Trinity

I resumed my studying after my talk with Gabriel. After a little while I heard Reece and a couple other voices in the hallway as they seemed to be carrying items into the nursery. By that time it had been almost two hours since Reece had left and it seemed to me that he was working hard.

I heard some banging, lots of shouting, plenty of laughter, a shout and a growled curse over the course of about two or three hours. It sounded like several people were watching Reece get frustrated over that time frame.

Reece came back to the room several times after that first two hour gap. He wouldn't tell me what it was that was going on in the room, even though it sounded interesting. He came and had lunch with me and we talked about how my studying was going. He never volunteered anything about what he was doing.

Once dinner rolled around Reece came back and took a shower before we ate together at the table. He carried me gingerly in his arms and sat me in my seat. It was kind of nice to have him carrying me like that, I had to admit that. I loved feeling his arms wrapped around me.

Reece tried, and failed, to keep my attention on him during the entire meal. I heard the sound of the maids going into the nursery. There was the vacuum running and a few other small noises that were much softer than the ones I had heard when Reece was in there.

"Did you make a mess in there?" I asked him in a slightly accusatory tone.

"No, not really. But now that things are finished I need the room to be cleaned. I would have done it myself, but I didn't want to miss dinner with you." He smiled at me.

"Plus, that's what you pay them for, right? Go on, finish the thought you were thinking." I laughed at him.

"Well, it's true. If I do their jobs then I am paying them for nothing." He laughed right back at me.

"Does this mean that the nursery is almost ready?" I asked him with a smile on my face. I was excited because when it was done I wanted him to show me the progress he had made. I had given him permission to do the room without even needing to hear what he wanted to do to it. I was dying to know but it was his masterpiece and he could show me when he was ready.

"Do you want to see it after dinner?" I could tell that he had been planning on asking me anyway. There was a bright and s.h.i.+ning light in his eyes, the excitement was nearly bubbling over.

"Yes, of course I do. I can't wait to see what it looks like." I could feel the grin on my face.

I think I ate my dinner a little too fast after that. I wolfed down my food so quickly that Reece actually laughed at me. He didn't say anything though, he just hurried through his own plate and cleared the table away.

When he placed a call to the kitchen to have the remnants of dinner cleared away he asked if they had finished across the hall. We hadn't heard them in several minutes so we thought they were done but it was best to be sure.

Once we got the confirmation that they had indeed finished up, Reece lifted me into his arms and carried me across the hall. I felt the excitement growing within me. My heart was pounding and the adrenaline was flowing.

"Calm down a little or I won't take you in there." Reece threatened as he heard the erratic state of my thumping heart.

"Alright, I will try." I turned and kissed his cheek. "But this is exciting."

"I know it is, Little Bunny, I know it is."

After I took a few deep calming breaths Reece opened the doors in front of me. The room had been completely transformed. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I couldn't believe that Reece had done this.

There was a mural on the only wall that was uninterrupted by windows and doors. It was to the right of the door when we went in. The mural was of the forest and it looked just like a scene we could see somewhere here in Colorado. It was magnificently done. The rest of the room had been painted primarily in a soft yellow. There was a soft pastel green color on the trim, moulding, and the door and window frames. The ceiling was still a bright white that was perfect, not a speck of any yellow or green paint on it.

The furniture had been set up. I could tell that Reece had gone and got new things today. He wanted something that fit his vision. The items from our baby shower were to be donated to different people in need among the pack.

The cribs, both of them, were a rich mahogany and were beautifully designed. The dressers and the changing tables matched the cribs perfectly. There were also two beautiful and elegant looking sleigh rocking chairs with matching ottomans.

There were crib sheets on the mattresses in the cribs. Blankets had been draped over the sides of the cribs. Giant stuffed animals decorated the corners of the room. Video baby monitors were already in place at the top of the cribs. Elegant mobiles were in place, dangling their charms for babies to see.

Everything was done and it was all perfect. The sight of it brought tears to my eyes. I just looked around the room and felt the happiness and joy wash over me.

"Reece, it's perfect." I sobbed, unable to hold the tears in any more.

"Don't cry, Little Bunny." He nearly panicked.

"They're happy tears, Reece. All happy tears."

Reece went on from there to show me all the clothes I had bought for the baby and all the ones that Lila and Mom had chosen for us among the baby shower gifts. All of them had been washed, delicately folded, and placed inside the dressers. Inside the closets, one each on either side of the cribs, were the outfits that were not fit to be folded. They had been hung on tiny little hangers and put away. There were boxes upon boxes of diapers and wipes that were in there just waiting for us.

"There is one more thing." Reece told me as he turned off the light. It was already dark outside the house so as soon as the light went off the inside of the room was darkened as well. Or at least it should have darkened. Instead of going completely black inside the room there were glowing lines on the wall and designs on the ceiling.

The mural that Reece had painted was outlined in glow in the dark paint. The trees looked to be s.h.i.+ning in light of the moon which was painted there behind them. The moon was only visible when the room was completely dark. And on the ceiling, also only visible in the dark, was a complete map of the constellations painted perfectly. They looked wonderful.

All the beauty brought tears to my eyes again. Reece had truly outdone himself on this. It was just amazing.

Reece sat me down in one of the rocking chairs and knelt before me. I looked him in the eyes as he held my hands firmly in his.

"Trinity, you were right. We needed to overcome the fear that this episode has caused us. We need to show it that we are stronger than it is. We needed to prove that to ourselves more than anything. I am sorry that I didn't trust you on it. I am sorry that I was worrying too much."

"Does that mean-." I started but he cut me off before I was anywhere near done.

"That does not mean that I am done worrying about you." He looked at me sternly. "I love you too much to ever stop. Even if this was a completely normal pregnancy with no issues I would worry about you. I will worry about you and our babies for the rest of my life because that is my job. However, I will try to not be so overbearing. I will go back to work tomorrow and let our moms watch over you with Gabriel's or Vincent's a.s.sistance. I trust them with you as I rightfully should."

"Thank you Reece. I am glad that we are getting back to a semblance of normal, even if things are still going to be different."

"We need to work on this together. It is the only way for us to make it through this time."

I was glad that things had gotten better for us. And I was grateful for Gabriel's help in pus.h.i.+ng us along this path. He was definitely someone that I was glad was here at my side, a.s.sisting us.
