Author's Note: A short quick drabble about the joy and fear of pregnancy. Also, I've just updated my other story "A Story of Boy Meets Girl", so please check it out!

Chapter Forty Six: Triplets
Triplets. Three children.
Ben was rooted to the floor, complete shock coursing through him, and he couldn't seem to wrap his mind around the fact that they were having triplets. He was excited, of course, and happy, but more than anything he was scared.
One child was going to have a tremendous impact on their lives, but three? How were they going to handle THREE kids at once? Sure, he wanted to have a couple, but he had planned to space them out. Give himself and Leslie some time to adjust to their new lives. But now, they had no time to adjust or get prepared. In a few months time, hardly any time, Ben would be the father of three children, all of whom were depending on him. It was such a terrifying, overwhelming thought that it took his breath away.
Ben turned to look at his wife, to see if she was experiencing the same feelings he was, but when he looked into those blue eyes he saw only radiant joy. Love and happiness shone from her entire face and her mouth was stretched into the widest smile he had ever seen. Ben knew in that moment that he was an absolute idiot.
This was nothing but good news. He was going to be a father. He and his wife, the woman he loved, were going to have children! Sure, it was more than he expected, but that just meant that they were blessed. It didn't matter that money would be tight, that he was scared, and that this new chapter of his life would be more chaotic than his wildest imaginings. All that mattered was that they had each other. They would figure out the rest as they went along.
Thank you for reading! Please review! Like I did in my other story, I want to take this moment to thank the cast and crew of Parks and Recreation for creating such an amazing series! I've loved watching it and writing about it. Also, thank you to all my wonderful readers! You guys put up with my horrendous updating skills and only have kind words, so thank you all. I hope that you'll continue to enjoy my writing, even though the show has ended.
