Reece
~~
This was it. My little bunny was walking toward me. She was on her way back home. She was moving through this tunnel that connects the two screens together. I didn't know that there would be this tunnel, so that was delaying the return of my Little Bunny. But she was coming back. She had spoken to me and seen me, that was all that mattered right now. I knew that it was real. We all did. She was coming back to me. She was coming home.
I didn't really like that she was bringing her friends with her, but I had a feeling it was going to happen. I mean, that was such a Trinity thing to do. She was a bleeding heart that just had to help them. That's fine. They protected my boys so I would trust them, for now. If they tried anything with my wife though, they were going to die.
There she was. She was almost through the screen. I could almost touch her. Yes! Thank the Goddess she was finally going to be home. Or so I thought.
One minute I was standing there, staring at my Little Bunny, Zachary, Zander, Zayden and the two new friends. And the next thing that I knew, I was only looking at the two men that she brought along with her. Trinity was gone. And so were the boys. What had happened.
"Where is my Trinity? Where did she go? And the boys? Where are they? Where did they all go?"
"Calm down, King Reece." One of the men, the younger looking one, tried to calm me down. "Queen Trinity returned with us. You know that."
"Then where is she? Where is my wife? What happened to her?"
"She came back. Just like she was supposed to do." The other man, the taller one, tried to explain to me but I wasn't having any of their excuses.
"If she came back, then where is she? What did you do with her? Where is my Little Bunny?"
"Oh, shut up Fido. Your barking is getting a little annoying."
I heard her. I could hear my Little Bunny. But I couldn't see her. Why hadn't she gone through the screen with them. Where did she end up? What was happening?
"Trinity? Where are you? What's going on?" I was looking at the screen still, frantic for her to respond, but at that moment, the screen started to disappear. "No, the screen can't disappear. My Little Bunny isn't here yet. No!"
"I am in the room with you, dumbass. Did you think I would magically appear before you? My body was over here in the bed. What did you think was going to happen? Seriously. Now get over here and hug me, you stupid dog."
I turned around and searched the other side of the room. I was looking into the bed and waiting to see some sort of life from my wife.
"Trinity?" I was moving as I called out for her.
"I'm here, Reece. I just can't move. So come here and hug me." I did as she asked me to. I ran to her side and threw my arms around her.
"Trinity. Little Bunny. I missed you so much." Her warmth was back. Her body felt alive again. She may not be able to move at the moment, but she was still in there, and I could tell. My wolf could tell. "Oh Goddess, Little Bunny, I am so happy you're back. Thank you. Thank you for coming home to me."
"I didn't leave because I wanted to, Reece. I didn't have a choice. I was trapped in that world, and I just couldn't get back. I needed to take care of some things. But it wasn't a quick process." My Little Bunny was sounding so sad at that moment.
I was looking down at my Little Bunny. She was laying on the bed and talking to me. Her eyes were open for the first time in months. She had lost more weight in her face, but her belly was steadily growing. She was, in all honesty, quite huge with the babies. Still, no matter what changes she had been through, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. And I would never want or need anyone else.
"I know you had to do what you did. I know that it was important and necessary. We all knew that, Trinity. And yet, we all missed you so much. The kids were having such a hard time." I was honest with her. There was no reason to lie to her right now.
"Speaking of kids, as you saw we're having more." She giggled at me. "I didn't even know that I was pregnant. And the fact that we hadn't slept together since, well, just after your birthday, I would guess that I am like a third of the way through my pregnancy."
"Try more than halfway. And that's considering halfway for a normal pregnancy. Griffin is trying to figure out how long he can keep the babies inside so that you don't have them too early."
"Yeah, Trin, it's almost the end of October already. You're actually almost four months along, that would be two thirds of the way."
"WHAT!?" She nearly screamed at her brother's words. "What about Glory and Daci? They're still pregnant right? I didn't miss out on more of my family coming into this world did I?" My Little Bunny was so blown away to find out that she had been asleep for so long. I don't blame her though. It would be hard for anyone to handle in a moment like this.
"They're still pregnant. You didn't miss anything Trinity." Valerian reassured her. "And I am so happy that you are home. We missed you, Trinity. All of us did. I am so glad to have you home."
"Thank you, Athair mòr. But why are you here? Did something happen?"
"No, sweetheart. Reece called all of your family and friends here. Everyone that cares about you and was missing you. That way they would be here to welcome you home."
"Yeah, and we're going to have to let them know that she woke up soon. I am glad she did too. The time stopped moving so fast now. It's back to normal." Noah was looking at his phone.
"Yeah, but we were still in that rapid time thing for like a week. It's even closer to the end of the month than I thought." Trevor noted.
"Holy shit, we were in there for that long?" I just couldn't believe what I had just heard. A fucking week?!
"Yeah, but it only felt like about three hours to us. By my math, that would be like one minute was equal to one second. Time was literally moving at sixty times the speed."
"Holy shit, Trevor. You can do math?" I blurted that out before I could even stop myself. Before I knew it, everyone, including my Little Bunny's new friends were laughing at him.
"Shut the fuck up, FiFi. I'm smarter than you are, asshole. You're a dick, you know that. A fucking dick."
"I'm sorry. I just said it without thinking." I was still laughing. Everyone was.. It was the first thing that was able to break the tension in the room.
