1131 Chapter 116- Reece – Unexpected (VOLU 6)
~~
Reece
~~
Trinity was acting strange. I knew that she was, but I didn’t look into it too much. She had been through a lot today. Her body was stressed to its breaking point with the emotionally charged situations, the drama, and the pregnancy. She was going through a lot, and all I could do was be there for her. There was literally nothing else in this world that I was able to do than just be there at her side and wait for her to tell what she needed from .
It was annoying as all fucking hell, but that was how it was. She was my wife, my mate, my partner, and my biggest job was just to be there for her. To help her in any way that I could. To be strong for her. And to be there when she needed to lean on .
If I was the old , the one that I was when we were first together, I would have insisted on her going to the hospital and getting checked out by Griffin. I would have not let up until she was safe and sound in the care of people that could tell one hundred percent that she was alright and that there was nothing wrong.
Hell, past experience would even dictate that I do just that, with all the problems with the pregnancy for the twins and the quads, there was a lot that terrified . However, this was not a multiples pregnancy. And nothing at all had gone wrong when Trinity was pregnant with Talia, so I needed to think of it more along those lines than anything else.
“Do you want to get the bathwater ready?” I asked my Little Bunny the mont that we walked through the door into our room. It was a magical door, and we had literally just co from the office several floors below us.
“Yes, if you don’t mind.” She smiled at and pressed her cheek against my chest where she was leaning close to . “I will get sothing comfortable to wear after I get out of the water. Rember, don’t make the water too hot, even if I could use a nice hot soak.”
.....
“I know.” I leaned down and kissed her cheek. “Don’t take too long, we can take a bath together.”
“That sounds nice.” She sighed. “I want to feel your arms holding right now.” She started to step away from before speaking again. “I will get clothes for you as well. Go, get the water ready. And we can wash in the shower first, so the bath can just be a relaxing soak.”
“Alright.”
As my Little Bunny went to the closet to get the clothes for the both of us, I went first to the tub to let it start filling with water. I was going to set the temperature of the water so that it would be just right when we got into it after the quick shower. Then, while that filled, I stepped over to the shower and let the water start its icy spray. By the ti my Little Bunny was in here with , it would be the perfect temperature.
This wasn’t going to be a physically intimate night, Trinity was far too pregnant for that at the mont, but I intended to make sure that it was spiritually and emotionally intimate. My Little Bunny needed right now. She needed to know that I was here for her, that my strength was hers, my love was hers, and that my heart already beat inside of her own chest.
I stripped my clothes off quickly and threw them in the hamper in the corner of the room. When the door opened a mont later, I saw that my Little Bunny was walking toward , also naked. She had stripped her clothes off while she was in the bedroom, most likely depositing them in the other hamper.
“That’s a nice sight.” She smirked and looked up and down. “Too bad I can’t play with my toys right now.” The heat in her eyes told that she wanted to play more than she was letting on.
“Don’t worry, sweetheart. We can play soon enough.” I practically purred the words for her as I held a hand out for her.
“Hold your horses there, Speedy. I need to set these over there first.” She indicated the clothes that we would be wearing to bed.
I watched my Little Bunny as she walked toward the sink and the counter that surrounded it. Well, walking was the wrong word. She waddled more than anything. It was so adorable, but I couldn’t tell her that. She was self-conscious about the waddling. She thought it ant that she was too big. Not fat, she would never say that to again. But she thought that it ant that she was too pregnant to walk anymore, as she had been with the quads and almost with the twins. Then again, she was on bedrest for most of those pregnancies, so she wasn’t walking anyway.
As my Little Bunny turned to face , walking toward the shower and my waiting arms, I saw more of the belly that had caused the waddle. It was perfectly rounded and beautiful. Recently, the baby had been high and looked like a basketball had been stuck under Trinity’s shirt. Now though, the baby must have dropped a little, because she was sitting low and likely pressing on my Little Bunny’s hips. No wonder she was uncomfortable. The baby was telling her that it wouldn’t be long until delivery now. Maybe a week or two at most. In ti for our anniversary most likely. Our twentieth wedding anniversary. Who would have thought that it would co so soon?
Finally, my Little Bunny was at my side. I wrapped my arms around her and helped her into the shower. She didn’t often let do these things for her, she wanted to remain independent while she was pregnant, it was sothing that made her feel strong and happy. Right now though, she was willing to let do more, she truly was tired, wasn’t she?
We washed quickly. I didn’t want to let the bath get too cold after all. Then again, we could always warm it up with more water, or Trinity’s magic. Still, washing quicker ant sitting with her on my lap that much sooner. And I would prefer things that way. I wanted to hold her against my chest and just sit there in the water, relaxing and comforting her.
I washed her entire body, paying close attention to her belly that was carrying our baby. I loved all of my children, and I loved that Trinity was pregnant again. This was going to be another happy year for us, after we finished with all this stuff that Orson was doing. After we settled all of that, we would be able to live happily as a family once again.
After I rinsed off my Little Bunny, I helped her out of the shower and lifted her into my arms. Gripping her with one arm, I grabbed a handful of towels and dropped them next to the tub, this way she wouldn’t get chilly when we got out.
Still holding her in my arms, I stepped into the tub and settled into the contoured side that was perfectly fitted for my body. I turned my Little Bunny so that she was facing away from and settled her onto my lap. Her belly kept her afloat, unless I pulled her back down. And her breasts, filled with milk, were also floating a little.
I wanted her against though, so I pulled her into more of a sitting position, pressing her back fully against my chest and abdon. Then, with my arms wrapped around her, I held her in place, almost as if she were my prisoner there in the tub.
We talked a little, but not about what was happening in the world at the mont. We didn’t ntion Orson or anything to do with the DOE. Instead, we talked about our upcoming anniversary and what we planned to do together and with the family. We talked about the kids and what they were up to. We talked about the future. Not once did we ntion the stuff that had to do with the current crisis, and that was a wonderful feeling. Getting away from it for at least a little while.
Once in a while, while we were talking, Trinity would hiss in pain. I would feel what seed like a kick from the baby, so I just assud that this was all that it was. There was no reason for to suspect anything else. At least, not at first.
After about fifteen minutes or so, Trinity was hissing almost constantly. It was like the pain from the kicks were getting stronger. I could even feel the slight changes in her belly when they ca.
“Trinity, sweetheart, are you OK?”
“The baby is just really active right now.” She said through gritted teeth. “She is not happy with all the stress that Mommy has been under lately.”
“Are you sure that is all that it is?” I was getting worried, and I didn’t know if I should call Griffin or not.
“Yeah, I am sure that’s all it is. It’s just a little pain, nothing that I felt when I was having Talia. Then again, I hadn’t realized I was having contractions until after my water broke. That was how it was with the twins and Talia.” She laughed reminiscently, and that just sent a wave of dread through .
“Let’s get out of the water. I want to call Griffin, just to be on the safe side.”
“Alright, fine.” She said, sliding off of and hissing again.
I helped my Little Bunny out of the water and set her gingerly on her feet. Handing her a towel, I started toward the sink and the clothes that she had brought with us. I needed to get dressed as well, if I was going to call Griffin here.
I dried myself as I was walking, and in a matter of seconds, I had my pants on. I skipped the boxers and the shirt, I was aiming for expedience, not style or comfort. The mont that I turned to face my Little Bunny again, she cried out, louder than before.
“Ahh!” Then followed that up with sothing else. “Uh oh.”
“Uh oh? What uh oh? What happened?”
“M..my water just broke.” She turned to look at and I saw the shock in her eyes. “Reece, the baby is coming.”
“Shit!”
I ran to her side and pulled her into my arms. Her clothes fell to the floor and most likely were already soaked.
“I will sit you in the bed, then I will call Griffin. Do you think that you can make a door at the mont?” I asked her, but a contraction hit her hard.
“AHHH! I don’t think so.” She turned the scream into the beginning of the I, it was hard to hear, knowing that she was in pain.
“Then he needs to hurry.” I had the sense of mine to throw the towels down on the bed. We could get new sheets and a new mattresses, but if I could just keep things cleaner while my Little Bunny was in the bed, she wouldn’t need to worry about coming back into the bed right away.
Trinity was laying on the bed, screaming in pain. I knew that ti was short and that I barely had the ti to spare for the call to Griffin, but he needed to get here as soon as possible.
“Hello?” He said as he answered the phone, sleep fogging his voice.
“Griffin, I need you here now.” There was an edge of panic in my voice.
“I need you here now. Trinity is in labor. Her water just broke. She’s having contractions. We won’t make it to the hospital.” I explained it to him as calmly as I could, but I knew that I likely sounded like a scaredy cat. I didn’t know what to do. This wasn’t my forte here.
“Shit!” I heard him getting up out of the bed on his end of the line and a voice calling out for him.
“Griffin, honey, what’s wrong?” It was Lana, his wife.
“Trinity is in labor. Her water broke at the castle. They won’t make it to the hospital.”
“Let get dressed, I will co with you.” She was moving as well.
“Reece, can she open a door for us?” He asked as Trinity scread in pain in the background.
“GGRRRAAAHHHH!”
“No, she can’t. She is in too much pain.”
“Damn.” He swore as the sound of clothes moving in a closet filled the other end of the call. “We will hurry. We’re not far, as you know. If Trinity needs to push before we get there, then you need to step up and deliver that baby, Reece.”
“I can’t, Griffin. I don’t know what to do.” I was feeling more than panicked now. I was fucking terrified. “I can’t do that, Griffin.”
“You can, Reece, and you will.” He practically growled at on the phone, being more fierce and commanding than any man in our community had the right to be. It was working though. It was getting through to and opening my mind. The fog of fear and panic was subsiding and allowing to think, to listen.
“Griffin?” I said his na questioningly and he understood it for what it was.
“Get towels, Reece, to wrap the baby in. You don’t need to cut the cord, I will do that when I get there, I won’t be long. She’s delivered naturally before, so she will know the feeling of it all. Just coach her to breathe and try not to push. If the baby starts to co out on its own, aning she is crowning, then she will have to push, no matter what.”
“Dammit, Griffin, this is scary as hell.”
“I know, Reece, but you can do it. You won’t be the first father in the world to deliver a baby, and you won’t be the last.”
