Trinity

~~

"Reece, I want to sit up, but I still can't move at all. I don't know why, but my body isn't working. I want to see more than the ceiling. I want to see you and everyone else better. I want to see the kids." My body was feeling better since the tension broke, but my heart was still aching for my family. I needed to have a few things taken care of right away. 

"Okay, Little Bunny, I will sit you up." He turned to the side so that he could reach for a remote control that was sitting on a nearby table. That was when he pressed a button that made the bed start to move on its own. "It's going to sit up by itself. Let me adjust you so that you will be comfortable when it's done."

At that, Reece took the blankets from my body and lifted me into his arms. In a way, I felt so much smaller next to him than I used to. Maybe it was just because I was feeling weak because I couldn't move. I didn't really know for sure but that could be it.

Still, feeling small or not, I loved the feeling of being in Reece's arms again. Apparently, I had been gone for about three months instead of two. And I had been so busy and stressed about that damn voice, which I know now that it was Hekate. All of this added together just means that I haven't actually been in my husband's arms for almost four months now.

It might not have felt that long to me, but it was still a long time. I missed him. I missed this feeling. I missed these types of moments.

I didn't want to waste the small opportunity that I was given. Instead of just sitting there as motionless as possible, not doing anything at all, I decided to tilt my head the little bit that I was able to and rest my head on his shoulder for the time being.

"Hmmm." I sighed contentedly as I took all of him in.

"Little Bunny?" I think he was a little taken aback by what I did. "Sweetheart, I missed you so much. Can I hold you while I sit in your bed instead of putting you down? I don't want to let you go again. Now that I finally have you back in my arms, I want you here for a lot longer than this quick move."

"Reece." I sighed his name now. Making it more than just me saying his name but almost like I was answering his question in that one word.

He didn't wait for another response. Instead of putting me down on the bed that was now sitting up, he sat on the bed and cradled me in his arms. I was still leaning against his chest and smelling that intoxicating scent of him. The scent that, as I said before, used to scare me but now just soothes my soul.

I did notice something that scared me when I was on Reece's lap. There was something that I didn't expect to see. Though in all honesty I should have known this was going to be the case. I mean, it had been a long time already. And this was just about how I expected to look while in my condition.

Well, first off, I noticed that my arms were thinner and that I seemed to have lost a lot of weight. I wasn't overweight or anything to begin with, so losing this much had made me look sickly and skeletal.

The other thing that I noticed was that my belly was huge. And I do mean huge. It was at least twice as big as I had been with Reagan and Rika. There was only one baby more than that time, but I was so much bigger already.

"Well, I guess there is one upside to things so far." I laughed and tilted my head to look at Reece.

"What's that, Little Bunny?" He asked me as he shifted my body and tilted my head back to look me in the eyes better.

"I didn't get gestational hypertension this time. My body was just here growing babies while I was off in another world. That had to make things easier on the triplets."

"So, you're making jokes about this already, huh?" Noah laughed at me. "Sometimes, I don't understand you, Trinity. You are so out of this world."

"Not anymore, Noah. I came back about ten minutes or so ago. Can't you keep up?" At that latest joke of mine, Noah's jaw dropped open in shock while Reece, Trevor and Athair mòr laughed at him.

"Funny. That was really funny." He crossed his arms over his chest in fake annoyance. "What a laughing riot you are, sis."

"I'm sorry, but why is that funny?" Alexio asked as he and Rudy walked a little more into the room.

"Yes, I too do not know why it is funny. It is true that she just came back." Rudy added. They both looked like they were interested in what was going on, but they also didn't know anyone that was here aside from myself. 

"It's alright, you two. What my brother said, me being out of this world, was a saying. It has many meanings. However, in this case, he was referring to me being a bit of a weirdo. However, I turned his words into a joke. That was all that it was about. Don't worry, the longer that you are in this world, the more that you will be able to relate to our strange American English."

"I think that, for a long time, I am going to be confused." Alexio scratched the side of his head as he thought about it.

"I think that I understand it. It is not that hard when you just stop thinking about it too much. I think that I will be fine with all of it very soon, Queen Trinity."

"That is good, Rudy." I smiled at them. "Would the two of you like to relax a little, have someone bring you some food or something? You can take a shower and clean yourselves and put on some different clothes. Maybe something a little more modern and like our own." At my words, the two men looked down at themselves and then up at the men in the room.

"We would not know how to do any of that." Alexio was looking very upset now. I think he was regretting coming here.

"No worries. I will send some people with you to instruct you on what to do. You can learn from them and when you are ready, you can come back here to see me. I am sure that there is much that the three of us have to talk about."

"W..would that be okay, Queen Trinity? I..it wouldn't be inappropriate for us to visit with the Goddess Queen, would it?" Rudy was sounding worried and upset, sort of like Alexio had been.

"Yes, Rudy. It will be just fine. I brought you here with me, didn't I? The two of you are my responsibility until you are able to navigate this world on your own. It will take a little bit of time, but I am sure that you will catch onto it all very soon. We will discuss all the options that the two of you have ahead of you when you come back to see me. Until then, I will have Peter, the head butler, find some men that are capable of helping you to find some clothes and to get you some rooms to stay in. Hey, Trevor, you're a little shorter than Alexio, but other than that you are close to the same size, could you lend him some shorts and a shirt? Or does anyone know of a big and tall shop to get him something that fits him?"

"No worries, Trinity, I will just make clothes for him. He can tell me what style and type he prefers, and they will be in his room. The same goes for Mr. Rudy. If the two of you want to come with me, I will take you to meet with Peter."

"Thank you, sir."

"Much appreciated." The two demons bowed their heads at him and followed after him.

"My name is Valerian. I want to thank you for helping Trinity. She is a dear family member of mine." I heard Athair mòr talking to the two of them as they all left the room.

"Alright, well now that Trinity is awake, I am sure that everyone wants to come and see her. We should start with the kids though." Trevor looked at me with kind eyes and a happy smile. "I will have Eve, Wesley, Samuel and Lila bring them in. You know they won't wait either."

"Thank you, Trevor." Reece nodded at him and wrapped his arms around me a little tighter. He was not about to let go of me. "Noah, can I ask you to please contact Griffin. Let him know that Trinity is awake."

"Yeah, I will call him on my way to see Nikki and Elias." He smiled and then looked me in the eyes. "I am really happy that you're awake. I have been so worried about you, Trinity."

"I know, Noah. And I am so sorry for having worried you."

"You're back now, and that is all that matters. But please, for the love of all that is decent in this world, never do something like that again."

"Ha ha ha! Alright, I get it. I won't go anywhere like that again."

"Good.." I could tell that he wanted to hug me but I was in Reece's arms so he just smiled and nodded before turning to leave the room with Trevor.
