Chapter 519 - Trinity – Surprising The Family (VOLUME 3)
~~
Trinity
~~
"T..T..Trinity?" Reece sat up in bed with a gasp of surprise and a look on his face that said that he was clearly happy about something.
"What is it?" I was scared at first since I had just woken up, I thought something bad might have happened and I was afraid that someone might be in here with us.
"Trinity, your scent changed." He was smiling so wide that I wanted to laugh at the goofy look on his face, but I couldn't. What the hell did he mean by that?
"Huh?" Was my head still too asleep for this? Why was it that I was so confused by his words?
"You're pregnant."
I think my heart stopped for a minute and the words he said froze like icicles in my brain.
"W..wh..wh..what did you just say?" I was grinning despite my surprise. This was not what I thought he was going to tell me when he sat up like that for no apparent reason.
"You're pregnant!"
At that, Reece leaned down and pulled me to him. We were both still naked and I could feel the excited thumping of his heart against my chest as he held me against his.
"We're going to have another baby. We're adding to our family. Isn't that amazing?"
"R..R..Reece, did you forget the last time that I was pregnant? Did you forget what happened with the twins?" I think that I was the only one scared here.
"No, I didn't forget, but we know about that now, so we can monitor it a lot sooner. I just know that things will go better this time though. It has to."
There was no getting through how excited he was. He was a happy and proud daddy so he would be overjoyed whenever he knew that we were having another baby. In truth, I was happy as well. I didn't want anything bad to happen like last time, but I was still happy and excited about having another baby. That is, if it was only one."
I wanted to tell the family, but I wanted to wait a day to do it. I wanted to tell them all, all our friends and family that were here with us, during my birthday dinner.
We weren't having a party this year, but we were having a dinner where everyone close to us was coming to celebrate with me. That might as well have been a party though, with how many people that was now.
I was greeting everyone that was arriving as they came in. Mostly, because I was waiting for a specific person. And the moment that he came inside I called out to him.
"Oh, Shawn and Dietrich, thank you for being here. Might I have a word with you for a moment, Dietrich." I gave him a firm look as he turned in my direction. I saw that he instantly knew what was going on, the light in his eyes and the grin on his face told me that for a fact.
"Of course, Trinity."
We stepped into another room, away from everyone else so that they couldn't hear what we said.
"I would say that a congratulation is in order." Dietrich smiled and hugged me gently. "I am guessing this is recent news."
"I found out yesterday morning. We are going to announce it over dinner. I just didn't want anyone else to find out before then."
"I won't say a word." He mimed locking his mouth shut and throwing away the key.
"Thank you." I knew that I could count on him. "Also, I was wondering if.." I broke off then, not knowing how I wanted to phrase this question. "I was hoping you could tell me how many-."
"How many babies there are this time?" He grinned at me. "Just one little baby girl."
"I..I..I..I didn't expect you to tell me it was a girl. I am still surprised that you can tell it like that." I felt the joy within me swell at his words.
"I am sorry if I ruined the surprise."
"No, not at all. I am happy, and best of all, Reece doesn't know so I can just make him wait until the baby is here."
"Ooh, devious. I like it." He winked at me and put an arm around my shoulder. "Now, come my dear Trinity, we need to get back to your birthday party."
"It's just a dinner." I corrected him as he walked me out of the room.
"Semantics." He chuckled as we rejoined the growing crowd.
We all sat down to eat shortly after that. There was lots of fun talk and love shared between us all. I loved when I got this entire group of people together. It was nice seeing how different types of people, from so many different backgrounds, could all come together and create one big family.
"Can I get everyone's attention please?" I asked as I stood at the head of the table, Reece rising along with me.
"Is something wrong?" Juniper looked at me with suspicious eyes that asked me if I was up to something right now.
"Nothing at all. I would say that everything is right with the world." I grinned at her and everyone else that was here. All my friends, my guards and my family. I could even feel the curious gazes of Reagan and Rika on me. Everyone was looking at me with expectant looks on their faces.
"Really? Do tell." Juniper grinned, I think she already guessed what was going on since I had opted not to drink any alcohol today.
"Well, we wanted to let you all know that our family is expanding."
"We found out yesterday that we are having another baby." Reece added to my statement as he wrapped his hands around my waist.
The excitement exploded around us. Everyone was so excited for us. Especially the twins.
"Mommy, we have new baby?" Rika asked me.
"Mama, me want baby too." Reagan added.
"Yes, you're going to be a big brother and a big sister now. Are you going to take care of them with us?"
"Yes!"
"Uh huh."
I think the most excitement came from Mom, Dad, and Lyla.. The three of them wouldn't stop smiling and hugging us when they found out.
