Legendary Chaos

JAY-JAY POV

By the time we reached home, the cakes were balanced on the table and Keifer and I stood side by side, coats zipped up tight. Underneath, the shirts we'd bought — adult‑sized, bold letters across the front: Parents of 3 Babies.

"Jay, this is going to be legendary," he whispered as we stepped inside.

The living room was already buzzing —

Section E sprawled across couches, Kuya Angelo at the table, Tita Gemma trying to calm the chaos, Keigan pretending to ignore it, and Kerian darting around like a whirlwind.

Ci‑N raised an eyebrow. "What's with the trench‑coat drama? You two look like you're about to audition for a spy movie."

Keifer set the cakes down on the table with a flourish, like he was unveiling treasure.

Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry — three flavors lined up neatly.

"Cakes?" Mayo shouted, already halfway across the room. "You brought cake? You're officially my favorite parents!"

Keifer shot me a grin, then tugged at his zipper. "Ready?" he whispered.

I nodded, heart pounding. Together, we pulled off our coats in one dramatic motion.

The shirts screamed across our chests: Parents of 3 Babies.

For a heartbeat, silence.

Then chaos.

David's voice cracked as tears spilled. "Three? Three babies?!"

Ci-n shrieked, leaping off the couch. "TRIPLE CHAOS! I'M CALLING GODFATHER RIGHTS!"

Blaster strummed his guitar like a soundtrack. "Triplet anthem, incoming!"

Kuya Angelo was too stunned to speak, his eyes locked on the words across our shirts.

Aries came to me first, wrapping me in a warm, tight hug. "I'm proud of you," he whispered, before turning sharply to Keifer. "If you hurt her or my niece or nephew—"

"We will kill you," Percy finished smoothly, his tone deadly serious.

Jare nodded in agreement, arms crossed.

Keifer raised his hands, half‑laughing, half‑nervous. "Relax, I'm not going anywhere. I'm hers. And theirs."

"I can't believe it," Jare said, shaking his head, a grin spreading across his face. "You're going to be a mother... that too, three babies."

"Me too," Luna added softly, her eyes shimmering with excitement.

I smirked, leaning toward her. "Luna, when are you giving our babies a cousin?"

Her cheeks flushed instantly. "Oh shut up, not everyone is as fast as you two."

"Oh come on," I teased, grinning. "You've been married for almost a year."

"Give us time," Luna said, blushing deeper.

"Yeah," Jare chimed in, slipping his arm around her shoulders. "We're still enjoying ourselves."

The room erupted in laughter again —

Section E boys shouting over each other,

Mayo already suggesting triplet names,

Blaster strumming nonsense chords,

Kuya Angelo was still frozen, muttering under his breath like he was calculating how to survive this chaos.

Keifer leaned closer, whispering in my ear, "See? Legendary."

I smiled, watching everyone argue, tease, and celebrate. "Legendary chaos. And it's only just beginning."

Then Tita Gemma came and hugged me, her arms wrapping tight around me like I was still her little girl. "Jay‑Jay, oh my baby, look at you," she said, her voice trembling with pride.

I smiled through the noise, leaning into her embrace. "Tita..."

She pulled back just enough to cup my face, eyes shimmering. "Three babies. You're going to be a mother of three. I can't believe it."

Before I could answer, Ci-n shouted from across the room, frosting already on his cheek. "Tita, don't cry! Save the tears for when I babysit!"

Drew groaned. "You? Babysit? Those kids won't survive five minutes."

David sniffled, wiping his eyes. "They'll be surrounded by love. That's all that matters."

Kuya Angelo finally found his voice, muttering under his breath. "Three... three babies... Keifer, you're insane."

Keifer puffed his chest out proudly, pointing at his shirt. "Not insane. Just legendary."

Tita Gemma laughed through her tears, shaking her head. "Legendary chaos, that's what it is."

And in that moment — with hugs, laughter, and frosting flying — I realized our reveal had worked. The shirts, the cakes, the chaos... it was all worth it.

Finally, Keigan spoke, his voice softer than the chaos around us. "Ate," he said, eyes wide with disbelief but shining with pride, "I'm gonna be an uncle of three babies."

My heart squeezed at the way he said it — simple, honest, full of wonder.

Keifer nodded, grinning. "Yeah, you are."

Before I could respond, Keiran practically bounced forward, his energy spilling over. "I'm gonna be the best uncle!" he declared, puffing his chest out like he was already campaigning for the role.

Ci-n immediately shouted from the couch, "No, I'm gonna be the best uncle!" and the argument began.

Mayo groaned, rolling his eyes. "None of you are qualified. Those kids are doomed."

Keifer slipped his arm around me, whispering proudly, "See? They're already fighting over who gets to love them most."

I laughed, watching Keigan's quiet pride and Keiran's loud determination clash with Ci-n chaos. "Three babies... and already three uncles competing. Legendary."

The room was still buzzing when Ci-n jumped onto the couch, frosting on his cheek like war paint.

"Okay, okay, listen up! I'm naming one of them Ci-n Jr. It's destiny!"

"Over my dead body," Kit shot back, smirking. "If anyone's naming rights are valid, it's me. I'll call one Wi‑Fi so they grow up smart."

"Wi‑Fi?!" Keifer groaned, burying his face in his hands.

David sniffled, wiping his tears. "No, no... they need soft names. Gentle ones. Like Hope, Grace, or Joy."

Blaster strummed his guitar dramatically. "Nah, they need rockstar names. Thunder, Echo, and Bassline."

Kuya Angelo slammed his hand on the table. "Stop it! None of you are naming them. Jay and Keifer will decide."

"Unless I get godfather rights," Ci-n shouted, pointing at himself.

"I already called best uncle," Keiran yelled, bouncing around. "So I get naming rights too!"

Keigan sighed from the corner, shaking his head. "You're all ridiculous. Ate, just don't let them near the birth certificates."

Luna blushed, laughing softly. "Honestly, I just want to babysit. Names are too much pressure."

Jare grinned, slipping his arm around her. "We'll suggest one cousin name when the time comes."

Percy crossed his arms, voice sharp. "If Keifer screws up, I'm naming all three myself."

Aries nodded firmly. "Same. Protective uncle privileges."

Keifer puffed his chest out, pointing at his shirt. "No one's stealing naming rights. Parents of three babies. That's us."

I laughed, watching the chaos spiral — Ci-n and Keiran arguing over "best uncle," Edrix insisting on tech names, Blaster composing a triplet anthem, and Kuya Angelo trying (and failing) to restore order.

"Legendary," Keifer whispered in my ear.

I smiled, shaking my head. "Legendary chaos. And we haven't even picked names yet."
