So I finally agreed to leave my car at my church and drive back with Trent.

Jenks thought it was funny to tease us before we left. "Maybe Rachel should go with Quen, I mean can you two be trusted alone in a car together, we would hate for you to get yourselves killed because you pull over to have sex and got taken by vampires."

Trent did not find it at all amusing.

It was a quiet ride to Trent's and it occurred to me, Jeez I'm going to be having his baby we clearly liked each other loved having sex together, but what are we, like boyfriend and girlfriend now?

I finally glanced at Trent and I could see by the way he kept glancing over at me he was wondering my thoughts, so finally I ventured out to ask, "Trent now what? I mean what am I to you now?"

He glanced at me quickly then back to the road, clearly confused by my questions, "Your everything to me Rachel."

Huh! "No, I mean, well I'm having your baby, and we clearly like each other, so what now?"

"Well we are going back to my place and I thought you could have a snack and then you should take a nap. I would like to to stay at my place as much as possible."

"No! My God"

Trent took another glance at me, "What no snack, still not feeling good?"

"Are you purposely doing this Kalamack or do you really not have a clue."

He just shook his head "I have no clue. What is it you want me to say?"

"It's not what I want you to say, it's what do you want?"

Shaking his head again he said "I have no clue what you are looking for here. Let me try this, what are you asking me? I guess I am not understanding your questions." Trent said sounding frustrated.

He gave me another quick glance. "Hey, why don't we wait until we are back at my place and we can talk about whatever you want. Right now I'm concentrating on driving."

"Fine, yeah whatever." and I turned the radio on, loud and pouted a bit.

Trent took his right hand and grabbed mine as to hold my hand and brought it up to his mouth to lightly brush a kiss on my knuckles. I glanced at him and he gave me a grin, then let go. This brought a tingling sensation up my are and through my body.

Okay so I wouldn't stay mad at him, for now anyways.

Then he reached over and turned the music down a bit "You know what, call Quen and let him know we are being followed, I'd bet its one of your vampire friends."

"Well it's not like they don't know where you live, or where I live. I wonder why they are following us."

Trent glanced at me then back to his rear view mirror "I don't know, maybe just to find an opening attack."

I looked back, "Which car is it."

"My goddess Rachel, how did you ever make it as a runner? Now they probably know we saw them."

"Ah, by facing problems head on, not running and hiding." I said sarcastically.

"Well we are not hiding, but Quen can handle this, that is his job." Trent said with authority.

"Yeah, but Trent if something ever happened to him because of me I would never forgive myself. And its me they are after. The witch that was attacked a few days ago looked like me."

Trent looked at me again with a very annoyed look on his face "Rachel why did you not tell me this?"

"Wasn't important, pull over and stop the car."

"Wasn't important! Of course it was important, and I am not going to pull over, call Quen!" Trent made sure the doors were locked.

I called Quen and explained what was going on. "Quen where are you, ok when you get behind him let me know we'll pull over and we can confront him together."

"What do you mean don't let Trent stop the car? I cannot let you guys handle all my problems for me." Pissed I hung up. Maybe when we got to the gate house and if Trent slowed enough I could jump out of the car.

Almost like Trent knew what I was thinking he slowed far enough down the street so the guards saw him in plenty of time to open the gate without him having to slow too much. Damn he didn't slow enough for me to safely get out of the car. The other car kept going as we drove in.

"Damn it all to the turn Trent. Remember one of the qualities I look for in a guy is someone who will let me do my job and NOT stand in my way. I could have taken him in and maybe this guy would have talked."

"Rachel it's not just about you anymore, or even you and me, you have our children you are carrying, not to mention Lucy and Ray need you around too." Trent match my anger.

"Damn it Trent, I think Quen is following him, he can't fight with a living vampire without back up."

"Quen is very capable, I would not put his life in danger if I didn't think he could handle it, and he usually calls for back up, guaranteed we have men stationed a half a mile in each direction. Quen is good at what he does."

"By the way you need to find someone to head your security team, they will need to work in conjunction with Quen."

"What security?" I asked.

"Yes Rachel a security team, it was all part of you contract, or didn't you bother to read that part?"

"I guess I saw something, but I don't need a whole team."

"Well I bet Jenks and Ivy would agree with me on your need for security, so good luck with that." Trent said with another smirk.

Great even after all that sex we still argued and pushed each others buttons. How were the next few days going to be locked here on his compound.

"Rachel this week on Wednesday I will need for you to attend our monthly board meeting 8:00 PM, you will need a suit, preferably maybe a skirt for this meeting. I will call in some shops so you will not have to go out shopping."

"No, no, no, I will go out and buy something, Ivy and Jenks can go with me."

"Rachel, I don't think that is a good idea."

"Look I am going to be bored out of my mind, if things seem ok by Monday or Tuesday let me go out, if things seem iffy I will let you call your shops, OK."

Trent pulled into his parking garage and one of his spaces. Turned the car off and turned to me. "Fine, we will see."

Trent's phone rang then. "Yes, ah huh, yes, we just parked, okay see you in a few."

"It was Quen and the car slowed, but kept going. We still have a man stationed a 1/2 mile either way in case they come back. Quen got the plate and will run it and if there are any concerns he will contact Edden. It could have been a mistake on my part, but I just don't think so."

I opened the door and got out of the car before Trent could even think to get over to my door. I was still irritated with him.

"So since we are down here would you want to just head over to the labs first?"

Furrowing my brows, "The lab, what for?"

Trent wrapped his arms around me from behind and place both his hands on my belly. "To take a look at my babies." I could hear the smile in his voice. I actually think Trent is happy about all this, I however was still really worried. When word was out everyone would want one or both of my babies. Why did this have to happen to me.

"A-ah okay, sure I guess let's get it over with."

Trent moved along side of me as we began walking. "What's wrong, you really don't sound to happy about this, Rachel you are planning on keeping the babies right?"

"Oh god yes, but well, I just have mixed feelings about all this. Once word gets out everyone will want to get their hands on my...ah, our babies."

Trent stopped then grabbing my hands in his. "These babies have two of the strongest parents with some very powerful friends, we will keep them safe."

"I wish I could be nearly as confident as you."

We continued on to one of the labs, I had never been in this section before.

Trent turned some machines on and had me lay down.

"Umm you need to unbutton you pants and pull them down a bit, or would you like to put a gown on your lower half?"

"Ah, no I'll just pull them down" I had my working leathers back on, always all for saving my skin.

I unbuttoned and unzipped, and inched the pants down near my underwear.

"You may want to pull them down just a little more." Trent said with his ears getting a little pink to them. After all we've done he is getting embarrassed asking me to pull my pants down, so I lowered them some more so most of my panties were showing.

Trent grab a bottle and warned me it will be cold. He globed some gooey stuff in his hand to try to warm it up a bit and slathered it on my belly. It still made me jump. It was still a little cold. Plus I was really nervous, I shouldn't have been, but I could not help it.

Trent took the wand putting it against my belly and started moving it around.

Was Trent wrong, all this and I didn't see anything, or did I, I couldn't really tell.

Trent just stared at the screen, then turned to me, trying to bring the screen a little closer.

"Damn, here Rachel hold this here and I will point out what I am looking at." So I took hold of the wand and Trent leaned over "Look here they are really, really small, in fact any sooner in your pregnancy and I might not even have been able to point them out. But right here see, this, and then again right here. This is it, there they are."

I looked on in wonder. "They are just two little dots, how can you be sure?"

"I've seen a few of these working in the labs, we have many Elf families that come through, usually when they are much further along, knowing their baby would possibly need treatment." Trent just stared at the screen and sighed, then looked at me. "I am so glad I get to have this experience. I always wished I could have been more involved with Lucy, but Ellasbeth took that away from me. I am so happy to share this with you Rachel. These are our children."

Then he reached over and grabbed one of the paper covers to cover up my panties. I thought that a bit strange all of a sudden covering me up, until I heard the swosh of the door opening.

"I thought I would find you guys in here." Quen walked in and went to stare at the screen. "Okay I've been through this, but I still haven't a clue what I am looking at."

Trent pointed out the two little blobs of cells. "So there really are twins. Hmmm. That will be what four children just two and under. I'd say we are going to be busy around here."

Then another swosh of the door. Great now who's here!

"Sa'han, Quen." Jonathan bowed his head slightly at the sight of the two men.

"What was the urgency?"

Quen turned to the other Elf "Alert all the staff that Trenton was followed home. They kept going but we need for everyone to be careful, if any of the household staff wish to stay on the property, they may do so. I will take care of alerting our business Employees."

Johnathan looking deep in thought "Do we have any idea what this may have pertained to?"

"Not yet." Quen lied, well at least I think he lied, it was about me, when there is trouble it is always about me.

Jonathan looked over then taking in the sight of what was going on.

"Rachel."

"Hi Jonathan."

"So it seems you have gotten yourself into a little trouble, I see."

"What do you know about it, oh you mean this." I said glancing at the monitor, I didn't need this now, he was going to be pissed.

"Yeah." I wasn't saying anymore.

Trent glanced at me then Quen. Quen only shrugged like it's up to you.

Trent turned to the freakishly tall Elf and said "Jonathan you may want to sit down."

Jonathan had a look of fear and dropped to his knees in front of Trent. "I am sorry, whatever I did I am sorry. I apologize. I beg your forgiveness."

Trent sat up straighter. "Johnathan please get up."

"No please I will - I will"

"Jonathan get up, what have you done that you are reacting like this for?"

Jonathan glanced back at me then back to Trent "I can only assume it was something I said to your Demon Sa'han."

Trent took a deep breath and let it out slowly at this. "First of all she is not my Demon, and second what did you say to her that may anger me."

"Please stand or go sit in a chair." Frustrated now Trent motioned to one of the chairs near by.

Jonathan got up and cautiously went to sit in the closest chair, that took him a couple of yards away.

"Sa'han is it about what I told her about your visit to see Ms. Withon?"

"Although I wanted to talk with you about that, this is not what I wanted to address with you at the moment, but since you brought it up." Trent stood at that point taking a few steps away.

"I apologize for leading you astray, I had not thought you would look to read so much into my trip to see Ellasbeth. I wanted time to be sure the pieces would fall into place as planned before talking to you and Quen, but my conversation with Ellasbeth was to end our pairing, we are no longer expecting to be married."

Jonathan stood up quickly at that "But Sa'han!"

Trent put his hand up "Please let me explain further, Ellasbeth and I already have a partial contract worked out, we will lead as a united force to join our people.." Trent went on to explain his plans and finished with. "The reason Ellasbeth was so warm towards me when I left is she finally saw me as an alley and not a monster, I gave her freedom to love, and she is grateful, and I've already heard from her, she is going on her first date tonight with a former flame."

"But the reason I really wanted to talk with you now, and I must stress only few people know the facts, so we need to keep this to our selves. Rachel is pregnant, her family does not know yet, and I wish to keep it that way until we can arrange a trip to the West coast to inform them in person."

Jonathan looked perplexed.

"And you have a vested interest in this why, with all due respect Sa'han."

"Jonathan I am the father of Rachel's unborn children."

Jonathan sat back down in the chair then, just looking at Trent, then Quen, and finally me.

"I mean no disrespect, I mean I do not hide the fact I do not like Rachel, but are you sure, I mean how is it possible. Something must have happened with someone else, you are an Elf, she"

He paused "is not an Elf."

"We know all that, but its true, it has happened, Quen is going to look into a spell to help us prove who the father is, I have no doubts at all that I am the father, but I know others will have doubts. And I do not want to wait months until we can do the proper tests. The cells are too small to do any testing at this point to prove who the biological father is. The sooner we can have viable proof the better."

Jonathan looked defeated. "I understand Sa'han, may I be excused? I need to let the staff know of our problem with your being followed."

Trent walked over to the man and put his hand on his shoulder "Yes you may go, but first do not take this as your failure, these were my decisions not yours. You have done more than your part to keep me on track. We have healthy Elven children for the first time in thousands of years, we have accomplished so much."

"Yes, but I have still failed your father." Jonathan bowed his head and left.

Great, he was not going to like me any time soon.

Trent went over grabbed some paper towels and began to wipe the goo off my belly.

Everyone seemed a bit somber then Quen finally brightened up a little. "Well congratulations, and if your theory is right it looks like you will be getting a son. Poor little guy with three sisters."

My god four children two and under. Crap on toast I didn't know what to expect, would I carry nine months, would I carry like a witch or a demon, and how did it work with demons. I was torn about talking with Al about this, last thing I want is the collective leaning of this.

Maybe I would talk with Trent about this.

"Well I better check in with security, see if there has been any movement on our friend, and see if they have tracked the license plate." Quen started to walk away.

"Quen, Ah let me know what you find out, ok?" I asked.

"Of course Rachel, but you need some rest and need not worry about this now." He walked back over and kissed me on the forehead.

This brought tears burning my eyes, threatening to fall, I guess I didn't realize how much I felt I needed for Quen's approval with this.

I grabbed his hand and gave a squeeze "Thank you Quen."

He gave me a quick squeeze back and said "Of course Rachel."

Quen left with a swosh of the doors.

I scooted up to pull my leathers back up to button and zip them.

Then jumped off the table as Trent put the items we used away and disposed the other items. "So," he said as he was in the midst of cleaning up. "What was it you wanted to know?"

"Hmm?" Now I was at a loss.

"In the car? What were you asking me?"

Well now in my head this all seemed childish in the scheme of things.

"Well, I guess I was wondering what now, I mean where do we stand with all this?"

"If I understand your question I thought that seemed clear." Trent motioned for us to leave.

Walking through the halls to bring us to the elevator to the main apartments.

"Well its clear I am going to have a baby or babies, but what about us?"

"Goddess Rachel, I am not good at this, I haven't really dated much what do you suggest?

"Well are we like a couple now? Are we exclusive?" I asked.

"Well yeah I thought we are kind of together now, it seemed pretty clear to me that we have a little attraction going here." Trent smiled a little at that.

Then with a more serious look. "And of course it has to be exclusive! Rachel I don't share well." He added.

"okay so are you like my boyfriend now?"

"I guess so, yeah, if you agree that is what you want as well. Although the terms boyfriend, girlfriend sound a little immature to me. But yes I guess I would like you to be my girlfriend."

Trent looked a little worried, waiting for some kind of response from me.

"Yes I would like that." I smiled at him.

Smiling back he said. "Now let's go find Maggie and get you a snack and then you are off to bed. I have some work to do while you nap. I had a full afternoon of meetings that I now have to apologize for canceling last-minute. Poor Sara Jane."

Great so he left the office to chase after me, even with a full schedule for the afternoon.
