Chapter 407 - Trinity - First Birthdays Part 4 (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

The room had screamed with delight over the full introduction of the babies. Most people that were family didn't usually get to see this much of my children, and if it weren't for the fact that I was expected to be a 'royal' they wouldn't even be seeing them like this now.

Still, I was glad that there were so many people that seemed to love and care for my children. None of the people here seemed to have any negative thoughts or feelings toward my family, at least according to Vincent and Gabriel.

The good thing about this introduction being over though, was that the guests could all move on to other parts of the party. They could go to the bouncy rooms or the game rooms. They could go to the buffet in the other room and eat the wonderful food that Abigail had prepared for today. They could do as they pleased until it was time for the babies to blow out the candles on their cakes. And when it was time for that I could just simply summon them all here mentally.

You know, sometimes I tried to live like everyone so much that I forgot I even had the ability to do some of the things that I could. It was weird, you know, living your whole life one way and then finding out you're something else, it doesn't mean that I am going to be instantly changing the person that I am.

With the room slowly emptying and the guests scattering I was feeling a little calmer. There was also the fact that I had sealed parts of the house to people, places that the party guests didn't need to be. I didn't need any of these people who viewed me as a celebrity to go into our private things. So, not only were the rooms marked as no entry permitted, they were literally sealed with magic. Yes, I was still using 'some' of my magic when I needed to.

I wanted to see my babies having some fun right now. That was what mattered most to me right now, more than the guests or anything else. This was their party and they needed to enjoy it no matter what. I would never get the chance to repeat this day, I would never get another chance to make these memories with my family now. I wanted to see it now with my own two eyes and take pictures so that I could reminisce about it all later. 

Reece and I took them into the room with the baby friendly bounce houses. I hadn't gotten to see them play with them yet and I really wanted to. When the babies were put into the play area I saw that CJ, Elias, Ilana, Rowan, Alexandria, Alyssa, Levi, Luka, Kaiden, Kaede, Sophia, Isabella, Beech, Cypress, and Ashle were all in there with them. A few of the babies that were playing were just learning to walk but they were doing well enough to enjoy the bouncy, air filled toy.

Dominic and Vivian, Griffin and Lana's Twins, and Tyler and Charlotte, Vincent and Heather's twins, were the only babies born over the last year that weren't playing in the bounce house with Reagan and Rika at the moment. The four of them were just a little too young since they couldn't walk and were just learning to stand. I understood that Lana and Heather were afraid that their little hands might get smashed if they were in there with the others.

I still found it so weird that between myself and everyone that I knew, there had been so many babies born over the last year. It was such a shock, really. And that didn't account for the other babies being born to the pack and the warlocks and witches that had moved here to be close to us. I guess what everyone was saying was true, being the Goddess Incarnate was like a love and fertility magnate to those around me.

As I thought about it all I watched the babies playing. There were so many of them and they had all spent so much time around each other that they were already friends. I could see CJ and Elias acting like the big brothers of the group. They weren't even that much older than everyone, less than six months for Elias and CJ was younger than a few of them, but still they were Carter and Noah's boys and I just knew that they were going to grow up to be strong and protective just like their daddies. I knew that Elias and CJ would stick with Reagan and Rika as they got older, just like Noah and Carter were sticking with me even though we all had our own lives and families now. There was just this unbreakable bond that held us together.

Reagan seemed to be bouncing all over the place, literally. He would go from one friend to the other and giggle with them playfully for a minute or two. He was such a social butterfly, when it came to kids. Rika was playing as well, but she was slightly more reserved with her time and energy. She started off playing with just a couple friends but she was better at drawing the others to her. Before long half of the kids were surrounding her and it looked like she was having a little meeting as they all babbled in their baby talk. Looking at it, seeing it right there in front of me, I couldn't help but smile. I knew that Rika was special, but this was proving to me just how special she was. 

"She looks like a natural born leader." Landon commented from just behind me causing me to turn and look at him.

"Yeah, she looks like she will do just fine when she is all grown up." Trevor added. Usually these two are hard to pry from Reece's side when they're here, why was it that they were coming to talk to me now?
