John‟s Point a view
I stormed out of Amelia‟s house, slamming the door behind me walking in a random direction. I cannot believe what I had just found out.
I had been in love with Amelia since we were little before I went away the first time. I had fallen even more in love with her over the year. I had been furious that somebody had gotten her pregnant. She deserved more out of life.
She was smart and beautiful and should have been able to go to college, find a great husband, get a job, have a few kids when the time came and lived a full life, and somebody destroyed those plans. Now I knew that that person was me…
I was the reason that Amelia had to drop out of school, the reason that she looked like she had not slept in years,
she probably didn't get much sleep with three babies. Holy Cow, three babies… I wasn't the father of one baby. I was the father of three kids and I had not helped at all in over a year. I had always felt disgusted at men who didn't help out with their kids, now I was one of them.
I stopped walking and realized that I didn't know where I was; great. I walked into a bar I spotted a few blocks away. It smelt like old cigar smoke, cheap sex, and stale alcohol. I spotted a free barstool and made my way over to order something strong… and lots of it…

Normal (Amelia‟s) Point a view
I had just left Olivia sobbing in the other room. I don‟t care though, as far as I was concerned, she was no friend of mine anymore. I felt betrayed. Maybe that was because I was betrayed, by my best friend. She had lied to me for over a year, she had kept the biggest secret of my life to herself. I had never been so furious. I quietly opened the door to the triplets‟ nursery.
I love the way it looks. All three of them were asleep in their cots. I looked down at each of them and could see their dad in them… John. I wasn't sure how I had missed it before. They had the same blonde hair, but then again Jake had blonde hair also, and the same blue eyes that I had stared into not that long ago. John was Ava, Mae and Adams‟ dad.
Wow, how life can change in the blink of an eye. I had never thought about that statement apart from when somebody dies; now I knew better. One conversation, one innocent slip of the tongue and over five people‟s lives are changed forever. I had no idea where John went, probably running as far away as he could.
I could see why Olivia had done it, but it was wrong, so f**king wrong. I had hated Jacob for leaving and denying his children for over a year, but how could I blame him? He was pushed into a situation, which he should have never been pushed into.
I could never, ever trust Olivia again and I seriously thought that I would never see John again. I woke up suddenly, not noticing where I had fallen asleep. My eyes adjusted to see that I was still in the triplets‟ room, except now the sun was up, and so were my babies.
