By the time that the whole group of us made it to the top floor of the tower, to the room that I shared with my Little Bunny, they were all pumped up and excited about what Talia was trying to do. They wanted to see Trinity, but I think that they also wanted to see if Talia could actually do what she had said she was going to do.
I had faith in my little girl though. I had faith that she was just as special as she thought that she was, and I was going to be right there to support her every step of the way. And even if she couldn't accomplish this task right now, I would stand by her side and support her until she tried again. That's what it means to support your children and be there for them. No matter what they wanted to try, to be there for them every step of the way. As long as it didn't hurt them or anyone else, that is.
The first thing that I did when we all went into the room, with Talia still in my arms, was walk over to my Little Bunny's side in the hospital bed. I set Talia on the edge of that bed and leaned over to kiss my wife's cheek. Talia also leaned forward and kissed her mommy's cheek.
"Daddy, Mommy's belly is getting big." She said to me as she pointed at the roundness that was her younger brothers.
"That's right, Talia. Mommy has your baby brothers in there. You used to be in there and so did Reagan and Rika. Now it's time for the triplets."
"I am happy I am going to be a big sister. But isn't it hurting Mommy to be growing the babies?"
"Nope. She will be fine." I smiled and rubbed the belly in question. "Hello, boys." I leaned over the belly then, spoke to the babies, and kissed my Little Bunny's rounded tummy.
"Can I kiss them too?" Talia asked me so I nodded and held her up so that she was able to kiss the babies. "I can't wait to meet them. Mommy and them are together right now. I want to be with them too. I want to be with Mommy. I want to hug Mommy and have her hug me back."
I don't know about the others in the room, but those words broke my heart. They made me want to cry. They made me want to crumble to the floor and hug my little girl for the rest of the day. To hug her and Reagan and Rika until my Little Bunny woke up and could hug them.
I couldn't do that, though. I couldn't be that weak. I couldn't be that emotional. If I started that, then everyone around me would lose their will to go on as well. At least, that was what I kept telling myself. That was what I thought it would be like.
"We all want Mommy to wake up, sweetheart. And we know that she will soon. And for now, you will be able to help us. You can show us Mommy. That way, we will know what she is doing and that she is OK. I am sure of it."
"Yeah. I want to help everyone. I want to help them see Mommy, but I am being kind of selfish too, Daddy, because I want to see Mommy. I want to do this because I want to see and because I want to help people."
"That's OK, sweetheart. It's OK to be selfish sometimes." I rubbed her back and comforted her as best as I could.
"OK, Daddy." She nodded at me before hopping out of my arms and moving to stand across the room. "CharChar, ChloChlo, I think it's time to get to work." She called out to them, almost like she was a mom or a teacher, and she was getting her children to do what they needed to.
"Yes, Princess Talia." Charlie bowed his head with a smile for her.
"I agree, Princess Talia." Chloe did the same, mirroring her brother.
I didn't know how Talia, Charlie, and Chloe were planning on opening up a portal to allow us to see my Little Bunny. I didn't know if the portal would work, or what it would be capable of. I didn't know anything about it, but I was very excited about it nonetheless.
I wanted them to succeed. I wanted them to accomplish their goals and give us all this special treat. But no matter what I wanted from it, all I could do was stand here and watch. Well, I guess I could sit instead. And that was exactly what I did. I sat on the bed next to my Little Bunny and held her hand in mine as I watched little Talia and her friends.
Talia, standing in front of the wall that was between my bed and the hospital bed that we had brought in for Trinity, held her hands up in front of her. I don't know how she knew what to do here, how she knew the proper way to use magic, but she did. I could see that clear as day as my sweet little Talia started to glow with the power coursing through her.
Talia wasn't the only one glowing either. Charlie and Chloe were as well. The three of them, standing before the wall, were glowing with different colors. Charlie had his white light, the same from before. Chloe also had her same color, dark purple that was as close to black as you could get a magical light. And my little Talia was standing there surrounded by a pink light. That was the same light that had given the twins their human and bear forms. The light that had healed them.
While the three of them glowed, they grabbed each other's hands. Once the three of them were making physical contact, the lights started to swirl together. The white, purple and pink lights all flowing together, but not actually mixing together.
Right now, I didn't know if I should be in awe of the lights, or laugh at the way that the three of them looked together. The really tall Charlie and Chloe were standing on either side of my little Talia. She was so much shorter than they were that they needed to stoop over and crouch just to reach her hands. It was funny, really it was, but the lights were so beautiful.
"I am going to try to find Mommy now." Talia called out with her eyes closed. This was going to be the big part. The major thing that we were all here for. I looked around me and saw that everyone was staring at Talia with their eyes opened wide and their breaths bated. They were nervous but excited as well. This was major. This was something that we all wanted to see work. If this failed, if this didn't let us see my Little Bunny, then we were all stuck waiting with and not knowing anything.
'Please, Goddess, please let my little Talia do this. Please let her find my Little Bunny.' I gave a silent prayer as I waited.
