Meanwhile…
Merlot: Where do you think you’re going?
Apple: Out. I’m hungry dad, and I just want to hunt on my own for once.
Merlot: We’ve had this discussion Apple. You are not going out there, and that’s final.
Apple: What the hell! You never let me go out there, what’s your problem!?
Merlot: It’s not safe out there for our kind, you aren’t going!
Apple: What are you talking about!? Not a single one of us have been killed in years, of course it’s safe.
Merlot: What did I say?
Apple: You said no, but!
Merlot: The answer is no, end of discussion.
Apple: Under breath You really suck sometimes…
Merlot: What did you say?
Apple: Nothing dad…
I think Honeydew and Mama thought I was going to be mad about all the new babies. That I would fall back into whatever I had been like years before, but I wasn’t and I didn’t. I actually enjoyed them. It was nice to have someone other than grown-ups around. Plus… I really like kids.
Clementine
Dewberrie
Elderberry
Everyone but me was surprised when there turned out to be more than one… more than that, there were three! Guess what Apple, you’re a big brother to triplets. I bet mom will take me seriously next time I tell her somethings up. She told me the doctor would never keep the fact that they were having three a secret. So much for that right?
Oh, and their names? Pumpkin convinced Helium to continue the trend she had with our names you know? So they are Clementine, Dewberrie, and Elderberry. Two girls and a boy.
When the day arrived, I was at school. But mom sent me a text message to tell me it was happening. I was on edge, waiting for the clock to say it was time to go home. But I knew what I was going to come home too, even if Mom and Helium didn’t.
I noticed that Helium was pretty big… I tried mentioning it to mom but she just laughed and said that was normal.
Pumpkin: Well look at you, aren’t you glowing~
Helium: Oh stop it~
I think she just didn’t want Helium to think she was too big. Like she was eating too much or something. But… Twins run in the family Apple. Remember mom telling us that Grandpa was a twin? And it was like super genetic within our family… I’m not saying I’m not excited still, but more than one…. now!?
It was winter, getting closer and closer to the babies due date. I wanted to know the gender, but Mom and Helium didn’t, so the doctor was keeping it a secret for us. I figured mom would marry Helium now. But I guess she didn’t want it to seem like she was marrying her simply because of the baby. Which was understandable I think.
Berry: Crap, I’m going to be late for school!
Helium: Wait you haven’t said–
Honestly, I wasn’t upset by the news. When mom said she wanted more kids I always pictured being a big brother. I’m sure you did too, and don’t pull that thing about how you’re older just cus you were born first. Helium is great, and mom is really happy with her, so I wasn’t going to complain. In fact I even helped decorate the nursery. The only thought I had that was negative was thinking that mom might be trying to replace you with a new baby. But I know that was ridiculous. So I was excited for the new baby.
Until…
Helium: Oh! Berry I’m glad you’re up… are you eating left over birthday cake from 2 weeks ago, for breakfast?
Berry: …Maybe
Helium: Well… okay. Anyway I wanted to ask you. You know your mom and I have been together for a while now. But have you considered how you would feel if… if your mom decided to have more kids.
Berry: …Well, mom used to tell Apple and I that if our other mother was still alive, she had wanted to have more, so I wouldn’t be shocked… why are you and Mom… considering?
Helium: Actually… it may have already been decided for us.
Berry: You’re pregnant!?
