“What happened to my sister?” Noah asked as he ran through the door behind me.
“I’ve run every test that I can without bigger equipment.” Griffin was in the room with Vincent. It was just the two of them, Roisin, and my Little Bunny.
“And? What have you learned?” I was already kneeling at my wife’s side and taking her hand into my own.
My Little Bunny’s hand was warm and soft to the touch. It wasn’t like she was sick at all. To me it looked like she was just sleeping.
“There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with her. I have found absolutely nothing wrong with her so far.” Griffin looked like he was at his wits end as he answered me.
“I don’t know what to say or how to explain this to either of you, but Griffin is right. There seems to be nothing wrong with Riviana right now, but she simply will not wake up.” Vincent looked like he hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep last night. He seemed like he was going to try and stay by my wife’s side until she woke up. What he didn’t understand, though, was that that was my job. I was going to be sitting with her until she woke up.
“Who all knows?” I asked Vincent, certain that he was the one that would be able to answer that right now.
“Just us. No one else knows what is going on. I told them all that Riviana was just resting because of the strain she has been under.” That was good. So far no one else knew what was going on.
“And the kids? What do they think is wrong with their mom?”
“The same. They think that their mom is just sleeping.” Vincent had done good while I was away. He had handled everything perfectly.
“Good. Thank you, Vincent. And you as well, Griffin.”
“Here, Joaquin, I printed these for you.” Griffin handed me a series of ultrasound photos before he headed toward the door. “Get some rest. I need some rest as well, we all do. I will come back later and check on Riviana.”
With that Griffin left the room and so did Vincent and Noah. It was now just me and my Little Bunny in the room. I was alone with her and the babies that were growing in her belly. The babies that I could see in those pictures. They definitely were a lot bigger than I thought they would be by now.. These three little babies that would be here before I knew it.
Joaquin 鈥?Why Little Bunny?

I was just sitting there next to my Little Bunny while I held her hand in mine. I couldn’t believe what was happening. Should I have insisted that she see Griffin? Should I have called up Juniper to see if she could have helped my wife? What could I have done to prevent this from happening? What was I supposed to do now? And how long was she going to be like this?
I couldn’t answer those questions and that was what hurt the most.
“Why didn’t you talk to me, Riviana? Why didn’t you tell me about all of this? Why didn’t you tell me that you were pregnant? How come you kept all of this a secret from me?” I felt the tears building in the back of my eyes, but I forced them away. I wasn’t going to cry, not yet. I wouldn’t show that weakness when there were other people coming in soon.
“I’ll be here, waiting for you, Riviana, so wake up soon. We have a lot to talk about. And I don’t think you actually want Griffin to run all those tests on you. He will have you in so many medical machines that it isn’t even funny. And I know that you don’t want anyone else to find out what is going on with you. So, come on, don’t do this, don’t stay asleep. It’s time to wake up. You’ve been asleep for a long time already. If you’re still tired you can take another nap later, but I think it’s time to wake up now. Please, Riviana, wake up. Please, baby.”
The tears that I had been trying so hard to fight off finally started to roll down my cheeks. I couldn’t fight them anymore. I just wanted my Little Bunny to wake up. I just wanted to see her eyes open up and to know that she was OK.
“I love you, baby. I love you so much, Riviana. Please don’t leave me here like this. I need you. I can’t live without you. You know that, don’t you?”
I kicked off my shoes and climbed into the bed with my Little Bunny. I snuggled up to her side and pulled her against me. Maybe she just needed to be close to me. Maybe she couldn’t wake up because we hadn’t been close for so long.
OK, that probably wasn’t it, but I could hope, right? I would do anything that I could to wake her up, and this was just the first part of it. Not to mention, it comforted me to hold her like this.
Riviana 鈥?Exploring The World Of Gray

Riviana

OK, was this supposed to be some play on our last name or something? I was in my castle that was named after us, Castle Gray, and everything in it was gray. Even I was gray. It seriously looked like I was inside of some TV show that had aired back in the fifties and sixties. There was no color at all.
What the hell was going on here? What was that door? Where am I? And where the hell did those damn little imps go? They were the reason that I had come to this door in the first place.
Then again, the way that voice spoke after I stopped following it made it clear that I shouldn’t have been following it either. So, basically, I guess I did something really stupid and followed two evil things out of my room.
OK, I didn’t follow the imps out of my room, but I did abandon the voice because of those adorable little imps.
NO, they are not cute. They were little devils. I don’t care how much they looked like children at the end of it all, they were imps. They were definitely not identical boys that were just running around and showing me the way to this trap.
And I don’t even want to think about the fact that those little children, I mean imps, looked like Joaquin. That was impossible. They couldn’t have looked like Joaquin at all. That would mean that I suspect Joaquin of doing something to me, right? I mean, why else would I imagine those little childlike figures with features that reminded me of my husband?
No, I needed to put those thoughts out of my head. They weren’t good for me at all. I needed to forget all about that for right now so I could start to find my way out of here. If I didn’t find a door out of here, then I was going to be stuck in this place for way too long.
I stopped thinking about the voice and the imps. I stopped thinking anything that didn’t have to do with getting out of here and getting back home. Though, I will admit one thing. While here, I haven’t felt as tired as I was before. I don’t feel quite as exhausted anymore.
Our castle was huge, so it was going to take me forever to search it and find out where to go next. Oh well, I would do what I needed to do. I was going to get out of here and go home before Joaquin got home.
