“That's right! You'll look great holding a bouquet because you're a girl. Just like an angel,” Jamie chimed in.
“Alright, then I'll hold the bouquet.” Persuaded by her brothers, Ellie eventually caved in. “Then who's going to carry the ring?”
“Of course it'll be me!” Jamie raised his hand.
“There will be two ring boxes. We can carry one each. I'll carry mommy's while you hold daddy's.” Robbie split the tasks up evenly.
“Alright! We'll go with that!”
Zachary found his children's discussion endearing, and his lips curved upwards involuntarily. “Look at you, all worried about the wedding. Alright now, go back to your rooms to change. We'll be heading out soon.”
“Heading out? Daddy, where are we going?” The children piped up instantaneously.
“I'm taking you all out to dinner.” Zachary pinched their faces adoringly. “Mommy is already getting ready. You should go do the same.”
“Yay! Awesome!” The children exclaimed in delight.
Zachary beckoned the medical staff to bring the triplets back to their rooms.
Charlotte was joyfully selecting her outfit when her head started throbbing in pain. Worrying that someone might find out about her condition, she held her forehead and rushed to the bathroom.
This time, the pain was accompanied by a nosebleed. Charlotte was thrown into a frenzy.
She quickly locked the bathroom door and hovered over the sink, spots of red speckling the white porcelain. She patted some cool water on the back of her neck, hoping that it would stop the nosebleed.
Blood dripped from her nose ceaselessly. A wave of agony washed over her, and she collapsed to the floor as she succumbed to the pain.
When Zachary went back to their room to change, Charlotte was nowhere to be seen.
The sound of running water penetrated the closed bathroom door. Zachary paid it no heed at first and busied himself with changing his clothes. However, he realized after a while that there was no movement behind the door.
Finding the situation peculiar, Zachary rapped the door with his knuckles. “Charlotte, are you ready?”
There was no response.
