Chapter 77 – Slipping (Anj‘s POV) 

“Wife?” Dylan glowered at Sky. 

Selene giggled, brushing the strands of hair loosened from the ponytail I did. “You looked funny, Uncle Dylan,” she said and ran to her father. “Daddy, my hair,” 

“Let‘s talk about this later, Dylan. Not in front of my kids, please,” I glanced at Sky, squatting to fix Selene‘s hair. I wish I could hear what he was telling her because she was nodding; her face glowed like a full moon in the excitement of what she was hearing. 

I was beginning to become jealous because this had never happened before. Whenever there was a problem, it was always Mommy, not Daddy. Sighing, I walked past Dylan, plastered a big smile at Mrs. Antonetta, whom I would only see now, and opened my arms to her. “There‘s the traitor!” She squinted her eyes and pouted at me. “A traitor?” I laughed, pushing the brim of my eyeglasses as I embraced her. “Happy birthday!” I said, kissing her on the cheek. 

Like any grandmother, my presence, whom she treated as her granddaughter, already brought her to tears. 

“I missed you, child!” She sniffed and peeked at my shoulder. “Where are the little walking brains?” 

I almost guffawed at her word. I turned to my back and gestured my hand to come closer to me. They all draw themselves together at Sky, wrapping their tiny arms around him as if it was dangerous to come forward. He had to lower his head, whispered, probably, promises in their ears, and they started stepping forward. 

Mrs. Antonetta, the residents, and staff who saw the triplets for the first time gasped, looking at them with awe. 

My, My! Look at you. I wondered if Mommy got a piece of her big brain in you,” She chuckled, opening her arms to them. “Good Lord, she must have prayed too much that heaven blessed her with three.”
