). Mom said that it was a small cabin that she bought a few years ago; she had never had the chance to use it. "Mom I am telling you, I do not want to go! It will be three weeks of nonstop yelling and fighting!!"

I complained "Amelia, there will only be so much fighting and yelling if neither one of you puts in a decent effort to get along. Just, look… if you aren't going to do this for you and John then think about your three kids. Think about Ava, Mae, and Adam.

They have grown up mostly without their dad because their mom and dad, A.K.A you and John, are too lazy to give it a real go!" I looked at my mom in astonishment. She had never spoken to me like that.

At the same time, I felt some truth in what she was saying. I sighed; maybe we should give it a go, if not for us, but the kids. "Ok, I will give it a go, but I am not promising for John, or that it will work"

"That‟s, funny. That is what he said." With that she left the room with a packed case of Lord knows what and a grin on her face. I stared after her and sighed once again. That was my mom. I smiled and followed her out to meet the rest.

Three hours later I am ready to tie John up by his ankles and let the animals eat him alive. We haven‟t even arrived at the cabin yet and he is driving me up the wall.

First off with his music. I mean come on! Country? Not just any country music, a country with a hint of heavy metal, I didn't even know that there was a type like that and wish I have never been forced to discover it! At this point, Sophia and Justin were both thoroughly amused.

They were laughing at my discomfort! "John will turn off that mother f**king awful music!" I screeched; I had enough. "What?" he asked confused "That music is horrible!" I said slowly like he was mentally ill He looked at me with shock clear on his face.

"This music is epic! It is classic, how can it horrible" "It sounds like-" "Ok, enough. Helen said that you are both meant to be trying to get along, so can you? It isn't like it is forever…" Justin said resigned The rest of the car ride was quiet.
