Three Little Angels

(Temecula, California, USA)
I was sixteen at the time it happened, and my boyfriend had just turned seventeen.
I had been roofied (given drugs without my knowledge that knocked me out) at a party at my boyfriend's house and used for sex.
When I first told my boyfriend that I was pregnant, I thought he would flip out because we were both virgins, but when he told me what he had done, I was the one who flipped.
I couldn't believe that he would do such a thing.
He ended up being put in jail for two weeks by his own father!
After being released, he came to me and apologized for being so stupid. He realized what he did was wrong, and said that all he wanted to do was make things right by being there for me and the baby.
At first, I had my mind set on adoption, but then, something happened that changed everything.
I found out that I was preggers with TRIPLETS!!!!!
I was so scared.
My boyfriend and I were sent into a state of mind where nothing could assure us that everything would be all right.
After hearing that I was having triplets, I decided to keep the babies (crazy huh?).
The decision turned out to be the best in my life.
I am now nineteen years old, and my boyfriend is twenty.
We now live together with babies Cassidy (girl), Carolyn (girl), and Cadence (boy).
We both finished high school with actual diplomas rather than a GED, and have moved onto college.
Even though the situation we were put in was crazy, I have forgiven him, and love him even more now.
We stay together not just for the sake of the babies, but because we really do love each other.
And every time I get upset at him over something, I think of this story.
The story of two teenagers in love and three little angels.
