The Bad Boy And The Mermaid

Chapter 50: EPILOGUE

Three Years Later

Hunter

I never thought it was possible for a man to have so much happiness in life, and I definitely didn’t think it could be me.

Three years ago when Blue went into labor, I’d panicked because it was nothing like I’d ever witnessed or imagined. The pain that she was going through seemed unbearable and I spent the rest of the time cursing myself and swearing to never get my dick anywhere near her. I regretted even getting her pregnant.

I could still remember how before being wheeled into the hospital room, she’d assured me everything would be okay with a confident smile on her face and for a minute there I thought I wouldn’t see her smiling.

Women died of child labor sometimes, what if Blue was fragile? I’d spent the rest of the time sobbing with my head bent on my mother’s shoulder.

And then the Doctor declared, “Mr. Brantley, you have twins.”

“And my wife, how is she?”

“She’s doing great.” He assured me.

Still didn’t understand why someone would choose his career as a gynecologist and spend his entire life pulling out babies out of VJ’s. It looked like a very difficult and nerve-wracking job. I sure as hell wouldn’t be able to handle a sobbing father and a screaming mother.

My heart soared, there was no way I could describe the happiness I felt knowing that I had two little girls. I was just trying to process the information when the doctor said, “Let me say that again. You have triplets.”

“What?!”

It was probably the anticipation or the tension, it must have taken a toll on me and I fainted. It was the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened to me. When I woke up the nurses were giving me amused looks, some had even flirted in good nature by saying what a handsome husband I was.

And then I had three babies in my arms. Can you imagine my excitement?

Not one.

Not two.

I had three.

That day marked the best day of my life. Literally the fucking best.

“DADDY! DADDY! DADDY!”

“DADDY! DADDY! DADDY!”

The sounds blared in my ears like an alarm pulling me back to reality. I pushed the pillow on my ear and buried my head deeper.

“Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!” The chanting continued.

I opened one eye and looked around. Two young faces peered at me. One of them was still jumping on the bed, she was going to break the mattress spring one of these days. Artemis, the naughtiest of the triplets.

“Daddy, you promised to take us out today for McDonalds Happy Meal and the iche-chream.” Freya reminded me, her eyes were large and round like that of Blue’s.

“YOU PROMISED! YOU PROMISED! YOU PROMISED!” Artemis screamed at the top of her lungs, her life motive was to make her father deaf.
