(Elena's POV)

Surprise Baby Shower

We were on our way back to Stonehaven, finally. Nick and Antonio were following behind; just in case there were any lose ends we forgot about in Toronto. I was just glad to finally be going home and sleep in my own bed. I had promised Clay and Jer that once everything in Toronto settled down and we were able to go home I would relax and rest.

Clay was somewhat alert now, the drugs had almost wore off from where they removed the muscle in his right arm, from the zombie scratch. He was sitting in the back seat, eager to be going home; I think he was more so excited to get home so I would rest. And if I rested better he would as well.

Jamie had went home as well, she promised to call later, whenever she was free. Paige had also called making sure the portal was closed and the zombies were gone. She had also promised that before Savannah went back to school she would come and visit and we would do something baby related.

We pulled into the driveway, I sighed in relief, tired of being cooped up in Jeremy's car. As soon as he stopped I hopped out, my feet hitting the gravel. The boys got all the luggage while I helped Clay into the house. He was still a little hazy from the drugs, I just put an arm around his shoulder. I opened the door for him and the guys as they followed behind us.

"I'm making lunch." Antonio said, dropping the bags by the door and heading towards the kitchen.

"I'll help him." Nick said, dropping his bags as well.

Jeremy gave them a look as they turned the corner to the kitchen. I patted Clay's chest.

"Why don't you go into the dining room and wait for lunch? Then we'll take a nap." I told him, picking up a couple bags to help Jer.

I knew Clay was still slightly out of it when he left without argument. Jeremy took the luggage out of my hands.

"That can be done later. Why don't we go help them make lunch? It'll be faster." He said, I gave him a funny look.

"What's up?" I asked as he lead me towards the dining room and not the kitchen.

"Nothing is up." He said trying to disguise a smile.

I could hear the shuffling of feet and quiet whispers. It was more than just the three boys, so now I knew something was definitely up.

When we stepped into the dining room a loud surprise made me jump. Paige, Lucas, Jamie, and Savannah. The dining room was decorative in pink and blue streamers and balloons. The table also had the extra leaf in it, making it longer and the center of the table had platters of different food.

I felt my face heat up, "What is all this?" I asked taking another step into the room.

"It's your baby shower." Savannah said smiling.

"A makeshift one. We had been planning on a bigger one but since, well Toronto, we figured a smaller more intimate one was better." Lucas said, his arm around Paige.

"You guys knew." I accused the guys as they stood sheepishly around the table. Clay was sitting, half smiling and half sleeping.

"Guilty." Antonio said, already piling his plate.

"Yes we figured the best time to have the surprise baby shower was before Clay's medicine wore off." Nick said thumping a somewhat present Clay on the back.

"Hey I would have been okay with this." Clay said.

"Well thank you guys. This was really nice." I said getting behind Antonio and Nick to fill my plate.

After we ate I sat at the head of the table and started to open my gifts. The first one was from Lucas and Paige, it was two sets of pajama's one green and one yellow. Unisex colors. At the bottom were teething rings and hats to match the pajamas.

Savannah handed me her gift next, it were two teddy bears and two sets of socks. I hugged her while I thanked her.

Jamie had bought me a couple of cute outfits, two pairs of shoes and a breast feeding pillow. She laughed when I unwrapped the pillow, saying that she had heard these things were crucial and would become your best friend during feedings. I laughed along with her and thanked her, saying that it was most definitely be my biggest helper, since I was having two babies.

Nick's gift was next, I could tell he went to a professional wrapper, the packaging was messaged and cut so perfectly. I carefully opened it, not really wanting to ruin the wrapping. Inside were a pair of snow suits, the twins would be born close to winter. The snow suits were made to look like wolf suits. Everyone laughed, I gave Nick a look. He smiled and shrugged.

"Well it'll fit their parents. Baby wolves." He said.

I shook my head and pulled out the rest of the contents. Pacifiers, an expensive diaper bag, blankets, and toys. I knew that Nick was excited to be an uncle. He may not want kids of his own, but a niece or nephew was a great way for him to somewhat experiance some of the joys of being a dad. He could spoil and love the twins, just as he would his own kids.

Antonio's gift was next. It made me a little nervous, it was a huge box, actually two huge boxes. I could only imagine what was under the wrapping paper. Clay helped me open this one, he was starting to regain his right sense of mind.

It was a top of the line baby bouncer, one of the most expensive and best ones on the market. It had eight settings for any mood the baby was in. I gave him a look and told him that a cheaper one would of sufficed. He disagreed. I shook my head but proceeded to open the other one, it was the same bouncer.

He also had a huge decorative bag, which contained clothes, and other various items we would need. We thanked him, we hadn't even thought of, or bought, a fraction of this stuff. I guess we just figured the babies would pop out with everything they needed.

Jeremy hadn't given us a gift, but that was probably because if he gave a gift or did a nice gesture he preffered not to be acknowledge. I had found that out in my earlier years here. It was fine if he didn't get us a gift, I wasn't to concerned.

So that was my small, but wonderful babyshower. I had really appreciated it, but in all reality I didn't need a baby shower. Between the pack and the councel the twins would be the only babies. We were constantly receiving gifts from everyone, claiming that the twins absolutely needed it. Yes, our twins would most certainly be spoiled rotten.
