Trinity
~~
Once my bed was in position and I was hooked up to all of the monitors, again, the nurse left the area so that it was just Reece and I alone for the time being. I knew that nurses would be back to see us and check on me frequently. Not only was I a queen and there were people that were from my kingdom here, but I had just delivered quadruplets. I knew that everyone in the hospital was going to be so excited to see the babies and see how I, the mom that held them in until they were full term, was doing.
If I had thought that people were going to think that the babies were unique before, then I was in for a shock soon. I knew that they were going to be even more of an oddity now that there were four of them instead of three. At least I knew that they were all going to be healthy. They had stayed in as long as I could make them. And that was definitely saying something.
“Trinity, Little Bunny?” Reece called out to me as I just stared off into space. I was thinking about things quite intently, but I had a feeling that he thought something might be wrong with me.
“Yes Reece, my Fido?” I grinned at him as I answered in a similar manner to how he called out to me. It made him smile at me as he knew that there was nothing actually wrong with me.
.....
“How are you feeling?”
“Now that is a loaded question.” I laughed at him. “Do you mean how am I doing after the surgery in which I just had to deliver our three boys and miracle surprise girl? Or do you mean how am I doing now that I need to process the fact that we just had quads instead of triplets? Or perhaps you’re just asking how I am doing in general, like am I comfortable, do I need a drink or anything like that. I don’t quite know what it is that you are asking me. So, I guess, until I know what you want, I can’t answer that question.” I wasn’t trying to be a smartass at the moment, but I had a feeling that I was coming off as one anyway.
“Well, I can see that you are doing just fine.” He laughed at me. “If you’re able to be that calm and snarky about it all, then I know that you are still my sweet and sour Little Bunny.” He leaned forward and kissed my cheek after saying those words to me. Afterwards, he pressed his forehead to mine and looked me directly in the eyes. “But to answer your question, my love, I am asking how you are in general. How are you feeling, how are you doing, are you OK, is anything at all bothering you? You know, all of those things and more. You can choose to answer the question however you want to.” He was such an amazing husband, but he was also such a worrier.
“I am fine, Reece. There is nothing to worry about. Physically, I feel fine. I am not in pain at the moment, but I am sure that it will be coming soon when the meds wear off. I am excited and happy that the babies are here. I am shocked and happy that there was a surprise little one that we didn’t know about at all. I am nervous about how hard it is going to be to take care of so many babies at once. I am worried that they might feel like there isn’t enough love to go around with them all. I am worried that Reagan, Rika, and Talia will feel neglected with how busy we are going to be now. I am worried about how they are going to react to the surprise baby. And I will always worry about my children, no matter what. However, all in all, I think I am doing OK. The worry is natural at the moment, but it is not enough to overshadow the joy and happiness that I am feeling right now.”
I wasn’t lying to him at all. I truly felt more happiness than anything else right now. This was a wonderful start to this new year. We would forever be able to start the new year with happiness and joy because the babies would be celebrated on this day.
“I think that you and I are feeling a lot of the same things. We are both worried and concerned about different things but, like you, I am so very happy about the babies being here. And like you said, I am happy about the surprise baby. It was unexpected but wonderful.” I knew he meant that too. He was such a family focused man that I knew he wouldn’t be upset right now. He was just going to be boasting about the fact that he had more little ones than he expected.
“Well, there is one thing that we do need to focus on a little bit.” I told him as I thought about it all. “We need to figure out a name for the baby girl.” I tried to think about what it was that we could call her.
“I think that we should hold her and look at her first. We need to know what name will suit her. This is a unique situation for us. We can’t rush this. We haven’t had the time to think about it at all. We need to make sure that we do things right.” I knew that Reece had a point. And I agreed with him. We needed to take another look at the baby to see what she was like and then pick a name for her.
“Well, until I am recovered enough, I know that they won’t bring them to see us. That is why I want to get out of this room and back to the other room as soon as I can.” I was starting to feel anxious and excited. I just wanted time to pass a little more quickly right now.
“Yeah. I know.” Reece was looking off in the distance now. I think he was fantasizing about holding the babies in his arms. Well, I had something to tell him about that really quickly.
“I hold them all first.” I glared at him playfully.
“Hey, you’ve been holding them for months. Isn’t it my turn?” He joked back.
“Sure, let me cut open your belly and make you carry the babies for a bit. Then you can hold them first.” He didn’t seem to like my suggestion.
“That is beyond gruesome.” He shuddered at the thought. “You are so evil and mean to me.” His playful attitude wasn’t affected though. “You are lucky that I love you so much.”
“Ha ha. Yeah, so are you, Fido.” He leaned in and kissed me again as the curtain pulled back for a nurse to come in and check on me.
“Oh, am I interrupting something here?” It was May and she was joking with us playfully.
“No, we’re just celebrating that we have such a big and beautiful family.” Reece pulled back from me then and sat back in the chair next to the bed.
“That is so lovely.” She looked wistful as she smiled at me. “You are so lucky to have such a loving man, Queen Trinity.”
“Thank you, May.” I didn’t know what else to say at the moment, so I just thanked her.
“Well, I came to check on you and see how you are doing. As long as the medication is wearing off and you are able to move, we can get you back to your room soon.”
“Really?” I was so happy to hear that. “I am doing fine. I am definitely ready to go.”
“I know. I would be too if I were in your position. Now, I am just going to check a few things.” She went over to the readouts from the machines and checked them out. “Things look good over here.” She had a note of happiness in her voice as she spoke. “Alright Queen Trinity, can you move your toes for me. I need to see if you have gotten feeling back yet.” She walked over and lifted the blanket that was draped over me.
I did as I was instructed to do. I moved the toes on each foot. Actually, I moved a little more than she had asked me to. I ended up moving my feet and toes all around for a moment. That was when I noticed the pain that was aching through my belly.
“Does that hurt?” She asked me when she saw my face.
“Not my legs or anything. It’s my belly that hurts.” I made sure that she didn’t think there was anything wrong.
“That’s actually a good sign. It means that the spinal is out of your system and that you are doing just fine. There is nothing to worry about. I will have them come and put some medication on a drip for you. It will make sure that you don’t get too uncomfortable. Now, I am going to check your belly and massage your uterus. We need to massage it often. I am sure that you are familiar with that though, since you have delivered twice before.”
“Yes, I am familiar with it.” I assured her as I remember what had happened to me when the other three kids had been born.
She did what she needed to do, and I just laid there. I was eagerly waiting for the moment that I was taken back to my room. I wanted to see my babies. I wanted to feed them. I wanted to make sure that they were all well taken care of. It was going to be a busy night for us. Not to mention, I did need to rest a little bit so that I could handle all that was going to happen in the morning. I had a feeling that everyone was going to come and visit us. They would be curious about the fourth baby.
“Alright Queen Trinity, that should be it for now. I am going to let them know you are good to go now. They will get your meds set up in the room and then we will bring the babies to see you. They will most likely spend the night in the NICU just because they are so small, but they are all breathing just fine so we can at least bring them to you for a few moments.” I didn’t like that they weren’t going to be with me right away, but I understood. This too was probably hospital policy.
“Thank you, May.” I nodded at her as I accepted what needed to happen. At least I would see them, that was better than nothing.
“It will be fine, and this way you can get a little bit of sleep.” She was right, I knew that, but it was still a little sad.
