“Itold you,” Olivia exclaimed with no lack of humility as she reached for her andher sister’s pickle.
“Yeahok I believe you,” Gabriel grabbed some more money from his pocket. “Go withyour uncle to cheer for Monica.”
Bothhis and Tobias’s daughters were playing on the same day. Since Monica was ayear younger she was on another team.
“Awwthat is sweet,” the lady behind him in line laughed. “You have triplets.”
LaughingGabriel smiled proudly as she caught sight of his girls following Kevin up thebleachers.
“Nonot exactly,” he corrected. “Those two are twins and the other is named butunborn sitting at seven months inside their mom.”
Thelady smiled, “You are so lucky.”
