It had been nearly four days since Allie had been admitted into the hospital. The triplets were seeming to get stronger, but their mother had yet to come out of the coma she had been in. Keith had barely left her bedside unless he was with the babies. Both he and Allie's families had been in and out of the hospital to see her and give him a break so that he could go home or simply sleep. Their extended family from Celtic Thunder had also come to see how the new family was faring. Everyone could see the worry and wear on Keith's face, but no one dared utter a word unless he needed something.
"And see here,"Keith pointed to his phone,"Maddie is getting bigger every day, sometimes I think it's every hour. Gabriel is still the runt, but I can tell, he's the one who was doing all the kicking in there. And Matthew, well he definitely looks like you. They are waiting for you, Allie-cat, waiting for their mommy", he scrubbed a hand over his unshaven face feeling the growth and knowing what he must look like,"You carried them Al, you did all the work, you can't give up. Please", he kissed her hand,"Please wake up, baby."
Emmet looked at his friend through the window and sighed,"It's been four days, she hasn't moved."
"This could be the day though", Neil attempted to sound optimistic,"I mean, look how well the kids are doing. Allie could come around at any point."
"What if she doesn't?", he shoved his hands in his pockets,"What if Keith becomes a single dad?"
"Then we all become fathers", Ryan said,"I mean, we're his mates right? We couldn't let him go through it alone."
"Get the doctor!", Keith threw the door open.
"What happened?", Emmet looked worried.
"She moved.......her.....her...fingers", he stammered. He raced back into the room as the others went to get the doctor,"Come on, Allie-cat, open those eyes. Please my love", he sat on the edge of the bed stroking her hand,"That's it," he felt the tears slide down his cheeks as her eye lids fluttered.
Everything was blurry, she couldn't focus, but she could hear his voice. She searched for his face, her husband, the one who had pulled her back to consciousness. Her eyes finally found his, she opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.
"Welcome back", Keith choked back a sob as he pressed his cheek against her palm,"The doctor is coming," he composed himself as best as possible,"The babies are okay, they have names and everything. When you're strong enough, we'll take you to see them.

Keith waited outside with Neil, Emmet, and Ryan, while the doctor examined Allie. He paced the floor chewing on his thumb nail.
"She didn't say anything to you?", Emmet asked.
"No," Keith shook his head,"she tried, but nothing came out. But she hasn't had anything to eat or drink in four days either."
"I'm sure she'll be okay", Neil said as the door opened.
"How is she?", Keith asked quickly.
"She is doing well, her vitals are stable. I had the nurses remove the feeding and breathing tubes. The incisions are clean and healing properly." the doctor answered.
"Thank you", he released the breath he had been holding,"Is she talking at all?"
"Some", he nodded,"She's very hoarse right now, as she takes in more liquids it will get better. She was asking for you", he held the door open.
He nodded and looked to the other three men. They all gave approving smiles before he disappeared into the hospital room,"Hey beautiful", he sat on the edge of the bed,"Doc says you are doing very well."
"He said I was out for four days", she hated the way her voice sounded,"The babies, they are okay?"
"They're fine", he nodded pulling out his phone. He lay next to her and began scrolling through the photos telling her about each one of their children. Talking about each one; how far they had come in just a few days, how he was able to hold their hands through the incubators and the time that Emmet, Neil, and Ryan had spent with them.
"I was sure I would lose them", she said as tears soaked into her husband's shirt,"It hurt and the blood."
"Shhh, shhh", he soothed her,"You didn't lose them though, and I didn't lose anyone of you. Our family is whole and we're going to be okay."
"When can I see them?"
"Just as soon as the doctor is okay with you getting out of bed. We don't want you to get over tired when you just woke up."
She nodded and curled herself further into his arms,"I love you."
"I love you too", he said stroking her hair.
****************************************************
The triplets came home in mid December after finally being cleared by the different doctors who had been caring for them. Gabriel still needed extra care due to his small size, but Keith and Allie hd been given everything needed to care for him at home.
"Home sweet home", Keith said carrying two of the car seats, Allie came behind him with the other.
"Welcome home guys", Alli said placing Gabriel's carrier on the couch next to Maddie and Matthew,"Finally here", she sighed looking at her children.
"Shall we show them around?", Keith looked at her as he began unbuckling his daughter.
"Of course", she replied following his actions. She lifted Gabriel from his carrier, Keith had to handle Maddie and Matthew due to Allie's lifting restrictions, that they hoped would be soon be taken away. They took the triplets to the nursery, talking to them and cooing over small motion they made. The quiet was soo filled with one baby's cry for hunger and the others quickly followed suit,"Feeding time, Daddy."
"Bottles are coming up", he said as he took Maddie and Matthew back to their carriers in order to prepare bottles. Allie did the same with Gabriel. After they were fed and changed, they drifted off to sleep.
Allie stood in the nursery watching her children sleep. Her heart was over flowing with the love that she had for them. Knowing they were home and safe, that they had been brought safely into the world and stayed alive despite their rough beginning.
"Hey mama," Keith said slipping his arms around her from behind,"You okay?", he kissed her cheek.
"Fine", she replied leaning against him,"Beyond fine", she laughed quietly.
"Come on", he took her hand pulling her from the nursery.
"Keith!", she exclaimed as she saw the candle light around the living room and two glasses of wine,"What is all this?"
"Just thought we could use a little relaxtion after these few months", he kissed her softly.
"This is perfect", she smiled pulling his face back to hers,"Thank you."
"You're welcome", he led her to the couch,"For you", he handed her a glass as he settled next to her.
"To our children being home", she toasted her glass to his.
"To our family being under one roof, safe and sound."
"I couldn't agree more", she said taking a sip. She curled her legs under her as Keith wrapped an arm around her shoulders,"So, tomorrow we'll talk to the guys?"
"Yep, they will be over in the afternoon. Told them they couldn't come before that."

Keith scrubbed a hand over his face as he heard the squalls coming from the nursery. He felt Allie's side of the bed and it was empty. Of course she would be with the babies already, he thought to himself as he stumbled out of bed.
"Hey", Allie said as he came in pulling on a tshirt,"Maddie woke up, Gabe needed his breathing treatmeant, and of course that meant Matthew just had to wake up to see what was going on.
"Course you did, big boy", Keith scooped his son out of the crib,"It's okay", he cooed gently rocking the baby. The cries subsided to soft whimpers as he enjoyed the rocking motion of his father's arms,"Gabriel doing okay?"
"Yeah", she replied not looking up from her son,"he's a trooper, aren't you my love?", the baby wrapped a finger around hers as his eyes drifted to a close,"I fed and changed Maddie, but the boys need a bottle."
"Matthew and daddy will take care of that", he kissed the top of her head as he went to warm up two bottles,"You know Matt, your mommy and daddy will have to get sleep at some point. But I know, you're hungry and have no clue what I'm talking about. So let's get those bottles." he carefully handled the baby in his arms as he prepared the bottles and carried them back to the nursery,"We we go", he handed one to Allie as she removed the breathing treatment mask from Gabriel's small face.
"Hungry", she said as the baby took the bottle and ate hungrily. They finished feeding the boys and made sure they were asleep before returning to their room.
"Night one," Keith yawned dropping onto his side of the bed.
Allie laughed as she lay next to him,"We have three healthy babies and I will take the three hour feedings and diaper changes over not having any one of them."
"I completely agree", he said pulling her into his arms,"I have everything I care about in this house."
"Me too", she kissed him softly.
