Tracy POV
Zane has been the sweetest guy ever if he isn’t hunting with me then he is running me bubble baths and candle lit dinners. (Even though he is the only one eating)
I have no idea what to do with myself, so I decided to go for a long walk and just clear my head. Zane is the perfect guy, so why am I holding back? Why am I still afraid?
‘okay, maybe taking a walk and clearing my head wasn’t such a good idea.’ I scoffed at myself.
I have never felt this way about someone in my life and I don’t think I will ever find someone like him again. There are precautions to take so that I don’t get pregnant, but there is always a risk.
I walked back to the pack house and found Deliah standing alone outside looking lost and sad.
She didn’t look like her normal self, she somehow looked more flushed.
I walked up to her and she was still speaking when I saw water running down her leg, at first I thought her bladder failed her, but the way she was breathing and the horror on her face told me she is in labour.
Jeff came running towards us with a bed and helped Deliah get on. We don’t know what happened because she screamed and pushed after Jeff told her not to, but I guess these boys wants to come out now.
Jeff started walking faster and I was right there holding Deliah’s hand.
Seeing the pain Deliah is going through is giving me more of a reason to hold onto my virtue for just a while longer.
Deliah was squeezing my hand so hard it started turning white. I tried pulling it out of her grip, but it only tightened.
“you did this to me.” She said and looked at Jeff who is trying to work as fast as he can.
“I’m sorry baby, just don’t push okay.” Jeff said and finished setting up the machines.
Deliah’s face scrunched up in pain , “I think she is ready to push again.” I said to Jeff and saw him looking horrified. “I don’t know how to do this. I mean I am a doctor, but it’s like I just forgot all my years of training and studying.” He said and blew out a long breath.
“just get them out of me.” Deliah said and now she is growing impatient.
“okay, when you feel another contraction I want you to push.” Jeff said.
Deliah gripped my hand and screamed so loud that Zane came running in and left again immediately.
“I can see the head.” Jeff said and smiled at Deliah.
“wipe that smile of your face, because the work is not done, and you can forget about getting anything from me.” Deliah said and screamed again.
The door opened up and Chrystal came in looking as though she is in pain.
“I’m sorry I’m late.” Chrystal said and stood at the other side of Deliah, rubbing her forehead and soothing her hair back. “you came, that is what matters.” Deliah said and gave a final push falling back with her head and breathing loudly.
It wasn’t even ten second and then she started pushing again. I left her side to take the baby from Jeff so he can get to the other one.
Holding the baby in my arms everything else just sort of faded away and all that existed was him and me. At that moment I couldn’t think of anything else than having my own little bundle of joy.
I wrapped him in a blanket and looked into his green eyes, he has Jeff’s eyes so green they almost look blue and he will have dark hair and sharp features too.
Deliah gave one final push and it was all over. Both boys are out and healthy. I gave the one I was holding to Deliah and took the other baby, wrapping him in a blanket and looking down at him. He has golden brown eyes like Deliah and very soft features.
They will be the perfect replicas of Deliah and Jeff.
And they will have so much love. I looked at Jeff and he was staring at me not saying anything. He walked closer to me and wiped his thumb over my cheek and I could feel the wetness. I didn’t even realise I was crying. I handed him the baby and excused myself from the room. When I looked up I saw Zanian and Zane together with Lilly and Kyle and a phew other wolves.
Zane looked at me and walked up to me with open arms. I fell into his arms and just let out my sadness.
“hey, what is wrong?” Zane asked and I tried answering him, but everything just came out like a sob.
He put his arm around my shoulder and walked me out of the hospital and away from everyone.
We paused outside and he looked at me, “hey, are you okay?”
I looked at him and wiped my tears, taking a deep breath I said. “I was just holding them and all I wanted was babies of my own. My whole life I have dreamt about having a family of my own and being loved. And now seeing Deliah and Christy make me envious of them, but I know that the timing now is terrible, but I want babies and a lot of them, but only when it is safe and we know what is happening.”
“we will have babies, however many you want and they will be loved, and you are loved. Our world and our lives will not be this upside down forever.”
Zane said and kissed my forehead. I feel so loved and wanted that I almost have everything I want.
Chrystal POV
I have never seen a more beautiful picture moment than the moment Deliah held her babies, One in each arm with Jeff sitting beside her. I rubbed my belly and I can’t wait until I can hold my babies. I looked at Deliah and Jeff knowing that this is how Zanian and I will look like to them.
Standing there I feel so out of place so I decided to open the door and let everyone see that Deliah and the babies are okay and they are healthy.
Zanian came in and he had so much love in his eyes that I almost started crying. He kissed me before he went to Deliah’s side congratulating them and looking at the babies. He looked up at me and winked.
I can’t help but think about Spike and what he said. How did he know what the girls names would be? And what is he? Where does he come from?
I have so many questions for him and no answers to them. Zanian looks preoccupied with the babies so I decided to step out for a second.
‘what are we ganna do?’ I asked myself, because nothing has been brought up, no decisions has been made and no one talks about what happened.
Zanian found out he is the lost prince and future king, and he is treating it like it is no big deal. I found out my mother was killed in cold blood and I’m still not sure how to feel about that, my father literally died of a broken soul, and here I am waiting for the day my babies are born.
I was so lost in thought I didn’t hear anyone coming up to me until someone touched my leg.
I looked down and saw Spike, he was looking at me and I didn’t know what emotion was behind his eyes, but I could tell he looks sad, or worried.
“what are you doing here Spike? Someone could see you.” He looked at me and smiled so wide that all his pointy teeth are on display.
“I just had to see if you are okay.” He said and shrugged his shoulder.
“how old are you Spike?” I asked before I could stop myself and I didn’t know why I asked, but when I saw his reaction I had to know the answer.
“how about you tell me something?” he said and came to stand in front of me.
“sure, what is it?” I asked and decided to play along.
“have you ever seen your own eyes?” Spike asked and for a reason I was confused because why would he ask something like that and why so specific?
“no I haven’t, why?” I asked with a raised brow.
“I’ve read that when a fox stares into her own eyes her true personality is revealed and her true motives comes forth. And they cannot lie to themselves.”
I stared at Spike and listened, Zanian did say he has a lot of knowledge. I looked at him and took a closer look. Everything about him has been explained except for his skin, I reached my hand out and touched his skin, it’s cold and it almost feels like stone, no not stone… marble.
“where have I read about Marble skin before?’ I asked myself and tried to remember.
I looked at him again and then it all fell into place, in school when we were learning about the war between Vampires and Wolves, the vampires had a weapon, one that could see the future, but what were they called?’ I racked my brain and tried thinking of the name, I snapped my head up and said, “you lied about what you are.” I said to Spike and he let his head fall.
“I know, and I will keep lying because you and me we weren’t that different. We shared the same fate and I am the only one of my kind left.” Spike said and he looked so sad, I didn’t know it was possible, but even his ears dropped.
“why would you lie about who you are?” I asked him and lifted his face so he can look at me.
“the same reason your father hid who you are.” Spike said and I couldn’t argue with him anymore. I lost every question I had for him except one, “how old are you Spike?”
He looked at me and said, you wouldn’t believe me, but I am a thousand years old. My family was one of the first families that gave their services to the royals.”
I gasped and covered my mouth. My mind went blank and I couldn’t think of anything else.
“please, you cannot tell anyone. Not even Zanian he will know when the time is right.” Spike said and started walking away. I couldn’t believe that a gargoyle still lives, and that I actually met him. Who knew that things will turn out like this?
“here you are, I was looking for you everywhere.” Zanian said as he came up from behind me. I looked over at him feeling as though i missed something.
“what is going on?” I asked him and just received a weird smile from him.
“well, since you weren’t there, Deliah named the babies and Jeff got upset because why can the babies not have his middle name, So Deliah asked him what his middle name is. He literally chased everyone out just to tell her his middle name and the way she laughed made all of us laugh that was standing in the hallway. When Jeff came out he didn’t look angry but he wasn’t friendly either. He just looked at us and went back into the room.
We still don’t know what his middle name is, but I doubt Deliah will use it or repeat it.”
Zanian said, and I could feel his laughter trough the mate bond and I could imagine Deliah getting a laughter attack.
“I love you so much.” I said to Zanian and he looked at me as if he is trying to stare into my soul.
He sat down next to me and said, “well in a phew days my love will have to be devided into three, but for the time being you have all my love.”
Zanian sat with me until the sun went down and you could hear the crickets and frogs and all the other small things.
‘my life is perfect… for now.”
