Page 41 of Triplet Babies for the Billionaire
Amy pulls away slightly to look at me, confusion in her eyes. “Then what the hell is going on?”
I point shakily toward the bathroom floor, where the pregnancy tests lie discarded in a pile. Her eyes follow the motion, and when she sees them, her mouth falls open in shock.
“No,” she breathes, her voice barely above a whisper. “Blossom...are you...?”
I nod, my hands trembling as I clutch them in my lap. “I’m pregnant, Amy.” The words hang in the air like a lead weight I can’t escape.
Amy’s face softens, and she leans forward, pulling me back into her arms. “Oh my God, Bee...” she whispers, and I can feel the warmth of her embrace. For a moment, I’m comforted, but the fear still gnaws at my insides.
Amy stays close to me, her hands rubbing soothing circles on my back as I sit on the edge of the bed, trying to catch my breath. My tears have slowed, but the weight of the situation still lingers, suffocating me.
She sits down beside me, her presence calming, and without a word, pulls me into her again, wrapping her arms tightly around me. I can feel her heartbeat steady against mine, and it helps. A little.
“Whatever happens, you know I’m always going to be your best friend, right?” she says, her voice steady but filled with emotion. “No matter what, you’ve got me.”
I sniffle and nod, grateful for her. I don’t know how I’d be holding it together without her by my side.
Amy pulls back slightly, her eyes searching mine. “Do you want this baby, Bee?” she asks softly. “I know things are complicated, but...do you want to have this child?”
I pause, my heart racing at the thought of it. The truth is, I do. Despite the fear, despite the uncertainty, there’s a part of me that wants this. I want to give a child a life. A good one.
“I do,” I say, my voice barely above a whisper. “But I’m scared, Amy. I don’t know how Noah is going to handle it. I’m terrified that he’ll push me away.”
Amy nods understandingly, but there’s a sense of resolve in her eyes. “You deserve to have the family you want. And if Noah’s the right guy for you, he’ll step up.”
Amy doesn’t let up, sitting next to me with a determined look in her eyes. “Blossom,” she says, her tone serious. “You need to tell Noah.Now.”
The words make my stomach flip. I don’t know if I’m ready.
“I don’t know if I can,” I murmur, my voice quivering. “What if he rejects me? What if he doesn’t want this? What if he pushes me away? What if he doesn’t want a kid?”
Amy gives me a firm look, her expression unyielding. “Noah would be thedickheadin that situation. And I don’t think he’s the type to run away from responsibility. He’s been through too much in his life to leave you hanging.”
But even as she says that, my fear lingers. “But...my dad wasn’t there for me. I don’t want to do this alone. I don’t know if I can trust him.”
Amy’s face softens, her voice gentle but strong. “I know. I know your dad wasn’t there, Bee. But you’ve got to give Noah the chance to show up. You owe him that much. You can’t carry this on your own forever.”
She leans closer, her hand resting on mine. “And youdefinitelydon’t want Courtney to be the one to tell him first. God forbid she gets a chance to run her mouth about it before you do.”
I shudder at the thought of Courtney making this situation worse. “You’re right,” I whisper. “I need to tell him. I just...I need to find the right time.”
I take a deep breath, my mind still racing. “I just don’t know how to break the news to him, Amy. I mean, how do you even start a conversation like that?”
Amy gives me a small smile, squeezing my hand reassuringly. “I get it. It’s a lot. But you’ve got to do it soon, before things get even more complicated. You don’t want this hanging over you, especially not with all the drama Courtney’s stirring up. She’s just waiting for the chance to blow everything out of proportion.”
I nod slowly, taking in her words. I know she’s right. The longer I wait, the harder it’ll be. And I don’t want to let Courtney get any further under my skin. I have to tell Noah, for my sake and for the baby’s.
“Okay,” I say, my voice steadying. “I’ll do it. I just need to figure out the right moment.”
Amy smiles at me, giving me a supportive look. “You’ll figure it out. And I’ll be here, no matter what.”
I give her a weak smile, the fear still bubbling in my chest, but for the first time today, I feel a little bit lighter. I can do this. With Amy by my side, I know I’m not alone.

As I glance at Blossom's text, my heart skips a beat.
