CHAPTER 39: FEAR IN MY HEART

SKY

Time flies, I finally gave birth to my triplets. Dr. Jen was right all that time my triplets were really surprising. I got two boys and one girl.

Eian and I decided to name them that starts with letter C. What can I say he idolized me and my dad? Kidding! We came up with our initials with two names.

Anyway, the eldest one is a boy we named him Calix Ed Ross. Second one is a boy also. We named him Cedrix Ed Ross. The last one is a girl, Cheena Ellie Ross.

As for Kent, we did not change his surname. He is still with us as his foster parents. For five years, we have not heard any updates or news about his biological parents. Or even the person who left him in our doorstep.

After that day, my dad instructed Dad Ed too, looked at it. We found out that person stayed for a while in a vacant unit. They even searched the mother's name and found no clue.

My children were so close to each other. But Kent treats Cheena extra special like a princess.

Eian graduated with honors majors in Architectural and Business. He did excellent in school and being a family man at the same time. We may argue sometimes but settled it in our bedroom. We both were learning to cope up our differences.

He is currently working in my dad's construction business.

After given birth with the triplets, I may not be able to go to the real classroom for a year. It did not stop me from it. I continued studying online classes.

Settling the kids once I knew they can be left with their nannies. I returned to school. I took up what I love the most. I took PHOTOGRAPHY but... There's a bit.

I do accept fashion designs, painting, sketching too. It depends if there are some people who needs my services. I put up my own studio, The Skylar Studio. Dad gave one big unit in the condo 3 ground floor. It was spacious for my photographic shoot. I am part of the famous magazine. I always do it in my studio but sometime other places.

I have been busy for the upcoming event for the next issue. I just finished my last shoot when my children barged in. It was past three in the afternoon; they were wearing their school uniforms.

"Mimi, mimi." The voices of my little ones called me.

Well, since Kent came into our lives. He started calling us Dada for Eian and Mimi for me. It adopts with our triplets. I let it be for uniqueness in our family.

Kent is going to 8 years old now. Three years older than my triplets. He is very intelligent person in all aspects. We are so proud of him. Both of my children do give their best in school. But Kent is the most outstanding and mature one.

He started asking questions to us when he turned 7. There were why's. Of course, we never keep it from him with lies. Like I said, he is the very mature one of his age.

We explained to him everything that we are not his real parents. Up until now, we told him that we are still searching for them. However, since we haven't found them. He can still be our eldest child no matter what happen. Our love for him will never fade.

He cried after knowing it the truth. We thought that he will not accept us and do the wrong path. But it was the opposite. He loves us more and the triplets too.

He even assured us that when time comes. If his real parents appear, his love for us will never be unrecognize.

"Oh, my treasure." I said as I hugged them. "How about a little pose for big brother Kent's birthday?"

Kent shook his head. He knew that I am obsessed with them. Taking pictures of them is my way of showing that I love them so much.

My little girl was the eager to pose. She loves it because she always said that she is a princess.

"Please boys, for Mimi." I begged. They nodded. "I love you four." I added. "Uniforms will do this time."

I changed the back that looks like they were just sitting beside the tree. That was my latest canvas. It looks like real on the photo. I already tried it but never use it not until now.

It would be perfect for my children's wearing their uniforms. I let them do poses of their own. I feel like they were meant to be models. Maybe because they saw my works on how to deal with the models. They grew up mostly in my studio. I was in my last click already when Eian walked in.

"Sweet, you joined them too just take off your tie and suit." I demanded.

I began clicking fast because I know my kids were tired and hungry. I got what it takes then called my assistant to replaced me. I need to have a picture with them.

It never takes long we already finished. We were already in my office and my kids were eating chicken and pizza.

Eian kissed me. "It has been five years already. I could not imagine time is really fast."

Looking our children, my heart was overwhelmed. I could not imagine it too. To have them four in such a short time. God blessed us with good products.

"I know! They are so precious to us. I just wish only for good future ahead of them." My head was leaning on his shoulder.

"Me too, I want them to have everything they wish in their own way." I nodded.

Just like us. Our parents did not force us to do that we do not like. Instead, they let us spread our wings to fly as much as we want.

But there is still a little fear in my heart. Not with my triplets but with Kent. A lot of what ifs.
