2 years later....

"Mama" "Mama" "Mama" "Maammmmaaaaa" Mamaaa" "Mama!" The triplets were whining for me in the grocery story. Ughhh....They annoy me, but I love them to death.

"Alright. Settle down. One at a time." I said.

"Mama. Up." Arianna said reaching her hands up, motioning for me to carry her.

"Mama. I want this." Bentley said showing me a toy race car.

"Mama. Sopping cart." Arabella said pointing to the shopiing cart. She couldnt quite say an 'sh' sound yet.

I put Arabella up in the shopping cart, put the toy car in the cart and picked up Arianna and carried her while pushing the cart. Bentley had a huge grin on his face. Arianna and Arabella started picking on eachother.

"Your ugly." Arianna bickered to Arabella.

"You look just like me!" Arabella rebelled.

"Nah uhhh!!!"

"Yuh huhh!!"

I sighed. "You two do not look the same. But you both are the two most beautiful little girls I have ever seen." I said tapping each of their noses. They scrunched their noses. They were so cute. All three of them had Anthony's blue eyes. They had my dark brown hair, but Bentley looked so much like his father. He reminded me of Anthony everytime I looked at him. That didnt mean I didnt love him any less. I loved all my children equally.

That day I left, the day of the wedding, I called Lacy to tell her I was leaving Sunnyvale, California. I explained everything to her and she insisted on coming with me. She made me remember the promise I made her...You know, the one where she would be able to see her godchildren at least 5 times a week...or something like that. I went over her house and we convinced her parents to let her come with me. They gave us some money to find someplace to startover. We bought one way bus tickets. We didnt know for sure where we were going, but we were going far away.

Lacy and I ended up in Miami, Florida. It was a lot like Sunnyvale, except the hurricane weather was terrible. We couldnt go out and the children got fussy from being cooped up inside. Luckily for us, we live in a hurricane proof building, which meant the building wouldnt blow down or lose electricty or flood. The windows and doors were bulky and it was hard to open in close them in the summer, but at least they protected us from the hurricanes. Me, Lacy, and the triplets lived in a large condo near a beach. It was great for the kids. And we were able to afford it from the money Anthony was sending us every month. Yes, he pays child support...he actually pays more money than he should, but I guess that he wants the best for us. I took Bentley, Arianna, and Arabella to the beach every Saturday, when it wasnt raining. They loved it. They were 1 1/2 years old and they were little fishes in the water.

I gave birth to the triplets 3 months after we settled down in Miami. Arianna and Arabella shared one room, Bentley had his own, and Me and Lacy shared a room. Lacy helped me so much with the triplets. She'd even change diapers! She was truly my best friend.

Anyways, I'm now 18 years old. I waitress at a local diner 6am to 2 pm. Lacy watches the kids from that time. I usually get home around 2:30 and then Lacy goes to school. She got accepted into the University of Miami, which worked out perfectly. I got my GED right before I had the triplets. Our lives were pretty good. I still miss Anthony and Kevin. Sometimes I wonder if I ever loved Kevin, or if he was just a rebound guy. And I question if I made the right decision moving away, but I've always come to the conclusion that what I did was right. The kids needed a stable environment and they wouldnt get that with Anthony and Kevin around.
