Thank you once again to everyone who participated in round two; I love all of your approaches to the prompts! [name_u]Welcome[/name_u] to round 3 where things get even namier!
Once again I will be leaving this open for roughly 24 hours so that everyone who wants to play gets a chance. I am posting this at approximately 21:00 UTC on 23rd June; I am not sure when round 4 will be posted yet as I am busy over the weekend so take as much time as you want to answer.

Waiting at the hospital for their children to arrive, [name_u]Alex[/name_u] and [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] are shocked to learn that there had been a secret triplet all along! They happily adopt all three and whilst it’s a muddle to begin with, they quickly take it in stride. Whilst they love being parents, they’re taking a rest from expanding their family for now: at least with humans!
