Abby was pacing back and forth in the waiting room, Sheila was biting her nails and Luke watched his big sisters like they were a movie.
"It's been three hours! Where are the kids!?" Abby exclaimed.
"You don't think they...died?" Sheila asked wide eyed.
Luke rolled his eyes, "You two could be in a reality tv show. Mom's having twins, they're coming two months early, it's gonna take a while. Most mothers are in labor for up to eleven plus hours."
Sheila stopped biting her nails, "How on earth do you know that?"
Luke shrugged, "Mom talks to me."
Abby shook her head, "Whatever, that doesn't matter."
"Calm down," Luke said, "Or you two are going to surge."
Surging is a name their family made up for when the twins power became too much. Since they were a mix of Bennett and Gemini Coven the girls were super witches. Sometimes their power became uncontrollable.
As the twins became more and more anxious, Luke saw a surge forming. Before he could even blink, a ring of fire erupted around Abby.
"Abby!" Luke exclaimed.
Sheila's eyes grew wide as fire began to encircle her as well.
"No! Sheila!" Luke ran to Abby grabbing her hand, his hand glowed, he started sucking the power from his sister. Once the flames ran out Luke ran to Sheila and did the same.
As soon as the flames were completely gone the twins collapsed, breathing deeply and heavily, beads of sweat dripped down their face.
Luke sighed, "I told you."
Abby looked at her little brother, "Thank you, you really have a gift."
Luke sadly smiled, "To bad I can't practice magic here. You're magic will fade from me by the time we go home."
Sheila patted Luke's shoulder, "We'll give you some magic when we get home."
Luke was born like Kai, he could absorb others power and cast spells with it, but if he used it all up he was back to having no magic. Bonnie and Kai made it a point not to discriminate Luke for his gift. Kai would teach Luke how to control when he'd absorb power and Luke used his gift to help control his sisters. Every time they'd surge Luke would take just enough magic away so that the girls could have control. Luke knew he wouldn't be there forever, so he started practicing new ways to control surges. Sometimes when the girls would surge Luke would touch them, but not absorb any power. Luke hoped that their brains would make then think power was being taken, but really they would be in control of their full power. This only worked sometimes. Luke was happy with his gift, he always felt pity for his dad, hearing that his father was an outcast for having the same gift, but his dad didn't outcast him. Which meant he really loved him.
A nurse came over to the Parker children, "Your mother has safely delivered her children, if you'll follow me, you can meet them."
The twins and Luke jumped up, finally they'd meet their new siblings.
Bonnie was sitting in her hospital room, an IV connected to her arm, Kai holding her hand.
Abby, Sheila, and Luke rushed in, ready to meet their new siblings. Bonnie smiled at her children, she was tired, really tired.
The kids looked around the room, no babies.
"Mom?" Abby asked, "Where are the babies?"
"Ready to meet your brothers and sister?" Bonnie asked, her voice hoarse, she looked like she really needed a nap.
"Brothers plural and sister? That makes no sense." Sheila said.
Bonnie looked up at Kai, "Can you take them to see the kids?"
"Of course, now you rest." Kai squeezed Bonnie's hand and kissed her forehead. "Ok kids this way."
Kai led his children through a door on the other side of the room. Here there were multiple large incubators. Leading his children to a little corner he pointed to three incubators. "Meet your sister Jenna and your brothers Rudy and Xander."
Abby looked up at her father, "Triplets? I thought it was just twins."
"So did we, but alas three were born."
The three kids looked at their triplets siblings. Being born two months early made each child about the size of Kai's palm. Each baby was hooked up to numerous tubes, feeding them and keeping them alive.
"Are they sick?" Luke asked.
Kai shook his head, "No, but they were born premature, meaning too early. In this case two months two early. So they're mini sized, the doctors have them hooked up to these tubes to keep them alive and giving them the nutrition they need."
"When will they come home?" Sheila asked.
"Two weeks at least, but it's more likely they'll stay here for a month or two, once they grow to a healthy size. Same with your mother, she's gonna have to stay at the hospital for at least two weeks as well. She'll probably not want to go home until all three can."
"Why name then Jenna, Rudy, and Xander?" Abby asked changing the subject.
"Jenna was your mothers best friend, Elena's, aunt. Jenna died as a sacrifice to a stupid curse Niklaus Mikaelson wanted to break. Jenna raised Elena and Jeremy after their parents death, I believe Bonnie came to be quite fond of her. Rudy is Bonnie's father's name and Xander is my middle name. Do you all know who you're all named after?"
The three nodded.
"I'm named after your little brother Luke who forced you to merge with him instead of Auntie Jo." Luke said, "Sheila is mommy's grandma's name and Abby is mommy's mommy's name."
Kai smiled, "That's right, you're all named after someone very important in either your mom or my lives, mostly your mom though. She was and still is surrounded by people who love her."
The three kids smiled, reaching down each of them held one of their new siblings tiny hands with one of their fingers.
"We're proud to be Parkers," Abby said.
"Bennetts," Sheila added.
"And Gemini's." Luke finished.
Kai smiled at his children, "Forever together."
