AN: Alright so it took Cassie about an hour to figure out I hadn't written anymore to this story! So I'm back! And don't worry. I know you all want to beat my skull in for leaving her dead, but have no fear Ash is going blue and people will die!... No just kidding, they'll live! Yay right? Ok so sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Disclaimer: I only own Kai, Skylar, and Sophia!

Ash froze as a dark foreboding washed over him. Sophia was dead. He looked up, pain evident in his eyes. Jess's shoulders slumped. Oh god. Not Sophia. Ash flashed to his true form before flashing back and standing up.

"I'm going to Olympus. I want you to come with me Jess" Ash said. Jess gave Ash a weird look.

"I'm not…"

"I don't care. Right now Sophia needs you. She… she's dead Jess." Ash winced as the pain washed over Jess. "I didn't know, I can't see my hunters anymore, but I can feel it. I can feel Kyl and Kat's grief. Come, I have a plan which might work if things played out right." Jess nodded, his body numb. She couldn't be gone. Ever since he had been moved out to Reno from Mississippi, she had been there for him. They were closer than any other of the Dark-Hunters and as much as it sickened Ash to do this, he was going to use that grief to their advantage. Nick could bring Sophia back, the only question was, will he?

Kat stood sobbing, Sin's arms wrapped tightly around her. Tory winced as a pain shot through her lower back as she watched Kyl sobbing and rocking Sophia's limp body. She turned as she felt a fissure of power behind her. There stood Ash and Jess.

"Soph," Jess said, his heart breaking as he saw her in Kyl's arms. He wanted to hold her, to rock her, but Kyl deserved that privilege. "Oh gods Soph" he said coming to stand beside Kat. Sin set one of his hands on Jess's shoulder and gave it a squeeze.

"It will all work out Jess," Sin said, his words catching in his throat. He would miss Sophia's biting wit and sarcasm that rivaled Kish's. He couldn't even imagine Jess and Kyl's pain. His grip tightened around Kat and he pressed his face into her hair, her scent keeping him somewhat grounded.

Jess dropped to his knees and choked on a sob as he brushed his hand over Sophia's hair and face. She was so cold. Sophia hated being cold. Winter was the worst and everyday she used to call him and complain. He would miss those calls. He slipped his coat off and wrapped it around her frail body.

"You won't be cold anymore, mikrí adelfí. We will keep you warm." He cried as he realized he would never hear her Greek again, not hear stories about how beautiful Greece was and how much she missed her home land. He had once asked her why she didn't go back. She laughed.

"Why would I leave my home and my kaoumpói adelfós?" That was the first time she had called him both cowboy and brother in Greek. She had spent centuries trying to teach him Greek, but all he could say was little sister and cowboy brother.

"Look at the pain you are causing, Nick. You know you have the power to change this. Don't listen to Artemis, listen to yourself. Do you really want to do this to the people you have called family for so long? I know you're angry at me and I will fight you, if that's what you really want, but don't let others suffer. You aren't that kid." Nick snorted.

"You don't know shit about me, God. You made me this kid, not…"

"That's where you're wrong, Nick. The powers of the Malachai should have consumed you, eaten you up whole. You are fighting the evil; you have been since you were fourteen and met Kyrian. You aren't the heartless bastard your father was. You aren't the true Malachai, because deep down you are aching over Sophia's death. Be a better person than I was toward my friend, save her."

"I don't know how."

"Yes you do Nick. Buried deep inside there is a part of you, the part that is the true Malachai, has a handle on your powers. This is going to sound really cheesy, but reach deep within you and you'll know how to save her." Nick nodded once before he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, searching for the part of himself he had fought so hard to keep at bay. Nick opened his hazel blue eyes and watched as they flashed red before returning to the blue color. Ash instantly knew who was in charge. "Help Sophia, please" Ash said, a slight hint of begging in his voice. Nick nodded and moved to Sophia's side.

"Move" he snarled pushing Jess and Kyl away. Kyl wanted to lunge, but he saw Nick holding his hands over Sophia's chest. Everyone saw a white flash and what sounded like thunder before Nick pulled away. Kyl rushed back to Sophia's side and saw that her shirt was no longer bloody.

"Kyl," she muttered, her eyes fluttering open. Kyl pulled her in to his eyes and looked at Nick over her head, as her arms slowly encircled him. 'Thank you' he mouthed to his friend. Nick nodded once before he flashed away. Ash smiled as Kat ripped Soph from Kyl's arms, who was then passed to Sin, Jess, and back to Kyl. Z and Astrid smiled at Ash before they flashed back to their home.

"Let's go home" Tory said as she rubbed her stomach. Ash frowned at her.

"What's wrong Sota?" Tory grimaced as the others stood, Sophia still wrapped in Kyl's arms.

"I think the baby's coming."

Eight hours, a lot of cursing, a passed out Acheron, and Sophia delivering another baby, Tory and Ash welcomed baby Calista Apollymi Parthenopaeus into the world. Sophia stood back as the small family intercepted calls from Were-, Dream-, and Dark-Hunters as well as squires and the few humans who had their phone number. The tears welled in her eyes. The baby was born and her job was done. Now it was time for her to return to Reno. The only question was whether she would be going back alone or whether she had gained a new squire.

AN: Alright so Sophia is alive and I have a plan for the rest of the story, well actually I have two plans, but I haven't decided which one I'm going to be using. I think there will be two chapters left. The next one wraps up the story and then an epilogue. But I'm off track, Sophie's alive and Ash and Tory had their baby! YAY! Alright, so thanks for reading now please review!
