The room was bathed in the soft glow of the hospital lights as the sounds of tiny cries filled the air.
Romance’s breath came in shallow gasps, her body exhausted from the intense labor, but her heart swelled with pure joy as she held her babies in her arms. Sebastian, standing by her side with a look of wonder on his face, held her hand, his voice barely audible as he whispered words of love and reassurance.
“They’re here, Romi. Our little ones...”
Romi’s eyes glistened with tears as she gazed down at the three tiny faces before her. The first baby boy, swaddled in a soft blue blanket, lay nestled in her arms. His face scrunched up in his sleep, his tiny fingers curled tightly as he clutched onto her. Next to him, another baby boy, his eyes still closed, was securely wrapped in a white blanket. The third, a little girl, lay nestled against her chest, her delicate features soft and serene as she breathed gently in her mother’s arms.
Sebastian crouched down to get a better look at their children, his voice thick with emotion. “Two boys and a girl... they’re perfect.”
Romi nodded, her voice trembling as she whispered, “I can’t believe they’re finally here...”
A few moments of silence passed, the weight of the situation settling in. They had both been through so much to get to this moment, and it felt like a dream that they had finally welcomed their three little ones into the world.
Romi glanced at Sebastian, who was standing beside her, his hand gently caressing the back of her head.
She could see the pride in his eyes, the joy in his every glance at their children. In that moment, it wasn’t just the birth of their triplets that mattered—it was the beginning of a new chapter, a chapter filled with challenges, love, and so much joy.
“Seb, we did it...” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.
Sebastian kissed her forehead tenderly, his eyes soft with admiration. “We did. And now, we get to raise them together. I can’t wait to see who they become.”
The nurse entered, her smile warm as she checked on the babies, making sure they were healthy and comfortable. “They’re doing great, Ms. Delacruz. Congratulations once again. You have two strong boys and a beautiful little girl.”
As the nurse tended to the babies, Sebastian turned to Romi, his face breaking into a smile that was as wide as it was proud. “I still can’t believe it. Our little family is complete.”
Romi couldn’t help but smile back, her heart swelling as she looked at their three children, each so small and fragile in her arms. She was exhausted, but the overwhelming love she felt for them was more than enough to carry her through the next few hours, days, and years.
“I’ve never been more ready for anything in my life,” Romi said, her voice steady now as she looked at
Sebastian, her eyes glistening with emotion. “Our family, our future... it’s all here.”
Sebastian leaned down, kissing her gently on the lips. “I couldn’t agree more.”
As the hours passed, they took turns holding their children, marveling at each tiny movement and soft breath. They didn’t know what the future held, but for the first time in a long time, they were certain of one thing: together, they could face anything. With their love and their children by their side, they were ready for whatever life would bring.
The room, once filled with the quiet sounds of nurses and machines, was now alive with the laughter and joy of two parents who had just brought three new lives into the world.
And in that moment, Romance knew that their journey was just beginning.
The hospital room was filled with a mix of emotions—exhaustion, joy, and awe. Romance, despite the fatigue that weighed heavily on her body, felt a sense of peace she hadn’t known in months. She could still feel the warmth of her babies in her arms, the soft breaths of their tiny chests rising and falling gently against her skin.
Sebastian stood by her side, his hand never leaving hers, his eyes glued to the tiny bundles that were now their children. His eyes sparkled with pride, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
“Two boys... and a little girl,” he said, as if confirming it all to himself. “I never imagined this day would come.”
Romi smiled through the tears that had escaped her eyes. “We’re finally parents, Seb. We’ve made it.”
Their attention turned back to their children, who were now peacefully sleeping, oblivious to the whirlwind of emotions that had taken place.
The nurse, a kind woman with gentle hands, returned to the room, checking on Romi and the babies. She smiled softly as she adjusted the babies’ blankets. “Your children are doing wonderfully, Ms. Delacruz.
They’re strong and healthy.”
Romi nodded gratefully. “Thank you... I still can’t believe they’re here. It feels like a dream.”
Sebastian’s smile deepened as he gazed at the babies. “They’re perfect...”
The nurse continued her check-up, making sure the babies were comfortable and that Romi was recovering well. When she was finished, she stepped back with a nod.
“You can take your time, of course. The family can visit shortly, but if you need rest, we’ll give you some space.”
As the nurse left the room, Sebastian carefully slid into the chair next to Romi’s bed, his eyes fixed on the little ones, his gaze softening.
“Do you think they’ll look like us?” he asked quietly, his tone filled with wonder.
Romi looked down at their babies, smiling warmly. “They already do. They have our eyes, Seb. Our little ones are perfect just the way they are.”
She felt a wave of relief, knowing that this moment, after so many struggles, was theirs to cherish. They had fought so hard to make it here. They had faced doubts, worries, and even fears that they wouldn’t be able to handle it all. But now, as she held her babies, she realized they were stronger than ever.
A soft knock on the door broke their quiet moment, and Sebastian stood to open it. The door swung open to reveal Romi’s family—her parents, Raphael, Nico, and even Mia and Damian had come to visit.
Antonio and Cathy entered first, their faces softening when they saw their daughter, holding their grandchildren. Antonio’s usual stern expression melted into something far warmer, pride and love shining in his eyes as he walked over to Romi.
“You did it, Romi,” he said, his voice low and proud. “I can see how much you’ve grown. These little ones... they’re our future.”
Cathy joined him, her hands reaching out to hold the babies, tears welling in her eyes. “Our grandbabies...”
Raph stepped forward, unable to hide his excitement. “Two boys and a girl, huh? I think we’re going to have a full house around here.”
He looked at Sebastian and grinned, shaking his head. “I’ll be the best uncle ever. Just wait.”
Nico, who had been standing off to the side, walked up cautiously. He couldn’t stop the smile that spread across his face as he looked at his sister, holding her babies. His protective instincts kicked in immediately, his voice soft but full of love.
“You did it, Romi. You’re a mom now. I’m so proud of you.”
Mia, always the cheerful one, couldn’t contain her excitement as she approached the bed. “Congratulations!
They’re so beautiful!” Her eyes sparkled with happiness as she gazed down at the triplets. “I can’t wait to spoil them.”
Sebastian stood beside Romi, looking at the group that had gathered around them. His heart swelled with love and gratitude. These were the people who had supported them, who had witnessed their struggles and triumphs, and now they were all here—ready to embrace this new chapter.
Raph cleared his throat, breaking the silence that had fallen over the group. “So... have you guys thought of names yet?”
Romi smiled softly, glancing up at Sebastian. “We’re still deciding. It’s a lot to think about... but we’ll get there.”
Sebastian nodded in agreement. “It feels like everything is moving so fast, but I think we’ll be okay. One step at a time.”
As the family continued to gather around, cooing over the babies and offering their congratulations, Sebastian leaned down and whispered to Romi.
“We did it, Romi. Our little family. Our future.”
Romi smiled, her heart overflowing with joy and gratitude. “I know, Seb. And I’m so ready for whatever comes next.”
