Chapter 376 - Trinity - First Morning As A Mommy (VOLU 3)
~~
Trinity
~~
Reece had made go to sleep late last night. He was right that I had been exhausted, but I didn't want to take my eyes off of our children. All I wanted was to be there for them and hold them. They were so little and so precious that I knew they needed .
I listened to him though. I went to sleep. It was broken sleep though, since I had to wake up to feed them every two hours or so. Reece was there to help . He brought the babies to , and when I was done feeding one of them he would gently hold the baby against his chest and pat them until they both burped and fell to sleep.
The nurses had been there to help us as well, but they spent a lot of their ti observing us rather than doing anything for . I saw that they were smiling happily as they did what little they could. I think they were quite proud of Reece. I couldn't bla them though, I was proud of him as well.
It had only been a little over eight hours since the babies had co into this world and Reece was already proving himself to be a wonderful daddy. I was so happy right now, even with how tired I still was. I couldn't imagine a better life at the mont. I had two beautiful babies, I had the perfect husband, and I had friends and family that loved dearly. What more could I want?
Right now, at almost nine in the morning, I was starting to feed the babies again. They didn't eat much yet, but I knew that they needed to eat often. And with there being two of them it ant that it would take a while each ti. It was fine, honestly, I was just glad that I didn't have triplets like Acacia. And soon, I might even get used to feeding them both at the sa ti to cut the ti down.
I was enjoying my first morning as a mommy though. It was so much better than I had thought it would be. Even the pain wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I know that it probably had to do with the fact that I was a shifter and healed faster than a human, but still it was nearly gone now.
If soone asked what I had felt the night before, how it felt to push the babies from my body, then I would tell them about the pain. But, even that seed like it was hard to rember. I know that it had hurt, and that I had been terrified, but with the joy of having the babies here with finally it's like those mories were already fading. I wonder if that was how it was for everyone.
"So, Trinity, are you ready to get up and move around? Take a shower or sothing?" Griffin ca into the room and those were his first words. "The sooner we get you moving around, the sooner we can get you all ho and adjusting to life as a new family."
"I wouldn't say no to a shower." I grinned at him. "But, who would take care of the babies while I am in there."
"What do you think a daddy is for?" Reece looked at like I had just insulted him, putting on a false air of indignation. "You don't think I can do it." I watched him pretend to slump over as if hurt or sothing. "Ugh! You wound with your words."
"And you're overly dramatic." I laughed at him. "I just didn't think that it was appropriate to leave a puppy to watch a baby." I laughed at him, a little too hard it would seem since the effort caused a slight twinge to roll through .
"Just get up and get cleaned, I will take care of my babies." Reece ignored and walked over to the two little wheeled bassinets that the babies were in. They were sitting side by side as they slept soundly. I enjoyed seeing them, but Reece and Griffin were right to offer a shower, I definitely wanted one.
"Fine." I rolled my eyes as I shook my head. "I will go, but when I get back I want food." I grinned at him. "I don't know what I want more, breakfast or a shower. So, I want both."
"That was going to be my next suggestion. And I know Reece has sothing against hospital food, I don't truly bla him of course but still." Griffin shook his head as he tried hard not to laugh. "I ordered so breakfast for you, it should be here by the ti that you're out of the shower and back in your room. You can all have sothing to eat before your stream of visitors show up."
"You know sothing, Griffin." I looked at him with a smile. "You're amazing!"
"Yeah, I know." He laughed. "Now co on, let's get you up."
Griffin started taking the wires and tubes off of . I supposedly didn't need them anymore. The IV, heart monitors, blood pressure cuff, all of it ca off. It felt nice to be free of all the dical equipnt. I had been hooked up to since last night, and I had gotten used to them all being there, but I was glad they were gone now.
After I was cleared of unnecessary wires, I was led to a bathroom where I could shower. The room was unlike what I was used to, but of course that was true for just about anywhere I went. The toilet was on the far side of the room and the shower was closer to the door. The shower itself was pretty big since it was an entire corner of the room, but it was like that so physically handicapped people could have assistance when showering. There was a curtain that closed around the large area, but that was it.
It may have been different from ho, but I didn't care. It had hot water and soap and that was all that I needed at the mont. I let the water get as hot as I could tolerate and let it lt the tension from my muscles while washing away the remaining traces of the night before.
The nurses had cleaned up, and I felt good enough to rest last night, but there was nothing compared to being fully clean and dressed in your own clothes. That was another luxury that coming into this room allowed . I was putting on my own clothes and not a hospital gown.
Once I was clean I kept it simple, I didn't need sothing complicated to wear while here. I just put on a loose fitting nightgown and a pair of fuzzy socks. When I had been packing them I figured people would laugh at , but I didn't care. I was here to push babies out of my hoohoo; if they said anything then they could just kiss my ass. I was going to be comfortable right now.
When I made it back to my room, cleaned, dried, and dressed, I could sll the food that had been ordered.Griffin had, apparently, gone all out when ordering food for us. I silently thanked him since he wasn't here right now and vowed to invite him and Lana over for a nice dinner at the house soti soon.
I enjoyed sitting there with Reece and our babies while we ate our food. It was such a normal thing to do that it made feel like we were really a family now. It was like I was sitting not with just my mate or my husband anymore. Sohow he was more than that now. Reece was different now and so was I.
I didn't mind us being different though. I accepted it with open arms. This was what I had wanted. This was the next logical step for us to take, even if it was considered a bit too soon for us to be moving on to this stage.
After we ate our breakfast, it seed like it was ti for to feed our babies again. Reece sat on the bed with while I fed Reagan and then Rika. We talked about things that we thought were important at the ti. We smiled and we laughed, enjoying our first morning with our little ones.
Soon, though, the babies were back to sleep, and we would soon be visited by our family and friends. So people, like our direct family mbers, had seen the babies last night, but they hadn't been able to see after they were born. Now, they were all planning to co see throughout the day. I know it was going to be busy but it was going to be full of love as well.
