"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.

n

"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.

n

"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?

n

"Huh?

" Was my head still too asleep for this? Why was it that I was so confused by his words?

n

"You're pregnant.

"

nI think my heart stopped for a minute and the words he said froze like icicles in my brain.

n

"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.

n

"You're pregnant!

"

nAt 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.

n

"We're going to have another baby. We're adding to our family. Isn't that amazing?

"

n

"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.

n

"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.

"

nThere 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.

"

nI 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.

nWe 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.

nI 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.

n

"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.

n

"Of course, Trinity.

"

nWe stepped into another room, away from everyone else so that they couldn't hear what we said.

n

"I would say that a congratulation is in order.

" Dietrich smiled and hugged me gently.

"I am guessing this is recent news.

"

n

"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.

"

n

"I won't say a word.

" He mimed locking his mouth shut and throwing away the key.

n

"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-.

"

n

"How many babies there are this time?

" He grinned at me.

"Just one little baby girl.

"

n

"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.

n

"I am sorry if I ruined the surprise.

"

n

"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.

"

n

"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.

"

n

"It's just a dinner.

" I corrected him as he walked me out of the room.

n

"Semantics.

" He chuckled as we rejoined the growing crowd.

nWe 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.

n

"Can I get everyone's attention please?

" I asked as I stood at the head of the table, Reece rising along with me.

n

"Is something wrong?

" Juniper looked at me with suspicious eyes that asked me if I was up to something right now.

n

"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.

n

"Really? Do tell.

" Juniper grinned, I think she already guessed what was going on since I had opted not to drink any alcohol today.

n

"Well, we wanted to let you all know that our family is expanding.

"

n

"We found out yesterday that we are having another baby.

" Reece added to my statement as he wrapped his hands around my waist.

nThe excitement exploded around us. Everyone was so excited for us. Especially the twins.

n

"Mommy, we have new baby?

" Rika asked me.

n

"Mama, me want baby too.

" Reagan added.

n

"Yes, you're going to be a big brother and a big sister now. Are you going to take care of them with us?

"

n

"Yes!

"

n

"Uh huh.

"

nI 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.
