Trinity

~~

So, Reece and I went up to the bedroom with our seven kids. That was a crazy thought. Seven kids. I had known for a week now that we now had seven kids, but it was still hard for me to think about. I mean, who would have thought that I was going to have this many kids, and all before I turned twenty-eight years old.

In fact, it was just a few short weeks until I was going to be having my birthday. And that meant that this year was going to be the ten year anniversary of when Reece and I met. So much time had passed and so many things had happened over this last decade that it was hard to believe that it had only been that short amount of time. And on top of that, it had passed so quickly that at times I felt like it had only been a year or two. It was definitely insane when I thought about it.

Once Reece and I were in our bedroom on the top floor of the tower, we set the babies in their bassinets that had been brought into the room. They were lined up in a row and the babies’ names had been put onto them so that we would know which bed belonged to which baby.

Reece and I were already used to their scents but, just in case, we were leaving the bracelets on the boys for a little while so that we would be able to tell them apart. And well, so other people could tell them apart. Reagan, Rika and Talia would only be able to tell Zaley apart from Zachary, Zander and Zayden. She looked completely different from them so that one was easy.

…..

“Mommy, the babies are so cute.” Talia had leapt up onto the bed and was staring at them with sparkling eyes.

“Yeah, they are so cute, Momma.” Reagan hugged me as he watched them. “And I am so happy that all of you are home with us. We missed you, Momma.” He was already getting so tall. He didn’t have to reach up all that far to kiss me on my cheek. He had only just turned eight a little over a month ago. Why was he such a big, tall, strong man already? Well, I guess he took after his daddy.

“I will help you all the time, Mom. I promise you. When I am not in school, I will be here helping you take care of all the babies. I will feed them, I will change their diapers, I will burp them, I will help with all of it.” Rika, the loving little girl that she was, hugged me from the opposite side than her brother. She was shorter than him, obviously taking after me more than her dad when it came to height. But aside from that, she was the spitting image of Reece. Same hair, same eyes, she was his for sure. Talia was the one that took after me the most out of the three older kids. And, of course, Zaley was similar to me, but she was a full on carbon copy of Edmond.

“I appreciate the offer, Rika sweetheart. However, you need to focus on you. You need to do what makes you happy and you need to focus on school.”

“But this will make me happy, Mom. I know it will. And I will still do all my activities and my homework. I promise. I won’t miss out on any of it. I just want to be there for you and the babies. I want to spend more time with you.” She looked desperate, like she didn’t want me to tell her that she couldn’t help me.

“You can help me anytime you want, Rika. As long as you still do things for yourself. Promise me that you will still make sure that you learn everything that you can. You have a big future ahead of you and I want you to have all the opportunities that you can get.” Her face lit up then. It was like being allowed to be here to help me and her dad was the true key to her happiness. I had to wonder then and there how I got lucky enough to be blessed with these wonderful kids.

We worked as a family after that. Reece and I gave Talia a bath in our room while Reagan and Rika went to their rooms to take showers in their own private bathrooms. After they were all ready for the night, the three of them helped us to feed, burp, and change the babies so that they were ready for bed as well. Then Reece and I put Talia to bed in her room and read her a story. Reagan and Rika didn’t want a story, but they accepted us singing to them before they went to bed as well.

That night went pretty smoothly, all things considered. Reece and I needed to work together to get the babies fed and back to sleep, but that wasn’t that hard. Since I was pumping and then bottle feeding them all. I noticed that, like the twins, the quads tended to drink faster when they used a bottle. They needed to be burped more, but it made the feeding time a lot quicker. Quicker was better when there were four of them.

We were woken up about every three hours by the babies, less frequently than I would have thought but it was better in my opinion. That meant that we only needed to be woken twice before it was morning. The third time that we were awoken by their cries, it was time for us to be up for the day. I felt like we already had a pretty good routine down for our large family.

Over the next week or so, Reece and I got better at what we were doing. Reece went back to work, but only part time. He was going to be home with us and working from there more often than not. He would only be going to the office three days a week and not for a long time either. He told me he wanted to be there for all of us. However, I thought that he might just not want to leave me alone for long. He was still afraid that I was going to disappear.

Mom and Lila were there to help me a lot, but they were both pregnant now. Lila was further along than Mom was, and she was due in April. Mom wasn’t due until June. They were going to be close to each other, but at least the one that was supposed to be a generation higher was going to be older. I mean, my new aunt was going to be two months older than my new sister.

I think that both Mom and Lila were excited about their babies. Even though they had grandchildren that were between newborn and eight years old, they were excited to be having their own again.

When I saw Dad and Grandfather over the last several days, they both seemed happy, excited and very nervous. I think that the two of them were afraid to have kids when they were nearing sixty and over eighty years old. They may seem old to humans, but we had been immortal for a little while now, and because of that they didn’t have to worry about the age when having kids like this.

Things were pretty smooth sailing in my opinion. Our family was happy and healthy. I was able to handle the babies, but I always had a little bit of help around me. Mom, Lila, Juniper, May, Ella, Roisin and all the others.

The babies, even by the time that they were just three weeks old, were already visibly bigger. Zachary, Zander, and Zayden were already close to five and a half pounds and Zaley was five pounds. They had gotten taller and heavier, but they were still a lot smaller than the other babies were.

I knew that they would catch up, so I wasn’t worried about it at all. They had room to grow now, and they were getting plenty to eat. They were always such good babies too, rarely crying and always watching you with eyes that were curious. I know it was too early for that to be the case, but it was true. They were special, all four of them were.

Rika had also done as she promised she would. She came into the nursery with me every day after school and helped to take care of them. She was a pro at changing their diapers, but I had a feeling that wouldn’t last as the babies got older and started to wiggle a lot more. Reagan joined her often and was there to feed and hold his siblings. Talia wanted to help, but more often than not, she would get distracted very easily.

I loved this. I loved that my family was all here. They were all happy. They were all healthy. And things seemed to be so peaceful. I would do whatever I could to make sure that they stayed this way. I would protect them, but I would do it without leaving them alone.

This, this was the calm and quiet that we all needed. This was the life that I needed to promote to my people. Peace, love, family, and of course kindness. I felt like if I could only show them this life of mine, they would all be so much happier. There would be no need for war or violence. Just peace.
