Gen 3: One night stand- Babies 18, 19, 20, and 21

I got up early the morning after the quads were born so that I could make about a billion cakes. I had fun in the kitchen with the radio on. I was dancing around the kitchen throwing the cakes together. As soon as I was finished with all of them, I sat them out on the counters and went to bed before 3 am.

When Braelyn, Brylin, and Braden woke up, they were greeted by 3 birthday cakes alight with candles and a solidly sung "Happy birthday to you!"

That morning, all 10 children aged up into beautiful teens, children, and toddlers. I smiled as I watched all of my children edge one step closer to becoming adults and leaving me. Someday I'll be living here alone with grey hair and nothing more to live for.

All of the children were aged soon after that. Buttercup, Bluebird, Bristole, Callum, Cade, Carl, and Cameron lined up for a family picture with Braelyn, Brylin, Braden and I.

All 10 little children have distinct features of me and of the man whom donated their sperm for me to do this challenge.

My babies grew up excellently...So much beauty in one picture is almost unbearable and I really just can't believe that I've brought up 17 children all on my own.

My idea was to get this done as fast as I could, so I called up Spencer and made an appointment. I spent the time laying on my couch with my babies playing on the floor next to me.

They all 4 grabbed my hands and tried to pull me off the couch without much success. I stayed right where I was and daydreamed about just being left alone.

When I showed up at Spencer's office....The atmosphere was weird. I heard some kind of music coming from the room. As I opened the door, I saw that the room was tinted a purple color. There was a bunch of roses on the desk with a note that said:

Ande, I received a last minute call....If you wanna wait here for just a little bit....then okay...I'll be back soon...
P.s. enjoy the flowers.

This is the last straw. I picked up the vase of flowers and hurled them at the floor as hard as I could. I kicked the shards of broken glass and flowers. I don't know why fury got such a hold of me. The environment of this whole thing was....Romantic. So many bad memories resurfaced and I just couldn't handle that. And that's my story for vandalizing Spencer's office....and when he had helped me so much this whole time. I managed to destroy the little radio and broke out three lightbulbs. That is what I call...hulk mode.

I broke out in a run. Just as far as I could go and I didn't stop.

This island wasn't that big bit it still had a few places to go. The diner was large but pretty much empty, the only person being a dark haired man sitting 3 tables away, eating donuts and drinking coffee.

"What can I get for you, ma'am?" The young waitress asked holding out a menu.

"I'd just like some coffee and eggs, please?" She nodded and the dark haired man looked over at me.

I held my gaze on the dark haired man who was dunking a doughnut into his coffee. His grey eyes wondered up until they met with mine. I couldn't believe the sadness they held. He stared into my eyes and neither of us broke the stare for what seemed like forever.

That was, before he stood up and brought his coffee over to where I was sitting.

"Is life fucking with you too?"

"You have no clue."

"I think I've got a pretty good idea. I'm Lucian."

"Ande."

"We've met before.."

"You're the cop. I remember."

"You got yourself into some fucked up situations."

"So, you know my story. Spill yours."

"I fucked up big time. I had everything. The perfect girl...she was pregnant. My best friend and I were dumbasses. We about killed her. I don't care anymore though. She's happy with her fucking boyfriend Kyle."

I ran my fingers through my pixi cut hair and looked back up. Lucian was staring at me with some kind of glint in his eye and I had no clue what it meant.

Somehow, Lucian and I had spent almost 4 hours in that diner....just talking. I told him about what happened in Bridgeport and how it was so hard for me to really trust anyone anymore.

He told me all sorts of stories about being a cop and what he does on a daily basis (Which, in his case, includes being a complete dumb ass.)

When we were kicked out of the diner, I showed Lucian the same club that Aphrodite took me too, only this time...I wasn't scared.

I picked up my first drink in years and sent it back. 5 more followed that and I soon found myself completely off the hook. Insane. Bonkers.
 
The best thing was that Lucian was having just as much fun.

I don't remember going to Lucian's house or falling asleep. The last thing I remember is trying some sort of green colored drink that Lucian ordered for me and pretty much pored down my throat....Amazing drink, by the way.

I woke up next to Lucian...I was naked and I was sore. I just laid there and stared at his perfectly chiseled body, his pale skin and black hair. He opened his eyes and realized what happened....He wasn't freaking out or anything, and surprisingly...neither was I.

I looked him straight in the eye and said "I've never really been kissed before."

With that, I stood up and threw my clothes back on....and left. I was aware that I had just had a one night stand with a cop...A cop with huge relationship problems. I'm not sure what I got myself into but all I know is that I was suddenly feeling very sick.

When I got home, I crashed next to the toilet. I gave up all the liquor from last night, along with my coffee and eggs. When Brylin, Braelyn, and Brayden found me there, they all helped me clean up and get in bed...I had never in my life felt closer to being dead.

I was woken up with a phone call about an hour later. I surprisingly already felt so much better. I let the answering machine pick it up and a tired voice spoke calmly.

 "Ande? It's Spencer....I've called about 17 times now...I'm just worried about you. Please call me back as soon as possible." I picked up the phone and hit redial.

Almost as soon as I did, he picked up and gushed into the phone... "Oh my god, Ande? Are you alright?"

"Yeah, Spence...I'm fine."

"What happened in my office last night?"

"I kinda went hulk mode on your decorations...I'm so sorry. I'll pay you back..."

"No, I understand. I should have known better than invoke that kind of atmosphere on you..."

"Well..."
 
"Can I ask you something?"

"I guess..."

"Where did you go last night? Brylin called me and told me that you were really sick..."

"Just a bit of a stomach flu...I'll be fine."

"Are you looking at coming in sometime today?"

"Uhh...Spencer...I think that I'm covered this time around." I hung up on him as he tried to protest and make me come over. I cut him off at "What did you do-"

I sat the phone on the dresser and looked down to find a medium sized baby belly underneath my shirt.
"Shit..." I picked up the phone one last time and dialed the police stations number just to find out that Lucian was on a personal vacation.

I asked for his cell number...and reluctantly...they gave it to me.
"Uhh, Lucian? It's Ande."

"You mean, from last night? Fuck...Is your dad coming for me or something? Because I fucking think we both had a part in what happened last night."

"Uhhm no. But..."

"But what? You didn't  have any diseases did you? Aids? Because I can't fucking get that shit!"

"Lucian, I'm pregnant."

Another long talk later...and the children weren't his. This was an agreement we had decided on. It would be made clear that I had  no clue who the father was and he never met me. The only person who would know about our encounter would be the waitress and she doesn't know either of us.

I spent a rather large amount of time helping  Carl, Callum, Cameron, and Cade learn how to walk and talk. It took an extra 15 minutes each child because I had no one to help me due to all three of my older triplets getting all their stuff packed up and ready to leave after my new babies are born.

One night, I was sitting on the ground next to the couch, all four boys playing with their stuffed animals near my feet, the TV blaring some sort of cooking show. I stared down at the kids and ignored the woman telling me that I had to "Gently whisk the eggs into a froth."

"MOM!!" Bluebird ran into the room with Evil genius hanging on her arm. "Mom. Buttercup keeps trying to take Evil genius. I'M PLAYING WITH HER!"

I watched Buttercup and Bluebird chase each other around the living room with Bristole just watching...eying.

In one motion, I stood up and grabbed the cat from Bluebird and told them both to go play with Bristole and the Costume trunk.

"RAWRRRR! I'M GONNA EAT YOU, YOU PRINCESS!" Bluebird said, yielding a green dino suit and holding out her claws to Buttercup.

"Not if I cast a spell on you first." She pushed the pretend want out and twirled it around while Bluebird pretended like she was being picked up and thrown around.

Bristole enjoyed dressing up as an astronaut  and jumping around the room like there was no gravity.
They spent hours in their room just playing dress up...

Hours passed before I finally got off my butt to go make dinner...though my lack of cooking skills kept me from making anything really very fancy. So mac and cheese it was for all of us.

My baby belly was growing gradually over time and happiness filled the household as we were getting ready for the new additions on their way.

When my mom called later that day to tell me about a sort of party that she was having with some of her old and new friends, I told her that I would but it wasn't going to be exactly fun for me. I wasn't promising that I would get along with her friends or even her. I felt like being grumpy towards everyone....Except my kids.

As birth hour was nearing closer, I approached it boldly. I sat up to the table with Brylin and Braelyn and ate my mac and cheese with a smug smile on my face.

 Standing up is what kicked labor in that night. A few sharp kicks made me groan a little as well as a couple brief screams that followed the contractions. I took it well though...The kids asked if I needed help and when I refused, they all went to bed. I didn't mind though...There is no way they could have helped me, I'm used to going through this alone.

Born into my family that night was 4 children...Two girls, Ce Cee and Canary. And then two boys, Cato, and Condor...
Tomorrow we were going to get these children all aged up <3

Before I go this time...I'm going to ask you all a favor. On facebook there is an award that I've been nominated for and if you could all vote...that would be really great! Thank you guys <3
