-Evelyn-
Selene was eight months pregnant with the twins, it was barely two weeks ago it had been Kain's ninth birthday, and due to Selene's pregnancy she couldn't do much with him, it was Kahn and Duncan who took him out for the day with Rick to do guy stuff for a while. Marcus like most males was becoming very over protective of Selene, he got worse by the day and fussed over her something bad, she was not to lift a finger to do anything, he was at her beck and call for everything except leave her alone.
Marcus had even been very snappy at Kain, that upset Selene, since Kain was not his son, he was edgy and abrupt, poor Kain had to keep being kindly reminded by the other males Marcus did not mean it personally.
But Kain's jealousy rose, but he seemed to have a right to, Selene was his mother after all, and to him Marcus seemed to be hogging her.
Selene lay in bed after once again basking in the sun, and decided to sit in bed watch a movie and spend some time with Kain. She wasn't big for movies, but Kain was and she would watch them with him once and a while. Marcus was in the kitchen fetching food, Selene had sent him there, his possessiveness of her and fussing was beginning to aggravate her something bad.
She had made sure he got her something that was difficult to get or prepare so he was a while, but no doubt he would hurry and have someone help him.
Kain casually came in since Selene had sent Soren to fetch him.
To Selene's disappointment the first thing Kain did was look to see where Marcus was
"Where's dad?"
"I sent him to get us food, come and watch a movie with me, I've been getting board" she smiled summoning him to sit next to her.
Kain smiled ran and leapt onto the bed jumping across to her and sat beside her finally he and only he had her full attention. She put her arm around him and gave him a hug, and almost like ha hadn't seen her in years he hugged her tight
"Oh, I feel like I haven't seen you in a while"
"Same" he dropped his head down a little cuddling in to her shoulder
"You're still my first born son, don't worry about Marcus he'll get over it, if he doesn't I'll make him"
Her words made Kain smile from ear to ear and hug her even tighter.
"I know, he's just doing what comes natural" Kain sighed picking up the TV remote.
"Well just remember, when he's the grumpy dad or mum and dad are fighting, your little brother and sister will come to you for comfort and look up to you"
"Yeah..." Kain grinned he had never thought of it that way, though all of Selene's pregnancy Kain hardly ever said much or wanted anything to do with the twins, he was jealous they received all the attention everything seemed to be about them. It was natural in the long run he just wanted his mothers attention
"And besides, you will always be the first born Vamcan in existence" She told him, she knew he was jealous and had been feeling left out, Marcus did not make it any easier on him, his tight hug and clinging was definite proof
"And they are the first Vamcan twins"
"And Vampyre, but you're all my children I love you all the same" she kissed him on the forehead
"I know"
She could still hear the disappointment in his voice.
"So what will we watch then?"
"We'll see what's on" Kain flicked on the TV, an action move came on where there was a car chase, and two men where shooting at each other. Selene did like the action movies, the bad combat moves and unrealistic stunts amused her as did Vampyre movies.
"That type of gun does not have that many bullets, he didn't even reload" Selene said observing the weapon on the screen. Kain let out a laugh and rolled his eyes she always picked the mistakes with guns. Marcus came jogging back with the food in half the time Selene had expected, all she needed now was another excuse to get him back out the room again so she could spend more time with Kain.
Marcus almost kicked open the door as his arms where full, he saw them both on the bed watching the movie laughing as one of the characters stuffed up.
"That's something Duncan would do" Selene laughed, then saw Marcus watching Kain. She could feel Kain tense up a little when Marcus came in, but she pulled him in closer hugging him almost resting her head upon the top of his, she admitted to herself she missed the cuddles from her little, well not so little now son. Like Michael Kain was a cuddly person, he liked hugs from his mother, no matter what his age, Michael had been the same.
Marcus put the tray of food on the end of the bed
"Kain why don't you go play with Lilly Mum needs rest" he was polite, he always was, but Kain knew he was going to say some excuse he always did.
"No, he can stay" Selene held him in place stopping Kain from leaving.
"Its getting late he has school tomorrow"
Kain pulled out of Selene's arm and got up
"Kain sit back down" Selene asked him holding out her hand for him to come back.
"I can't if its not one thing its another" Kain snapped glaring Marcus for a split second then sulked his way out of the room slamming the door behind him.
"Kain!" Selene called him but she heard he had run off down the hall.
Marcus sat right in the spot Kain had been sitting and began to cuddle into Selene placing his hand on her swollen belly feeling his young kick.
He noticed in moments Selene was giving him a very harsh cold glare, a look that could kill
"What?"
She did not answer verbally rather physically when she punched him hard in side cracking one of his ribs
"Ouch, fuck Selene! What the hell was that for?" he yelped holding his side backing away from her a little. He did not get angry or yell at her, he would let her do anything to him, he would not make her distressed in anyway or show violence toward her.
"You bloody know why" She flicked the TV off and slowly hopped off the bed, she had, had enough of his possessiveness and wanting to get rid of everyone around her, he was hogging her to himself. He cringed for a moment holding his side as his bone resealed itself healing in moments.
"Selene!" he jumped off the bed and stopped her from leaving,
"Come back and lay down" He gently tried to lead her back to the bed guiding her along, one hand on her belly the other on her back
"No, I'm sick of you getting rid of him, he may not be your son but he is mine, and he is the twins big brother, you have to put aside your whole macho protectiveness and get over it" she refused to move.
"He's my son too I love him as a son"
"It doesn't seem it"
"I just want time with us and the twins" he smiled rubbing her belly
"You get all the time with me and the twins, but I also want to spend time with him, you've been around me, hugging and feeling the kicking twins 24-7 I need a break once in a while"
"I just want to be there"
"I know you do, and you are but you can be there at the same time as Kain, remember he needs to be here too"
Marcus sighed, then began rubbing her shoulders as she was becoming tense to get the point across, to her it seemed the action meant he wasn't really focusing
"Marcus I'm serious"
"I know"
"And I know you two get jealous of each other, and it has to stop" she paused enjoying the shoulder massage then continued
"Now there is nothing wrong with the three of us sitting down and watching a movie for an hour or so"
"Alright" he had been listening.
"Marcus, he feels left out he needs to feel apart of this if you alienate him now, he may rebel, I think in some ways he's hurt cause his little brother and sister are arriving and he has not part to play, he needs to feel important, a part of the family"
"He is"
"But he doesn't feel it"
Marcus lowered his head realizing the effect he was having upon him. He nodded showing her he understood.
"I'll make an effort" Marcus told her, he gave her a kiss then went to find Kain. She had hopped he meant it he seemed like he had said it to keep her happy, time would tell.
She slowly sat back on the bed positioning a pillow between her legs and belly tonight she seemed sorer than ever so was her back that ached. Sighed she lay back rubbing her belly, feeling the little movements of each of them from within. Sometimes she swore they where having kickboxing matches.
Now she knew why her sister complained when she was pregnant, twins was a lot harder to carry, she thought it was bad enough to try and move with Kain, twins was a lot more awkward. She was not surprised when she heard they where having twins, it ran in the family.
Although she did not worry about birth, since she was a lot more powerful now, and would have no problems with birth from what the doctors could see.
Marcus returned with Kain, Marcus must have said something to Kain because they where both relaxed as they entered, as Kain jumped up onto the bed Marcus smiled and gave a thumb up behind Kain making her smile.
The growing family sat on top the large bed except of Selene who got under the covers.
They and began to watch a comedy, Kain sat one side of Selene and Marcus the other while the bowl of popcorn sat on top of Selene's belly in the middle.
Now she was content, finally a relaxing time with both of them.
It was short lived.
It was fifteen minutes into the movie when the hot ripping pain or labor tore quickly down Selene's back she took in a sharp breath clenching her teeth. She laid back quickly taking the bowl off her belly before it fell on Kain and almost threw it to him. He put it on the floor, not even realizing what was going on
"You want to get up..." Marcus stopped picking up the scent of her labor change. Selene let out a painful moan. Marcus's heart skipped a beat with excitement finally his children were going to arrive
"It's alright" Marcus said taking her hand then stroking her forehead.
Kain stood up worried staring at his mother not knowing what to do or what was going on.
"Your mother is in labor, I need you to get Elaine as fast as you can" Marcus asked him, Kain tore out of the room on his way to find her.
Marcus was not panicking since it was natural for her to go into labor at seven to eight months with twins, even as a powerful immortal she could not carry full term.
Selene let out another moan and squeezed Marcus's hand as a contraction took place then leaned in against him putting her head against his chest for comfort.
"It's alright I wont leave you" He helped her lean against his chest, far enough to rub her back and be supportive to her liking.
Kain returned with Elaine who quickly assessed Selene. Kain stood next to Marcus with a worried look in his face, he had never seen a birth or even knew much about it, and watching his mother in pain was concerning him.
Selene looked up at his expression
"It's alright Kain, this is supposed to happen" she panted, Kain tried to smile be he was still worried.
"Will she go thought the contractions like she did last time?"
"No, she's in full labor, how many contractions have you had so far Selene?"
"Just one" Selene was quite commutable for the time being, but it had been more than fifteen minutes since the first contraction.
"Sorry but this will be a much longer labor" Elaine set up her things ready in care of any change or mishaps.
"Keep her commutable, I'll be back soon" Elaine marched briskly out the room leaving the door half open.
"Do you need anything mum?" Kain put his hand on top of hers sympathizing he still did not understand.
"No, you don't have to stay if you don't want to I will be like this for a while"
"It will stop though right?" he asked puzzled and worried
"Not for a few hours, then she will give birth to your brother and sister" Marcus explained.
"I want to be here"
"Alright, but if you want to go and sleep for an hour or so I can come and wake you when its time for the birth"
"No its okay I'll stay" Kain said determined to witness his siblings birth.
"Well you'll witness first hand the miracle of birth" Viktor's voice boomed from the doorway. The room was filled with a loud growl as Marcus bared his teeth almost roaring at Viktor Kain jumped in fright moving away from the bed where Marcus sat with Selene.
Viktor rolled his eyes
"Oh get over your primal act you know I'm no threat to my own daughter" Viktor snared walking in.
"Oh I see" Viktor sensed the labor and the puffing Selene who let out little moans.
Marcus snarled again his eyes changing black. Viktor and Marcus did talk from time to time but did not always get on. Selene didn't care she was more focused on the second contraction coming on.
Marcus's attention swung back to Selene as she squeezed his and let out another loud cry then panted heavily as the pain tore though her.
Viktor watched silently for a moment as Marcus rubbed Selene's back again, his head against hers quietly whispering loving encouraging words in her ear until the main of the pain had passed.
"You're doing well Selene, if you can make it though a Vampyre birth you will make it though this no problem" Viktor still saw her as his daughter and wanted to comfort her or support her as well but he was not aloud.
Marcus growled at him again as Viktor stepped closer Marcus leaned over Selene pulling her in close to him. Viktor was still meters from the bed when Marcus lifted his arm summoning his claws. Viktor knew he was not going to be able to go any closer
"Alright I'll leave, best wishes Selene" Viktor grumbled turning to leave she gave him a small nod of thank you before he turned away. He gave a small one in return then glared at Marcus and made his quick exit.
Kain could now see Marcus had indeed been patient with him, since now he could see Marcus let him near his mother, he was not aggressive with him and had asked, or just made excuses for him to leave politely to what he could have done.
Kain left soon after Viktor following him down the hall
"Something you want Kain?" Viktor asked without turning around.
"No just stretching my legs" he said, he was really giving Marcus and his mother some time alone, letting Marcus comfort Selene, he also didn't know what to do.
"Still don't see why Marcus was like that, he knows you why would he still do it?"
"You're still a bit young to understand, when you're older and have a partner you're primal instincts will take over then you will understand, its something we cannot help" Viktor explained walking Kain though the halls.
Selene's labor went for hours, till the small hours of the morning. Kain had fallen asleep on the couch in Marcus and Selene's room, Erika and Elaine came back.
"How's she doing?" Erika approached cautious of Marcus, but she was fine, it was males he reacted to.
"She's tired" Marcus brushed the hair back off Selene's face. She lay in the bed covered in the sheets as she had been feeling cold he was in the bed with her still comforting her, when he felt her jolt while letting out a cry followed by a warm gush of liquid flow over their legs. Marcus pulled back the covers to see her broken waters where an usual color, it was a watery black inky colour mixed with blood.
"What the hell!" Marcus became alarmed
"I've never seen this before" Elaine looked at the water closer
Kain got up and stood still watching, his eyes wide at all the blood and black liquid over the bed
"Mum...?" Kain was now horrified and really confused
"What's wrong?!" Selene started to become distressed and tried to sit up, she saw the colour of the womb water.
"It's alright Selene just relax" Erika tried to calm Selene sitting her back while Marcus and Elaine sort out the problem.
"What's happening?" Selene cried out in pain.
Elaine checked Selene getting a little of the water on her hand
"Apart from the colour you're dilated properly everything's going... Argh!" Elaine screamed as the blood and black water began to eat at her skin
"It's the Vorador blood in her! You cannot touch it, it eats your skin!" Marcus realized the black colour of the water was natural, but highly toxic.
"Get it underwater rinse it off"
Elaine ran into the bathroom and began to wash off the black substance eating her hand, it was moving fast dissolving her flesh
"Erika take Elaine to the lab, I will have to deliver my children I am the only one immune to her blood"
Erika without question escorted Elaine to the lab holding the towel over her hands to stop the bleeding.
"I will need your help Kain" Marcus told Kain to keep him involved. Kain stepped forward ready to do as he was asked.
"I need you to sit next to your mother and be supportive and do as I ask, don't get any of this blood on you alright?"
"Yes" Kain jumped up onto the bed next to Selene and put his hand on her hand
"It's okay mum"
"Thank you sweetie" Selene red in the face smiled to Kain knowing he just wanted to help.
Selene struggled to readjust herself in a position to be commutable to start pushing, without being told Kain started adjusting the pillows behind her, and helped her move. Without much effort he almost had lifted her
"You're getting strong" She mused trying to take her mind off the pain.
"You can start" Marcus told her, immediately Selene began to push.
It took her quite a few pushes to before Marcus could see the head of his first child.
"You're doing well, keep pushing" Marcus was becoming emotional as finally over hundreds of years his fist child was being born.
"You're almost there" he told her his face plastered with a smile as she gave another strong push.
"That's it" he had to wipe his eyes as he became overwhelmed with emotion then finally took his daughter from Selene. Selene let out a loud cry as her fist daughter was born.
Immediately the new born began to cry, cry as much as her father who held her gently in his arms. Kain had leaned forward to see his baby Sister Marcus leaned forward so his forehead was against Selene's and she could see their infant daughter.
"She's so beautiful" Marcus sobbed, Selene was the same. She smiled and wiped the stream of tear off his cheek. Marcus kissed Selene and whispered in her ear
"I love you thank you"
Selene was about to respond when she let out a groan, for the second child was coming.
"Kain I need you to do something really important" Marcus asked turning to him. Kain sat up nodding
"This is really important, I need you to take care and hold your little sister while I help your mother deliver your brother"
Kain's eyes widened as he gave a smile. Marcus gently put her onto a blanket cut her umbilical cord sealed it then wrapped her up and handed her over to Kain showing him how to hold her properly.
"Here's your little Sister" Marcus let go of her, sitting back Kain held her so gently, she stopped crying as soon as she was in his arms and partially opened her eyes almost looking up at him
"See she knows who her big brother is" Selene said between breaths
"It is unusual for a new born to open their eyes" Marcus told him
Kain grinned looking down at his infant sister he was proud now to be a big brother, and wanted to always protect his little sibling she seemed so small and helpless, her safety was in his arms, or so he saw it that way.
Selene was tired and now even more exhausted from delivering the first twin now she had to deliver the second.
Marcus wiped his face and watched for a second along with Selene, the look on Kain's face. Erika returned to see the family moment scene, she couldn't help but give awe aloud until Selene moaned in pain again.
Selene had to admit the pain didn't seem as bad as it did the first time with Kain, but it was still bad, and not to mention the pain of being burned alive and resurrected in the battle of Burwood was worse, so this pain was capable.
"Careful not to touch the blood" Marcus told Erika reluctantly moving from Selene's side to deliver their last child. Marcus was commutable with Erika around Selene and his children since she had one of her own and had trusted him to deliver her baby, along with Elaine.
Selene lay her head back teeth clenched letting out another moan
"I'm to tired" she moaned closing her eyes
"You're doing fine" Erika said sitting by her side
"Push Selene"
But Selene did not push she needed the break for a few moments more.
"Come on Selene push" he told her again
She started to push but stopped half way relaxing again heavily breathing.
"You have to push harder" Marcus's tone was harsher he was becoming impatient to see and hold his son next.
"I can't" She snapped harshly at him aggravated.
"But you can, come on push" Marcus said still with a harsh tone.
"Maybe she need's a little longer, she just did deliver one already" Erika suggested
"I'm sorry but she cant, she's starting to lose blood" Marcus coldly snapped at Erika
"You're sorry my ass!" Selene lifted her foot and kicked Marcus in the shoulder, he could see she put effort into it but her kick hardly effected him at all, he realized how tired she had become.
"This is the part you want to kill him" Erika whispered to Selene who was groaning
"Guess your kick didn't damage him" Selene whispered referring to Marcus who partly looked up hearing what she said.
"Want me to make sure I do permanent damage next time so this doesn't happen again" Erika joked
"Tempting" Selene smiled Marcus glared at Erika then let it pass since Selene gave a smile then gave a hard push on her own accord.
"Good, just a couple more" Marcus instructed
"Then again you could kick him and I might end up with triplets next time" Selene moaned trying to give another smile, instead gave up and gave another push instead.
"That's great, they don't call you the powerful queen of immortals for nothing" Erika admired Selene's will to keep pushing, Erika had had enough of labor with one child let alone two, making her giving more than absolute admiration for Selene.
Selene gave her final last push, Marcus took his son from his mother up into his arms. Their infant son more covered in the black womb water, gave a small cry then began to make small mewing sounds. Selene hearing her son cry flopped back onto the bed it was over.
"It's over" Erika wiped Selene's forehead. Marcus cut and sealed the umbilical cord on his son then wrapped him up, only to have his eyes water with joy again again. Their son seemed smaller than the daughter, and the amount of blood and black substance on his face and body he seemed to have trouble breathing. Immediately Marcus gently wiped it away from his mouth and nose but he had stopped making any noises.
Selene closed her eyes relaxing, sheer exhaustion wanted her to drift into sleep, she knew the twins where in Marcus and Kain's arms so she let herself doze as her body quickly began to heal and change it self back.
"Congratulations two healthy twins" Erika said looking over to Marcus who had his head down over the second twin. Her face dropped as she saw the look upon his face his tears had changed from joy to sorrow, he had just put the phone down
"One, healthy twin" Marcus sobbed quietly, he had sent an urgent message for the doctors to come, but there was nothing much they could do since they could not touch him, Marcus was stunned in stillness with sorrow.
"What!" Selene screeched awkwardly in pain sitting up sharply to let out a cry of pain.
"No" Selene barely managed to drag herself along the bed trying to get to Marcus. The baby twin Kain held started to cry at her mothers scream, Kain tried to rock her gently and began to panic himself. Erika shot over to him and calmed him down.
"It's alright, just look after your sister" She faced Kain away from his parents and put his concentration on the infant in his arms. Marcus sat next to Selene with the dieing child in his arms
"What can we do...?" Selene could barely talk or breath, she was trying not to cry seeing the motionless twin in his arms. Marcus finally snapped out of the sorrow like shock and got up
"I have to warm him up! Clean this off before they get here!" he realized, the infant had not quite died yet, he was cold an ever so lightly breathing. So it seemed most immortal children struggled to make it into the world, even Erika had a scare with Lilly.
Marcus rushed his son into the bathroom, Selene tried to follow only to fall head first off the bed and land flat on her face upon the floor. Exhaustion was really taking its toll as she tried to get up, she couldn't take much more with worry and fear now also taking over she passed out.
Marcus heard Selene hit the floor twice, the second time she didn't move he knew she passed out but he also knew she would be fine his main priority was held in his arm while he filled the sink with warm water with the other as fast as he could possibly go. Gently he lowered him into the warm water, after checking it a few times to make sure it did not scold his skin. With his hands he began to wipe off the black goop and blood
"Don't die on me please don't die!" Marcus's face was wet from so many tears.
"Where the hell are they?!" he yelled wondering why the doctors weren't there by now, he should have taken him strait there if he had reacted properly, now he was beginning to blame himself.
A spark of hope flared when the infant took a bigger breath, Marcus was quick to notice he was responding to his back and chest being rubbed in a rhythmic pattern
"That's it! Come on my little one" Marcus supported him under the warm water with his face out a little rubbing his tiny chest, this time a mew came from him. Marcus's heart leapt with hope as another louder cry came from him.
"Yes! Yes! Keep breathing!" his tears changed back from sorrow to joy.
Erika smiled giving out a small breath of relief yet hope of hearing the encouraging words come from Marcus.
"What's going on?" Kain asked as finally his sister's cry began to slow and become mewing. Erika checked her, she was fine just calming.
"Stay here and keep watching her, if she stops moving or breathing tell me, I'm going to check your mother" Erika said glimpsing to Selene who lay face down motionless upon the floor.
Erika rolled Selene over onto her back and lightly slapped her face to see if she would come round, all she got was a groan then silence. Erika ventured to the bathroom door daring to look in since it had gone quiet. She slowly pushed the door open to see Marcus sitting on the side of the bath holding the twin against his bare chest the rest of him wrapped in a towel in his arms, Marcus was crying and slightly rocking back and forth. Erika put her hand to her mouth
"Oh no!" her eyes watered with sorrow at the scene
"No, he's alive" Marcus cried, she had mistaken his heartfelt cry of such relief for sorrow.
She let out the biggest of sighs
"Oh thank the heavens!"
"What about my girls?"
"Selene is out cold and your daughter is fine, still snuggled happily in Kain's arms" She fell back against the wall dropping her shoulders.
"That was some scare" she said rubbing her temples.
"Fuck was it what, too close, I don't know what I would have done if he had..." He couldn't even say it.
"How did you do it?"
"I just warmed him up in the water cleaned his face and skin to breath and rubbed his chest, then when he was moving and breathing better I took him out of the water that was getting cool and put him against my warm chest so he could be soothed by my heartbeat, keep him calm from the stress of birth" He babbled so happy that his tiny son was alive. He was so small he could be held cupped in Marcus's hands. Erika came closer to see Marcus was using his fury power that heated his body up enough to keep the child the right warmth. Marcus proudly sat his head back and high so proud, proud of his little son and daughter it was all in the way he sat and had held them. He pulled back the towel enough for Erika to see his little face.
"He's smaller than his sister"
"Yes, but not by much" he got up wanting to see his daughter again.
Kain watched him bring his young brother in and sit next to him showing him his little face
"He's okay"
Marcus nodded checking on his daughter
"She's quite content in your arms"
At that moment the doctors finally barged in
"Where the fuck where you lot?" it was Erika who snared at them before Marcus who was more focused on his family, that was all that mattered he was to tried to yell anymore and had cried so much and so hard his throat hurt.
"Do you know the meaning of the word emergency?" before they could answer she tore more strips off them
"Their son almost fucken died cause you lot bloody pissed around, you're as useless as tits on a bull!" She angrily yelled but not to loud it was her harsh tone and black eyes that made the human doctors step back in fear.
"What!" Viktor's deep crackly voice snarled as he came up behind the doctors. He had lingered in the halls waiting for the birth.
His eyes fell upon Selene lying upon the floor, he thought he had sensed her distress and came back only to hear Erika yelling.
"Selene" Viktor moved to her side and sat her up in his arms careful of her wings.
"My child" He said quietly. Marcus stood up his eyes back at Viktor he was about to let out a growl when Viktor cut him off.
"She spends hours in pain giving birth bringing your twins into the world and you leave her piled on the floor so disrespectfully?"
"I had to save our son" Marcus snapped back
"Well he's fine now, you could have least given him to Erika or gotten Erika to pick her up and put her on the bed, but no you leave her piled on the floor like a piece of rubbish, how dare you" Viktor was angry and upset at the disrespect toward Selene, he gently folded in her wings and lifted her up into his arms cradling her like Marcus cradled his child.
"I had to take care of my son" Marcus's snarled at Viktor with his mate in his arms
"And I'm taking care of my daughter, which you seem incapable of" Viktor growled back. Marcus wanted to rip out Viktor's throat but with his son in his arms he didn't want to take him any closer. The twin Marcus held began to whimper and cry at the loud sounds, Marcus lowered the towel a little to check him at least he was crying. Viktor smiled seeing the tiny infant's face in Marcus's huge arms, Marcus covered him up as soon as he realized Viktor was looking then turned him away hiding him. Viktor was quick to calm himself
"I would never hurt them ever" Viktor's word where much more calm
"She was alright for the time being, I had to save our son he was dieing, I did not deliberately leave her on the floor like a piece of rubbish"
Viktor could hear the pain of almost losing his son in the way his words where spoken. Viktor twitched his mouth letting it pass, he knew Marcus treated Selene like a queen but anything to have a go at Marcus with he seemed to leap at. "Erika" He ordered sharply for her to follow him as he took Selene into the bath room to help clean Selene up.
Marcus gritted his teeth letting Viktor and Erika tend to Selene.
The doctors looked closely at the blood upon the bed and floor
"You lot don't touch it or you'll end up with hands like Elaine, take the sheets down to the lab I want this tested, and clean this up so Selene can sleep in the bed immediately, then I might consider not firing the lot of you" Marcus grumbled then returned to Kain and his twins. Never had they seen mortals move and clean so fast, Marcus soon noticed Viktor waiting out side the door as Erika helped Selene. Marcus narrowed his eyes at him lifting the corner of his mouth to partly show a fang.
"She's awake"
Marcus ventured over to the bathroom with Kain, Viktor was respectful enough to move away from the door so he was not near Marcus's twins, Selene must have said something Marcus thought with delight, either that of the old fool has finally learnt his place.
"Erika" Marcus called her out, he heard a thump from the other side of the door then she came out
"Kain give your sister to Erika"
"But why I'm looking after her" Kain loved taking care of her.
"I know and you have done a good job, but now your mother needs to see her and your brother, and you should get some sleep, you can look after them tomorrow, you can even stay home from school"
Kain was happy with the deal and let Erika gently take his sister from his arms.
"Come on Kain lets leave them to it" Viktor walked Kain out.
"Marcus"
He heard Selene calling from the bathroom
"I'm coming"
They took the twins into Selene who was in the large bath, letting the heat help heal and relieve her sore stressed body. The first thing she did was reach out for anyone of the twins, Erika handed her, her daughter.
"Here she is" Erika helped Selene hold her out of the water.
"It's alright the waters just right"
Marcus sat on the side of the bath and pulled the towel back to show her, her second son. Selene smiled so hard tears fell from her eyes.
"He's alive" he smiled watching his tiny son stretch his little fingers.
"Thanks to you"
Marcus said nothing just got up and into the bath, cloths and all. He sat opposite Selene weaving his legs in with hers leaning in close so he was in close enough for Selene to reach the twin. Selene giggled
"What are you doing?"
"I don't know I'm so happy I don't care" he laughed
