Chapter 520 - Trinity – New Baby (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

The excitement didn't die down for a while. I guess that everyone was excited about the new baby. And I stuck to my guns and didn't tell Reece that the new baby was a girl. I bought some things for her without him knowing what they were, but I was keeping them all hidden away until she was here.

We had talked about names as well. He told me the names that he wanted if it were a boy and if it were a girl. I have to say, Reece is actually really good at picking out names for our children.

The name that he picked this time was Talia Serene Gray for a girl. If she were a boy then the name he had in mind was Tarren Archer Gray. I liked both of them, and I thought that Reece would be happy to have his choice used once again.

I also thought that Reece was going to go bananas at having another girl. He was so doting to Reagan and Rika, and I just knew, when it came time for his little princesses to grow up, he was going to go insane from the heartache. He was such a goofball sometimes.

This pregnancy was going smoothly. Griffin was monitoring me on a weekly basis again, but there were no signs of gestational hypertension this time around, and that was a huge relief. Still, even with everything appearing to be fine, Griffin kept checking on me weekly.

I didn't have to go on bedrest this time though. And I spent a lot of time with Reagan and Rika as they prepared to become the older siblings. I was worried that the two of them would feel like they were being forgotten when Talia was born. I wanted to make sure they knew how much mommy and daddy loved them, and that our love for them wouldn't change.

Over the course of the six month pregnancy, we were getting Reagan and Rika moved into their own rooms. The nursery was going to be used for the new baby so it was being rearranged and the excess furniture was being put into storage.

Rika's room was across the hall and to the left of the nursery, while Reagan's was across the hall and to the right. They both had been moved to twin size beds with soft safety rails to keep them from falling to the floor. They had their toys, dressers, and everything that they could want or need in the room.

The color scheme of the nursery wasn't being changed, and neither was anything about how it was decorated. Well, there was one thing, the names Reagan and Rika were taken down and would be replaced with the new baby's name when she got here. That is, once Daddy found out what the name was going to be for sure.

It was summer when the baby was due, and I didn't want to be stuck at home all the time. I needed to have my guards and or friends with me at all times. If you listened to Reece then I needed a whole army. However, I could take a few guards and go out for the day whenever I wanted to.

On July the thirteenth, I went on a playday with Juniper, Reagan, Rika, Ilana, and Rowan. The six of us, and my four guards, were enjoying a day at the splash pad that we had installed in Trinity Falls. There were a lot more kids there than just ours and they were all having fun playing together. Even Dietrich was there with his brood who kept running up to Shawn and hugging him with their wet clothes. It was fun.

I had just been thinking to myself that I like only having one baby in my belly at a time because it made it so much easier to move around and I didn't feel quite as uncomfortable. I had been about to say that, but that was when I felt a sharp pain sear across my belly. It wasn't a Braxton Hicks contraction, this one was real, and it hurt.

Seconds after I felt that pain, before I could even straighten up and while Vincent was still stepping toward me from just a few feet away, I felt the fluid pour down my legs. My water had just broke.

"Trinity, are you OK?" Vincent grabbed my elbow and helped me to stand up a little more, but the pain only got worse like that.

"That depends?" I grimaced at him and saw worry filling his eyes. He remembered my last pregnancy very well and I know he was worried about that happening again.

"What's wrong, Trinity?" I saw him about to pick me up, but I held my hand out to stop him. He couldn't tell because I was only in a two piece swimsuit, but I was too gross to carry right now.

"Well, nothing is truly wrong, I'm just in a lot of pain right now."

"Then something is wron-." He stopped and looked at me again. "Oh!" He understood it then.

"My water just broke, Vincent." I told him what had actually happened now.

"We should go." He reached for a towel and wrapped it around me. "I will take you to the hospital now. SHANE!" He called out to get his attention. "Call Reece, tell him to meet us at the hospital."

"Why? What's wron-.. Never mind." He understood as well.

"I will get the kids." Shawn was already moving.

"I'll get the SUV." David was running toward the parking lot.

"Ooh, how exciting." Dietrich grinned as he collected his children. "Do you want me to babysit, Trinity?" He asked me with a gleeful smile.

"I want them to see the baby at the hospital."

"Then I will watch them there. Come little ones, we need to get dressed."

Things moved quickly after that, and before I knew it, I was hooked up to machines in a hospital room and Reece was running through the door in a panic.

"I'm here. I'm here. Don't have the baby without me." He looked like he had run all the way from his meeting at the office to the hospital here. Knowing him, he probably did.

"Calm down, Worry Mutt, I'm not going to have the baby without you. Well, if you would have taken too much longer, I might have, but you made it here so we're all good."

"I got here as soon as I could." He smiled, came to my side, and kissed me gently. "I just about panicked when I got the news. I literally stopped a man who was in the middle of his presentation and told him he can finish up later. I was out the door and in the stairwell before they even knew what happened."

"He's not lying." Noah's slightly annoyed voice followed his words. "I was left there to explain it all to them. Good thing I was able to get them to understand."

"I'm the boss, they better understand."

After a little more quarreling, Griffin came in to check me and it was time to push my little baby into the world. This was only the second time that I was in labor but it was like I knew exactly what to do, I guess I remembered it all really well.

"It's a girl." Griffin called out to us just as I heard the musical cry of my new little girl.

"Another little girl. Our little Talia Serene." I could hear the love in my husband's voice as he watched the baby get cleaned up. After the nurse finished with her, she handed our little girl to Reece who just stared at her in awe.

When we brought Reagan and Rika in to see her, they giggled in excitement and joy. They wanted to hold her and took turns sitting in a chair and holding her with Reece's help. Mom and Dad were excited as well, holding her right after Reagan and Rika. Lyla and Grandfather followed by my brothers and sister in-laws came next. After them came my friends. All of them wanted to meet little Talia.

Well, I guess my not so little kingdom of shifters and magic users now had another princess. I bet you Reece is already planning the tiara that he is going to have made for her.. I may not like the excess when it comes to me, but the kids really did look adorable in their little crowns.
