Telling the Triplets

Bar frowned at Jayne and Mirth as they assembled outside Kass and Evan’s quarters.

“So…I wonder what was so important we had to meet her here?” she said to the others.

Mirth shrugged and looked at Jayne.

“Did she say anything to Nikki about what’s going on?” she asked.

Jayne shook her head.

“No, or at least not that Nikki has mentioned to me…” she trailed off, their memories floating to the ritual alien wedding incident.

Just as they were about to activate the chimes the door slid open, revealing a tousled haired Evan.

He grinned at them.

“Ladies,” he said, glancing over his shoulder. “Kass, honey, your guests are here. I’m going back to work; call me if you need anything!” He nodded to the triplets as they went in, before heading back to his office.

“I’ll be right out! I just have to sign off on this report!” Kass called from the other room, making the three exchange knowing looks.

They’d just settled into the living area when Kass appeared in the doorway.

“Hey guys, sorry I didn’t meet you in the gate room. I, uh, was a bit busy.” she said, drawing their attention.

Their eyes widened in unison as they stared at her. Jayne and Mirth squealed while Bar grinned.

“Does this mean I get to be Auntie Bar?” she asked with a laugh.

Kass chuckled, sitting in her favorite chair.

“I guess if that’s what you want.” she said.

“So tell us everything!” Mirth demanded.

“Yeah, so when are you due? Is it a boy or a girl? How’d Evan take it?” Jayne asked, excitedly.

Kass held up a hand to stop the barrage of questions.

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!” she said with a chuckle. “I’m just about six months along, so I’ve got about three months to go. Yes we know what we are having,” she paused seeing their expectant looks, “no, we are not sharing.”

Jayne squeaked and looked disappointed.

“But how are we supposed to send baby gifts if we don’t know what to shop for?” she asked.

Bar rolled her eyes, “she’s probably going to say she doesn’t want us to send anything.”

Kass scoffed.

“No, I was GOING to say you can just wait like everyone in the city has to.” she said, whilst sticking out her tongue at Bar. “Now, I think there was one more question,” she paused pretending to ponder.

“Oh right- Evan is thrilled, over the moons with excitement. Heck I think if he could he’d convince Rodney to build him a time machine or something to skip the next few months.”

The three grinned at her, Mirth breaking the quiet a moment later.

“So what were you two doing anyway before we got here? I hope we didn’t interrupt anything.” she said, waggling her eyebrows.

Kass laughed, surprised they hadn’t asked before.

“We had an appointment with Jen this morning and had to record our letter home for his mum.”

Bar scoffed softly.

“So that’s what they call it these days.” she said with a wink at Jayne and Mirth.

Kass rolled her eyes, cheeks tinged pink.

“Oh wait, a second!” she exclaimed, digging in a pile of papers next to her. After a moment she produced three pictures handing one to each of the women. She gave them a minute to study the grainy image from her earlier ultrasound before speaking.

“Those are for you, I’ll give Nikki hers later. You should probably however get to work, I’m sure she’s wondering where you’ve all wandered off to.” Kass said as she stood up.

The others grumbled for a moment before Jayne spoke.

“I guess we’ll see you later than?” she asked hopefully.

Kass nodded smiling at them.

“Yeah of course you will. I should probably grab a nap now anyway.” she said, yawning softly.

“Okay than.” the triplets replied, each hugging her in turn before leaving.
