Trinity

~~

It wasn’t long after the kids left that I felt tired enough to go to sleep. It had been a long day with the kids, and I was exhausted. Being this pregnant with the three of them bursting with seemingly endless energy, it just made me tired when I looked at them.

I had Reece adjust the pillows and the bed so that I could lay down a little more comfortably. He did so without complaint and kissed me on the cheek before turning on a movie for him to watch.

I thought that I would go to sleep almost immediately, but I didn’t. I think that I was a little too distracted by the movie that Reece was watching. It was an action comedy that had the both of us laughing. The movie was entertaining enough, so I didn’t really mind that I wasn’t asleep yet. I just wanted to see how the movie ended.

During the movie, I started to get some pains in my belly. At first, I thought that I was just laying in a bad position on the bed. However, the pain didn’t go away. I even had Reece readjust me a couple of different times. And each time that he did, I could see the concern and worry in his eyes.

.....

He and I were thinking along the same lines. Was this going to be it? Was this going to be baby day? I think it was. It felt like it was anyway.

“Reece, I think you should go get one of the nurses. We might be seeing some action tonight.” He laughed at my words but was already hurrying out of the room. I could hear him calling to the nurse that was on duty.

“Excuse me, can you come check on my wife, please? I think she might be having some real contractions.”

“Yes, Mr. Gray. I will come right away.”

Reece came back into the room then and I saw the excitement on his face. He was just as anxious to meet the babies as the kids were.

“You’re only like five days off from your due date, so I think that this might really be it.” Reece was nodding at me and all the while I could see the nerves getting the better of him. Happy and excited or not, Reece was going to be Reece. He was going to be worried and scared on the inside until it was all over and me and the boys were safe. Especially this time since I was going to have surgery to bring the babies into the world.

About two minutes after Reece went to call on the nurse, she came into the room with a smile on her face.

“Hello, Mrs. Gray. How are you feeling this evening?” She was asking me this question while she washed and dried her hands. “Having some contractions?” She asked as she reached for a pair of gloves.

“Mostly pain, but I think my belly is stretched so much that I am able to feel the contractions now.” I made a joke. I could feel it, it’s just that it hadn’t gotten that bad yet.

“Alright, well, allow me to check on you and we will see what’s going on here.”

She came over and checked my cervix the same way that Griffin would do. The smile on her face told me that there had obviously been a lot of changes since the last time that I was checked. She didn’t say anything yet though, she just threw the gloves away, washed her hands again, and then checked the readouts on the monitors.

“You are definitely having some mild contractions. You are also fully effaced and about six centimeters dilated. I do believe that we need to call in Dr. White. He’s going to want to get these babies here as soon as possible. Congratulations.” She was smiling at me so sweetly. I think she was just excited to see the triplets since they didn’t get them all that often.

“Thank you. I am looking forward to seeing them. Since I have managed to keep them inside this long, I know that they will be just fine.” She nodded at me when she heard that.

“Oh yes, we are all so shocked that you managed to go almost full term with triplets. That is unheard of. You’re a very strong momma, that is for sure.”

Now that I was supposedly in active labor, there was a nurse in the room almost constantly. They were going to make sure that nothing bad happened to me while we waited for Griffin to get here. They were just as paranoid as Reece and Griffin were.

It had been about eleven when I had Reece call for the nurse. The movie was almost over too, but I missed the ending. I would have to watch it again. That wasn’t my point though. Not at all. My point here was that by the time the nurse was done checking me and then called Griffin, it was so close to midnight that it had already been. And by the time that Griffin had actually got here, it was just after twelve in the morning. It was officially New Year’s Day. My babies were going to be new year’s babies.

“Reece!” I called out to him.

“What?!” I think that I scared him when I yelled his name. “What is it? Is something wrong? Are you in pain? Is there something the matter with the babies?” He was panic stricken when he looked over at me just then.

“No, nothing is wrong. It’s just after midnight and we didn’t kiss. We’ve kissed every year at midnight since we met. You owe me a late New Year’s kiss.”

“Oh hell, Trinity. Is that all?” He laughed at me as he came closer. “Don’t give me a heart attack like that. I swear. I thought something was wrong and I was about freak the fuck out. But yes, baby, I will give you your kiss.”

He came over to me then and cupped my cheek as I laid in the bed. He brought his face closer to me in a very slow and sensual way. It reminded me of the first time that we shared a New Year’s kiss. He had been so sweet and romantic that night. It was one of my favorite memories of him. And I was sure that it was always going to be one of my favorite memories.

“Hey Trinity, sorry it took me so long to get here. I was finishing up another delivery.” Griffin was acting like it had taken him several hours to get here instead of just the half an hour that it really was. And I guess he was already here at the hospital if he was busy with another delivery.

“It’s fine, Griffin. You’re good. I have been patiently waiting for you.” I was still smiling happily and wasn’t at all upset. I guess that wasn’t exactly normal when someone was in labor with triplets. I didn’t mind though, this was all going to be over very soon.

“I am glad to see you’re in good spirits.” He walked over to us and sat next to me on the bed. “Let me check you and the readouts so that we can get this all going.

“Sure thing.”

Was I perhaps too calm and too happy right now? I didn’t know for sure, but I did know that I wasn’t feeling anxious or anything at all. This was the day. This was when the babies were going to be born. That was what my gut was telling me. I just knew for a fact that they were going to be perfect and healthy. And of course I couldn’t wait to hold them.

Griffin did what he needed to do. He was checking the readouts first before anything else. Then it was time for him to check my cervix. And if the excitement on his face was anything to go off of, I would say that I was pretty far into this process.

“Oh yeah, we need to do this really quick. If we wait any longer you will be going crazy and screaming for those pain meds.” He made the joke that he probably did with all the other mothers.

“Oh, I think that I could hold out a little longer. Though I want to get this done and over with soon. This has been a long process for us all.” I made it sound like I had been through nine months of this since it started. That was for the benefit of the nurse that was in the room.

“Yeah, I know about that, Trinity. Now, I am going to explain what is going to happen from here, OK. You are going to be taken to the OR and they are going to give you some meds in your IV as well as in your back. The meds are so you don’t feel us cutting into you and getting those babies out of there for you.”

“Sounds good to me.” I grinned at him. “The sooner, the better. Let’s get those three out of my belly and into my arms.”

“You got it. OK, now, Reece, you are going to follow that lovely nurse over there and she will take you to get cleaned up and changed so that you can be in the OR with us. Are you ready for this? You’re not going to pass out on us, are you?”

“I’ll try not to, Griff.” He laughed as Griffin referenced when I was delivering Reagan and Rika. Reece almost left the room three times during the delivery and Griffin made fun of him for that for a long time.

“Alright, let’s go deliver some babies.”
