Trident Kings

Chapter 16

Diana woke up and tensed, she wasn't in the clinic anymore. She was in a bedroom, in a canopy bed no less. She slowly sat up and looked around some more. There was an ocean theme to the room and the window was a bay window with a window seat she could see herself curled up in it with a book in her lap getting lost in the stories.

She slowly got out of the bed and her feet touched soft plush carpet. She slowly made her way to the bathroom and gasped at the breathtaking room. The tub was deep and vanity already had all her makeup and everything she could think of laying out on it, brand new unopened. She spotted another door on the other side of the bathroom and she gasped when she opened it. There was a fully stocked closet with brand new clothes, tags still on them and more shoes than she new what to do with. Converse and Vans in all her favorite colors along with various boots.

"Oh, there you are Mi Amor." She turned to see all three standing in the bathroom. "Like it?" Gabriel asked and she looked around shocked.

"Why?" She asked confused.

"Because we're keeping you safe Sweetheart," John smiled, "and staying with us is the safest place you can be right now."

"Come on Luv," Jason smirked as he held out his hand, "breakfast is ready, you can get dressed after you eat something."

She nodded and gently placed her hand in his, "Yes Sir."

"Good girl," Jason smiled as he led her out of the closet. "Just so you know we are taking the day off from work. We are staying home so there is no reason for you to get ready for work."

"Yes Sir," She nodded as she sat at the table.

"Eat Sweetheart," John said as he sat a plate of food down in front of her.

"Yes Sir," She nodded and picked up her fork.

"You don't have to eat all of it, Mi Amor," Gabriel said as he sat her drink down in front of her. "Just eat what you can."

"Yes Sir," She mumbled softly.

"You need to take these medicines Sweetheart," John said as he held out a couple of pills. She nodded and took them and he smiled. "Thank you for being such a good girl Sweetheart." She nodded and took a drink of her juice.

"I'm full," she pushed her plate away and Jason picked it up.

"Go rest, Luv," he nodded, "or get dressed, whatever you want to do."

She stood there confused and Gabriel smiled softly, "Why don't you go get dressed into some relaxing comfy clothes. We got some books while we were setting up your room, how about you go check them out after you get dressed, Mi Amor?"

"Okay," she nodded and headed to her room. "Um..."

"It's the room you said didn't qualify for a library yet," Gabriel chuckled and she nodded then took off for the room. They heard her gasp in surprise and smiled, go figure she would check out the room before getting dressed. They just hoped she liked it. The room was lined with bookcases and Henry and his men had managed to find the old pictures the leaders took of her apartment from previous visits to see what books she had. They had managed to find 90% of the book and filled the bookcases as well as the books she had just bought previously. Henry even got recommendations on other books and got full collections of series that she only had partials of. Guessing from the small squeals and gasps they thought she may like their new library but wouldn't be sure until they checked on her later.

Once she was out of earshot John groaned as he leaned against the counter, "I'm glad she isn't arguing about her meds or being here but still..."

"Just give her time," Jason said as he loaded the dishwasher. "Remember what Doc said. She has to start to feel safe enough to start voicing her opinions. She will get there eventually."

"I just wonder if we need to over control her life right now and see if she will start to push back," Gabriel suggested but Jason shook his head.

"Not right now. Let's give her a week or two of just how we are right now to help her ease into being here then we can start to push her limits and test how confident she is feeling. This will be new to all of us and her as well, especially since we no longer have to really hide who we are. There's been a ton of changes for her to adjust to, so we need to take it easy and tread lightly before we push her. If we push too soon, she may withdrawal into herself even more."

"Fine," Gabriel sighed. "But you know I'm not very patient."

"None of us," John shrugged, "But with her we will be."
