Chapter 10

“Baby when the kids are at our house they will go by our rules. When they are home they go by their mom’s rules.” Jon told her with a smile. ”I honestly I don’t think our rules are going to be horribly different. For example in Dot’s house they can’t spend the night at a friends house unless she’s met that kids parents, would you allow our child to spend the night at a friends house if we didn’t know their parents?”

“No.”

“See baby, lets talk about some rules but I bet that you and Dot are more similar when it comes to the kids than you realize.” Jon kissed Danielle and laid down cuddling with her while they talked.

Within the next month, Jon and Danielle became parents, all before the babies were born, they talked rules and how they planned on disciplining the kids, they talked about what they wanted for their kids as far as religion, Jon having removed himself from the Catholic Church agreed on raising the kids Methodist like Danielle. He found the church they were married in very beautiful and welcoming. Before the end of her pregnancy they had talked about family traditions on both sides and if they wanted to continue them or stop them.

“Dani I want to be 100% honest with the kids, which is a tradition I started with my first four that I want to continue with ours. I don’t believe in lying to the kids, my parents did it to me they’d tell me little white lies when I asked a question that shocked them, then of course somewhere down the road I found out the truth and honestly it took away a little from how I looked at them.” He said all in one breathe.

“Ok Jon. I understand why but tell me more, are you saying we tell them everything, including how we got married without truly knowing each other and well do you remember our wedding? The one where we did not say I love you to each other the entire time? Do you want our kids to know all that? Not only that but what about the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus if we don’t lie to them at all then they don’t get those portions of childhood either.”

“That’s not the type of lying I’m referring to.” Jon tried to clarify.

“Please enlighten me then.” Danielle has gotten very good at getting info from him before going off the handle.

“I mean if they directly ask us a question, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy stuff is traditional innocent kid fun, I’m talking if our daughter one day asks you if you had sex before marriage, I don’t want your answer to be no- because somehow she’d find out and then we’d look like untrustworthy parents.”

"Ok that much I can agree to." With that Jon and Dani cuddle up as best as the can, she however doesnt' get any sleep that night, the babies will not stop moving.

Finally about 2am Jon rolls over. "Baby will you stop moving around"

"I'm not the kids are." She told him and he smiled.

When Jon kept feeling her moving he asked again, "Baby are you ok?"

"No I can't get comfortable." Dani moved off the bed.

"Come on honey, lets go get in the pool maybe that will calm our children down." He smiled and took her by the hand walking with her down the off white hallway and finally reaching the entrance of the pool. Jon quickly stripped his wife naked and followed suit on his side, stepping into the pool he smiled and started rubbing her back.



Jon noticed Dani wince regularly. “Honey lets get out of the pool I think the babies may be wanting to come out.” He smiled eager to meet the triplets. Danielle wasn’t about to argue with him this time. After all Jon has four other children he should know what labor looks like by now.

As they moved out of the pool and sat down with towels wrapped around them, Jon rubbed her back and tried to ease her through the beginnings of labor. He had no idea how long it would last with this being Dani’s first pregnancy but a multiple birth.

About an hour later, Danielle was fed up, nothing seemed to be progressing but she was still in pain. “Jon make love to me.”

“What baby?”

“You heard me, I want to love you, just like we caused them maybe we can make them come out that way too.”

“Hey I am all for making love to my wife. Come here baby.” With that Jon does his best ease her pains as well as encourage labor by giving her a nice sound lovemaking session. With her current condition and size the only option available to them was from behind, but damn that felt good for both right about now. Every time a contraction hits Danielle squeeze her muscles which makes Jon want to push in even harder. When he finally cums, she screams in orgasm. Jon pulls out and holds her tight, not more than a moment later she screams again this time her water breaks.

“Sweetie our kids are on the way it worked.” He smiled standing up and helping her to her feet. After dressing and gathering her suitcase Jon headed out to the car with Danielle. Her mom was actually enroute to New Jersey right now. On the drive to the hospital Jon called Dr Wiggins and told her that they were en route and then he called Richie, he arranged for him to meet her mom at the airport and bring her to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital things quickly progressed.

A nurse from labor and delivery, checked her blood pressure, temperature, she drew blood and placed three straps around Danielle’s abdomen to monitor the baby's heart rate and her contractions. The nurse then asked Jon to leave so she could perform a vaginal exam to evaluate the dilation and effacement of her cervix. However Danielle wouldn’t allow it Jon wasn’t going anywhere. By this time she was well into active labor, her contractions are less than five minutes apart, lasting 45-60 seconds.

About this time the Dr arrives and does a very quick exam, she observed the state of Danielle and orders the C-Section.

In less than an hour Danielle and Jon are in a delivery room. Not more than 45 minutes after that Jon walked out of the delivery room having met his 3 children. He smiled at Danielle’s mom and Richie, the rest of the band hasn’t yet arrived yet. Jon looks at the two of them and smiled. “Danielle and I are the proud parents of 3 healthy babies. I will tell you that we have 2 girls and 1 boy but I can’t tell you who’s oldest or what their names are until my beautiful wife is out of the delivery room. I’ll have the nurse come get you both when you can meet the babies.” Jon smiled and got hugs.

He returned to Dani's room and arrived just before the nurses wheeled her in, she was still incredibly groggy so Jon sat next to her bed, holding her hand and waiting until she woke. The Doctor came in with the nurses who were pushing all of the babies in their bassinets.

"JON" Danielle mumbled.

"I'm right here baby. I'm right here." He kissed her carefully on the cheek.

"babies?" She sat up, or at least tried to. "OUCH" came out of her mouth as she instantly became aware of the stitches across her middle.

"Yeah I don't recommend moving that quickly." The doctor smiled. Quickly she moved to examine Danielle's incision and takes her vitals. "We only have 1 slight problem." The doctor told the couple.

"What's that?" Jon asked worried.

"The babies came to soon we didn't get a chance to give you the shot to stop your milk production. Only one of your breasts has milk ducts in it so I need to know do you want to pump it out or try to feed the babies once. You'll never be able to produce enough milk to continue breast feeding but I figured if you'd like the sensation, you should have enough to give them each their first meal before the drug kicks in."

"Oh I'd love that." Danielle can't believe she will even had a choice to do that.

The doctor picked up one of the baby girls and handed her to Danielle. She then helped her unsnap her gown and advised her to tease the babies lips with her nipple.

"Does she need an example I can show her?" Jon offered.

"Nice try rockstar but look she took it." Danielle smiled as the baby latched on and began to suck. Danielle looked at the baby, it was an odd sort of tugging she felt, she even felt a strange tug in her uterus. "Am I supposed to feel this everywhere?" She asked.

"Do you feel a little tugging in your uterus?" The doctor knew the sensation Danielle spoke of.

"Yes." She said as her baby pulled nourishment from her.

"Actually yes you should feel it that's your body telling itself its ok to go back to normal now the babies are outside." The doctor explained as simply as possible. "When your daughter lets go hand her to Jon to burp and I'll hand you another one. They won't feed for longer than 10 min at first. They don't have that much control over their jaws or anything but since they are so small giving them breast milk as a first meal with go a long way to helping them succeed."

"I could keep feeding them this way." Danielle says softly as the first baby detaches. She hands her to Jon and takes her son and tried to get him to latch on. "He won't take it." Danielle looked up to Jon.

Jon put the 1st baby in her bassinet she had already burped and then he smiled. "Hey baby he's my son, he'll suck on your nipple trust me. He just needs Daddy to help." Jon walked over and carefully moved Danielle's breast so that her nipple rubbed against their son's lips. This time he opened his mouth and Jon put the slightest pressure on Dani's breast so that a drop of milk leaked out and the baby started sucking. A few minutes later Jon switched the kids again and the 3rd baby latched on easily. By the point Danielle was pretty used to the contractions she felt in her uterus. When the 3rd child was done Danielle looked at Jon, "Which one is which?" They had already decided on the names but needed to determine which little girl was which.

As the nurse gave Danielle a shot to stop her milk production there was a knock on the door. Dani's mom peaked around the corner.

"Mommy" Danielle smiled and her mom came over and hugged her.
"Congratulations to both of you. Looks like you're the mommy now peanut." She moved and looked at the babies.

The door opened again and again admitting Richie, David, and Tico before everyone quieted down and tried to figure out who each of the babies were.

"So angel, who are these beautiful children." Tico asked.

"Everyone we'd like you to meet the newest Bongiovi's. Richie you are holding the oldest. Jayden Richard Bongiovi, he arrived first at 4lbs 1oz and 16in. long." Danielle smiled at both her son and his namesake.

"Richard?" Richie asked the new parents.

Jon was about to speak up when Danielle beat him to it. "Richie you are his brother, you've been there through more shit than either of his blood brothers have. You've helped him achieve his goals not just latch on afterward. I don't know the other two but I know you and we're honored for our son to be named after you."

"Frank I'm kissing your wife you're just gonna have to get over it." Richie commented before planting a big kiss on Danielle's lips.

Danielle laughed as Jon explained who the next child is. He walked over and handed a baby to David and then smiled.

"David you are holding Kaylee Brynn Bongiovi. She was born 2 min after Jayden at 3 lbs 11oz and 15 in long. Without your coffee addiction Dani and I never would have met so she's named in with you in mind."

"And mom you have Mackenzie Frances Bongiovi. She was last to the part born 3 min after Kaylee and was 3lbs 9oz and 16in long. Mom if I grow up to be 1/2 the mom you were my children will be luckier than 99% of the kids in the world."

"Danielle and Jon you'll be excellent parents just always remember to put Family First and you'll be fine." From Danielle's' mom's mouth to God's ears. Danielle and Jon looked at one another and then each of their kids and vowed then and there, family and whats best for the family would always be the first thing on their minds.
