After painting, Celeste decided to give Geoffrey a call and see if he wanted to come over for a while. He agreed and promptly came running! Celeste still couldn’t get him to accept any advances but she did manage to deepen their friendship quite a bit…

She invited him to feel her baby after a while. He didn’t stay for long in total, but Celeste was tired so she didn’t mind too much.

And then, in the middle of the night, it happened… Celeste woke up when she went into labour. It’s time!

Baby Time!!

Celeste headed to the hospital with Dennis, who then promptly freaked out and turned around and left… (I think I dawdled too long outside the hospital and he decided to go home as it’s the middle of the night…)

So, she braved the journey herself and made sure she was all checked in. She met a lovely Assistant Nurse who would be the one delivering the baby. Celeste decided she might make him one of her future baby daddies…

As the baby was delivered, the Nurse turned out to be a little negligent as he removed her heart twice during surgery. Why he was in that part of her body, she does not know.

But finally… she- oh- oh no… triplets!

Triplets Are Hard Work

As soon as Celeste got home from the hospital, all 3 babies needed feeding and their diapers changing. They will not stop crying. Celeste is starting to regret that she had triplets, even if she does love them!

She started struggling to care for all three of them because it seemed like every 5 minutes another one needed a nappy change or a feed. Social services kept threatening to take them away, but she doesn’t want to give up!

Celeste decided to have a power workout in the garden while all 3 of them were asleep, but they were soon awake and yowling… again.

Small Moments of Peace & Quiet

Over the next few days, the triplets took up all of Celeste’s spare time. So much so that she never seemed to have any time for herself… her needs suffered because of it. She was always hungry, always tired, nearly always needing a shower… so when she found she had a day where the babies were all asleep, she decided to get back to her painting.

It wasn’t long before Geoffrey called and asked to hang out, so Celeste said yes. He wasn’t helpful in the slightest and ignored the children when they inevitably started crying again. He kept standing in the way so Celeste had to ask him to leave…

Once he had gone, she climbed into bed and promptly fell asleep. However, once again she was soon having to get up to care for the 3 children.

She managed to do a little bit of cooking, as well. Just enough to make a large serving of mac and cheese for herself!
