I was there within 20 minutes of Brook and Kelsey getting there. The nurses where still getting Brook set up in her room. Sally Anderson showed up about 30 minutes after I did. Greg showed up about 6. Brook's dad and Sister Megan showed up around 8. Our girls began filtering in between 8 and 11. Mom and Dad showed up about 10. Kelsey left to use the bathroom about 9:30. She stopped in the waiting room to let the family know everything was OK.
Soon as I got in I checked Brook's dilation, it was at a 2. I checked her once an hour until she reached 7 then every half hour after. She reached full dilation just about 11. I knew it wasn't long until the girls came into the world.
At 11:20 Whitley Renee Reid was born, She was 5# 6oz 26” long 2 minutes later Riley Amanda Reid came into the world. All 5#2.4oz 27” of her.
I had informed the nurses that Riley is being raised as a girl.
While I finished taking care of Brook. Our granddaughters where checked by a pediatric nurse practitioner. As the girls where given to Brook, both had Kelsey's Green eyes and Brooks brown/blonde hair. I heard Kelsey tell Brook, “OH, Honey, I am so happy. We made such beautiful girls.” She was beaming. The family came in, to see the new addition to the Reid family, Riley and Whitley. I let the family visit for a little bit. Then shooed everyone out so Brook could get some needed rest. Kelsey and Brook fell asleep holding hands. They both sleep for about 7 hours. I in turn headed home for a couple hours sleep. I fell asleep with a smile, knowing I am officially a grandma. I slept just shy of 7 hours. When I got back to the hospital.
As I walked up to Brook's room. I over heard, “Whitley Renee Reid, you little stinker.” Brook said. Just then “Riley Amanda Reid now you too.” She giggled, as did Kelsey.
They let them finish eating, “Who do you want to change first, Whitley or Riley.”
“either one, their both stinkers.”
“OK, Take Riley first.” As soon as Brook moved Riley she began crying.
“Shhhhh, Riley Momma's here.” It seemed that Riley heard Brook as she quieted down. Even when Kelsey took her to the changing table. She stayed quiet. She did fuss a little when getting changed, but as soon as Kelsey picked her up again, she was content to be in Kelsey's arms.
She gave Riley back to Brook and changed Whitley. Like with Riley she fussed during the changing. But also quit when Mom picked her up. Kelsey rocked Whitley in her arms. Just looking at her.
Sitting in the rocking chair, Kelsey gently rocked her. Crying a little bit, “Sweetheart, I can believe we made such beautiful girls, They are so cute.”
“Yeah, we sure did.”
Brook gave Riley to Kelsey as she used the bathroom. She smiled as she rocked her daughters to sleep.
Brook returned to her bed. Quietly Brook whispered, “We have to make sure that Riley gets circumcised soon. I think they do it before they go home.”
“I'll make sure I ask mom.” She said as Riley squirmed a little. “I would too princess if they where going to take a knife to my un hum too.”
“They already did yours.” Brook gave an evil smile.
“Luckily I don't remember it. I was pretty young then.”
“I hope the girls don't take after you, I would be in trouble then.” brook teased.
“Why you don't want our girls to be cute, smart and adorable.”
Brook just rolled her eyes.” I'm in trouble now.”
I couldn't help but smile as I went in.
“How are all 4 of my girls doing tonight.”
“We are all doing great.”
“ So, you had your first of many messy diapers?”
“Yeah, I did. Where we the same one goes the rest go shortly after?”
“Sometimes, Riley will get circumcised just before you take her home.” At that Riley let out a little whine.
“Shhh, Mommies here. I know but it's better in the end. Mom can you take them as I need to us the potty too.”
“Sure, I will take my granddaughters anytime. I may not give them back though”
Both Brook and Kelsey just rolled their eyes. Looking at them I couldn't help but smile these little angels are my granddaughters. I sat in the rocker that Kelsey was in and gently rocked them.
Kelsey came back she sat on the edge of the bed. There was a knock on the door, It was Brooks parents and Meagan. I handed the twins off , Riley to Tom and Sally got Whitley. Meagan bounced back and forth from one to the other.
I explained what is going to happen. “So, tonight we are going to have the girls sleep in here with you. To make sure you can take care of them. Which I am sure you can. In the morning you will get the birth certificate paper work. Once that is filled out. They make sure the girls are doing OK eating and going. You are OK. You will both get the standard care speech. Then you are released. And can take my Angels home.”
“OK, Mom. You know I can sleep light enough that I wake up if I hear a fly fart. So I'm sure I will hear the girls.” Kelsey said.
Smiling as I left, “I know”
I did some paperwork the headed home. Greg was watching the news when I got home.
“So, how are the girls?”
“All 4 of them are doing great.” I said with a smile.
“Good to hear, Grandma.”
“Yeah, Gramps. And I love every second of it.”
I snuggled with Greg on the couch. Until after the news we headed to bed. The next morning was a little over cast. I called in and gave the nurses my order, As long as everything was OK. Brook is cleared to leave along with the girls. Me and Greg resumed our life. Just after I got home that night, I got a call from Kelsey. Brook and the girls where home. The dogs just adore the girls.
Brook started her senior year along with Keira, Keely, and Karla. Just after labor day. Kelsey stayed home as a stay at home mom. Which she loved doing. Her and Brooks rinks where run by the new Managers. Kelsey came out to their assistant managers about them owning them. Then they offered to let them run the rinks. Which they accepted. Keely came home one day from school.
“Mom, there is a rumor going around school that Brook was pregnant and had twins.”
“Oh, What did you say?”
“It was news to me same for Karla and Keira.”
“Didn't Brooks sister start at Ridgemore this year?” I asked.
“Yeah, we see her in the halls.”
“Do you know if they have bothered her about it.”
“Don't know. I'm going to finish my homework the go over Gail's” Keely said.
“OK, are you going to be home for dinner?”
“Don't know yet. Probably not.” She said as she took off.
Keira and Karla came in shortly after. Karla as normal hopped on the couch with a book.
“AH, Miss Karla. You know that homework comes first. Even before reading.”
Looking up, “Ma, this is my homework. Everything else was done in class.”
“OK.”
Keira went straight to the study to practice. As normal. As for Kennedy, Kendra, and Kalley. Kennedy is working at becoming a chef. She is at the most prestigious culinary school, in New York. Kalley is off to school at MIT. She received a full ride scholarship. Kendra is a little closer to home. She is going to UofM Ann Arbor, Where both me and Greg went.
Kelsey wound up letting us know that Meagan, Brooks sister was also questioned by other students about Brook having twins over the summer. She kept the secret and said, First I heard of it, Her sister was never pregnant.
Of course being Brook is a senior this year. She doesn't have to take gym class. So she doesn't have to hide what little stretch marks she has. Plus she is working on getting rid of them.
Kelsey brought the girls in for their check up and second set of shots. Both where great at getting the shots. Of course Grandma had to show off her Granddaughters.
Me and Greg got to watch them a couple times until Mommie graduated. To let Kelsey and Brook out for a date night without the girls. Sally and Tom also watched the girls.
Of course our granddaughters got spoiled rotten for Christmas. Getting loads of stuff from everybody.
May rolled around and the triplets and Brooks prom and graduation. Again we flew Greg's mom in for it. Both Kennedy and Kendra where home on summer break.
Brook, Keira, Keely and Karla graduated with honors. Again the whole family was their, including Kelsey and Brooks little ladies. Of course there was an argument on who would hold them. Grandma's won out but relinquished the girls to Great Grandma's about half way through. Although grandpas carried the girls down to meet mommy on the main floor afterwords.
The family waited at a predetermined spot. As soon as Brook spotted them she ran over to them. Followed by Karla, Keira, and Keely.
About 10 ft away, “Theirs, my two angels.”
Whitley and Riley must have heard mom as they both turned to see her coming up. Hugs all around, She took the twins in her arms and gave them a kiss. Then Kelsey too.
Of course pictures where mandatory.
As the milled around talking. A few of Brook's class mates, walked by congratulating Brook and the triplets. More than once I over heard their classmates saying. “I told you she had twins.” and “See she is a lesbian she is holding hands with I think Kelsey Reid.”

love reading your stories
I love reading your stories. A lot of what you mention brings back fond memories of when I worked for the Blue Oval back in the early 1990's. Rented a house from my uncle on Leroy Street in Rouge. Cruised Jefferson, Fort, and Telegraph many times. While visiting my dad's brother in Trenton back around 1970, I went to my first MLB game. Yes we sat in the cheap seats, on green boards at that. Been a Tigers Fan ever since. Was in Novi for training last year and was able to see family that still live in the Wayne/Macomb areas.
