One month later. One week before the wedding date.
We had one more week until our wedding date. The plans were going well, my mom was here helping. It seemed mostly like my mom and Trent making most of the plans.
Trent walked up to me hugging me from behind placing his hands on my belly. Two months pregnant and I already can see my belly starting to swell. Trent assures me you can't even tell, but my working leathers are too tight to ware. Of course Trent said they were too tight to begin with.
"Rachel were you looking at your belly again? I like your little bump. You can't even tell when your dressed. You will never even be able to tell next week."
I frowned. "Your just saying that."
"I am not, give it a few more weeks and then it will probably noticeable." Trent said with a little chuckle and kissed my neck.
"Mmmm, maybe you should stop that. I should make you wait until our wedding night."
Trent turned me around then. " What for?" He asked.
"To make sure it's a special night." I said.
"Rachel, I don't know about you but it still feels pretty special to me. And..." Trent trailed off as he kissed my neck."I don't think you would be able to hold out on me any more than I could." He moved his kisses to my mouth.
There was a soft knock on the door.
"Yes?" Trent said with mild frustration. Who was I kidding, I know he's right, there is no way I would be able to resist his advances. In fact I couldn't wait to get him alone tonight never mind wait a whole week.
"It's me dear. Lucy is having trouble falling asleep and wanted to say goodnight again.
"Come in." Trent said.
My mom walked in with Lucy. Trent walked over. "Lucy are you giving grandmama trouble going to bed?"
Lucy looked down with a shy look. "No." But I could see the grin on her face, she knew she was playing us. My mom loved being around the girls and they loved her.
Robbie and his wife would be here in a few days. I still have not been able to meet my sister-in-law yet.
Ellasbeth her parents and her boyfriend would be here two days before the wedding. Stanley his wife and child would be coming in tomorrow. Trent's was going to get crowded fast.
"Rachel are you worried about your fitting again?" My mother asked.
"Yes, mom. My clothes are getting tighter around the middle, I'm afraid they are going to have to let the dress out."
"Oh Rachel, it will be fine. Tell her Trenton."
Trent let out a little laugh. "Trust me I already did. She won't listen to me. She thinks I am just trying to keep on her good side. As it is she wants to make me wait until our wedding night for sex."
Oh he so did not need to tell my mother that.
My mother laughed. "Isn't it a little late to hold out on him now , I mean come Rachel sweetheart your already pregnant." She laughed.
"Good night Lucy." I said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Good night mama, good night daddy."
Lucy furrowed her brows. "When am I getting another sister?"
Trent laughed. "Lucy there will two babies and there could be a brother."
Lucy shook her head no. "I don't want one of them, just another sister."
Lucy was very quick to adjust to my staying here with them, although technically I still haven't officially moved in, but I have not spent a night in the church since that first night after we realized I was pregnant.
"So what time is your Dr. Appointment tomorrow?" My mom asked
"11:00." Trent answered for me. "We hope to confirm Rachel is carrying a boy and a girl."
Trent was still very sure that our children would be a male Elf and a female day walking demon like me.
The next day we headed down to the labs to see my Dr. I was laying on the table and the Dr. Put the cold gel on my belly. He began moving the wand around looking. Trent stood looking over the Doctor's shoulders .
Okay, yes here and here. They are still relatively small, but that is common with twins.
I really don't like trying to determine the sex of an infant this early on, but well look right here, this looks like a boy, this one is hard to tell, but might be a girl.
The Doctor started printing out pictures. He brought them over to try help me understand what I was looking at.
I looked at Trent and his eyes were teary. I grabbed his hand, after already having two girls he really wanted a little boy too.
Trent cleared his throat, I think he was getting choked up. "How long before we can run test to know what species and if any treatments are need on the babies?"
"Actually you are just beyond eight weeks so I would like to do blood work now, if you don't mind. The proteins and changes in your blood should help us determine, of course if you really are carrying two species it could present a challenge and a little further testing, but we are up for the challenge."
"How long for the results?" Trent asked.
"For you Mr. Kalamack give me two or three days, you will know before your wedding."
"Great, not not it matters, but I am curious. Thank you"
The Dr. Walked away to go get what he needed for the blood work.
Trent look at me then and walked closer. He leaned over and kissed my forehead. "Goddess I love you Rachel. I'm going to have a little boy."
"I heard." I said with a smile.
Trent sat on the edge of the table and took my hand. "You know I was so angry with my father at first for his extra tinkering he did, and I admit I still think he should have left you as you were, but as you know I'm a selfish bastard and am so happy at the out come of what he did. It didn't do you any harm and it is allowing me to have more children with Someone I love. Rachel when I broke it off with Elizabeth because I wanted to be with you I thought I Would never have any more children."
"I know." I said, but it was hard to not get emotional seeing him like this. Who ever that this Elf that I had always thought of as a cold-hearted murdering bastard could be loving, emotional and my god romantic. The plans he and my mother were making for the wedding sounded like out of a fairy tale.
"Hey, thought I would come check on you guys." Quen said.
Trent turned to Quen. "There is definitely a boy and the other he thinks is a girl. The Dr. said we could start the blood work today."
"Congratulations."Quen said pulling Trent in for a manly hug.
The Dr. made it back with a needle and tubes for the blood. I couldn't help but think , how much blood do they need?
As he began working on my arm the Dr. began explaining again. "We should have the results to help us determine the species in two or three days tops. From there we will need to determine how much treatment is needed for any Elven children. If one child is truly demon, I am not sure if any treatment will be needed , unless we see the presence of Rosewood. Now Rachel I know you were treated for Rosewood as a child. The treatment today can start while you are carrying usually as long as it does not have a negative impact on your other child. If we feel the children being treated in the womb pose any negative effect on the other fetus we will need to wait until birth to begin the treatment. Now this is nothing to worry about. Our treatments are 100%. So there is no need to worry."
"Okay Miss Morgan you are all set for now. I'd like to see you again by Wednesday, we should have the results by then."
The three of us left the Dr. Office together. Trent and Quen needed to get back to the office.
Quen glanced at me. "You know Rachel you will be getting some of the treatment you wanted to have Trent arrested for. All of this is due to the bio-drugs he and his family worked so hard to develop."
I took a deep breath. "I know."
Trent stayed quiet.
Quen turned to Trent. "I'm off to check with the security team, see you two later."
Yes many times I felt like an idiot . Trent really did try to help people, yes he was ruthless at one time and would kill anyone that got in his way, but he was trying to do a good thing for his species.
"Rachel, I'm sorry about Quen's comment." Trent said turning to me.
"No, it's fine, I was ignorant. At the time I thought taking you down was my best option to get the IS off my back."
"Rachel, it does not matter. If you didn't seek me out as you had things may have been different. I truly believe it was fate, we were meant to be together."
We smiled at each other than Trent checked his watch. I need to get back to the office. I have a lot to do this week, and Lee will be here later today.
"Great, not sure if I'm looking forward to that." I said.
"I think he's learned not to mess with me. Anyways just threaten to sick you demon on him and he might piss his pants. Al really put some fear into him."
"Oh no, Trent Al is going to be at the wedding, I told him to stay away from Quen, but I didn't even think about Lee."
"Lee is a big boy he can take care of himself."
Wednesday on our way back to the Dr. We were stopped by Jonathan. "Sa'han, Rachel." He bowed his head to Trent.
"We've finally determined were the Elven strain in Rachel's DNA came from. It was taken from the Withon's line."
Trent shook his head. "Good, that is good, they have a fairly pure line. Thank you Jonathan for your diligence on this. We are off to the Dr. Would you like to come see my babies?"
Jonathan looked at me, unsure how to answer.
"I don't care." I said with a shrug of my shoulders.
"Okay." He said with hesitation.
I got up one the table, this was starting to feel routine to me.
"Okay, I do have some results back." He said as he started the the cold goop .
"The results aren't as clear as I hoped, and that maybe because I am not as familiar with witches and even less so with demons. There is definitely an Elven fetus, I can tell the Elf is not full blooded, which makes sense. Now as for the other child, my best guess is they match your normal lineage very closely, but it is hard to tell exactly. As for the traits we look for within Elven fetuses that need treatment the levels are actual fairly low, so some treatment will be needed, but not as much as some I've seen. But we want to watch things closely, weekly blood tests."
We were all watching the monitor with the nine week old fetuses. I glanced at Jonathan and saw him looking at the screen in wonder. Maybe Trent knew what he was doing inviting him down with us.
We finished up and this time the Dr. was sure that the other baby would be a girl.
