Sawyer screamed as another contraction ripped through her. She felt tears coming down her cheeks and knew that it was too late. Her little innocent babies were going to be born and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She turned when she heard the door open to the room again. She watched as her mother walked forward the candle moving slowly. She hissed in anger and lashed out. She used her ability and sent her mother flying into the far wall. She heard the crash and the candle fell and went out. Sawyer rested her head against the wall and smiled when she heard her mother moan in pain.

"Are you stupid? I am the only one that can help you!" Eve screamed in pain.

"I don't care I am not going to let you anywhere near my children!" Sawyer yelled back. She moaned when she felt another contraction rip through her. She knew that she was running out of time. She couldn't keep using her powers and keep her mother away for long. She needed Eric there with her; she prayed he was on his way. She didn't know how long she could hold out.

Eric stopped when he saw Alcide stop. They were out in the middle of nowhere just over the border in Texas. Eric looked around and saw what looked like nothingness that was around them. He watched as Alcide transformed back into human form just as Jessica joined them. Jessica looked away from Alcide's naked body.

"What is it?" Eric asked looking at Alcide.

"The scent ends here," Alcide said shocked, "But there is nothing around here."

"Could you be wrong?" Jessica asked hearing Hoyt drive up in his truck.

"My nose is never wrong."

"Why are we stopping?" Hoyt asked climbing out of his truck and looking at the three supernatural beings.

"Alcide's nose is broken," Jessica said smirking.

"How did that happen?" Hoyt asked looking at Eric. He didn't want to say anything but he knew that if Alcide's nose was broken it had probably been Eric who had done it.

"My nose is not broken. The scent is just... It's here but it's not."

"That does not make sense," Eric stated raking his hands thru his hair. He closed his eyes and tried to sense Sawyer again.

Jessica turned and looked around the area where they were standing. She didn't anything around in the direct area. She turned and looked over the way they had come again. She stopped and saw behind Hoyt's truck that they had passed an old farmhouse and rotting out building about a mile back. She turned and looked at Eric and Alcide.

"Would you still smell her if she was underground?" Jessica asked walking up to them.

"Why would she be underground?" Eric demanded.

"The farmhouse," Hoyt said turning back, "Some of these old abandoned houses were used for the underground railroad. Some of them have hidden cellars and tunnels under them. She could be in one of those."

Eric turned to Alcide and looked at him, "If she was underground could you still smell her?"

Alcide looked around and nodded, "If she wasn't that far down, I could. It has never happened before but there is a first time for everything."

"Well, if dogs can smell dead bodies I guess you could too, right?" Jessica added earning her a dirty look from the werewolf. She shrugged and smiled at him. She turned and saw that Eric had a smirk on his face.

"Let's head back to the farmhouse and search it for a cellar or tunnel," Eric said turning and beginning to race towards the farm. He hoped that Sawyer was there and that Hoyt was right. He needed her to be alright; he needed to save her.

Sawyer felt water trickle down her leg and knew that her water had broken. She grabbed a hold of the chains with her hands and squeezed them tight as she felt another sharp pain cut across her lower half. She didn't know how far apart her contractions were because she had no way of telling the time. She ignored her mother in the corner cursing and moaning about her arm and head. Sawyer was pretty sure that she had broken her mother's arm but she didn't really care at the moment. She closed her eyes and bit her lip from screaming again. She blinked away the tears and tried to stay calm but the truth was she was scared and freaking out.

She jumped when she heard a pounding sound. She opened her eyes and tried to see in the almost dark to see if it was her mother trying to scare her more. She didn't see any movement coming from the corner where her mother's cries had been coming from. She heard the pounding noise again and then a crash. She blinked as suddenly a bright light filled the room and she realized that it was from a flashlight. She heard Eve's curses and knew that someone had found them.

"Help! Over here!" Sawyer yelled wishing that her voice wasn't so hoarse from screaming in pain. She watched as a figure came thru the hole in the wall. A moment later the figure was by her side holding her hand. She let more tears fall as she realized that the cool hand that held hers belonged to Eric.

"Shh, I am here, Vacker," he told her reaching out and stroking her hair softly.

"My water broke, Eric. The twins are going to be born now. It's too early," Sawyer cried relieved that her lover and partner was there with her now.

Eric sat there and didn't know what to say to her. He turned and saw Eve trying to sneak away. Alcide grabbed her arm and yanked her back into the room. Jessica and Hoyt came over to Sawyer's side. Eric looked at Eve and knew that he needed to take care of her. He leaned down and kissed her on the head softly.

"I need to take care of your mother. Jessica and Hoyt will watch over you for now. I will be back," Eric told her softly feeling her squeeze his hand tight.

"Come back soon. Our children and I need you," Sawyer told him letting go of his hand. She didn't want to but she knew that she had too. She wanted Eric to take care of her mother; she wanted him to end her. She felt Eric kiss her head again and then a moment later she heard her mother screaming as Eric pulled her out of the room. She turned when Jessica took her hand.

"It's going to be okay, Sawyer," Jessica tried to reassure her.

"I hope you're right, Jess but right now," Sawyer let more tears fall, "I am not so sure. I am so scared."

Jessica held Sawyer's hand then looked at Alcide and Hoyt. It would be up to them to keep Sawyer calm while Eric dealt with Eve. Jessica felt Sawyer squeeze her hand as another contraction ripped thru her friend. Jessica hoped that Eric would rip Eve to shreds for doing this top Sawyer.

Eric dragged Eve up the short ladder not caring as she screamed as her legs hit every rung of the ladder. He smelt the blood in the air and knew that Eve's knees were probably torn to shreds. He smiled and dragged Eve out of the farmhouse. Half of the walls were falling down and the other half were completely gone; it was the perfect hide out for Eve and her group. Eric dragged her out into the middle of the yard and let her fall on the ground. He stood back and watched as she got to her feet. He backhanded her across the face and she flew two feet away and landed hard on the ground. Eric smiled wider as he heard a couple bones snap. He walked towards Eve slowly. He knew that he didn't have very much time to do everything he had thought of doing to her but he had enough time to make her death painful.

"It doesn't matter what you do to me, what is done is done. Sawyer's brats are going to die like my Finn," Eve said coughing up blood. She pushed herself up on her knees and looked up at him. She smiled knowing that Eric was not going to get to live happily ever after with Sawyer. And in the end that was all that mattered to her.

"I will not let my children die. I am going to save them and they will live. They will live while you will be rotting here in the ground," Eric answered kneeling down and looking in her eyes.

"She doesn't really love you. Sawyer can't love anyone. I learnt that a long time ago."

"You're wrong," Eric wrapped his hand around Eve's neck, "She can love. She can love with everything she has. Sawyer was just smart enough not to love you."

Eric squeezed gently at first. He watched as Eve's eyes widened and her breathe became shallow. He tightened his hold slowly and watched as the veins began to pop in her eyes. Eve's hands came up and started to scratch his face and she tried to kick him but Eric just held on and squeezed tighter. Eve's muffled cries went suddenly quiet and then Eric squeezed harder and heard the bones in Eve's neck break. He tossed Eve down on the ground and stood up. He looked down at the body of the women who had tortured and caused his lover so much pain. He kneeled down again and looked at Eve.

"I will not let you win," he whispered before walking away; he was going to keep his promise and he was going to leave her body there to rot. He didn't care enough to try to hide her body. Sawyer needed him at the moment and he was not going to waste another moment on Eve.

Sawyer rested her head on Alcide's chest and screamed again. Hoyt had used his watch and timed the contraction; they were about ten minutes apart. Sawyer knew that she needed to start pushing on the next one but she wanted Eric there with her. She looked up and suddenly he was by her side. She turned and looked at him and grabbed his hand tight. She stared into his blue eyes and let a tear fall.

"You save them," she stated not caring about what happened to her. She wanted Eric to do everything he could to make sure that her children lived; she needed them to at least have a chance.

"I will save them. Jessica, move," Eric said looking at Jessica who had placed herself between Sawyer's legs. She gladly moved and let Eric take her place. Eric looked down and saw the head of one of the twins. He looked up and saw Sawyer looking at him, "Vacker, push," he stated softly.

Sawyer looked at Eric and nodded. She grabbed Alcide and Jessica's hands and pushed as hard as she could. She screamed in pain and prayed that everything would be alright. She took a slow breath and stopped pushing. She closed her eyes and focused all her energy on giving birth to her children. She pushed again twice as hard as before. She stopped when she heard a low soft cry. She opened her eyes and looked at Eric. He took Hoyt's shirt and wrapped up the tiny baby. Sawyer's watched and yearned for her child to move; it didn't.

"Jessica, give the boy your blood," Eric ordered handing the child to Jessica, "And then Hoyt, hold the baby close to you. It needs warmth and the best kind is body heat."

"Yes sir."

"Eric-," Sawyer started.

"Vacker, our son is going to be alright. Believe that."

Eric saw the tears in Sawyer's eyes and then her reluctant nod. He glanced over and saw Jessica holding her wrist against his son's mouth. Eric felt something inside of him swell with love when he had that thought; his son. He was now the father of a beautiful baby boy. He looked away from his son and focused on Sawyer and the second child that was to be born. He heard Sawyer breath and then her teeth grinding together as she pushed again. He tried to focus on that and not the soft sounds of his son sucking on Jessica's wrist. He then heard Hoyt take the baby in his arms and cuddle him close. Eric looked down and saw the head of the second child he would be a father too. He looked up and looked at Sawyer. She met his eyes and he saw determination.

"One more," he said.

Sawyer nodded and pushed again. She screamed and felt her body push her child out. She felt Alcide hold her up and she opened her eyes and looked at Eric. He was holding the child and wrapping it in his own shirt but the baby didn't cry. Tears began to roll down her cheeks and Sawyer no long cared about the pain that was going through her body. She watched as Eric bit his wrist and held it to the baby's mouth.

"Eric?" she asked her voice filled with worry.

"It is a girl, Sawyer. We have a daughter," he said looking up at her. Sawyer saw the blood tears in his eyes and it moved her down to her core. She knew that he loved her children and she never had to fear for their safety with him.

"Is she alright?"

"She will be," Eric pulled his wrist away wishing that the tiny baby girl would have sucked more of his blood. He looked at Alcide," the child will need your body heat. Jessica, go and drive the truck closer. Get it as close as you can."

"Alright."

Sawyer felt Alcide rest her back against the wall. She watched as Eric handed their daughter to Alcide. She felt dizzy and then she felt Eric shaking her. She heard him telling her to stay awake then to drink his blood but she couldn't. Her world went black and her last thought was about her children and a whispered prayer that they would make it.
