"The baby was born prematurely and is now in an incubator."
"Take me to see them."
The nurse nodded slightly, left the ward first, and found another nurse to stay with Ruby Gregory. Then she took Steve Burton to the incubator room.
Leading Steve to three incubators in a row, the nurse turned her head, gave Steve a faint smile, and politely pointed to the three incubators, saying, "These are the triplets Ms. Gregory gave birth to."
The three babies were tiny, lying in the incubator with their eyes closed, wrapped in diapers, their gender indiscernible.
Steve looked at each of the three babies one by one, unable to tell which was male and which was female. In the end, he turned to the nurse that brought him and asked: "Are they all boys or girls?"
The nurse pointed to the first incubator and said, "This is a boy, the first one born."
Steve stepped forward, inspecting the first-born for a few moments before taking out his phone and snapping a few photos.
