Round 2 – Summer evening with a glass of…lemonade
It was a hot summer evening a year ago when the triplets met in the garden of their parents’ house. Coming together to celebrate their parents’ thirtieth wedding anniversary over a long weekend each of the sisters had own story to share. After listening to each other, laughing and crying together it turned out all of them had something in common, they were going to become mothers.
The oldest triplet took the split from her long-term boyfriend hard. While she was busy at work she had little to no time to think about all her dreams that vanished into thin air with his departure, but the late afternoons and evenings became her real enemy. It wasn’t long after the split when she bumped into an old childhood friend in a grocery store. He returned back to town after leaving the army and turned out to be a good distraction for her lonely evenings. The two of them gradually spent more and more time together enjoying each other’s company. Their relationship had been strictly friendly until that one evening when they had one too many glasses of wine, the triplet mentioned the crush she had on him in eighth grade and one thing lead to another… A month later the home pregnancy test only confirmed what she already knew, she was pregnant.
The middle triplet spent a good chunk of the year positioned in Europe where she was covering all news related to European Union as well as the impending Brexit. Without her circle of friends, in a foreign country her evenings were often spent in a corner table of one of many pubs in the city where she could catch up on the work she still had to finish. It was not uncommon for a guy to try to join her there, but with years of experience she already knew how to handle them. Well, except that one guy that was so persistent that she closed her laptop for the day, allowed him to buy her a beer and later left the pub with. When she woke up the next morning he was gone, not that she complained at that moment. When her period did not arrive when it was supposed to weeks later she realized that all she knew about the baby’s father was his first name.
The youngest triplet was certainly not looking for commitment when she started hooking up with one of her frequent customers. He adored her paintings and as it later turned out adored their author as well. For the first time in her life someone made her feel like what she was doing was worth it and the feeling was driving her forward when she spent hours behind the closed doors of her room working on one painting after another. Whatever free time she had was spent with her boyfriend. It felt weird to call someone her boyfriend at first, but she got accustomed to it quickly. She should have known that things went too good for too long and when the two lines stared back at her from the pregnancy test she was thrown back into reality. She was so not ready to be a mother.
