Chapter 781: Chapter 198- Trinity – In The Hospital (VOLUME 4)
~~
Trinity
~~
This time when we went to the hospital, Reece was going to make registration come up to us. He wasn’t going to let some annoying bitch say things about us while we were registering again. And that also made it so that he didn’t have to threaten to murder anyone as they tried to take me up the stairs. Instead, he just carried me the whole way like he had to the car. He had a change of clothes in my bag as well so that was just fine.
He took me right upstairs and asked the nurse in the labor and delivery ward what room that Griffin had prepared for us. They knew that we were coming and there was a flurry of movement the moment they saw Reece get off of the elevator. Some of these nurses were the same as when I had Talia and one of them was even here when I had Reagan and Rika. She definitely remembered the sexy Mr. Gray that was very devoted to his wife.
“Come this way, Mr. Gray.” The nurse that was here the very first time said as she rose to her feet. I was betting that she didn’t want to miss out on taking care of me because she didn’t want to miss out on seeing Reece as much as possible. “Did you stop by registration yet?” She asked him since they hadn’t gotten a call when we came up.
“Nope, they just get in the way. Have them come up here to me.”

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh. Y..yes, right away Mr. Gray.” There he was with his grumpy attitude. However, it worked. The nurse walked to the wall phone and called down to someone who I could tell was in a panic. The person from registration was in the room within two minutes. I would call that magic if you asked me.
“Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Gray. And might I wish you a very merry Christmas.” A younger man came running into the room with several papers in hand. “We were called in advance by your doctor, so everything is all ready to go. We just need your signatures. He told us that there was no change in information so we already checked you in. Please, sign here Mr. Gray and you’re all set.” The man was definitely nervous and scared of Reece, but he was also being very nice and respectful.
“This is very efficient of you. Thank you for being ready for us.” Reece was actually happy right now.
“Of course. Anything for the Gray family.” He nodded as he took the signed papers and fled the room.
Moments later, nurses came into the room to help me strip the clothes off of my body and get me hooked up to the machines. It’s funny, people were stripping me, but Reece wasn’t upset about it at all. That was just not like him at all.
In a matter of moments, I was in nothing but a hospital gown with several nurses putting sensors on my belly at once.
“Triplets are not that common here at the hospital. It happens from time to time but it’s still rare. And it is definitely exciting.” I could tell that the nurse that spoke was giddy with excitement.
“Well, it’s my first set of triplets too.” I laughed with her. “So, it’s rare for me too.” That made them all laugh.
“You have identical boys coming right? That’s what the doctor said.
“Yes, Dr. White said that you were a high priority case and that you were to be well taken care of.” They were all acting like they were taking care of the most important person in the world, and it was all Griffin’s fault. I noticed that Reece was nodding like he agreed completely. Ugh. I hope this stay isn’t going to be overly bad.
It took the ladies a while to get those uncomfortable bands wrapped around my belly, partly because my belly was so big. Once they found the position of all the hearts that they were looking for, it was time for me to get my IVs and other lovely little party favors. They were going to make sure that this was a full service affair. No stone, or in this case, body part, was left undisturbed here.
I swear that it took nearly an hour to get me fully set into the hospital. The entire time that the nurses were getting me ready, I could see Reece and Griffin talking in the back of the private room. Those two conspiratorial little buttheads. They were the ones that were putting me through this unnecessary torture. The boys weren’t even coming today. I knew that. They weren’t coming for a few more days at the very least.
“Hello, Trinity.” Griffin said the moment that the nurses left me alone. Now it was time for him to examine me and make sure that everything was doing OK.
“Hello torturer.. Oh, I mean, hello Griffin.” I smiled at him sweetly as I joked playfully with him.
“This isn’t torture, this is concern. Your husband and I are worried about you and the babies. Let us do what we need to do.”
“Oh, yes Master Griffin Sir. I am so sorry that I thought I was more than a baby machine.” That made us all laugh, I just couldn’t keep a straight face through it.
“You’re having triplets, Trinity. That is definitely a baby machine.” Yeah, Griffin was full of jokes too I see.
“Come on, let me check you out and make sure that there is nothing that we need to be concerned about.”
“Go right ahead. I already know that there is nothing. The boys aren’t coming yet. It was only a Braxton Hicks contraction and nothing more. I know how it feels, third time here, remember?”
“Yes, Trinity, I remember. But Reece and I are still worried about you. We don’t want to risk you going into labor at home when I am not there.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah, yeah. I know.” I really did. They were just a couple of worrywarts that were paranoid about everything to do with me. I couldn’t fault them for loving and caring about me. I really couldn’t.
However, I can jokingly show my annoyance because this was a big pain in my ass. They were running my Christmas. They’re lucky that I said goodbye to the kids and that the day was almost over. If they had done this at the start of the day, then I would have been very angry with them both. I was not going to miss Christmas with my children. I would murder them for that. No one was going to make me miss that with them.
“Alright Trinity, just relax now.” Griffin told me as he started to feel my belly for any changes. He was checking the read out on the monitor that told him what my contractions were like. The frequency and the duration, things like that. They were sporadic and only in the belly, so I knew that they weren’t the real thing. And I knew that Griffin was seeing the same thing at this very moment.
After he confirmed the contractions, he checked my cervix. That was something that Reece has had to get used to over the years. I needed to be checked before I could deliver the babies. Even if Griffin was planning on these boys being delivered through a cesarean section because they were all facing different directions. He still needed to know how far along my supposed labor really was.
The only thing is, Griffin was finding that I wasn’t in labor at all. And soon, he would be admitting that to me. I was even watching his face to the best of my ability, which wasn’t easy with such a big pregnant belly stuck up in the way. Still, I did my best and I was able to see the moment of realization.
“Well, the good news, Trinity, is that you are not in active labor. The contractions are weak and sporadic, most likely just Braxton’s like you said. Your cervix is at a three, but with how close you are and the fact that you are having triplets, that is to be expected. Still, with even that slight amount of progression it is best that we go ahead and keep you here until you deliver. Which in truth, that could be as soon as tomorrow. This is necessary for us all.” I know that he was just doing what he thought was best for me. That was why I did my best to refrain from sticking my tongue out at him and then going ‘ha ha I told you so’. That wouldn’t have been very nice for the man that was a really good friend of mine and was just trying to help.
“I know, Griffin. It’s getting so close to their due date. Just eleven more days and I have reached the actual day they were due. Did you ever think that I could keep them inside this long?” I made the joke and instantly regretted it. Noᴠel Fɪre.net
“With your track record, hell no. I expected them to be born so early that it wasn’t even funny. Then again, it wouldn’t have been funny at all. But you know what I mean.” He laughed off his bad joke and I just pouted.
“You all act like these things have been intentional or that they’re my fault. That isn’t fair.”
“Yeah, I know, Little Bunny.” Reece leaned in to kiss my forehead. “Don’t worry, I don’t blame you. But I am going to make you listen to all the doctor’s orders.” He grinned and then went to pull a chair closer.
