Chapter 800: Chapter 217- Trinity – Visits Part 4 (VOLUME 4)

~~

Trinity

~~

I knew that the steady stream of visitors was not going to end anytime soon. Today and this entire week that I was going to be in the hospital, I was going to be very busy. And sure enough, not twenty minutes after the guys left, someone else came barging into the room.

Juniper wasn’t one for waiting and subtly. She was always going big and showing a lot of personality. That was just the way that she was. She was an outgoing soul with a lot of love to give. And she just happened to like to give a lot of that love to me.

“Trinity Faith Gray! How come you did not call me the minute that you went into labor? How come I had to find out in a damn group text from Candy Pants this morning?” Yeah, and she tended to have a very bad temper sometimes too. And she didn’t like being left out. She was too outgoing to want to be left out of anything.

“I am sorry, Juniper. I had to be taken into surgery and get prepped. There wasn’t time to call anyone. And after the surgery, we were all dealing with the recovery and it was very late. I didn’t want to wake anyone and, honestly, I just wanted to get some sleep.” I explained to her why I had not contacted the moment that I knew the babies were going to be born.

.....

“Alright, fine. I will accept that explanation. For now, that is.” She looked over at Reece for a moment like she was going to say that he could have called her and told her what was going on. She didn’t say it though, just thought it while looking at him grumpily.

“Don’t give me that look, barky! I was rushed out of the room by the world’s grumpiest nurse so that I could get ready to be in the operating room with Trinity. And after the babies were born, I was more interested in taking care of my wife. You got notified at the same time as everyone else. Not even our families knew before everyone else. So just drop it before you lose all your needles.” He defended himself with Juniper having needed to say anything to him. I guess the two of them got a little closer while I was asleep. They had new nicknames for each other at least.

“Barky?” Juniper raised a brow and looked at him suspiciously.

“It serves a double purpose. You’re a wolf and therefore bark, but you’re also a tree, or named after one. So, since you are a tree, you have bark. And that’s also why I told you to stop before you lost your needles.” He was looking between me and Juniper as if he was waiting for validation on his cunning nickname. I hated seeing him feeling like he was not up to the level that others were trying to put him on.

“That’s funny, Reece. It fits her perfectly. At least when she’s grumpy. However, when she’s not grumpy she will need another nickname. Something more cherubic and nice.” I was trying to appease them both since they were both so special to me.

“I am never grumpy. I am always a big ray of fucking sunshine. I am radiantly happy and positively affect all those around me.” Juniper was pretending like she didn’t know what Reece and I were talking about, but Reece got one more little comment in there while she was trying to think positively.

“More like you tell them you are positive and happy or else. And I don’t ever want to know what the ‘or else’ truly means.” I watched him give a big fake shudder like he was afraid. It was funny, it really was. Seeing these two get along so well always made me happy.

“Yeah, just always be a good boy and you will never have to find out. Got it, peanut butter cheeks.”

“Now you’re making no sense. I know you make the joke about me being the candy, but what does the peanut butter have to do with my cheeks.” Reece rubbed his stubbled face as he said that and pretended that he had no idea what she was talking about.

“Wrong cheeks, Reece’s Pieces. I’m talking about the ones in your pants.” They were both laughing now and I was trying hard to fight it. I would have given in too, if it weren’t for the fact that the babies started to cry from all of the noise that was around them.

“Uh oh, Daddy and Aunty Juniper were being too noisy.”

I lightheartedly scolded them as I got out of the bed and walked over to the first bassinet with Zachary in it. It was so much easier to walk now that I didn’t have a catheter in, and I was actually able to move with only needing the IV pole. And soon, that would be gone as well.

“Come to Momma, my baby. Reece, can you bring me Zander and then take care of the others?” I went to sit in the rocking chair that was in the room for us. I was going to prepare to soothe them and get them calmed down before I fed them. They needed their next meal anyway.

“I can help. Why do you think that I am here?” Juniper walked over and picked Zaley up out of her bassinet. “And I am going to start with the surprise baby. This one here has everyone’s attention right now. I am sure about that.”

“That she does.” I smiled at her as Reece handed me Zander and I started to rock the two of them in my arms.

“Hey, Aunty Juniper, why don’t you hold Zayden as well, and I will prepare their bottles.” Reece had the fourth little bundle in his arms as he walked closer to the armchair that Juniper had usurped from him.

“Yeah, no problem. I am here to see these little babies and show them some much needed love and attention.” She took the baby immediately and Reece got to work. “Can you believe it, Trinity? Has it truly set in yet that you have four new babies? Has it really hit you that these beautiful little ones are all yours?” I knew that she was excited and happy. She was going to be having her own baby again soon. She, like most of us supernatural people, loved babies and loved growing her family even bigger.

“Sometimes it all feels like a dream. And sometimes it feels overwhelming. And of course, other times I am just so happy to have them all. I feel blessed and happy, scared and nervous, overwhelmed and ready to take on the world all at the same time. It’s a lot to feel all at once, but I wouldn’t change anything right now. I am happy with how it all went. I am happy that Zaley was a surprise to us. I am happy that I had that added little joy last night. It was amazing and it melted my heart. Sure, I was scared that there was something wrong with her at first, but she was OK and that just made me so happy. This whole day has been like some sweet gift that I never knew I was going to get.”

“You’re such a good mom, Trinity. You know that.” She was smiling at me now, not the babies. “You love them so much and they know it. That’s why you just keep having more and more babies. They know how much they will be loved so they are lining up just for the chance.”

“You’re such a goof, Juniper, you know that.”

We talked more about the babies, and the future that we were all going to have together while we fed, burped, and changed the babies. Soon enough, they were all back to sleep and we were laying them back down in their little beds. I could tell that Juniper was getting ready to leave, but she seemed to have something else to say before she left.

“I am heading to your place now. I have some work to do. I want to make some corrections to something that isn’t quite right at the moment.” She was looking at me with a sly grin on her face and it was making me curious.

“And what isn’t right? I can’t think of something that was broken.” I was confused.

“The only thing not right is the beds and clothes in the nursery. I need to get over there soon and get that taken care of. But I don’t want to leave Trinity here alone.” Well, I guess Reece was thinking more practically than I was right now. I hadn’t even thought about needing to fix the nursery.

“Oh, there is something else that needs to be fixed, but don’t worry about it. I will take care of it all and you will just get to see it when I am done. So, I will head back to your house and let the next group know that they can come on over. And I will even tell them to bring you some dinner. That will give you an even bigger break since they will have to wait for it before they come up here. Enjoy your rest, take a nap or something. I will see you later.” With that, Juniper leaned in and hugged me tightly, and when she pulled back I saw that she even hugged Reece around his waist. “Take care of her, Candy Pants. And the babies too.”

“I will.” Reece answered her while quickly hugging her back.

“Goodbye, I love you all.” With that, she rushed out of the room with a smile on her face.
