Babies, Babies, Everywhere
She was not prepared for this, there was no way she was prepared for it. Her eyes turn to the two girls who are also there with her and both are smiling, holding their own stomachs.
"How freaked out are they going to be when they find out?"
That was the baby of the group twenty one year old Stephani, twenty three year old Crystal was just smiling while twenty four year old Spencer was freaking out.
"This can’t be happening."
"Why not Spencer? Why can’t it happen? What’s wrong?"
"I’m not ready for this."
Spencer’s blue eyes had tears in them and Stephani and Crystal both wrap their arms around their friend.
"And I am? Spencer I’m barely twenty-one but I know that this is what I want, this is what I want to happen. Nick’s only twenty. Do you really think he is ready? You’re the oldest, and if I can do it so can you Spencer. I promise."
"What is Kevin going to say?"
Spencer is rubbing her hand over her stomach she had only been married for three years, Crystal two and a half, getting married less than six months after Spencer had, and Stephani was married for less than a year. The girls were not only best friends but they were also sisters-in-law. Spencer married the oldest brother Kevin when she was 21 and he was 23. Crystal married Joe when the pair were 20 and Stephani had married Nick when she was 20 and he was 19. And now all three girls had something else in common. All three were pregnant with their first child. Barely two months along but they were pregnant there was no doubt there. Spencer got horrible Morning Sickness, Stephani got horrible all day sickness, and Crystal had odd cravings.
"I really could use some French fried and apple sauce."
Stephani’s face grows a shade of green and she runs from the room at the sound of Crystal’s newest addiction. When she returns a minute later she is holding her stomach tighter and frowning deeply.
"Are you sure I can’t vomit the baby up? Dear god I puke enough I might as well."
"You can not puke up a baby. Stephani I swear you are like five."
"No but I feel like when I was five and had to get hospitalized."
"They are going to be shocked…"
"To say the least."
"Let’s get them all together to tell them together."
"Do you really think that is a good idea?"
"Yea… and we need Frankie there and the parents. I think that’s best."
"Oh man."
"Oh man. Oh man."
"Oh man. Oh man. Oh man."
Spencer shoots a look at Stephani and the younger girl blushes slightly rubbing her thumb without thought over her stomach. The girls leave together, getting in their separate cars, calling their husbands and telling them they need a family meeting involving the whole family.
When they pull into the house they spot everyone’s cars there and Stephani lets out a loud breath afraid slightly about what is going to happen when their family hears the news. They walk inside and Spencer is wrapped into a hug and deep kiss by Kevin, Joe gives Crystal a little peck on the lips, and Stephani stops Nick from kissing her shaking her head and running to the bathroom. Nick looks shocked and the girls make little faces before waiting for Stephani to return. When she does she is a lot paler and still rubbing her stomach gently.
"Baby what’s wrong?"
"Um actually we all have something to tell you guys."
"Is it good?"
Joe’s question causes the three girls to look at one another and smile widely.
"Yea it is really good news."
"How good?"
"Joe just let us tell you the news!"
"Sorry."
"Okay um… who wants to say it?"
"Why don’t we all say it?"
"Okay…"
"Okay we felt that we had to share this will of you at the same time."
"I’m pregnant."
All three girls speak the words and it only takes a minute for the boys to react. Joe starts to hyperventilate, Nick rushes over and wraps his arms around Stephani lifting her into the air, and Kevin looks shocked at Spencer.
"Okay this is not the reaction I was expecting."
Spencer is looking worried at Kevin who still is just staring at her.
"Kevin… Kevin… you hoo! PAUL KEVIN JONAS THE SECOND."
Stephani’s snap brings Kevin out of his trance and he looks at her slowly.
"Your wife just told you that she was pregnant you might want to do something other than stare at her."
"Sorry. I just wasn’t expecting it. All three of you pregnant at the same time?"
"Yea. The doctor says we’re all about two months pregnant. Which basically means we’re due are the same time. As in all three of you are going to have children at the same time."
Spencer’s words cause all three boys to turn and look shocked at her. She didn’t expect that reaction any more than she expected Kevin’s earlier reaction.
"I’m gonna be a uncle."
"Three times over."
Crystal laughs at Frankie’s words and looks at Spencer who is biting her lip and frowning at Kevin.
"Baby we’re gonna have a baby. Are you sure we are ready for this?"
"No. I told the girls I wasn’t but they seem convinced I am."
"Spencerkat! You are ready for this! I promise you."
Spencer frowns deeply and lets out a deep breath hoping that Stephani was right.
At three months Spencer finds out she is having one child, while Crystal is having two and Stephani is having three.
At four months, Stephani is huge, Spencer is barely showing and Crystal is sporting a bump.
At five months they find out what each one is having.
At six months Spencer starts to decorate the baby nursery, Crystal has to have help to walk around, and Stephani gets put on bed rest.
At seven months Crystal gets put on bed rest, in the same room as Stephani so they can talk all the time, Spencer and Kevin start to pick out baby names and Stephani gets really annoyed with being pregnant.
At eight months Spencer gets overly emotional and cries all the time, Crystal goes into false labor and Stephani spends her time trying to figure out how not to have to pee every two seconds.
At nine months all three girls feel huge and don’t want to talk to their husbands anymore. Stephani keeps telling Nick that she is never talking to him again, Crystal just groans and moans whenever Joe comes around, and Spencer just glares at Kevin until he goes away.
At 2:35 AM one day Stephani starts to scream causing Crystal to wake up. The brunette looks at her black haired friend and then presses the call button for a nurse. The nurses come in and explain that Stephani is most likely in labor and lead the younger girl off to a surgical room, knowing that their may be complications because the amount of babies she is having.
At 6:45 AM the same day Spencer is rushed to the hospital after her water breaks. She is taken to a delivery room, Kevin, Joe and Nick all following after.
At 7:15 AM Nick gets told that Stephani is in delivery and runs to find his wife not wanting to miss the birth of their children.
At 9:30 AM Crystal follows in suit and goes into labor, also going to a surgical room because one of the twins is breech.
At 1:29 PM Stephani starts to scream the meanest words she has ever said at Nick, because he was the reason that she was going through this pain.
At 4: 27 PM Spencer is told that she is fully dialated and can have her baby at any time.
At 7:05 PM all three girls have their first child.
At 7:10 PM Crystal has her second baby.
At 7:20 PM Nick gets kicks out of the surgical room, something is going wrong.
At 7:22 PM Nick & Stephani’s second child is delivered by c-section.
At 7:25 PM the last of the Jonas babies to be born that day emerges.
At 7:30 PM there is still no news about Stephani and everyone starts to worry.
At 7:35 PM Stephani is wheeled out of the operating room, okay just a bit droopy.
The three girls get put in the same room and as soon as is allowed all of their children join them. Spencer is smiling happily at the gorgeous little girl in her arms, and is finally talking to her husband.
"Our gorgeous daughter."
"Almost as gorgeous as you."
A look around the room spots smiles from everyone in the room. Stephani and Nick are looking excited at their three babies, two boys and a girl. While Crystal and Joe are smiling at their two daughters.
"Babies, babies everywhere, lets hope more for you and me."
