Chapter 1- Memory

Derek would be home at any minute. Since we were still kind of on the run and none of us had a permit place to stay yet, Derek and Simon took it upon themselves to do that. Everyone just figured we would all just live together to save up SOME money, but once this little news gets out I think they'll all think differently. I am still surprise Derek hasn't noticed, well granted I had just noticed myself everyone was too hyped up on Derek and me randomly deciding to get married at the age of 18 and 19, but we also figured since I was Derek's mate why wait? It was pretty much like we were already married in the werewolf world.

Anyways, I just came back from the doctor to get the surprise that I am 3 months along in pregnancy and I am pregnant with twins. And since the doctor was now able to tell what I was having I went ahead and asked. Boys, I was pregnant with two boys and I couldn't be happier. And best thing yet, I had come up with the prefect way to tell everyone. We will celebrate Christmas tomorrow, I had to hurry and get everything I needed- as it was a good thing I haven't bought anything for anyone yet. I asked to doctor to print out three copies and the ultrasound and she gladly did.

I was lucky I found a place that could put writing on shirts for me; babies, toddles, teens, and adults. So I quickly walked into the place and found the sizes and colors I wanted for the shirts before walking up to the counter to tell the man behind it what I wanted on each shirt. I was also lucky that this was a Supernatural community or I wanted be able to put 'Werewolf in training' on the two blue onesies. Simon had a light green shirt that said 'Uncle of two hectic boys'. If they were anything like Kit said Derek was when he was a child they would be running all over the place and had tons of energy that they got from being a werewolf.

Derek had mentioned- when we talked about kids- (But that was in the FAR future, not now) how the werewolf gene would be more proment than my Necromancer gene and we would most likely had werewolves, but with the experiments we weren't for sure. I was hoping they were Werewolves and not Nero's. Tori's was a deep purple shirt with the saying 'I can't believe I am an aunt, I am too young'. Derek was a black shirt that said 'Didn't want to be a dad at the moment, but couldn't be happier.' And I knew he would be happy, once he gets over the being to young part. I had also bought three boxes, tissue paper, and small clear sheet protectors to put the ultrasound pictures in them.

Each shirt had the hints on them, but was obvious to what was going on. And the shirts had the words 'Aunt', 'Uncle', and 'Dad' bolded and in a different color than the other words. Each was more expensive but it was worth it. Simon's lettering color was a blue, for Uncle, and purple for the rest of the wording. Tori's was a light shy blue for most of the lettering, but a hot dark pink for the word Aunt. Derek's shirt had a really light blue for most of the wording and dad in a bright red color. I took one look at the finish products and deemed them prefect enough. I had rushed to the hotel so I could get the presents packed and under the two foot tree Simon brought home.

Each of the boxes was Christmas theme, of course. One had a Snowman on it, the other Santa Claus, and the last one had a Reindeer- all cartoon drawn. Placing the tissue paper first, and having it matched, somewhat, to the box colors in each box before I decided which box would go to which person. Finally I decided that Tori would get the Reindeer, Simon the Santa Claus, and Derek the Snowman. Frist I placed their T-shirts in and then the ultrasound, but in Derek's before I did that I added the two blue onesies and then the ultra sound. Adding an extra sheet of tissue paper on top I closed the lids and taped each four sides and placed them under the two foot tree. And that leads me to where I am right now, waiting for Derek. I knew I couldn't tell him, because that would ruin the present for each of them. But I secretly wanted to celebrate before he might spring an angry Derek, if you know what I mean. ;)

-Get Her Back-

It was now Christmas morning and everyone was sitting down at the table eating breakfast that Derek and Simon had made. Since Derek and my room was a bit bigger we decided that was where the tree was and where we would spend Christmas morning like we always did for the past couple years. Eat- as a family- breakfast, watch a Christmas movie, open gifts, and just tell random stories when you were a child. I knew Derek had cleaned the hotel room before Simon had come over, as we made a mess in the process of ripping each other's close off before we hit the bedroom. There was at least three present for each of us under the tree; I had purposely put mine behind every ones. Because usually the person in front went first, then so forth down to the person who's present were in back.

After the family Christmas breakfast, it was Tori's turn to pick the movie that we would watch. Tori rented many Christmas movies because she didn't know which she felt like watching on that day until the day had come. She ended up picking How the Grinch stole Christmas, the cartoon version not the one with Jim Carry as the Grinch. And I was happy she picked that one, we grown up with that version and I thought it was better because it barely strayed from the children's book. And since it was short, only about 25 minutes, we got to the opening presents fast.

Tori went first because hers were in front. She gave Derek a How to on Sex book, Simon How to keep a Girl, and me How to pleasure your partner book. We all laughed and shook our head at Tori, she did this every year. Pick a theme and give everyone something that matched it. Of course, Derek and I had a hint of red on our faces from the type of books she gave us. I knew Derek diffidently did NOT need that book, but I could always use a little help now and again… We all placed our books to the side, and Derek was next.

We all pretty much knew what Derek would get us, as he ALWAYS got us something that would help control our powers or something that would help us. The first year Derek and I were together- and we were staying at this town for a while- he bought me a months' worth of defense classes. And believe it or not I was actually grateful for them, it thought me different ways to fend off an attacker from behind, side, and front. Even fend off an attacker that had a weapon either a gun, knife, bat, whatever. That year he bought Tori this necklace that helped calmed her down with her emotions, so they wouldn't run wild- she still wears it, but as a bracelet. He bought Simon something that looked like a bracelet and it helped him channel his powers more quickly.

We all held our breathes as he passed us his presents. Slowly everyone opened present given, mine was in a small bag but there was a velvet small square box inside. I got it out and opened it, gasping. It was a ring- well two-, so beautiful and perfect. I took it out of the box they were his and hers wedding rings. When brought together they make a heart- the females' heart had small diamonds while the male's was a regular heart without diamonds, the rings where silver. I love it, I stared down at then in awe. Derek's ring was huge compared to mine, but the heart did fit together as they made my heart bigger to fit his… or did they make his heart smaller to fit mine? Oh who cares!? I looked up at Derek, mouth slight hung open and he was smiling at me clearly knowing I liked the ring.

I shot up and tackled Derek in a hug, with the rings held tightly in my fist. Derek chuckles and takes the ring out of my hand handing me his and taking mine. He took my left hand and put it on, understanding what I was supposed to do, I did the same. I smiled down at the rings once again and kissed his cheek. Whispering 'Thank you' to him. I looked around at Simon and Tori also had jewelry… not as expensive has mine was, but still expensive. Simon got an expensive looking watch that was gold and Tori got diamond earrings that looked oddly in a witch's hat.

After Tori and Simon said, in awe, thank you to him it was Simon's turn. Slowly he got up, not knowing if his present would beat Derek's. He was shifted in his seat as we all opened our presents. Every year Simon just grabs random things he would think we would like and sometimes they were funny and other times you could tell one person or another wasn't too happy with the present he gave as he had a weird sense of humor. Like one Christmas Simon brought Derek and Me the same book Sex Positions was the title. But that wasn't what was the thing that had the weird-sick humor. He had opened the book to the 'Doggy Position' with a little sticky note attacked saying 'Might as well learn the position now'. Yeah he got yelled at by Kit and Aunt Lauren that year. Strangely enough though, I read through the book and not just the page he had it opened to. Lets' just say after that, sex with Derek gets interesting all over again well more interesting.

I finished opening my box that held the present and it was another book. I gulped and unwrapped the tissue paper away from it. Letting a breath out when I noticed it was a directors' book. Not just any director's book. Pretty much all well-known director and little information about their lives and what drove them to become a director. I side hugged Simon and stared at the book before turning to see what Derek and Tori got. Tori got a Spa gift card for two people, already knowing she was going to take me, I smiled. Derek book was a Supernatural's book on Werewolves.

"Where did you find this?" Derek paused before flipping it over and sliding his hand across the back. "I've been looking for this book forever." He mumbled, opening it up and reading the chapters' title page.

"Tons of research and had to pull a lot of strings." Simon said looking happy that we all actually liked the presents this year. We all read the backs of the things we got before it was time to open mine. I told everyone to clean up a bit before I handed them their gifts, which got me funny looks but they did as told. When all the gifts were in a neat pile of whos was whos and the trash was up they sat down at looked at me questionably.

"Don't open till I say." They nod and I distributed the boxes. Taking a deep breath and clasping my hands together to try to stop there shaking. I knew Derek noticed and gave me a worried glance but I shook my head.

"Okay. Open them." They all looked at each other before flipping the box and breaking the tape barrier. Then turn the boxes back around and looked at each other again before lifting the lid up. They took off the extra tissue paper and just stared at the box. Before slowly they reached in and looked at the picture and as if just seeing the shirts the glanced and picked them up. Well Derek just continued to stare while Simon and Tori picked the shirts up, read the writing and flipped it to hold it up to their bodies. I kept my eyes on Derek who hasn't moved at all since reading the two blue baby onesies. Tori and Simon seemed to noticed Derek's silence and leaned over to look in his box. Simon noticing that there was another shirt underneath the two onesies picked the oneies up to relvel his Derek.

Derek moved his head to the ultrasound picture that he placed on the floor before picked it up but glancing up but not at my face at my stomach. Then back at the picture and just continued to go back and forth. Like he wasn't believing that I was pregnant at all. Everyone was just watching him, nervously. Simon and Tori looked like any minute they would fight with Derek if he said anything mean or hurtful. After a long while Simon realized Derek was in too much of a shock and spoke.

"Twin Boys? How far along are you? When did you find out? Holy crap, how did this happen?" Tori snorted.

"Well you see when two people love each other very much-" Simon sent a glare her way.

"That is not what I meant. I meant I thought you guys were being safe." I nod to confirm where were.

"I guess the condom broke." I sighed and wrapped my arms around me, feeling strangely protective all of a sudden. "Found out yesterday. I felt sick, but I hadn't had any pregnancy symptoms other than eating extreme amount of food. And then when I strangely just realized I was late… I am three months along." Tori opened her mouth. "Don't. Okay? I don't know how I could go on for three months and realized I hadn't had my monthly gift. Or that my stomach was forming a little round bump. Or that Derek couldn't sense the chemical change. I just. Don't. Know." She nods and I turn my gaze to Derek who still hasn't looked up to my face.

"Derek?" I whispered, worriedly.

-Getting Her Back-

With that, I woke up. The same four white walls, same bed, same couch that I have been staring at for the past eight months. Yeah, I am now eight months pregnant, not close to even thinking of a way out of this hell whole. Dr. K visits me, I am thinking once a day. Making sure I am okay and most importantly that the baby was okay and healthy. He is also the only interaction I get being here; the food was given to me through the slot placed on the door. I only ate because of the baby; I knew they would not do anything harmful to it as they wanted to study it. I have to refer to the baby as an 'it' because he would not tell me the sex of my baby.

Every day I worried about Derek and my boys. Damen and Dustin. They would be six years next month. I wanted to be with them so badly, I couldn't even think about how Derek was copping with me gone and raising the boys probably not by himself. He has his dad, Laruen, Simon, and Tori none of them would leave him on his own, I know it…
