Chapter 16 ~
When I woke up I could remember nothing of the night before. I looked over to some cots and saw two little pink babies- my little pink babies. Peter must have seen the panic in my eyes because he explained to me that the last baby was to small so is in an incubator. "Girl or boy?" I quizzed him. "Boy," he whispered sitting on a chair next to my bed. "Oh. We haven't thought of names!" I exclaimed. "Yeah I totally forgot! How about Noah?" he asked. "Ok!" I smiled. "Er Miss Marks. You and your two girls in here are allowed out today but Noah has to stay in," said an old nurse. "Why?" I asked. "How am I suppose to know?" she asked walking out. "Lola?" I asked Peter as I picked up the biggest. "Definitely! And how about Lauren for this one?" he asked putting her in my arms also. "If you would like you can get changed and go and see your little one!" said a younger nurse. "Thanks!" I exclaimed. "Oh but before I leave can I have your full name, age and the children's names," she smiled. "Sure. I'm Poppy Marks and I'm 17. The kids are Lola, Lauren and Noah," I replied. "Jolly good!" she said going on her way. 17! So much had happened in the past year or so. I had had triplets, moved from England to Florida, moved from Florida to Hawaii and most recently got engaged! My phone rang: "Hello?" I asked. "Hello can I speak to Miss Marks?" he asked. "Speaking. Who is this?" "It's Mr Cosgrove from Vacation Vacation," Vacation Vacation was the travel agency that I work for and Mr Cosgrove is my boss... "Hello Sir what can I do today?" "Fired! Yes fired! FIRED! You have had 10 absences!" he exclaimed putting the phone down. "Fired!" I exclaimed running out alone to find Noah. I was pointed in the right direction and soon found my baby. "Darling!" I exclaimed bursting into tears. "Oh dear love, he will be ok! He can be let out next week," soothed a nurse. "When can I hold him?" I asked in tears. "Now dear!" she got Noah out. He was really small, nearly half the size of his sisters. I smiled. "I love you," I whispered under my breath. Just then someone came behind me and hit my head hard. That was I could remember before it all went black.
