Decisions I made Three Little Girls
Lela had always known Jack would be a good father to daughters, but she wasn't entirely prepared for what happened after he found out he was having three.It started with the nursery.The morning after they learned they were expecting Emma and Claire, Jack woke up before everyone else, made coffee, and disappeared into the spare bedroom with a measuring tape. Lela found him nearly forty minutes later, standing in the middle of the room with a notebook in one hand and an intense look of concentration on his face. He measured the distance between the wall where the cribs would go and the window, occasionally stepping back to inspect the room as though he were planning the layout of a new military facility.She stood in the doorway for a moment, watching him."Jack?"He didn't turn around. "Good morning.""What are you doing?""Measuring.""I can see that.""Good."She folded her arms. "Why?"He finally turned toward her, looking genuinely confused by the question. "Because we need two c
Decisions I made The Day Everything Became Real
Lela had always imagined that finding out the sexes of her babies would be a simple moment. She thought she would sit in an ultrasound room, hold Jack's hand, hear the technician announce whether they were having boys or girls, and then go home to celebrate. Maybe they would buy a little outfit or two, start choosing names, and finally replace the pieces of paper Jack had taped to the nursery wall with something more permanent. It seemed simple enough when she thought about it that way. But the closer they got to the appointment, the more she realized that the babies were becoming real in a way she hadn't quite prepared herself for. They were no longer just two tiny shapes on a screen or two heartbeats she had listened to through a machine. They were growing. They were becoming little people. And soon, if everything kept going well, she would know whether she was carrying two sons, two daughters, or one of each.Jack, meanwhile, had developed an entirely different problem.He couldn't
Decisions I made Two Names on the Wall
By Sunday morning, the secret had become the biggest piece of news in the family.Lela's phone had barely stopped vibrating since everyone left the night before. Her mother had called twice before breakfast. Her sister had sent photographs of twin nursery ideas. Victoria had apparently already started shopping because she sent Lela a picture of two tiny pairs of socks with the message, I couldn't help myself. Paul had called Jack to discuss college funds, which Jack found both hilarious and slightly terrifying because Paul had somehow managed to bring up college before they had even decided what color the nursery would be.And then there was Lily.Lily had taken her new role as big sister so seriously that she had apparently decided it was now her responsibility to announce the pregnancy to anyone who crossed her path.At breakfast, she stood on her chair and announced, "My mommy has two babies."Jack nearly choked on his coffee.Lela looked over her shoulder."Lily, sit down.""I am
Decisions I made The Secret at the Table
Absolutely—I'll continue with Lela planning a special way to tell the whole family, while keeping the twins and her recovery central to the chapter.For the next several days, Lela carried a secret that grew increasingly hard to keep.It wasn't that she didn't want her family to know. Quite the opposite. She wanted to tell them so badly that, at times, she nearly picked up the phone and called everyone at once. She wanted to hear her mother's voice when she told her. She wanted to hear Paul gasp, because her father had a very particular way of reacting to big news that always made Lela laugh. She wanted to see her sister's face. She wanted Victoria to scream. She wanted to watch Jack's parents' faces when they realized their family would have three children. Most of all, she wanted Lily there when everyone found out, because Lily had already appointed herself the official big sister and seemed to believe announcing the news was one of her responsibilities.But Lela wanted to do it dif
Decisions I made A Different Fear
The next morning began with rain.It tapped softly against the bedroom window, steady enough to make the entire house feel quieter than usual. Lela woke before Jack and stayed beneath the blankets for a while, listening to it. She had always liked rain when she didn't have anywhere she needed to be. There was something comforting about knowing the world outside could be gray and restless while the little world inside their house remained warm and still.She turned onto her side and looked at Jack.He was asleep on his back, one hand resting across the empty space between them as though even in his sleep he expected to find her there. Lela smiled and reached over, lightly touching his fingers.His hand closed around hers without him opening his eyes."You awake?" he murmured."Yes.""Why?"She laughed softly."That's not how waking up works.""It should be."He opened one eye."Is everything okay?""Yes.""Babies okay?""I think so.""Leg?""Fine.""You're sure?""I'm sure."He opened
Decisions I made The First Picture
The first picture of the twins was blurry.Lela knew that was normal. The technician had explained that they were still incredibly small, that there wasn't much to see yet, and that the image would become clearer at later appointments. But when the screen came alive and two tiny shapes appeared, Lela stopped breathing for a moment anyway. She stared at the monitor while the technician adjusted the wand and moved slowly across her abdomen, searching for the best angle. Jack sat beside her, holding her hand so tightly that she could feel his fingers trembling. He had tried to act calm since they arrived, making jokes in the waiting room and pretending he wasn't nervous, but the moment the first image appeared, all of that disappeared."There," the technician said softly. "There's one."Lela's eyes followed the screen."And there's your second."Jack leaned forward."That's really them?"The technician smiled."Yes."Lela swallowed.Two little shapes.Two tiny beginnings.Two lives that
Decisions I made The message
We had barely made it twenty feet into the mall before Mom was already pulling dresses off racks."Mom.""What?""We've been here two minutes.""And?""You already have six dresses."She looked down at the armful of clothes she was carrying."I do.""That's a problem.""No, it's called being prepar
Decisions I made Questions
"Where is Jack taking you for dinner?" Mom asked as we walked toward the mall entrance.I smiled."Pier W."Mom stopped so fast I nearly walked right into her."What?"I laughed."Pier W."She just stood there staring at me."The Pier W?""Yes, Mom."For a moment she didn't say anything.Then she g
Decisions I made Shopping
Friday morning arrived much earlier than I would have liked.My alarm went off at six, and for a few seconds I just lay there staring at the ceiling.The events of the night before slowly came back to me.Dinner with Mom and Dad.The interrogation.The shopping trip I had somehow been volunteered f
Decisions I made Dinner with my parents
"Okay," Dad said as he leaned back in his chair. "Let's talk about this Jack guy."I groaned."Do we have to?""Absolutely."Mom laughed."We definitely have to."I shook my head."There's really not much to tell."Dad pointed at me."Start with what you know."I thought about it for a moment."Wel
