1137 Chapter 122- Various – Surprise Part 2 (VOLUME 6)

Vincent

Well, that had been an eventful night. Who would have thought that Trinity would go to her room and almost immediately have the baby? I mean, when Griffin and Lana came running into the tower and storming toward the stairs, I almost had a heart attack. I thought that Reece had called him because something was wrong. Never in my wildest dreams would I think that Trinity had had the baby.

It was an amazing surprise though. And I was happy that Trinity and the baby were doing well. And that Reece was there for them. I would have had a hard time delivering the baby if it had been me. I was Trinity’s Beta and right hand man, I would have done it if I had to, but come on. That would have been a bit too much of my boss to see. Not that I haven’t seen her naked before, but that isn’t the point here. I wasn’t Reece, I wasn’t supposed to be doing that. It wasn’t appropriate.

After things settled down, and I was leading the others out of the room to where they were going to sleep for the night, I was able to finally relax and settle down a little. Everyone was tired and exhausted after all that had happened that night, and all I wanted was to crawl into bed with Heather and sleep for a little while. I needed that right now.

“You were working late.” Heather said as I slid into bed next to her. She had woken up the moment the door had opened, she was a light sleeper. “Was it a busy night?”

“Very.” I told her as I snuggled up close to her, my chest pressed against her back. “Aside from that bombing at the stadium, Trinity had the baby.”

“What?” She opened her eyes wide as she turned to face me, almost hitting my nose with her cheek. “She had the baby?”

.....

“Yes, in her room. Reece had to deliver her. Apparently, her water broke and then I guess that things progressed quickly from there.”

“Oh my goodness, that is amazing. I can’t believe she had the baby. I have to go and see her soon.” She was already grinning. “I miss having babies around.” She sounded almost sad as she said that.

“Really?” She hadn’t mentioned wanting another baby recently, but I guess that she would want more. We were immortal now, and there was nothing stopping us. Not to mention, the twins were our youngest, and they were already in college. We had no kids here at home with us. “Should we make one then?” I smiled and kissed her softly yet passionately.

“Oooh, really?” she looked at me with excitement after breaking the kiss. “I would love to have another with you, Vincent. You’re such a wonderful father.”

“And you’re a great mother.”

I decided that I didn’t need that much sleep tonight. I had to give my wife what she wanted. Even if it didn’t happen right then and there, I would give it to her soon enough.

After I thoroughly pleased my wife, I drifted off to sleep for a little while. I only got about three hours of sleep, if that, but I would be fine. Trinity would be running on less sleep than that for a while, as long as the baby was there to wake her up repeatedly. If she could do it, then so could I.

I showered quickly in the morning, letting Heather sleep on in the bed. The shower was cold, to help me wake up a little more. After that, I dried off, dressed, and left the room. I ate a quick breakfast that I pulled from the fridge and heated in the microwave. I don’t even know what it was really, I ate it too fast.

Coffee was the most important thing right now. I needed some that was truly strong. And that had brewed while I scarfed down the mystery food from the fridge. The first drink of it was strong and bitter, but the heat of it was giving me new life as I hurried toward the door. Another busy and long day awaited me, and I had to hurry.

By the time that I got to the tower, Trinity and Reece had already had a visit from all of their family. They were all still there in the tower, talking and having breakfast.

“Vincent, good morning.” Trinity called to me. “The others should be here soon too. I will head down to the office now. We’re going to be meeting in one of the conference rooms when it all starts though.”

“I will get the others as they come in, don’t worry. Wait here for Shawn and the others, OK.” She didn’t look surprised by what I said, she just nodded and agreed silently.

When I rushed from the room, I hurried to Trinity’s office that was a few floors lower. I saw that the others were actually already arriving. They would have waited in the office until Trinity arrived, but I had other plans in mind. They didn’t know about last night, but they would soon enough.

“Hey!” I called out to them.

“Hey, Vincent.” Shawn waved and continued to move toward the office.

“Wait!” I deliberately made my face look worried as I spoke again. “You need to head upstairs right away. You need to go see Trinity right this minute.”

“Why?” Dietrich looked worried now. “Did something happen?”

“Yes. And you need to go now.” I didn’t lie, not technically.

“Shit!” Shane was the first to respond.

“Oh, no.” David started to run toward the elevator and press the call button. It was already on the floor though, because I had just come down in it.

I rode up to the tower with them, pressing the button for the floor with the living room. I could see the tension in all of them as we got closer to Trinity and Reece. And when they sensed all the other people that were already there, they started to get even more worried.

Dietrich

I was worried from the moment that Vincent said that something had happened. We were all worried about Trinity last night. She didn’t seem to be doing very good at all. And if something happened to her, it would fall on all of us that didn’t notice what was happening.

While I technically was not one of Trinity’s guards, I was always working as one. My mate and husband was her guard, and I wanted to protect Trinity as well. If it wasn’t for her, then I wouldn’t have anything in this world. I would never have met Shawn. I wouldn’t have my children. I would still be in Germany, lost and lonely. I owed everything in my life to Trinity and Reece, and I wanted to be there for them. And mostly, I just wanted to be with my Shawn as much as possible.

When the elevator got closer to the floor that Trinity was on, I could sense a lot more people. There were probably around two dozen people there, give or take a little. If there were that many people in the tower at this early hour, then there had to be something major happening. The problem is, I didn’t know what it was.

I started to panic. To fear the worst. Trinity had had some pains last night. We all thought that they were just caused by stress and exhaustion, but maybe it was something else. Maybe there was something wrong with the baby, with Reeselynn. Oh please, goddess, don’t let that be the case. I couldn’t handle it if there were more children that were hurt with all of this that is going on.

When the elevator stopped, the five of us hurried off the elevator and toward the door that led to the living room. That was where the largest group of people on the floor were located at. David, the fastest of us all, got to the door first and opened it in a panic. He seemed to be looking around the room to where Trinity was.

The rest of us were on his heels as he ran into the room. We needed to know what was going on. Why were there so many people in the room? And what were we going to do from here on out?

“Trinity?” David said as he stopped in front of us all. Shawn and I had to move to the side to go around him.

“Trinity?” I said her name as well, looking for her in the crowd of her family. It looked like they were all there, every single member of her biological family. Well, aside from Gloriana and Valerian. They were the only ones that were missing from the usual group.

“Hey guys.” Trinity’s voice was so calm that it almost threw me through a loop. It wasn’t until I looked down and saw her mostly flat belly that I noticed that something had changed.

“Y..you had the baby.” Shawn was the first to say this as he looked at her. “You had the baby last night.”

“Yes.” She nodded and then explained to us that Reece had to deliver the baby because she went into labor and the baby came extremely fast.

“Fuck you, Vincent.” Shane said as he spun and looked at the man that had called us up here.

“What? I said that something happened, I didn’t say what it was. This is major. And Trinity had something else to tell you anyway.”

“That was a mean trick.” David hung his head, but the look on his face was one of relief. “I thought that something had happened to Trinity or the baby. You made me really worried.”

“I am sorry, but to be fair, Griffin did that to me last night. He came running into the tower when Trinity was supposed to be in bed. And Reece hadn’t called me to let me know what was happening, so I was scared as I ran up the stairs. Everything was fine, of course, but it still scared the hell out of me.”

“So, you decided to scare us in turn?” Shawn asked him, his eyes narrowed.

“I am sorry, I didn’t really mean to scare you. It’s a good surprise though, isn’t it? The baby is here, and she is healthy. This is a day to celebrate. March the third will be an important day to the whole community soon enough. And she is quite beautiful.” I nodded at the words that he was saying. This was definitely a positive and good surprise compared to what I had been expecting.

“I am very glad that it is this type of surprise, and not something that would be considered bad.” Turning back to Trinity and Reece, with the baby being held between them as they faced us. “Congratulations. This is quite the wonderful news.”

“It was a shock to me as well.” Trinity said with a smile. “She was definitely eager to come into the world last night.”

The five of us, Vincent the practical jokester of the day included, moved to greet the baby. She was precious, as most babies were. And I could feel a longing inside of me, something that I had not felt in a little while. I loved family, and I loved raising children with my Shawn. I wondered what he would think if I told him what I was feeling.

A little while later, before Trinity was due to head down to the conference room, we were once again heading to the elevator. We were going to be letting the others know where to go when they arrived for the meeting at eight. As I walked, I looked over at my Shawn, and at the longing look in his eyes.

“You are so easy to read, Geliebte.” I leaned in to whisper into his ear.

“Huh?” He was startled a little. “What are you talking about?” He tried to play innocent, but he was blushing profusely as he looked at me.

“I know what you are thinking. What you are wanting.”

“I am not thinking about anything.” He tried to deny it. “I don’t want anything.”

“So, seeing the little one, Reeselynn, didn’t make you want to add more children to our ever expanding family?” I asked him in a tone that was filled with knowing.

“I..I..I don’t know what you are talking about.” He still tried to deny it.

“It is alright, Liebe. I want to add to the family as well. I have for a while now. And soon, we will only have Ember and Bret at home. It will be so lonely when the others are gone. Don’t you want to add more children?”

“Are you serious?” I saw the excitement blossoming in his eyes as we whispered to each other.

“Yes, my love. I think that it is about time that we had more. There are plenty of children in need out there. We need to give some of them homes.”

“Thank you, Dietrich.” He stopped me then, when he threw his arms around my shoulders and hugged me tightly. “Thank you so much.”

“You do not need to thank me, Liebe, I want to do this too.” I hugged him back and tried to act like none of the others could see or hear us. This was a private matter between the two of us.
