Chapter 600 - 17- Reece – A Break From All The Work (VOLUME 4)

Reece

My Little Bunny had been back to the crazy and hectic days again. She was always trying to do too much. Over the last few years, she was always trying to take everything onto her shoulders and do everything by herself. I really don't know why she insisted on doing it all herself instead of asking me or Vincent, or even Gabriel for help.

Things have been getting so much worse for her lately too. For some reason, ever since Gloriana and Valerian, along with the others, came to visit she has been so much worse. It's like something is troubling her, but I can't really tell what it is yet.

And to top it all off, she is so exhausted. Something that has really been bothering me lately. All I could smell on her was that exhaustion. She reeked of it. And I didn't want to sound rude or cruel by pointing it out to her.

She didn't just smell tired either. It was easy to just look at her and see that she was tired. There were dark circles under her eyes, bags even. There were lines where there never used to be. Her expression just looked drawn and worn out.

Dammit! Why couldn't I make things better for my Little Bunny? She is my whole world. Her and my children. I would do anything for her, but I didn't know what to do for her right now. All I wanted to do was make everything better for her. How could I do that, though?

The only thing that I could think of, was to drag her away from work and make her participate with the family more. She loves the kids, and they love her. I know how much happiness they bring her and how much she loves spending time with them too. I mean, she was still forcing into her schedule for the nightly bedtime stories to them, on top of all the other work she was doing. That told me that if it was something to do with the kids, then I just might be able to drag her away.

That was why I had scheduled this whole family day for us. I wanted to take the kids to the mall to shop for something special. School was starting soon. Reagan and Rika were going into second grade and Talia was about to start preschool. It was a big time of year for our family.

"Come on, Mommy. It's time for us to leave." Talia ran into Little Bunny's office with so much enthusiasm it was almost like I set off a firework in there.

"Go? Go where?" My Little Bunny was so exhausted and tired, but I could still see that she had a smile on her face for her little girl.

"We're going out, Mommy." Rika grinned and followed after her sister. This chapter is updated by ɴovelFɪre.net

"Yeah, come on Momma. Let's get going." Reagan was the last one that I needed to send. I was still standing at the door leading into the room and watching them all with a smile on my face. If all three of them came to her for a day out, then there was no way that she would turn them down.

"I..I admit I didn't know that we were leaving at all. Where are we going?" I watched as she stuttered a little and floundered about, trying to figure out what was going on.

"We're going for a family day. Come on, Mommy." Talia took her hand and gave her one of those shy and innocent smiles. It was bound to work.

At that moment, my Little Bunny lifted her head and looked at me with confusion on her face.

"Come on, Trinity. I know you're busy with your queenly duties, but the kids and I want to spend time with you. So, take a break and come out with us." OK, I might be trying to rely on my winning smile and perfect charm as well. I would use all the tools that I had in my arsenal just to drag my wife away from work.

OK, that might sound a little wrong here, but she just worked too much. All day, every single day. I needed to try and put an end to it at some time. I needed to help keep her healthy and sane, or whatever it was that she is supposed to be. Maybe working all the time is sane to some people, but I knew that it was destroying my wife.

"Alright." She sighed before looking back at me and shaking her head, knowing that I had won this round made me feel immensely happy. "Let me at least get changed and get ready for the day. I don't even know where we're going."

The kids took my Little Bunny's hands then and helped to speed her along her way. They pulled her to her feet and then out of the room. As a family we all went upstairs to help mommy pick out her clothes for the day. I wanted this to be as casual as it possibly could, but that wasn't possible with all of us.

As I watched my family happily pick through clothes, I thought about how much work went into us going out as a family. OK, Trinity and I could go out no problem without it becoming something too major.

Yeah, we were considered celebrities and all that, even among the humans. Even so, the two of us could manage it no problem. The kids though, I didn't want anything to happen to them. So, we usually brought the 'entourage' with us. There were at least four bodyguards whenever we went out as a family. And when pressed about it by people, I would tell them it was all for my family and their protection.

All I wanted was a little bit of family fun out and about with everyone. It was simple, in theory. But the actual execution of this day involved a lot of people working in tandem for us. I hope that didn't make my Little Bunny start to think too much about her work and then that, in turn, makes her regret coming with us.

Dammit, I just can't stop my mind from thinking about these unpleasant things.

It wasn't going to make me change my mind about today, though. I needed to get my Little Bunny out of this damn castle and into the land of the living. I needed to have her see that there are actually people out there that exist and that life outside of her office hadn't disappeared completely.

Ok, I might be exaggerating just a little bit, but could anyone blame me? I have been seeing this pattern form for a long time and it was starting to scare me. I just wanted to have my family together again.

I just wish that something, anything, would happen to force her to stay away from work and be with the rest of us. I just wish that there was something I could do to keep her out of the office for a little while.

Please, Trinity, Little Bunny, help me find something to help you.. Help me to help you.
