Chapter 336 - Trinity - A Weekend Trip To Visit The Fae (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

Reece had made a point of saying that we shouldn't wait too long before going to visit the Fae Queen. Queen Gloriana had told Acacia and Cedar that she wanted to meet me since I was a fellow queen and the Luna to her niece's husband. I hoped that it would be a peaceful visit.

When I told Reece that I wanted to go ahead with the visit halfway through September he was a little less than happy. He agreed to it still, but he wished that I had given him a little more notice.

I called Acacia over and asked her to take me to visit Queen Gloriana. She was elated and excited. She had actually just gotten back not that long ago from visiting them when she had taken our friend Star to meet her Fae side of the family. Apparently, Queen Gloriana had mentioned me at that visit, asking when she was going to get to meet me.

"This is going to be amazing. I will call Queen Gloriana right away. I will have her set up a whole banquet for you." Acacia was about to waddle out of the room excitedly.

"Wait, I don't need a baquet." I called out to her to stop her from making this into something bigger than it should have been.

"Trinity, you know you're a good friend, and I love you and all, but you need to learn how and when you need to act like a queen." Acacia looked as if she were scolding me.

Acacia was right that we were friends now. We had gotten close over the last few months since she had mated with and married Cedar. I had been a little sad when I learned that they got married while I was gone in France, but then I learned that Queen Gloriana insisted on it. So I had no reason to object or be angry anymore. Not to mention that she was currently pregnant with Cedar's triplets.

There really were a lot of babies on their way here. Counting my twins, Juniper's twins, Shawn's and Dietrich's sets of twins, Ella's twins, Acacia's triplets, Carter's baby, David's baby, and Shane's baby there were currently sixteen babies on the way. Add to that the fact that Noah and Nikki just had recently had their baby that made a lot of little ones that were going to be so close in age. I couldn't wait to have all the babies play together when they were older.

Moving on from that though, I had to think about what it was she was saying. I was a queen, that was true. The thing was, I didn't know how to act like a queen. I wasn't raised with the idea of being royalty. I didn't know what to do.

"Casey, I don't know what to do. How am I supposed to act like a queen?" She looked at me like she was a little confused. She had grown up around royalty so to her it was all normal, but for me it was all new.

"Hmm, I think the best thing for you to think of is being a strict Luna. That might be the closest. You shouldn't be so friendly with everyone. New people and non friends should be kept at arm's length. There is nothing wrong with being friendly when you can be, but just try to be a little more regal at times."

"That's easier said than done." I cradled my head in my hands and sighed.

"Just watch Queen Gloriana and be about twenty-five percent as regal as she is."

"Only twenty-five percent, huh?" I laughed at her suggestion.

"Well, she has been a queen for two thousand years. It's hard to reach the level that she is at in such a short timeframe."

"Yeah, especially considering that I have been a queen for about six months." I groaned as I leaned back in my chair. "You know, I never asked for any of this. I never wanted to be the Luna, and I didn't want to be a queen two times over. But, now I have no choice but to live with it. Sometimes, things go way differently than you planned, and it's not always bad. I wouldn't change my life for anything."

"That's good. That is a very good approach to take. Now you just need to keep working on everything and you will be the best queen ever. Next to Queen Gloriana that is." I laughed at her response. Queen Gloriana was her aunt after all, I would never be better than her in Casey's eyes.

Casey set everything up and we were now scheduled to leave on Thursday. We would be gone for the weekend, returning most likely on Sunday night. It was going to be a bit of a whirlwind trip.

Casey and Cedar were both coming with us to the Fae compound, Casey was the guide and Cedar as a guard. The other guards coming with us were Vincent, Shane, David, Izzy, and Thoma. Gabriel was coming as well as my assistant.

Per the guidance that Casey had given me I had decided that for the most part we should all dress the part. By that I meant that Reece would dress sharply in his best suits and I would look beautiful and regal in the dresses that Reece had been buying me just because.

Gabriel always looked the part of an assistant with his crisp suits and a butler like attitude. The guards were going to look like they were some movie idea of a CIA detail to the president mixed with bouncers from a nightclub. They were all wearing black, and black, and black. Black shirts, black pants, black shoes, even black sunglasses. It was literally too much and it almost made me laugh just seeing them. Still, they had to act the part of my security detail.

I also thought it was a little funny that I was this all powerful Queen with magic and that at my disposal but I couldn't even leave my house to go shopping without half the pack behind me as babysitters. It was kind of annoying.

When we actually left the estate to make the two hour drive to the Fae compound we were in a limo. Most of the guards were spread out between two of the black SUVs that Reece had bought before. Vincent, Cedar, Acacia, and Gabriel were riding with me and Reece.

There was one SUV in front of the limo and one behind it. It was like a small motorcade with no police escorts. Though, we could have had one of those too, if we wanted. Rawlynne, Jackson, Devon, Andrew, we had our fair share of cops that would do that for us if we ever wanted or needed it.

Hell, to complete the motorcade look there were even small flags with little trinity symbols on them adorning the limo. It was actually too much but I couldn't say anything about it because I knew that I needed to act like I was an important person.

While I rode in the car, nervously, I held Reece's hand. The babies could obviously feel my nerves since they were being a little more active than usual. I felt them flopping around and pushing against my belly harder than I ever had before.

"Ngh." I grunted a little when the babies seemed to be doing a conga line or something.

"Is something wrong, Trinity?" Gabriel was the first to react to the sound I had made.

"No, it's just the babies are active right now."

"Oh, I know how you feel, my trio never likes to sit still. It's like when one is asleep the other two are awake and playing. I bet that's how they're going to be after they're born too."

"Hahah." I laughed at her, she probably had it worse than I did. She was even a little over two weeks further along than I was. "Yeah, it's like they are never in agreement, huh?" I was still laughing.

For the rest of the trip to the Fae compound Casey and I talked about all the troubles we were having with our babies. We also shared the joys we were having and the happiness we knew we would be experiencing when the babies were here.

In the background I could see Reece and Cedar talking about the worries they both had. Oddly enough it was like they both worried more for their mate than anything. They were both excited to be dads. I was also glad to see that they were getting along. There was a time when Cedar hated Reece. It lessened over time, but it was definitely bad when I first met Reece. I'm glad it was all good now.

During this whole time I saw that Vincent was watching us all with a smile on his face. He was the only one among us that already had kids. I guess he was remembering back before his first had been born and the joy and nerves he and Heather had been experiencing.
