Chapter 50

Ana

Waking the next day she could feel a slight ache from making love the night before she had lost count of how many times they had made love he had woke her many times in the night kissing her naked body. The memories of last night made her ache for more of him but when she reached over for him he was gone.

Walking down the stairs after a quick shower and change she went in search of Christian. reaching the kitchen after checking the other rooms she heard not just him but Artemis.

"What happened after we left last did you find out who she is and what she wants?" Christian sounded angry and worried it made Ana stop so that she could hear what was being said knowing that if she walked in now he would stop talking in his efforts to protect her.

"No I was trying to be discreet in the room so that I didn't draw any attention from anyone. So I followed her outside but by the time I got there she had obviously shimmered away the stench of death still lingered in the air but she was no where to be found. All I know is she isn't Sam. Whoever Sam was she is gone now and I have no idea who is inside her.

At the mention of Sam's name Ana walked in the kitchen both of them stopped talking and turned around looking guilty. "What's happened to Sam?" Ana couldn't help the tears that filled her eyes she had worked with Sam for years the thought of anything happening to her was heart breaking.

When no one spoke she asked again. "Christian what's happened to Sam?" He walked over to her reaching out to hug her to him but she needed him to tell her what was going on so she stepped back out of his reach. Taking a deep breathe he dropped his hands down to his side and pulled out a seat for her to sit on which she took.

"Ana I'm so sorry but Sam whoever she was, it's not her anymore. Someone has took her form which means the person she once was is gone. I'm so sorry baby I figured it out last night but I didn't want to ruin the day for you when nothing could be done so I kept quiet. Artemis has known for a while that something was of about her but didn't know what it was. She went after her last night when we left to try and find out who she was but she was gone before she could question her."

He was on his knees in front of her holding her hands in one of his and wiping her tears with the other. She couldn't speak she was just looking at the floor. One of her friends was dead and had been for a while and she had no idea.

"How long do you think she has been dead for and why would someone do that to her she was my friend." She could hear how broken she sounded and knew from hearing Christians thoughts how hard it was for him to hear her so hurt and upset but she just couldn't be strong.

"I don't know how long exactly but it's not to long and I suspect that this happened to her to get close to you. I'm so so sorry baby." When he had finished talking something hit her.

"She was around our babies, My nieces and nephew she has been around my entire fucking family." She was no longer upset now she was raging. This bitch had not only took someone's life that Ana considered a close friend. She had also been around her family people she loved more than her own life.

"How do we find her and who she really is?" She hadn't realised that she was now stood up with her hands fisted at her side. Christian was stood in front of her with pride clear on his face.

"We are looking for her, she knows we know that she isn't who she is pretending to be. So we need to find her now more than ever before she can take another form." It was Artemis that said this.

"Ok we need to make sure that my family are all protected. She can't get near any of them." Christian walked up to her and held her face in his hands she couldn't look away from his beautiful eyes.

"Ana we have everyone being watched and kept safe so please don't worry. Your Mom is looking after Ray, Apollo is with Kate, Izzy and the Children are being watched by Abaddon and Benji is being watched by Sathanas. I have Belphegor, Mammon and Leviathan doing a few things in preparation for the coronation. Once they have finished they will be joining Abaddon. Until they do he is under strict instruction to call for me if anything happens."

As he finished speaking Beal and Huldah shimmered in with the twins who instantly reached out for her and Christian. As they passed the babies of to them Huldah shimmered out. Ana looked to Beal concerned "Is she ok?" He smiled and nodded.

"I will be right back could you have some of the crackers and the tea she has been drinking all morning ready for her please." He smiled as he left.

Ana glamoured the crackers and tea not wanting to put Theo down she had missed the twins so much and right now with Theos head rested on her shoulder his little hand stroking her face nothing would ever make her want to put him down. She looked over to see Abigail smiling at her Daddy squeezing his cheeks and repeatedly kissing his nose. Abigail's hair was now down her back in tight curls that bounced every time she moved.

She walked over to kiss her Daughter no matter what happens or who the children preferred to be held by she always wanted them to know that they were loved equally. "Hi sweetheart did you have fun at Grammie's and Grandpops last night? " Abigail smiled and reach for Ana's face before nodding. She was clearly going to be the more dominant out of the twins. Theo was always the quiet smiling baby who just seemed to watch everything but Abigail was always bouncing around playfully with a little attitude.

As Christian leaned in to kiss Theo's head who had fallen asleep still stroking Ana's face Beal and Huldah shimmered back in he was trying to hold her but she was shrugging him of. "Don't touch me, you did this and now you are trying be all loving, while I puke my Guts up. Nope sorry you and I will NEVER have S.E.X EVER AGAIN." Ana had to hide her smile in Theo's wavy hair as Christian turned around so that they couldn't see him fighting the urge to laugh.

"Here's hoping this pregnancy goes as fast as Ana's because I swear I can't do this much longer. I have been throwing up all morning." She grabbed the tea and crackers before walking in the to the front room everyone following behind her as she rambled on.

"Did you get sick like this Ana?" Ana was just about to answer when Huldah carried on with her rant. "I swear it sucks Why do women have to deal with this S.H.I.T all because you men decide you want a baby. I mean don't get me wrong I'm looking forward to having the baby but this part is a joke and then we have to push them out and get huge and I am so over this already." She had sat down with a huff. Ana was openly smiling as she sat next her.

"First of all I would like to say thank you for spelling out the curse words so that little ears don't pick up on them. Secondly congratulations to you both on being pregnant and thirdly yes morning sickness does suck as does the pain of labour but believe me when you hold your baby for the first time you will forget all of this."

While Ana had been speaking Huldah had been looking at Theo stroking his hair when she looked up she realised that Huldah was crying. "Sweetie what's wrong?" Beal was next to her in seconds his arms quickly wrapped around her as she cried on his shoulder.

"I'm so miserable everything makes me sick apart from the tea and crackers. I miss coffee." She sat up straight and turned to Ana grabbing her free hand. "Do you think it will go as fast as yours did I mean its only been a couple of days since he did this to me." At this she pointed her thumb at Beal with out looking at him who just smiled indulgently at her. "So we know it's going fast because humans don't get morning sickness this quickly so it could go as fast as yours did right?" She looked so hopeful Ana could only agree with her not wanting to disappoint or upset her again. Seeing Huldah cry was not something she ever wanted to see again. Huldah was always so happy and full of life seeing her like this was heart breaking.

They were sat Huldah still holding Ana's hand when Huldah's eyes started to swirl and her head went back. She had no other expression on her face to indicate if what she was seeing was good or bad. They sat impatiently waiting for her to come out of her vision, when she did she looked at Ana her face serious. "Someone's coming he wanted me to warn you knowing that you have new enemies he didn't want to startle you but he is coming to see you."

"Who is? who's coming?" She felt a little scared as Huldah looked behind Christian and nodded her head. Ana turned in time to see who she was talking about.

Everyone turned around Artemis looking like she was ready to fight who ever came. Christian handing Abigail to Ana then moving to stand in front of her just as Zeus appeared in front of them all.

He looked around the room smiling "Relax Artemis I pose no threat as you all know. I am simply here to congratulate you both on your nuptials and to inform Ana the Coronation will be tomorrow you need to ready yourself my dear" His voice echoed around the room waking Theo who sat up and looked at Zeus with the most blinding smile she had ever seen from him.

Zeus looked from Theo to Abigail who was reaching her arms out to him. He walked towards Ana and the twins but Christian stepped in front stopping Zeus from getting closer. "Lucifer you know I will not harm any of you. Move so that I may see your greatest creation's, who seem just as eager to meet the reason their mother is here."

Christian reluctantly stood back allowing Zeus to see the twins. He placed his hands on top of their little heads smiling down at them. "My, they are very very powerful little beings aren't they. This world is so much better with them in it." He held his hands out to Abigail who was now opening and closing her hands wanting to go to him. Ana didn't want to let her go but Abigail had other plans as she shimmered herself into his hands making him let out a laugh that boomed around the room.

"You are going to be a lot to handle for your parents aren't you princess?" She was bouncing up and down in his arms. Before Ana could react or do anything Theo shimmered out of her arms straight into Zeus's as well. She stood wanting to be ready if he did anything to them. She didn't care who he was she would fight anyone who hurt her family.

"Calm yourself my Queen I mean you and your family no harm so please step back and stop thinking of ways to end my life it's incredibly insulting. You to Lucifer when I call her my Queen it is simply because that is what she is but I do not think of her as mine. My you two are very highly strung aren't you. You need to learn to relax we are practically family after all.

He was speaking to them but his eyes were on the twins. "It would seem your little prince is as sceptical as you both are though he is also intrigued to know who I am. The only reason he is in my arms is because he wants to protects his sister. isn't that right little one?" He nodded his head and smile.

"Don't worry I won't hurt either of you, you are very safe with me. Ana the twins will need to be in attendance tomorrow." This snapped Ana out of her silence.

"Why do they have to be there?" She was not happy about this at all and judging by the expression on Christian's face neither was he.

"Ana tomorrow you will come into A LOT of power as will your children. They will share some of the power that will be given to you. I need them to be as strong as their parents if they are to survive this world. After tomorrow you will have many enemies or I should say many more enemies. I have heard of this new threat to your family." He looked up at her before continuing.

" I am going to give you a choice tomorrow with regards to your family but not before the coronation." She was confused and scared about what was going to happen to the twins.

"What choice are you talking about? And I need to know if the twins will be in any pain and will all of our future children have to go through the same thing I won't let them be in pain Zeus." He smiled at her shaking his head.

"Calm down they won't be hurt I fear for your sanity once they have been given more power though. "He was laughing again making Abigail bounce up and down with excitement Theo just watched her with a small smile on his face.

"In answer to your other questions no your future children won't have to go through this because they will receive the power when they are still in your womb it may make pregnancy different for you next time but we can't know that for sure until it happens. As for the choice I will be giving you as I said you will find out tomorrow but not before the coronation."

"Will tomorrow be safe for the twins will there be any threats that we should be prepared for?" Christian had stepped forward as he spoke.

"Lucifer..." Christian cut him of before he could say what he was about to say.

"Zeus with all due respect I prefer to be called Christian here." Zeus shrugged his shoulders before carrying on.

"Well Christian no there will not be any threats the Gods do not want any harm to come to Ana or your children. I should inform you though that just because you have changed your name it doesn't change the fact that you are still Lucifer and therefore you will not be given permission to attend the coronation. I'm sorry." Ana stepped forward rage building inside her.

"Then I won't be going I am not going anywhere alone with my Children to a place that My husband and their father is forbidden to go. You need to figure out a way for him to be there."

"Ana you seem to think you have a choice in this. You are Queen it is your coronation your presence isn't just expected it is demanded you will be there as will your children." She was so pissed of now she could feel herself shaking and her body changing. She walked towards him and watched as he smiled at her.

When she reached him she removed the twins from his arms handing them over to Christian who then handed them to Beal and Huldah who had watched everything is silence. Stepping up to Zeus getting in his face she spoke in a low controlled tone.

"You need to figure out how to have my husband there tomorrow or I WILL choose not to be there and I WILL choose not to have my children there. You forget Zeus my husband is my King. He will rule by my side, he will protect this world by my side, and he will watch my coronation BY MY FUCKING SIDE." Throughout this whole speech she had changed into her full goddess form her wings wide open at her back. Zeus had watched it happen with a smile on his face that got bigger with every change his eyes wide as he looked at her.

"You are more incredible than I could ever imagine and so brave for one so young. I definitely made the right choice." He looked over to Christian before talking again. "You are a very lucky man indeed. You both will be such a force of power that even I would be reluctant to upset you." He laughed as he stood back a little.

"Very well my Queen I will make some changes and no doubt piss of the gods if I'm to make room for your King. There is much to do I will be back to collect you all tomorrow your Mother's presence is requested so make sure she is here." He looked over to Huldah smiling down at her stomach. "Congratulations my dear you will make a wonderful Mother. Beal take good care of her she is incredibly special." With that he was gone.
