Chapter 772: Chapter 189- Trinity – Time Passing Part 1 (VOLUME 4)
~~
Trinity
~~
I tried to set a bit of a routine. I wasn’t back to work yet so I had a lot of time on my hands. I mean, there was no way in hell that Reece was going to let me do anything at all, aside from rot away with boredom. I wasn’t used to having this much free time. Not since I was pregnant with Reagan and Rika anyway.
I needed to have something to do everyday so that I didn’t waste away in boredom. So, I would spend the mornings with the kids before school and on the weekend. I would help them with their hair and just talk before they had to leave. We would also eat breakfast together as a family in the dining room. I also helped them finish their costumes for Halloween. And when that day came around, I was so happy yet sad at the same time. I couldn’t go trick or treating with them, but they looked so cute. They were going to have fun with Auntie Juniper and Uncle Paul though, I knew that for a fact.
I will admit, Abigail, Roisin, Gabriel and Peter were all happy to see me out of bed and moving through the house. Even if it was in a wheelchair. Of course, Mom, Dad, Noah, Nikki, Carter, Emmalee, Lila, Grandfather, Juniper, Paul, Acacia, Cedar, Trevor, Aunt Glory, Athair mòr and Daciana were all happy as well since they were all still in the house. Not to mention Dietrich, Shane, Shawn, David and Vincent were happy to see me moving around as well. They were also back to work guarding me now that I was awake and finally moving about.
While the kids were at school, I would spend time with my friends, family and guards. I ended up eating lunch with them while Reece was either working in his office or working in the nursery.
.....
He was taking a lot of time off to work on the nursery again, just like he had done when I was pregnant the two times before. He had ordered so much stuff that I wasn’t even allowed to see until he was done.
I know that a lot of women would be worried about this type of situation, but I wasn’t. I trusted Reece for one. And for two, he had done the nursery for both the previous pregnancies. The nursery, which was the same room every time, looked gorgeous every single time that Reece put his time and effort into it. There was no reason for me to doubt him now when I hadn’t before. I was just eagerly anticipating what he was going to show me.
Through this time that I was spending with everyone, I found out that Nikki and Noah were going to be having another baby, they were due in late April. And Juniper was due at about the same time. The two of them were only having single pregnancies though. They weren’t doubling or tripling anything like I did.
I also found out something that I never thought would happen. I was going to have a new auntie or uncle that was also my sister or brother in-law. That was because Lila was pregnant. Grandfather was going to be a daddy again for the first time in a very long time. I don’t think that either of them had thought that this day would ever happen. I think they thought that they were both done with kids forever. Well, I guess this was a big surprise but a good surprise, nonetheless.
There had been so much that happened in the several weeks that I was asleep in this world. To me it didn’t feel like it was that long, but it definitely was to those that were here. The kids went through a lot, my parents, siblings, friends, everyone went through so much. And during that time, they all had to deal with the heartache of not knowing if I was ever going to wake up again. I can’t even imagine what they were feeling.
Well, I guess I could. I thought that I would never get home. I thought that I would never see my family and friends ever again. It might be a little bit different, but it was similar enough in my opinion. We all thought that it was all lost forever. And if you listen to the rest of them talk, I had it worse. I didn’t see it that way. They knew how much time was passing and I didn’t. I didn’t know that it had been months since I had last been awake. I didn’t know that they were all missing me so much.
I tried not to make all of the time that I spent with the people that I loved, and all the talks that we shared, all depressing and mood killing. I wanted to rejoice that I was awake again. I wanted to be happy to be back. And I wanted them all to have a good time too. Especially since I was including Rudy and Alexio in our gatherings quite often so that they could socialize and get to know people in this world better. I didn’t want to bring down their moods at all.
Slowly, after a week or so, everything seemed to be calming down and we were all laughing more than we were crying. I knew that they needed to heal and vent just as much as I had needed it when I first woke up. This was their time to do that.
After happiness started to be the dominant emotion, we were all getting excited about the babies that were to come. Aunt Glory was going to be delivering anytime now, so was Daciana. I was going to be seeing new members of my family come into this world in no time at all. And not too long from now I would be delivering my triplets.
I hoped that I made it close to my due date, but I wasn’t going to hold my breath. And since I knew that I would be having them early, I just prayed that they weren’t born on Reagan and Rika’s birthdays. I didn’t want to force them to share their days. It wouldn’t be fair to any of them.
Hey, at least I knew that these three boys can’t all have different birthdays. I mean, not unless there is more than twenty-four hours between the first one and the last one. I mean one could be just before midnight, the second would be anytime after midnight that next day, and the last would be after midnight on the third day. That seemed highly unlikely. And I really, really hoped that didn’t happen to me. I liked being pregnant, for the most part, but labor and delivery were not that fun in my opinion.
I didn’t ask for this, and I didn’t truly want it, but I could tell that my friends and family were planning another baby shower for me. I didn’t need them to do that for me since Reece was going to buy everything for our babies anyway. Still, I knew that they wanted to do it, and I guess it was a way for us to restock the donations that we gave to the families that were in need. They all benefited from all the brand new baby items that we had gotten at the baby shower for Reagan and Rika as well as the one for Talia. Now there would be even more donations for them after people helped us to prepare for the triplets.
Best
The more that I thought about what they were all doing for me, the happier that I was. I knew that it wasn’t about getting me, Reece, or the babies presents. It was all about spending time with us and our family. It was about showing their love and appreciation for our happy little family. And it was to bring us all together. That in and of itself was all that I needed to make me want to have the baby shower.
Not to mention, it was good for another reason as well. This would be the first time that most of the people in the pack will have seen me since sometime in the beginning of August. The baby shower, which was going to be in the middle to late November, would be months after that time. They were all probably worrying about me and wondering if there was something seriously wrong with me.
I know that Reece told the pack about the babies. That had been his cover story for the longest time. That I was pregnant with triplets and that I was having the same issue with them that I had with Reagan and Rika. That was enough to appease most of them. The people of my pack and my two intermingled kingdoms wanted my babies to be safe. These were their princes and they would love them just because of that.
Now though, I think it was time for them to see me. And time for them to see that I really was pregnant with triplets. This baby belly of mine that just keeps getting bigger and bigger by the day was more than enough proof for anyone that might have been skeptical about what was happening.
Oh, and another positive note, I was putting some of my weight back on. Those pounds that I had lost while technically being in a coma in this world. They were coming back and I didn’t look so skeletal anymore. Now that I was eating real food my body was thriving again. That made me happy too. I didn’t need to worry if I looked sick all the time.
And to think, the weight came back just in time for the baby shower. I was back to the healthy me to show to the masses.
