Just like it always is during the yuletide season, snow filled the entire street, even the rental car is all snowy. Striding few steps to her car, hugging her jacket closer, two little boys appeared from nowhere running towards her with tears in their eyes. Their little arms dangling as they tried to run even faster than Their legs could carry them. Sophia did not fail to take note of the striking resemblance between the two.
They looked like twins.
They both took a leg of hers each, hugged it close, leaving her startled for a few seconds.
Judging from their size they looked five years or maybe younger. Concern filled her features instantly, squatting to their level. "What's wrong guys?"
Rather than getting an immediate response somewhat, she got their expectant eyes filled with tears. Sophy gently took a hold of their wrists inorder to free herself from their grip, only to be held more strongly.
'Who are you babies?'
They busted down in tears...
" Why does trouble always follow me around? Do I have a "kick me" sign on my back or something? She mutters to herself as she endeavored to calm the crying toddlers.
She accessed them, they weren't dressed warm enough for the weather and she was worried that they could get frost bite from standing out in the cold for so long.
" Shushh...... stop crying.... What is wrong??" She asks in the softest voice she could bring out as she carried them both in each arm. She suddenly felt her heart twitch when she looked at their faces for the first time.
They were the most adorable babies she'd ever seen. Their cheeks were red probably from the cold, coupled with the fact that they were crying. Their eyes were huge like those a doll and their long lashes were wet from crying.
Hugging them to herself, she walks back to her apartment's but they tugged her, pointing towards her neighbor's house. Although, she frowned, she walked towards the house but stops at the entrance. They didn't cease pointing at the entrance.
She set them down, crouched to their length so she could talk easy to them. 'Sooo. you guys should at least say something to me before I proceed inside that house'
They pouted their cheeks, exchanged knowing glances.
After holding them for a few minutes, they finally stopped crying and she got them to tell them their names. One was Ethan and the other, Logan.
"Where are your parents?" She asked them.
"Daddy isn't waking up." Logan replied with a very soft voice.
"And mommy?" She asked again.
"She went to heaven." Ethan replied this time, making Sophia wish she hadn't asked. .
"Can you take me to your daddy?" She asks.
They immediately started walking into the apartment with Logan leading the way and Ethan grabbing her hand as if she might disappear if they Lost physical contact
With a confused look, she followed them into the house. Just like hers, their apartment consisted of two rooms, a living room already decorated with Christmas lighting, tree and bells.
Walking into one of the bedrooms, she finds a rather huge man lying shirtless on the floor, with another little boy who looks exactly like Ethan and Logan kneeling next to him. They were actually triplets, she realized, not twins.
Turning her attention back to the man on the floor, Sophia finds herself blushing involuntarily.
He had the hottest body any man could ever have. Although his face was pale, one could easily tell how handsome he was. His long lashes rested on his cheeks and his bushy eyebrows made him look more sexier. She knelt close to his unresponsive body.
After examining him, she let out a sigh of relief. He still had a pulse, though weak.
She called 911 and explained the situation to them. Seeing that it was impossible for her to move him to a more comfortable position till the ambulance came, she wrapped him in the blankets she found on the bed instead.
'Is Daddy going to be fine?' One of the triplets asked, fear evident in his large, round eyes.
She gathered him closer to her. 'I promise, Daddy's going to be just fine' she whispered soothingly. The Ambulance arrived almost ten minutes after to do their jobs.
'His kids came to call me for help. I met him lying on the floor, his pulse, quite weak...' Sophia tried to explain the scenario she met to the team.
'He'll be fine. He fainted. A reaction from too much fatigue.'.
'Thank you'
The boys were all glued to her side the whole time,. looking up to her expectantly. Basically, she'd be the one explain the what the lady told her.
'Daddy Will be fine' She said, much more reassuringly this time.
She took the boys back to her apartment when the ambulance wheeled their father away. It wasn't until she got inside it dawned on her how messy her apartment actually looked. She had rushed into her dress and tried to rush to Paisley so they could meet at the club.
'Arghhh. That's right. Paisley would be damn annoyed once she finds out I'm not gonna make ittt' Sophia groaned.
She turned to the boys. 'How about you sit down here while I arrange the house. I'm gonna be quick about it' A nervous giggle acknowledged her statement.
They complied and it took her exactly two Hours to get her home perfect and neat again. By the time, the trio were already fast asleep, nuzzled on one another. Worst of all, Sophia met sixteen missed calls from Paisley too. Just as she was about to return the calls from Paisley, another came in.
The loud, blaring music from the background was the first thingy that welcomed Sophia's ears before Paisley yells.
'Girll. I've been here for almost one hour. Where in Jupiter's c**k are youuu?!!' she cussed.
'I'm sorry.. An issue came up. I can't make it today.'.
'What issue? More tears over your ex!'.
'Not that!'
'Then What?'
'I'll talk to you later, I'm trying to think of what to do right now, Pais. A little hint though, I've got three little boys in my home right now'
'What?!! You're now a baby sitter?'. Paisley clamored, screaming amidst the blasting music.
'Talk to you later. Kisses and Hugs'. Sophia ended the call before Paisley comes up with more interrogations.
'Am I supposed to leave them to sleep or wake them to eat?' Sophia asked herself the hundredth time before actually waking up the one she assumed to be Ethan. Luckily for her, He's such a light sleeper.
'Help me out, Ethan. What to cook for dinner for you guys?:'
'Pittttttzzzzerrrrrr?' he said, a little hint of excitement in his voice.
Sophia giggled. 'Guess we'll order some from 'pitzer' hut then'.
