SEARCHING FOR A MATE - Season 8 Episode 84

Trinity

Almost as soon as Griffin said ‘let’s go deliver some babies’, The bed that I was laying in was wheeled out of the room and taken to another place on the same floor, but it was somewhere that I had never seen or been to before.

This room was definitely an operating room. That was easy to tell. There were sterile white walls, an antiseptic scent to the air, and it was very cold. There was a table in the middle of the room with little platforms sticking out to the side. Without anyone having to tell me, I knew that my arms were going to be strapped to those little things.

There were little wheeled trays that were around the area as well. I knew that underneath the blue cloth on each of them, were the tools that Griffin was going to use to deliver my babies. There were also three little wheeled bassinets, each with a nurse standing nearby. They were the ones that were going to be caring for my boys when they were born.

There were also two men and three women waiting for me in the room. They were the anesthesiologist and nurses that were going to be helping with the cesarean section. Griffin had told Reece and I in advance that the only people that were going to be helping us today, were not human. They were all people that we could trust and didn’t have to worry. Even the nurse that brought me along with Griffin was not human.

However, Griffin had left me momentarily so that he could scrub in and get ready. Or whatever it was that he needed to do.

“Welcome, Queen Trinity. We are so happy to be here with you today. If it is alright with you, we would like to get you prepped for surgery. My name is Dr. Razi, and this here is my nurse anesthetist, May.” The man that spoke had dark hair and eyes with a tanned complexion. He spoke with a slight accent, but it didn’t hinder him at all. May, on the other hand, was tall with medium length auburn hair and bright green eyes. She looked and smelled like she was a wolf. She also looked like she was as happy as she could be just by being in this room with me.

“It is such an honor to be here with you and assisting you today, Queen Trinity. I cannot even begin to express to you what this feels like.”

“Do not worry about that, May. I am just glad that I have someone like you here with me right now. I need trustworthy and reliable people to help me out.”

“Thank you.” May nodded her head and then the woman next to her started to speak.

“Hello there, Queen Trinity. I am Helen, the lead nurse assigned to you and your babies. Allow me to introduce you to the rest of the nurses here. These, here, are Hannah, Olivia and Emery. They will be assisting during the delivery. Over there we have William, Reba and Jan, they will be the ones that help to clean up the babies, weight and measure them, and get them ready to be brought to you in your recovery room. After you have spent a few minutes in that recovery room, you will be returned to the room that you were in before.”

“Thank you for that information, Helen, and for all of you being here with me today.” I tried to take them all in, but their names were blending at the moment. I was having a contraction so I was a little preoccupied. I remembered the names, but not who they went to. And their appearances of similarly colored brown and blonde hair and light colored eyes all around made things a little more difficult to separate them all.

“I can see that you are in pain, Queen Trinity. Let us get you over here on the table so that we can give you the spinal block. We don’t want you suffering anymore at all.” Dr. Razi was the one to speak next, he prompted the other nurses in the room to move and help me get to the table.

They got me onto the table in the room by pushing that bed that I was in next to it and then pulling me over. Once I was settled onto that spot, they pushed the bed away and started to work fast.

The first thing that they did when I was on the operating table was pull me up into a sitting position. They turned me to the side, let my leg dangle off, and told me to lean forward as much as I could.

“I need you to try and hang your knees, Queen Trinity. We need you to stretch out your spine as much as you can.” Dr. Razi was explaining things to me as they helped to position my body. I had two nurses in front of me that were helping to position me and another behind me, pushing my back and helping to get me into the best position possible for the needle to enter my back. “Alright, Queen Trinity, I am going to give you a numbing shot first and then I will begin. You will feel a little bit cold when the iodine is applied as well. Do not be alarmed.”

True to his word, there was a cold jolt from him applying the fluid and then there was a small prick from the need. I felt that there was a numbness spreading through my back almost immediately.

“Alright, Queen Trinity, I am going to be starting now. I need you to stay completely still and don’t move at all. OK? This will just take a few moments.”

Dr. Razi was doing his best to keep things moving quickly and efficiently. I was very pleased with him so far. Unfortunately though, the numbing that he had given me didn’t make the feeling go completely away when he stuck the next much larger needle into my spine. This one felt like it was going in way more than I expected it would and I was scared for a moment. However, it only lasted for a few moments like he said and then it was like there wasn’t even anything in my back at all.

“Alright, Queen Trinity, that is it. We are done. We’re going to lay you back on the table now and you will feel the numbness spreading through your body. It will be like a warmness moving from just below your arms to the tips of your toes. Let me know when you have felt it spread all the way through you.”

“Will do.” I nodded as the three nurses worked in tandem to lay me all the way back on the table.

This was the first time that I had laid all the way back since I woke up from my time in the underworld. I didn’t like laying all the way down with how big my belly was getting. It was a bit uncomfortable for me to lay like this.

However, it wasn’t that uncomfortable now. Instead, the pain and discomfort were going away as they laid me down. There was already that warmth spreading throughout my body and relaxing me a little bit. The only complaint I had at the moment was that as they were strapping me down onto the table, I felt like everything was moving upwards and that was making it a little uncomfortable to breathe.

“I can tell by that look in your eyes, Queen Trinity, that it’s uncomfortable. Don’t worry, it will all be over very soon. I promise you that.” May was doing her best to calm me down.

“There are a few things that we still need to do for you, Queen Trinity, and then you will be set to deliver. Dr. White will be here soon and then we may begin.” Helen, the lead nurse, explained to me as she started to get to work. This here is some added oxygen for you, to keep your breathing easy and regular throughout the procedure. You have heart monitors that are being added to your chest.” As she said that, the hospital gown that I was wearing was fully stripped off of me and two heated sheets were laid across my abdomen. “And lastly, Queen Trinity, we will be putting a foley in for you. This is to drain your bladder while you are unable to get up and use the restroom yourself.”

I was really glad that I was numb for that part of the procedure. I did not want to feel what that was like. Just the thought of it made me want to cringe. I mean, EWW. There was a tube going up into my bladder through my pee hole. That was disgusting and painful.

“Alright, Queen Trinity, everything is all set. We are ready to begin as soon as the doctor gets here.” Helen called out to me.

“How is the numbness?” Dr. Razi asked me with a calm voice.

“I can’t feel anything from my chest down.” I assured him. “It’s like a magic that I never knew existed.” I laughed at my joke and everyone around me laughed as well.

“Ooh, it sounds like a party here.” Griffin said as he came into the room. I turned to see him and saw that Reece was there with him.

“Reece.” I reached out with just my fingers since my arms were locked into place on those little boards. The moment that I did that, the nurses put a screen up just below my neck. It blocked out my view of my belly. I wouldn’t be able to see what was going on.
