Trinity

~~

The meeting with the president had gone better than I thought that it would. She was willing to work with us on this issue, and that was the first step. After that meeting, with the president’s full support, the various senators and congressmen worked with Reece and I to find out what it was that we needed to have in these laws and bills that we were trying to get passed.

There were meetings with the guards, with all the family that we consulted on a regular basis, the members of the council that we had formed long ago, and even with the kids that were of age. We had spoken with them about what they wanted in the future. They were younger than us, but they were still part of this situation. They were our legacy on the world after all. And it was just as important that we take their thoughts and feelings into consideration.

The bills were beginning to take shape over the week following the meeting with the president. They were focusing on acknowledging people as anyone that was human in appearance more often than not, that walked, talked, and functioned with a human capacity, as well as other things. We were working on making it so that places of employment couldn’t deny someone because of their species, that it was illegal to ask for someone’s species or require that they carry identification with them that identified their species.

In truth, while we were working on these things for our people, we started to weave some things about different races in there as well. There were still people that thought that immigrants needed to carry identification cards on them and things like that. So why not eliminate that while we were at it.

Another thing that happened during the week that we were working on the laws and bills that we were trying to make, was that the election was made official. And President Maddock had officially been reelected. That worked in our favor, because we didn’t need to worry about another president stepping in after we had gotten this far.

Petrenko and Westmont were working with us and other allied nations in Europe to get their bills started, but we still needed to meet with the heads of their countries before things would move forward. The bills there were right along the lines as the ones in the US.

…..

Prince Hishahito and Prime Minister of Singapore, Zul Lee Wong, who was a Merman, were spearheading the Asian countries on our behalf. With their assistance, we would hopefully be able to get a lot of work done in the next couple of weeks. It was already almost halfway through November, and I wanted to make sure that we stayed ahead of the NSA.

Of course, we also had Darrol monitoring the information that the NSA was getting all the time. And when he wasn’t working on that, he was teaching Reagan to do the work himself. From what I had been told recently, Reagan was quite the genius when it came to computers. And he was learning the techniques of this master hacker with ease.

In a way, I was extremely proud of my son and the accomplishments that he was achieving. However, my son was becoming a hacker and that could get him in trouble with the law if he wasn’t careful. So, on top of being proud of how smart and accomplished he already was, I was worried about him. You know, just another day in the life of a mom. There was so much that was going on here that I didn’t know what to think or do half the time. At least when it came to him and Rika.

Rika had taken quite the hands-on management position. She had gotten Alyssa, Alexandria, Ilana, and Ashley together to work with her and under her guidance they had maintained quite a complex system. They were able to run smoothly as if they had been working in an office or something like that for a decade. I was very proud of the work that they were managing day in and day out. Rika was even working with the politicians as if it was nothing at all. She was quite skilled when it came to being a diplomat.

With how wonderfully that everything seemed to be going, I knew that we were just about ready to take the next step. I would take basic copies of the bill that we were submitting to the House soon. I would show these bills to the leaders of countries that we either had no or small amounts of political influence in. I would explain to them what we needed and urge them to join us.

This next week or so was going to be busy, and most of it was going to happen very early in the morning or late at night. Because the countries would all be in different time zones than us, and we needed to visit with a lot of them. There were meetings that were officially scheduled, but I didn’t think that it would get back to the NSA. Not unless they were monitoring every nation in the world for our names appearing on the guest lists. And it wasn’t like we were going to be flying there, so there would be no records of travel.

Now, the next thing that we needed to do, with the political discussions coming up, was to tell the kids that we were going to be coming and going for the next week or two until we were able to accomplish our tasks. We would do as many of them while they were at school or sleeping as we could, but it wouldn’t be possible to do them all like that. And we might be gone in the morning or the evening sometimes, but we would always be coming home the same night.

“Mom?” Reagan called out to me while I was thinking about these things during dinner. “MOM!?” He raised his voice because I was so lost in thought that I hadn’t heard him or responded. I don’t even know how many times that he called me, or what they had all been talking about.

“Are you OK, sweetheart?” Reece asked me as I shook my head and came back to my senses.

“Yeah, I am fine. I am so sorry everyone. I was just so lost in thought that I didn’t pay attention to my surroundings. I shouldn’t do that though. I need to be more present when I’m here with you guys.” I looked at the kids as they stared at me. They looked concerned, like they thought that something was wrong.

“What is the matter, Mom?” Talia asked, breaking into the subject that I knew all seven of the kids were thinking about.

“I was just thinking. It’s nothing bad, but I guess that I have been so busy lately that I am also tired. And when I started to think I just spaced out.”

“What were you thinking about, Momma?” Zander asked in a weak voice. I knew that he was scared about Reece and I leaving again.

“Well.” I tried not to worry him with my tone, but I was just about to confirm his fears. “Daddy and I need to go and talk to the people around the world. We won’t be staying away though. We are going to be visiting these people and coming back every day. We might leave early in the morning, or we might need to go at night. The other countries are all at different times than us, but I promise you that we will be home every day. You will see us every single day. I promise you that, Zander. I promise all of you that.” I looked at all the kids in turn, telling them that I meant what I was saying, and that Reece and I were not going to leave them again. Not like we had before. We were going to be here for them to see at some point during each day.

“Alright.” Zachary nodded. “I believe you.”

“We know that you have work to do, Mommy. And we won’t stop you.” Zayden’s tone was a little sad, but he kept his face even and calm.

“We will see you while you are here. If we have to miss a morning, then we have the evening. And the same goes for when you are gone at night. We will not have to miss you, because you will still be here.”

“Of course, we will.” I nodded at Zaley after she spoke.

“Hey, Mom?” Reagan called out softly. “Maybe we should allow the kids to spend more time with their friends over the next couple of weeks.” He had been part of the discussion about how long the meetings were going to take, so he knew that it was going to take a while. “If they can have sleepovers then they wouldn’t worry about you as much.”

“Ooh, yes, please Mommy?” Zaley looked excited. “I want to have Breanna stay the night.”

“And I can spend some time at Sereia’s house.” Talia added with a smile.

“Sleepovers are girly, but we can have the guys over to play video games all night.” Zander tried to hide that he wanted to have a sleepover as well. It was kind of cute to see the way that he was trying to get out of it.

“Yeah, a video game marathon, that will be cool.” Zaley nodded in agreement. “That is much better than a sleepover.”

“You do realize that it is the same thing, right?” Zayden pointed out to them. “Our friends will be staying over, and at some point, in time we will all end up sleeping. That is a sleepover. There is nothing else to call it. The video game marathon will only be a part of it. And you know that there will be snacking and other stupid stuff. I mean, come on, stop trying to pretend that it’s something that it’s not.”

“Shut up.” Zander snapped at him. “It’s not a sleepover.”

“Whatever.” Zayden shook his head at his brother. “I think it sounds fun though. Too bad we can’t invite all of our friends though.” I heard a hint of sadness in his voice then.

“Yeah. We can’t get everyone here for one big party. The humans from the city won’t be allowed here. Good thing that they don’t go to school with us.” I thought about a handful of humans that were friends with the boys from the various things that they were into. They had gotten to know a lot of them. And they had hung out with them in the city before, but they were never allowed over here. I felt bad for them, but I hoped that when all this was done, maybe that would be able to change.

“Well, I think that spending time with your friends will be a good thing. You can all start planning for when you want this to happen. Reagan and Rika will keep an eye on things along with Peter and Roisin. I will also have Lola and Nona come over, Papa and Móraí as well if you want. Then you will have Ivy and Olivia here with you as well. Would you like that, Zaley?” My little sister and Reece’s littler sister were both just a few months younger than the quads, so they had all been really close since they were little.

“Yeah, that would be great. I don’t have a lot of friends at school, so it would have just been Breanna coming over. Thanks Mom.” She looked elated at the idea of having more than one friend over at a time.

“I will help you have an amazing sleepover, Zaley.” Rika beamed at her. “I promise that I will make sure that you and the other girls will love it.”

“Really?” I saw the light shining out of Zaley’s bright blue eyes as she beamed at her sister. “Thank you, Rika.”

“Of course. What are big sisters for?”

“I will help too. I don’t have to stay with Sereia the same night that you have your party. Together we will make sure that you have the best party ever.” Talia loved her sister as well, and I knew that she wanted to make sure that the younger girls all have a really good time.

“Thank you.”

For the rest of the night, all of the kids talked about all the things that they were going to do during the party. It was a lively discussion that had them all forgetting about the fact that Reece and I were going to be leaving. It was a great distraction for them, and I was thankful for Reagan suggesting it for us. He was a great big brother, and an even greater son.

The plans seemed to be getting bigger and grander, but that was fine with me. I would make sure that the kids had what they needed before we left, and I knew that I didn’t have to worry about anything, not with all the guards and family that would be here to watch over everything.

“That was a good call by Reagan, wasn’t it?” Reece whispered in my ear as the squealing and laughter grew louder around us.

“He is a smart kid. Reminds me of someone else that I used to know. Though he is a million times nicer than that person used to be.” I laughed as I saw Reece’s eyes crinkle in laughter.

“You won’t let me live that down, will you?” He shook his head in exasperation.

“Nope. Never.” I leaned over and put my head on his shoulder. “We need to make sure that we succeed here, Reece. I need to make sure that the world is safe for all of them.”

“We will, Little Bunny. I promise.” Reece’s words vibrated with worry as I heard them ring through the space between us. There was a sense of ominousness that hung there for a moment. Underneath that though, there was a determination that I would never stop until I succeeded. I had children to protect. Seven of them, that were sitting at the table with us, and one that was inside of my belly at the moment. And on top of those eight, I had the dozens of other children that were in my life. And I refused to let them suffer because of this issue. I would protect them all no matter what. That was my responsibility, and I would see it through.
