Chapter 789: Chapter 206- Reece – Delivery Part 4 (VOLUME 4)

Reece
~~
The nurse pushed the water into my hand. It felt really cold to the touch and that was what alerted me to the fact that I was overheating. I was letting my emotions get the best of me. I was not doing what I needed to do. I was not taking care of my wife. Trinity needed me. My Little Bunny needed me to be there for her and here I was acting like an idiot.
I pulled down the mask that I was wearing and then lifted the cup to my mouth and tipped it. I didn’t just take a sip or anything like that. Nope, I downed it all in one quick gulp. I needed to make this quick so that I could get back to what I needed to. I needed to be there for my wife. I needed to be there for the baby that Griffin said was still in there.
But how? How was it possible that there was another baby in there? Griffin had done so many ultrasounds. He had checked my Little Bunny over so many times. How was it that a fourth baby was there? How was this baby overlooked? What had happened?
“OK.” I breathed out a big huff, trying to push off the negative emotions that had taken over me. “I am OK now. I am sorry, Trinity. I am sorry for letting that happen to me.”
.....
“It’s OK, Reece. I know how you are. Seeing me like that had to be hard for you. I don’t know what it looks like, but I can imagine that I am a mess after having had three babies removed from my belly.” She was smiling at me sweetly as if to tell me that there was nothing to worry about. That wasn’t right though. I had plenty to worry about. Her and the surgery that was still on going. Our mystery baby was still in her belly. And the three little baby boys that were already down in the nursery. Not to mention Reagan, Rika and Talia. There was plenty for me to worry about.
Holy shit. I have seven kids. I more than doubled the number that I previously had. I went from three kids to seven in a matter of minutes. Holy shit. That was just a massive change. And I was not prepared for that. I was not ready for four babies. We don’t have another crib. We don’t have another name sign. We don’t have anything for this new little wonder. And so that was even more that I had to worry about. I needed to make sure that the nursery was finished yet again. This was not what we had thought was going to happen. We had not planned on another baby at all.
“May, can you please run to the nursery. Tell them that we have another baby and to prepare another bassinet as soon as possible. I don’t want to pull the baby out too soon. This one feels a lot smaller than the others. It is going to need more warmth and care. I feel like the other three were laying on it too much. This one just might struggle a little bit.” The moment that he finished speaking, the nurse ran from the room.

I didn’t like hearing those words. What was going on with my baby? Was this fourth mystery baby that we didn’t know about going to die? Was he or she going to be lost to us before we even really knew about them? Were they already lost to us? Were they already dead?
“Griffin?” Trinity called out to him. “I..is my baby going to be OK? I..is my baby d..d..d-.” I could tell that Trinity didn’t want to say the word. There were tears in her voice and I could feel her heart breaking from here. I didn’t want her to suffer like that. I didn’t want her to feel like she was helpless right now, but I knew that was the case.
I immediately moved even closer to my Little Bunny. I leaned forward and pressed my head against hers and started to soothe her.
“Shh. Shh. Shh. It’s alright, Trinity. The baby isn’t dead.” I knew that for a fact. And there was one main reason for that. “Griffin would know. He has his hand on the baby. He can probably feel it’s life inside of it. If the baby were already lost, he wouldn’t be so worried about it.”
“Reece” She called out to me with a broken voice. The sobbing was now full on crying and nothing happy at all. The happy tears had passed on and she was now scared and worried about this baby that we hadn’t even known about until now. She and I were both worried about this mystery baby.
“Reece is right, Trinity. The baby is alive. And I plan to keep it that way. I am pouring some of my healing into the baby right now. I am trying to make them stronger before I pull them out of you.” He was being frank about what was happening right now. The baby was alive, but it wasn’t as strong as the other babies had been.
“How did we not know about this baby, Griffin? What happened? How could we have missed it?”
“I don’t know how to answer that, Reece. The only thing that I can say is that it happens. When you are dealing with multiples, especially when you get to three or more, it’s easy for the other babies to hide one. This looks to me like the triplets were laying on top of this one. It was hidden behind them the entire time and just went unnoticed. I am sorry, Reece. I don’t know what to else say other than that.”
“Yeah, I guess you are right. So, it was just a hidden baby. And with the others on top of it, is that why it is smaller? It couldn’t grow as much as the triplets? And, are we saying that this baby was from another egg? It’s a fourth baby and makes them quadruplets, but this baby isn’t going to be identical to the other three.” That was the way that I was understanding it with him calling the other boys the triplets.
“Yes, Reece, that is exactly it. This baby would be from another egg. This one will be part of the set, but will probably not look the same as the other three.”
Griffin was nodding along as the door to the room burst open. The nurse from before came running back into the room with the first nurse that left, Jan. She was the one that had taken Zachary down to the nursery.
“What is this about another baby?” She had all of the required materials, but she looked just as shocked as she sounded.
“Just what May told you. There is a fourth baby. Get ready, I am going to pull them out now.”
“Y..yes, Dr. White. Right away.” She started to heat up the bassinet and grabbed the blanket that she needed to take the baby from him.
That was it. Griffin was going to deliver the baby. I heard a slight popping sound and rushing of liquid. That must be the amniotic fluid for this baby. After that, I could hear the moving of the baby inside of my Little Bunny’s body, just like the others had. This baby was moving quicker than the other three had. It was going to be out of here soon.
I was waiting with bated breath for this new little surprise to be here. I needed to know who they were and what they looked like. This was a baby that had no name right now, and we didn’t even know if it was a boy or a girl. It was such a big surprise to us that even amid all the fear and anxiety, I was excited and happy as well.
There was that sucking and popping sound of the baby coming out of the belly. It was like the hidden little gem was also desired by the womb. Just like Zayden, the baby’s former home wanted to keep it in there for a little while longer.
“Alright, here is Baby D, number four, the surprise little one that none of us knew anything about before just a few minutes ago.” Griffin sounded jovial and happy, but I knew that he was still a little nervous and scared.
The baby was out. I could see through the screen a little. There was the shadow of Griffin’s hands and the baby that looked oh so tiny compared to the others. And the others looked so little too. They had been smaller than all of the other babies we had before this since there were so many of them, they weren’t able to grow as freely.
“Congratulations, it’s a girl. Baby D, which is thankfully the last one in there, is a girl. She was brought into this world at twelve forty-three in the morning on January the first. ” Griffin actually sounded truly happy when he said that. I didn’t know if it was because he knew that there were no other babies in there or because it was a girl and I wasn’t going to be overly dominating Trinity and the girls with my massive brood of sons.
Regardless of the way that Griffin meant it, he was already cutting the baby’s umbilical cord. He was getting her ready to be taken down to the nursery so that she could be cared for in the way that she needed. She was going to be strong. She was going to make it. I just knew it.
“Meet your new little girl.” Griffin said as he held the baby girl up for us to see.
