Chapter 383 - Trinity - Gabriel’s Findings (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

I got the pictures from Paul, their babies had been born. Rowan and Ilana were here and doing great. Rowan was just under six pounds and was nineteen inches long, Ilana was five and a half pounds and eighteen inches long.

I went the day after they were born to see them. I left Reece at home with the babies and went with Cedar to see Juniper at the hospital. I couldn't stay long since I needed to get home for the babies. I was going to start pumping today so that I could store milk for feedings later in the day. It would also allow Reece to feed the babies and bond with them too.

While I was at the hospital though, I hugged and congratulated Juniper and Paul. They had made two beautiful babies, and I knew they were going to be a happy family. We also made plans to get together for Christmas or New Years, whenever it is that Juniper was feeling up to it.

That made me think about the fact that we were going to have our first Christmas with the babies soon. It was just eight days away, and I hadn't gotten anything for them. I needed to leave earlier now and stop at the store. I know they were too young for gifts so I just wanted to get a special Christmas ornament for them. Something to commemorate their first Christmas with us.

I found some that were perfect. Baby's first ornaments in the shape of snowflakes that were made of crystal and stained pink and blue. There was also one that said our first Christmans and had a place for a photo. I bought that one too. I wanted to get a family picture taken soon and put it in there.

When I got home, I decided to hide the presents from Reece; he could be the one to open them for the twins on Christmas. I think that would make him happy, to open the first present that our babies would ever receive. They were easy to wrap as well, all I needed to do was put them into a few gift bags and then put them under the tree with everything else.

I was making more of an effort not to hole myself up in just the one part of the house. I was trying to live in the house with Reagan, Rika, and Reece and not live in our rooms. So, when I was done with the gifts, I went upstairs to get the babies with Reece. We went to the living room where we usually sat as a family, and that was where I nursed the babies. This was our family home, and we were wolves. We were supposed to have no shame, or that was what Reece had told me when suggesting that I breastfeed in the other parts of the house.

I was worried about the staff at first, but then I thought about how most of them are like family anyway, so I got over that really quick. Even Vincent, who was guarding me today, didn't seem to be embarrassed by the fact that I was nursing out in the open. Then again, he had his fourth kid on the way and probably saw it as normal by now.

I was just getting started with Reagan when Gabriel came in, asking if he could speak to me.

"Queen Trinity, I have important information for you." He knelt in front of me and put a hand against his chest. This was a formal meeting that he wanted. And to think, Reagan just latched on.

"You can rise and speak, Gabriel." I instructed him.

"Thank you, my lady." He stood and finally saw what it was that I was actually doing. "Oh, would you like me to come back?"

"It's fine Gabriel, just tell me the information that you have." I smiled and looked at him while the baby in my arms continued his meal.

"W..w..w..well, I..I..I uhm, are you sure you don't want me to come back, my lady?" Gabriel wasn't looking at me. This was the reaction that I thought most of the house was going to have to me feeding my babies in the open.

"Is there a problem, Gabriel? Does the Queen feeding the Prince make you uncomfortable?" Vincent eyed the man and spoke in a matter of fact tone.

"No, no it's not a problem. It's...it's just life. Natural." I could tell when I first met Gabriel he was not used to a lot of things in the world, but they still breastfed babies back when he was a young man, he should remember that. Was he getting used to this new life and somehow was becoming embarrassed because he wanted a mate himself? I would have to look into that more later.

"If there is no problem, then deliver the information that you have for the Luna Queen. She is waiting for you." Vincent sounded stern, like he was ordering the man to do his job, which I guess he was.

"Alright." Gabriel took a deep breath to settle himself before he continued. "As I told you that I would, I have been researching your family history. You wanted to know why there might have been issues during the pregnancy. I am sorry that it took this long to report my findings; there were a few people in your family tree that I was unable to find proper information on. I have looked as far as I could but the trails stop dead. I am truly sorry, my Queen." He hung his head like he was ashamed of himself.

"That's fine, Gabriel, just tell me what you know for now."

"As you wish."

I watched as Gabriel pulled out a leather bound journal. He flipped it open to a certain page and started to read. I searched for your father's family as much as I could. He was indeed born Gannon Cornelius Edmond in the year fifteen hundred and seventy-one. His parents, Mathilda and Bayard were a witch and a warlock. Their official records were difficult to find as they immigrated from Europe, which was actually where your father was born. They were killed during the Salem witch trials; Bayard was probably the only man executed during that time, and they were perhaps the only true witch and warlock that were put to death during the trials."

He flipped a page and started to read again. He seemed to have taken thorough notes on this subject.

"Mathilda Edmond was originally Mathilda Harrow; she was born from Agnes Harrow, formerly Greene, and Boris Harrow. Boris was a warlock, but Agnes was human. Boris, however, was born from two human parents, Chandler and Genevieve. That was as far back as I could go on his side. Agnes's parents were Lennox and Isabel Greene."

Another turn of the page, another deep breath as he prepared himself to read again. I had shifted Reagan to my shoulder so that I could burp him and then hand him off to be changed, so I could nurse Rika.

"Bayard Edmond was born to Caius and Joan Edmond. Joan was originally Joan Lester, and she was a witch. Caius, however, was human. His parents were Rory and Ellen Lester, that too was as far back as I could find for now. Joan Lester was born Joan Young, her parents Turner and Alice were both human."

"So, I have great grandparents that just mysteriously became a witch and a warlock for no reason? How does that happen?"

"I am still investigating. I do not plan to give up until we can answer that question, my lady."

"Ok, thank you, Gabriel. I appreciate you looking into this for me. I know that it must not have been easy to locate all of these old records and to trace these bloodlines back hundreds of years. You have done an amazing job."

I handed Reagan off to Vincent so that he could take him to Reece upstairs. Reece would change him and then put him down for a nap. Vincent also handed me Rika so that I could nurse her now. Just as Vincent was leaving the room, Gabriel started to speak again.

"I have more information, Luna." I had been busy getting Rika situated so I wasn't paying much attention. I didn't notice the serious tone in his voice, and I didn't see the look he was giving me.

"Yes, go right ahead." I told him.

"This information is perhaps even more important than what I have already told you, my lady." I noticed the seriousness this time so I looked up and saw that he was giving me an intense look.

"What other information could it be? What else did you look into?"

"I researched both sides of your family, my lady. And in doing so I found something that you truly need to know."
