“That’s right, Talia. Mommy has your baby brothers in there. You used to be in there and so did Reagan and Rika. Now it’s time for the triplets.”
“I am happy I am going to be a big sister. But isn’t it hurting Mommy to be growing the babies?”
“Nope. She will be fine.” I smiled and rubbed the belly in question. “Hello, boys.” I leaned over the belly then, spoke to the babies, and kissed my Little Bunny’s rounded tummy.
“Can I kiss them too?” Talia asked me so I nodded and held her up so that she was able to kiss the babies. “I can’t wait to meet them. Mommy and them are together right now. I want to be with them too. I want to be with Mommy. I want to hug Mommy and have her hug me back.”
I don’t know about the others in the room, but those words broke my heart. They made me want to cry. They made me want to crumble to the floor and hug my little girl for the rest of the day. To hug her and Reagan and Rika until my Little Bunny woke up and could hug them.
I couldn’t do that, though. I couldn’t be that weak. I couldn’t be that emotional. If I started that, then everyone around me would lose their will to go on as well. At least, that was what I kept telling myself. That was what I thought it would be like.
“We all want Mommy to wake up, sweetheart. And we know that she will soon. And for now, you will be able to help us. You can show us Mommy. That way, we will know what she is doing and that she is OK. I am sure of it.”
“Yeah. I want to help everyone. I want to help them see Mommy, but I am being kind of selfish too, Daddy, because I want to see Mommy. I want to do this because I want to see and because I want to help people.”
“That’s OK, sweetheart. It’s OK to be selfish sometimes.” I rubbed her back and comforted her as best as I could.
“OK, Daddy.” She nodded at me before hopping out of my arms and moving to stand across the room. “CharChar, ChloChlo, I think it’s time to get to work.” She called out to them, almost like she was a mom or a teacher, and she was getting her children to do what they needed to.
“Yes, Princess Talia.” Charlie bowed his head with a smile for her.
“I agree, Princess Talia.” Chloe did the same, mirroring her brother.
I didn’t know how Talia, Charlie, and Chloe were planning on opening up a portal to allow us to see my Little Bunny. I didn’t know if the portal would work, or what it would be capable of. I didn’t know anything about it, but I was very excited about it nonetheless.
I wanted them to succeed. I wanted them to accomplish their goals and give us all this special treat. But no matter what I wanted from it, all I could do was stand here and watch. Well, I guess I could sit instead. And that was exactly what I did. I sat on the bed next to my Little Bunny and held her hand in mine as I watched little Talia and her friends.
Talia, standing in front of the wall that was between my bed and the hospital bed that we had brought in for Riviana, held her hands up in front of her. I don’t know how she knew what to do here, how she knew the proper way to use magic, but she did. I could see that clear as day as my sweet little Talia started to glow with the power coursing through her.
Talia wasn’t the only one glowing either. Charlie and Chloe were as well. The three of them, standing before the wall, were glowing with different colors. Charlie had his white light, the same from before. Chloe also had her same color, dark purple that was as close to black as you could get a magical light. And my little Talia was standing there surrounded by a pink light. That was the same light that had given the twins their human and bear forms. The light that had healed them.
While the three of them glowed, they grabbed each other’s hands. Once the three of them were making physical contact, the lights started to swirl together. The white, purple and pink lights all flowing together, but not actually mixing together.
Right now, I didn’t know if I should be in awe of the lights, or laugh at the way that the three of them looked together. The really tall Charlie and Chloe were standing on either side of my little Talia. She was so much shorter than they were that they needed to stoop over and crouch just to reach her hands. It was funny, really it was, but the lights were so beautiful.
“I am going to try to find Mommy now.” Talia called out with her eyes closed. This was going to be the big part. The major thing that we were all here for. I looked around me and saw that everyone was staring at Talia with their eyes opened wide and their breaths bated. They were nervous but excited as well. This was major. This was something that we all wanted to see work. If this failed, if this didn’t let us see my Little Bunny, then we were all stuck waiting with and not knowing anything.
‘Please, Goddess, please let my little Talia do this. Please let her find my Little Bunny..’ I gave a silent prayer as I waited.

“Let me see you, Mommy.” Talia said in a whispered voice. It was almost too quiet for me to hear even though the room was silent, and I was not that far from her. “Let me find you so that I can see you again. Come back to me, Mommy. Come back to all of us. Daddy misses you. Reagan misses you. Rika misses you. And I miss you too, Mommy.” Talia said the words that we all knew already. Words that we all didn’t want to say but we felt the power of every single minute of every single day that my Little Bunny was gone.
After those words I just watched my little girl and her two companions.
With her eyes closed and her head tilted back, Talia was putting her all into this magic that she was trying to do. I wasn’t a warlock or anything of the such, but even I could feel the sheer amount of magical power that was pouring out of her at the moment. It almost felt overwhelming, like there was too much power for anyone to contain. However, I refused to stop looking at her. I refused to miss even a second of this whole process that was happening before me.
And I was so glad that I had refused to look away at all. If I had looked away for even a second, I might have missed the fact that my little Talia was floating. I mean she was literally floating off of the floor and in between the twins that had been standing on either side of her.
Charlie and Chloe were still holding her hands, so I didn’t have to worry about her floating up too high or anything. But still, that was not something that I was prepared to see. I had not been ready to see my four year old little girl do so much magic that she was floating in the room in front of me. How had she even managed to do that?
“My name is Talia Serene Gray, I am the daughter of Riviana Faith Gray. I am the daughter of the Goddess. I am the daughter of the Queen. I am the daughter of the Luna. I am the daughter of the most powerful woman that I know. And I seek help from the spirits to help me find my mother. I seek help from those in the underworld to guide my magic on a path straight to my mother and three brothers that are with her. I call on those that are friends, as well as those that are neutral. If you hold no ill will or malice toward my family, please help me to find my mother, the Goddess of the Shifters, the Goddess of the Magic Users and the Goddess of the Fae. Please help me see where she is and what she is doing. Please aid me in my quest to find her. Please help to reunite our family. I only ask that you have sympathy for me and my family. Help me. Please.”
Was it just me, or was Talia speaking a lot more clear and using more mature language than she had ever used before? I mean, It had to just be me right? It wasn’t really that my little girl had just suddenly started to speak like she was a teenager or adult. It was all in my imagination, right?
“Joaquin, when did Talia start talking like that?” Trevor came sidling up to me where I was sitting on the bed and whispered to me. He wasn’t the only one either.
“Joaquin, son, when did Talia start acting like this?” Mom’s eyes were wide as she looked at her youngest granddaughter.
“I’ve never heard of a four year old that was able to talk like this.” Valerian couldn’t take his eyes off of Talia as she floated in the air.
“Uhm, Joaquin, should we be worried?” Juniper whispered to me next. “This is like some next level horror movie stuff, right? What if her head starts spinning and she starts to spew pea soup all over the room? Or what if the whole house started to shake and monsters and ghosts started crawling out of the woodwork? Are we ready for something like that to happen?”
“I never thought this would happen.” I told them, rising from my seat so that I could see my little girl better. “But you know what, this just shows how powerful she is. She’s strong, just like Riviana. She is going to be an even more special girl when she is older. More special than she already is right now.”
Like the rest of them, I was nervous about seeing this happen right in front of me. I was afraid that I was not going to be able to keep up with her or my Little Bunny as time went on. However, I would never look at Talia or Riviana like there was anything wrong with them. Talia, like her mother, was very special.
Why were the others afraid? Why were they scared of this magic? I wasn’t scared of it. This was magic that my little girl was using out of love for her mother and the rest of us. She was a sweet, innocent little girl. And we were all here to keep her safe. There was nothing to be afraid of.
“Thank you all. Thank you for the help.” Talia’s voice was calm and steady as she thanked people that none of us could see. “Yes. Please. Show me the way. Show me where they are. Guide me to them.”
