Chapter 297

Teresa was also very shocked that she didn’t understand a word Clara just said, she didn't move an inch.She kept staring at Teresa like she was a stranger speaking some sort of weird language. It seems she didn't have the intention of collecting the third delivery “What did you say?” she asked again, giving Teresa a weird look.

“Can you both get yourself together, she is already so tired” Roselle said with a frown, since both old women were so shocked and dumbfounded she had no choice but to help with the delivery.

“Selom you just heard what aunt said, she didn't say it in your absence so.. you better push my baby out or trust me I would force it out of you.You know what I am capable of doing” Roselle said with a forcing a smile on Selom's face.

 Selom was already so exhausted.Anyone could tell from the way she looked.

"What if i keep pushing for eternity? First it was the first child, now the second one and now..i am told there is still another one, what happens if I push this one out and there happens to be another one? What would happen then?"Selom said,She was so carried away with her thought that she forgot she was in labor.Seeing the young lady with a diverted attention.. she was brought back with a painful slap on her thighs by Roselle. She couldn’t help but glare at Roselle.

"Roselle…If all doctors were like you …everyone known to be in labor would have died by now."Selom said, this was the fault. What was the slap on her thighs for? It was so painful that she felt she should get back at Roselle. After all, the girl was the reason she was growing through this now. "What am Ass!" Selom cursed

"Why not face Roselle after your delivery darling? And save your energy for this baby?"Teresa asked calmly.

"Why did she have to piss me up each time, there's something she's trying to prove* Selom said, prouting. She was sweating and held the sheets tightly , her face was not glowing anymore, they were white pale.

 Lylic could tell that Selom was already exhausted.No one gives up at such state..it could be dangerous.

 “Aunt, she needs more energy” she said looking at Teresa and Clara.

"You two, help out.She needs more energy"Lylic said again to Teresa and Clara when all they could do was to stare after the alarm she raised over some energy needed. Both women had not recovered from the shock of triplet, this was indeed unbelievable.

Beatrice on the other hand was busy cleaning up the children; she had collected the child with Lylic while Steve held the second child. She was good at this, she loved little children so much that she could do anything for them. Too bad Clara was accusing her of being a bad parent. If all parents like her were bad, then this means there ain't any good parents left.

 Looking at how exhausted Selom was, Lylic felt she would need the help of the old men. They were far stronger and this could help go a long way.

 “Grandpa..get in here, Selom needs more energy'' Lylic shouted while she gazed at Clara and Teresa. It was rare to see both women so confused at the same time.

It was more like an order than a mere shout which was indeed beyond what she could handle calmly. Hearing her shout from outside..The two old men immediately got into the room, which gave them nothing but shock.They were indeed shocked to see two children yet. The right way to put it was that the shocked one was none other than Elyrex, he was more shocked than when his wife was giving birth then. They old men couldn't waste time , some energy was needed because Roselle was about to deliver another one.

(Speechless)

“There are three of them? The old man Elyrex asked with his fingers on his jaw sounding very shocked

“Surprised? They could be four or five, grandpa it wouldn't matter,that’s not the case now; she looks so exhausted she needs more energy” 

"Did I hear right just now? She just called my Grandpa" Elyrex said whispering to Blaine

(Smirks) "What an Idiot, from the first day you brought your old self into this mansion, she has being calling you grandpa"

"Speechless "

"Selom needs energy, what's with the distraction?" Lylic said in an alleviated tune.

“OWH” they both said, They could see for themselves how exhausted she was.Walking towards the bed, the two old men began transferring some energy from theirs to her. 

"(Sigh) Such urgency deserves immediate action"Teresa said with a cold look.Teresa was already so exhausted as well as Clara, since her father was here she didn’t have to transfer anymore, she was less confused.

She walked to the place Beatrice was to give a helping hand and then.. gave her a hand by cleaning up and sorting out some clothings.

Cecelia on the other hand was quiet; she just stood on her own like an onlooker. It became a scene she could witness live.She had never experienced such a scene like this in her life; she couldn’t believe the pain that was behind childbirth. Knowing Cecelia to be a curious lady who has always been a curious type... She had questions running through her mind of which she wished to seek answers.

Since it was so painful..she could at least help Selom by sharing the pain. she thought to herself. 

Walking beside the bed, she placed her hands on Selom's arm and extracted the pain from her body. This way.. it will give some ease to Selom and herself.She had never tried it before but she knew there was that type of skill within. With lots of focus..she closed her eyes which ended up to her as a surprise because it worked perfectly but the pain was something else..she couldn’t bear the pain. 

“What are you doing silly? '' Teresa said, drawing her away from Selom. 

 Though she was helping Beatrice clean up the child, she had her eyes on Cecelia. Everyone knows that it will turn out strange to anyone who never witnessed such a scene and any kinda act or emotion may come up.This was why Teresa watched Cecelia closely. Cecelia had insisted that she be part of the whole process but ever since the beginning she had been very silent. Teresa was attracted to the girl somehow, even though she was told the story of how she became a slave, she felt there was something different about this young girl. 

“What were you trying to do? Teresa asked again

“She is in so much pain; I was only trying to help. Watching her…”

“How were you planning to achieve that?”

“By sharing her pain” Cecilla replied, she had seen the technique Lylic had used earlier and her father had used the same technique on her several times to help share her pain and it worked. 

“How did you know how to do that? Who taught it to you?’ she asked

“I don’t know, I just know how to do it. I think I have read it somewhere” Cecelia replied with a warm smile though she was surprised at it.

“That’s sweet of you to do, dear, but there are some things she is meant to face on her own. Like the pain of motherhood. Sharing it won’t help her at all. But it would add more pain to her” Teresa explained

 (smiles) “I have been so busy that I haven’t gotten enough time to get to know you better.That will happen with time. You are such a good girl and I would like to know more about you and also your family as well” Teresa felt the little girl in front of her needed a hug and she couldn’t help but give her one. Cecelia was surprised by such a gesture but this was actually what she needed. The scene just now reminded her of the fact that her mother was gone which changed her entire facial look.

Cecelia stayed in her embrace and finally the cry of the third child was heard. 

“Finally” Lylic said clapping happily

“This was what the children meant by saying they would surprise her? I am Indeed surprised.``She was now a godmother to three kids. Roselle picking the child immediately did the necessary cleaning up and handed the child over to Beatrice for further cleaning. But to everyone’s surprise she still went back to the same position as if she wanted to receive another delivery. The stare and glare she got from everyone was beyond the necessary.

Everyone including the two old men were shocked “There is still another one” they all shouted in horror.

This left Lylic with laughter which she couldn't help off her face.

"(Sigh) such relief" That was Selom on the other hand who now feels normal.She wasn’t feeling any pain at all. She felt a fresh breeze that kept blowing through her as though it blew away the pains from her. The pain was gone.Seeing Roselle in such a position..she had this cold look leaving no option that to give up the struggling. Her legs were fully covered that nobody could see through the sheets except for the doctor collecting the delivery. Even Clara herself felt pity for Selom. Seeing Roselle nodding affirmatively, they all felt like crying.

 “There’s four of them?” Lylic asked placing her hands on her face; she had a painful expression that one could easily mistake her to be the woman in labor. It’s been over eight hours since they started this whole process.She felt like crying for Selom. Selom on the other hand felt refreshed and happy that there was no pain at all, how could there be another child? There was this feeling of ease and also emptiness, like there was nothing to push again. She felt empty, she felt no pain. Her grandfather and Elyrex were still giving her more energy which made her feel better and stronger. “I would kick your face if you don’t get it away from me, your damn face is in between my thighs'' Selom threatened. She really felt like giving her a terrible kick in the face.

“It seems the babies are all out” Clara said with a warm smile, they weren’t expecting three babies all at once. The triplets indeed came as a surprise,even Lylic was rendered speechless. 

“So this was what you kids meant by I would be surprised?” she said looking at the cute little child she held in her arms. Coming to think of it clearly she had spoken to the children, and this felt so good, she got the privilege no one had. Sometimes being good really pays off, that was why she was the nicest and the kindest amongst all her siblings. Just this feature made a lot of people relate to her easily but they all had no idea of what she becomes if she is being provoked by something or someone.

"This has indeed put a smile on our faces,three cute babies"Roselle said, staring at them with tears in her eyes which she was trying to prevent from rolling down her face. This attracted everyone's attention, the glass ice woman was about to shed a tear. How amazing!

"Let it out Roselle..we call them tears of Joy.You shouldn't prevent them. Let them out"Clara replied as she patted Roselle

Roselle, hearing what Clara said,had tears rolling down her face with warm smiles. "They are so cute and tiny" she said

Cecelia remained focused with her eyes fixed on the babies adoring nature and Creation.

"Can I…."

All:(Laughter) "you can" They all replied Cecelia

With a warm smile on her face..she took the babies singly but carefully, they were so tiny and it felt like if she wasn't careful enough they would fall off, having one in her hand,she stared at others comparing their resemblance.

"Wow …the cuties are one,they all look same"

"Such endowment is a blessing"Teresa replied

"Now that delivery is a success..we await joyous celebrations' 'The old man Elyrex said while he moved closer to tap the babies on the cheek. His was directly all this to Blaine, at least now his friend was now a great grandfather.

"I've always known babies to be cute.They are angels,So innocent.One could tell by the look in their eyes.Adults with such innocent eyes can only look like one but can never be as innocent as babies" Beatrice commented, she was fond of babies. 

"No wonder when yours grew up you abandoned them, they weren't cute anymore right? You really took after someone " Clara said looking at Elyrex, they were both bad parents

"You just have to bring that up, I have nothing in common with.. " Beatrice was about to say a word but immediately kept quiet because her daughter's weren't aware of the old man's identity.

Seeing the joy and happiness in the faces of everyone…Selom was overwhelmed, the Supreme had surprised her, giving her a wonderful gift like none other.

"This was never a mistake..it was a miracle which has brought us blessings"Clara said with her cheeks all puffy with smiles in dimension.

Cecelia stared at the first baby she held for about 5 mins and then handed him over and took the second which took about 5 mins before handing over for the third.They all wondered why Cecelia held them for 5 mins each.

"I never had chances to have such angels in my arms.If only.."Cecelia said, taking back the remnants of words through her neck to avoid spilling the unexpected which could lead to change in emotion. She suddenly misses her mom, the triplets were two boys and a girl, the girl was the youngest. This combination reminded her of her two brothers and herself.

She was about blaming death for taking her mom which ceased the opportunity of having a baby in her arms as her brothers did but to be frank even if her mother didn't die she would be the last child.This could indeed lead to distortion and hurt to her in particular.It seemed nobody paid attention to what she was saying.She realize no one was following.Else..someone would have asked. Of course..no half baked cake would taste good to anyone.

"Umm..if someone can be happy over a child delivered..how much more than three of them at once? Beatrice…did I ever tell you about the joy that almost killed me after your mom delivered?"Elyrex asked 

" 'Boom' Dad ..not here" Beatrice said, covering her face. Hell No! He didn't just say that. How would her girls take the news?

"Shh,you all.. listen, Beatrice and her sister Tina, almost killed me with joy.After birth..I was overwhelmed, planning alot for their mother..guess what happened next"

"Go on grandpa"Roselle and Lylic approved in excitement which got everyone laughing

"Wait! You all don't seem surprised?" She said looking at the three girls, Beatrice was surprised herself, this wasn't the reaction she was expecting from them.

"Surprised? (Laughing) We knew from the very beginning, we kind of found the old man very familiar but we couldn't recall where we knew him and how. So we had to find out and search everywhere to know what's up, and sure enough he was curious as well "
