Thade182: Hold your horses woman! Don't get your knickers in a twist. I've updated, I've updated!! Don't kill me. LOL. Glad you liked that last chappie, I hope you like this one as well. In another few chapters more, it'll be finished, or should I write more?
Awww, no fair. You got a teddy stitch. I want one. I think stitch is cute. My mum thinks he looks like a gremlin, that's why she won't watch it. LOL.
My dad gave me the idea of Nila having a twin brother, so I put him in. yeah it is kinda creepy though. ;)
Thea101: Ha, ha. I invented cliff-hangers, so nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. ::Sticks out tongue:: well here's the next part, since I love you guys, I'll give you think next, but it's almost finished though.
Yeah I can tell your hyper, I got your review when you posted it, I just couldn't type out the next part, because it was late and I was chased outta my li'l brother's room (where the computer is), so I couldn't update. And I couldn't do it yesterday, because I was lying in bed with the flu (which is come back, it was just lying dormant. It's a good thing I get outta tech at half twelve on a Monday isn't it?) Feel my pain. Anywho, here's part 7, hope you like it.
(J) "Come on woman, don't leave the fans of this story on the edge of their seats."
(M) "So sorry Judith. But I like them hanging on the edge of their seats."
(J) "Meanie. You're a meanie Medusa. Meanie Medusa, that's what I'm going to call you from now on."
(M) "Shut up Elfy."
(J) "Why you little…"
(M) "Uh, uh, uh Judith. ::Shakes finger:: you don't want to start. Here you go kiddies, I hope you like this part?"
A/N: Elfy is the name my friend calls me, because he says I look like an elf, apparently I have pointy ears, which I've never noticed before myself. ::Looks into middle distance thoughtfully:: and besides, I call him Blondie. ;) No offence to anyone who's blond.
**************************** PART 7 *************************************
"My…what?" I gasp out between labour pains.
"I. Am. Your. Twin. Brother. Did you get it that time?" He says every word slowly and precisely.
"I got it the first time around. But how?" I demand.
"You mean to tell me that father didn't explain the birds and the bees to you?" he asks, shocked.
"No, he didn't. But Ellette did." I reply dryly, gasping in pain again.
"Who the hell is Ellette?" Niran-Nyoka asks.
"Ellette is my stepmother." I reply. "I don't have a twin. I only have two half brothers, and a half baby sister."
"No, you're wrong there sis." He says. "By the way, it's just Nyoka. I couldn't be bothered with the Niran part."
"Niran-Nyoka." I start. "Niran is Thai for Eternal, and Nyoka is African for Snake. Eternal Snake. It suits you."
"It does doesn't it?" Nyoka replies, smirking.
"Like I said, I don't have a twin. My mother abandoned me when I was three, I would have known if I had a twin." I point out.
Nyoka chuckles. "Mother give me to her maid Delia to look after. Mother didn't want a daughter she wanted a son. That's why she abandoned you, and father brought you up. Mother hated you but she loved me. And you killed her!" Nyoka hisses that last sentence like the snake he is. "She knew you were going to bare the Dark Prince, she wanted to see her grandson kill you. Now that you killed her, I am going to take the pleasure in watching your own offspring kill you."
I scream when a huge contraction hits me harder than the others.
"Kill me!" I scream. "Just kill me now and get it over with!"
"No. I want your son to kill you." Nyoka replies.
I let out another scream, louder than before.
Just then, the bedroom door flies open, and a tall beautiful man with long waist length frost white hair, ice blue eyes and a hard expression rushes into the room.
He yells something and purple flames shoot from his palms and hits Nyoka square in the chest.
"No!" Callisto screams. She cups her hands, and orange witch fire shoots from her palms, but is powerless compared to the tall man's purple fire.
The blond witch is no match for the stranger; instead she flies to the other side of the room, when the purple fire hits her in the chest.
A minute later, I see purple, blue and gold fire all mixed together. The flames hits both Callisto and Niran-Nyoka, and all I can hear are screams that go up, and up. When the blinding lights from the three flames have subsided, I find that both Callisto and Niran-Nyoka are nowhere to be seen.
I look towards the door, and Delos and Thierry are just putting their hands down. All of the soulmate couples are there in the room with me.
The tall man walks over to me.
"Nila Snow?" he asks.
"Yeah." I breathe out.
"I am Saulmann Arlin. I am going to perform the real ritual for your son." Saulmann says.
"Okay." I reply.
Just then, another wave of contractions hits me, and I scream in agony.
"He's coming." I gasp out. "The baby's coming."
Thierry comes over to me and grabs my free hand; Hannah rushes over to me and mutters things to me.
"Breathe Nila, breathe. Take deep breaths. That's it." Hannah says. I do as she instructs.
Saulmann mutters things in another language, much like Callisto, but his is different.
"Push Nila. Big pushes." Saulmann says, once he's finished. "Come on. That's it. One more big push. I can see the head."
I hear a grandfather clock strike midnight, and I give one more push, and as soon as the clock finishes chiming, I hear my baby cry.
"It's a boy." Thierry says weakly after taking a look.
"I know." I gasp out.
"Hey, nothing's happened.' Poppy says. "The world didn't end."
"So…" Thierry asks, when he hands the baby to me after Mile cut the umbilical cord. "What are you going to call him?"
"Deven Miles…Thierry." I reply, leaning down and kissing my son on the forehead.
"Really?" Thierry asks.
"Yes. I don't know, but it just suits him somehow. Don't you think?" I say.
"Yeah. I guess. What do you think Miles." He asks my soulmate.
"Yeah, sure." Miles answers.
"What do all those names mean?" Poppy asks.
"Well, Deven is Hindi for Like a God. Miles is Greek for Soldier and Thierry is French for Ruler of the People." I reply.
"Thierry, you really know how to name yourself don't you?" Poppy asks looking at the Night Lord.
"I never really bothered to find out what my name meant, I just picked Thierry because I like the name." The blond vampire answers.
"Let's get Deven here washed and dressed, shall we?" Saulmann suggests, taking Deven from me.
"Okay." I reply, handing him over.
"Ladies, would you be so kind as to get Nila here into the bath?" he asks the girls.
"Yeah. Come on mummy, let's go." Iliana says, coming towards me, and wrapping my bathrobe around me to hide my dignity.
All of the girls help me to the bathroom, and the witches run the water and put sweet smelling things into it.
I ease myself into the warm water, and just relax my aching muscles.

A/N: Awww, don't we just love happy endings? Well, it's not exactly finished…yet. Another few chapters more and I think that'll be it. Anywho, please review and let me know what you think of it? Oh, this damn flu. Just when I thought it was going away, it comes back with vengeance in mind. Grrrr.
I'll leave you to review, please, please, please review. I'm desperate. Lol. I need reviews. They might actually make me feel better. Tell your friends (if you thing the story is good enough though), get them to review. Am I getting desperate yet? ;)
