Finally a couple of days after Winterfest, Don got a call at work from a FRANTIC Tomas.

“IT HURTS!” he screamed. “PLEASE COME HOME!”

Don flew out of RainyDay Entertainment like a lightning bolt and ran all the way to their little house in Willow Creek. Tomas was in the front yard waiting for him. He was in too much pain to talk.

Don did what he could to calm Tomas down and get him to breathe through the contractions, but knew he would have to get him to the hospital soon. 

When they arrived at Willow Creek Hospital, Don was so proud of how well Tomas was holding up under the pain.

They were immediately admitted to the ER and an Obstetrician checked Tomas’ progress.

One of the doctors was astounded that Tomas was pregnant and in labor and wanted to be involved in the birth somehow so stuck around. 

Growing up, Don had never really had a home - he had bounced around here and there in the foster system after his parents died so abandoning Tomas and the triplets never even crossed his mind. 

He’d been with so many women, and now he understood why he never felt fulfilled with any of them. THIS was where he was meant to be. HERE with Tomas. He had to make it last, but he had to admit, he was worried. He’d never stayed with anyone very long before. The only thing he knew to do was to care for the babies.....

Oh yes he did, both he and Tomas - each spent many a night sleeping in that chair.....

As soon as they had the babies settled in, Don made his move......

Thank the Heavens! Tomas said yes and now they were on their way to making a life with each other! What could go wrong???? (art by mnewi1103)

After Tomas came clean to Don, Don knew he could trust him. He did everything he could to help Tomas get through his pregnancy, and it was not easy. He would slip into bed late at night after cleaning up when Tomas was sick, he learned to cook so he could make sure Tomas had enough to eat.

He actually discovered he really LOVES to cook!

Meanwhile, Tomas was getting bigger and bigger and spending much more time in the bathroom. They finally went to Tomas’s ultrasound appointment and found out he was actually carrying THREE babies!

It didn’t seem to hurt their sex life, though. In fact, Don was kinda turned on by Tomas being pregnant. He still wished they were his own babies, but he knew he would love them with everything he had.

So the Doctors gave Tomas an Epidural for the C-Section they were about to perform 

Tomas was careful not to move. 

Then when enough time had passed for it to be effective, Tomas was transferred to the OR so the doctors could deliver the babies. Don was horrified and overjoyed and terrified and excited and everything all at once. He really didn’t know what to do, but he did his best to support Tomas.

Tomas had been worried Don would run away and leave him at the hospital alone to face the birth of three alien babies, but Don drew every ounce of strength he possessed and stood his ground and stayed there to be with Tomas the man he loved.

And after what seemed like an eternity, first came little Theo

Then came Cameron

and FINALLY last, but not least, little Elodie joined the couple who were overwhelmed with everything that was going on.
