Chapter 411 - Trinity - Arriving At The Fae Castle, Again (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

Everyone had gathered at the Estate before it was time to leave for the Fae Compound. This would allow us to arrange the seating and store the luggage properly for everyone. Which was good because we ended up needing to take eight SUVs after we accounted for everyone's luggage. This was surprising since the SUVs could fit up to eight people each, and we should have only needed four of them at the most if it wasn't for the luggage.

The guards were not all in the same vehicle as me, Reece and the twins, but there were still a couple with us; Shawn and Shane to be exact. I hadn't gotten much time with either of them over the last year, all things considered. I sometimes missed the days when we all just basically hung out at the house and were able to have fun even if it was still them technically guarding me.

Now though, all of our babies were the ones that would be doing the hanging out while we adults were all devoting our time to our families.

"You look like you're lost in thought about something?" Shawn smiled at me as he got my attention. "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, I was just reminiscing about all the times that we used to hang out and goof off before we moved on with our lives. It hasn't been all that long really, but in a way it feels like it's been years."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I had thought about that when mine and Dietrich's babies were born. They changed our lives and turned everything upside down, but not in a bad way. I wouldn't change any of it. I love them and they're perfectly mine and Dietrich's." I could tell that Shawn was happy and quite enjoyed being a dad.

"You wouldn't change any of it?" Shane turned in his seat to look at Shawn with a grin. "None of it? Not even the fact that you ended up getting pregnant up you-?"

"Shut up." Shawn glared at his brother who just started laughing, I even saw Reece's shoulders shake as he drove the SUV toward our destination.

"I was just asking, you know, for clarity. I thought that you had hated that part of it all. That's all." Shane was still grinning, he would always give his brother a hard time, but I knew how much he loved Shawn. I never told Shawn this, but the entire time that he was gone, Shane was a mess.

"Oh, hush now, Shane." I grinned at him. "I think you're the one who would have changed it. You cried so much while Shawn was away just because you couldn't see your brother. I think that's why you want him to admit he would change something, because you wish you could."

"B..b..but, n..n..no..nn..no, I..I, I didn't, I mean, th..that's not, it wasn't-." He looked so shocked that I wanted to laugh, but I didn't because he didn't seem like he could handle it. "Urgh!" Shane growled frustratedly and was about to turn around when Shawn called out to him.

"Don't worry Shane, I missed you a lot too. We had never been apart like that before and it was hard on me as well. But we survived, and we're not separated anymore." The resulting smile on Shane's face was worth what I had said, even if it was kind of mean of me.

"I'm sorry I said that, Shane, but you really shouldn't pick on your brother like that. You need to be honest with your feelings and talk to him. I am betting that in the ten months since he has been home you never once told him how much you missed him while he was gone."

"I know, I need to be better about it all. And you're right, I didn't tell him. I was too embarrassed." He turned back to look at Shawn, and I swear his eyes had misted over a little bit. "I love you Shawn, you know that. Even when I make fun of you, I do it because I love you."

"I know."

Finally, the brothers might have finally gotten to where they talk openly and honestly, after what, twenty eight years, that's quite the accomplishment.

When we arrived at the Fae compound, we found that there was once again an entourage waiting for our arrival. Breon and several others were there. once again with an all black golf cart to guide our envoy of SUVs into the compound.

We were taken to the garage again where we exited the vehicles. The luggage was already being unloaded by a team of servants that moved silently and efficiently. We had made things easier on them and labeled all of the luggage so that they could separate it all into the proper rooms.

"Queen Trinity, it is lovely to see you again. We are overjoyed that you could come and visit us once again." Breon placed a hand over his chest and bowed forward as he spoke.

"Thank you, Breon, it is good to be back. Allow me to introduce you to my family." I turned just a little so that I could see everyone, but would still be able to see Breon. "Of course you remember my husband and King, Reece. These here are our twins, Reagan and Rika. Then we have my grandfather, Samuel, my Mom and Dad, Eve and Wesley, my brother Noah and his wife and son, Nikki and Elias, and my brother Carter and his wife and son, Emmalee and CJ. The other babies belong to a couple of my guards, their names are Alexandria, Alyssa, Levi, and Luka. With us this time are my guards Shane, Shawn, Dietrich, David, Izzy, Thoma, Pierre, Hugo, Mateo, Brianna, Waverly, and Juliet." I had been naming the guards as they were still getting out of the SUVs so imagine the shock I felt when I heard Breon gasp upon seeing Juliet.

Juliet, likewise, had a shocked expression on her face when she got out of the vehicle. She was staring at the man who had spoken to me with that familiar dazed look. It was easy to tell that the two of them had just discovered that they were mates. Now, isn't that a lovely way to start off this trip of ours.

"Well, Breon, allow me to introduce you to someone I think you need to know a lot more than just having me call out her name." I beckoned Juliet over with a wave of my hand, and she walked over timidly. She was around the same height as well with very bright blonde hair and orange eyes. "Breon, this is Juliet Rickard, a witch from the Aerie Convento. Juliet, this is Breon, he is an envoy of the Fae Queen."

"It's good to meet you." Juliet, who looked sweet and had a sweet sounding name, but anything but sweet when she spoke.

"Likewise." Breon smiled at her. Well, I guess he didn't care about the lack of manners when fate was involved. I wonder just how well this was going to work out for them; after all it was Breon who tried to stand in Acacia's way because of mixed breeding. Will he care about that now that it was his life and not hers?
