When they arrived back in Blue Bay Harbor, Tori got some surprising news. Blake had just stepped through the door when Tori literally jumped into his arms, sending him to the floor with her on top of him. "Did you miss me that much?" he said.

"I'm going to be an Aunt!!! Taylor's pregnant! She's having twins!" she just about screamed. Blake's eyes went wide. "You're going to be an Uncle!" she said hugging him. Blake hugged her back and attempted to sit up. "Oh geeze, I'm sorry," she said helping him up. "I'm just so excited for her."

Blake kissed her cheek and hugged her close again. "Twins? Are you serious?" he asked as they went to their room. He had been helping out at Storm Chargers doing inventory with Kelly and Dustin ALL day. She said they would be out by 5...it was now 11 and he was exhausted. He sat on the bed and leaned back.

"We could have twins you know," Tori said as she sat against the headboard. Blake's eyes popped open. They hadn't ever talked about having kids before.

"We could?" he asked as he turned on his side to look at her. She smiled.

"Yeah. My grandma on my mum's side was a twin and it skips a generation. I guess Taylor and me are next in line," she said drawing circles in the comforter. There were a few moments of silence before Blake spoke.

"Have you ever...thought about it? Kids I mean?" Tori had a small smile on her face, and she looked at him.

"I've thought about it since the day my mum died...I would love to give someone the kind of love she and my dad gave me." She lowered her head again. Her hand though found his. "What about you?"

He sighed and ran his thumb over her hand. "My parents died and I thought it was the end of the world...then when I saw them again in the Cavern...I knew I wanted to be everything they were. They instilled so many great things in me that I would love to pass on to my kids..." he said. Tori raised her eyes to his.

"A little of you and a little of me...all mixed in together," she said softly. Blake edged himself up on the bed and held her to him.

"He'd go to the thunder academy," he said.

"Or the Wind academy," Tori said.

"Right, or the Wind academy," he said chuckling a little. Tori looked up at him and they met for a gentle kiss.

"I want a baby, Blake," she said shyly. Blake leaned over and turned out the light.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Six and a half agonizing months passed, and Blake and Tori had no luck. They went to a doctor and he had told them that Tori's past chemo might have had something to do with it. They headed home after another negative checkup and noticed the weather got very cold very fast. Tori sank into the couch and wrapped herself in a navy fleece blanket.

Blake went over and sat with her. He placed a hand underneath her chin. "We can always adopt," he said smiling. Tori raised her head and smiled a little. She moved so she was resting in his arms. Blake turned the TV on and saw that a snowstorm was heading their way. Tori's eyes widened when she saw that the worst of it was headed right for Silver Hills.

"What if Taylor goes into labor or something?" Tori said. Taylor was due anytime now and everyone was anxiously waiting.

"I doubt that will happen. I mean of all the nights in all the world..."

"Don't say that! Weird stuff like that always happens," she said. They cuddled on the couch for much of the afternoon until the snow began to fall. Slow at first, and then heavier. The lights began to flicker and then went out.

"Great," Blake said. He looked outside and saw that all the lights in the neighborhood were off. "looks like a blackout," he said turning back to Tori. She got up and got some candles to light the room. He watched as she bent over and reached up to light the few candles they had. There was nothing more that he wanted than to give her what both their hearts desired.

"We should probably try to stay warm. It may get pretty cold in here," she said going over to him.

"Give me you're hand," he said. Tori did and felt like she was wrapped in a toasty blanket. She looked up at him questioningly. "When we were stuck in the popcorn, we had to heat ourselves up to pop the kernels...we've always been able to stay warm...now I can keep you warm." He pulled her into him and kissed her temple.

"Although, I can think of another way we could keep warm," she said kissing his neck.

"I know you want a baby hun, but-"Her finger was placed on his lips.

"Blake, right now, I don't even want to think about that. All I want is my husband." She kissed him gently at first, feeling his hands upon her face and running through her hair. Then his lips parted and he reached for her hungrily.

Every time they were together it felt like something new- they always discovered a new way to make each other feel amazing. Blake's hands were threaded through her hair while hers gently rested on the small of his back. Their kisses had become slow and gentle as Blake picked her up, still holding the kiss.

Tori wrapped her legs around his middle and felt herself being lowered down onto the discarded navy blanket on the floor. Blake broke the kiss and looked down at her. The candlelight in the room created the perfect atmosphere. Her sapphire pendant sparkled like her eyes as she looked at him.

His hand pushed her hair back and her's reached up to gently caress his face. This was about loving someone so much that you would give yourself to them. That's what it was like every time to them. It didn't matter if a child was conceived tonight, tomorrow, or a year from now. It was all about love in this moment.

Tori leaned up to kiss him and at the same time began to remove his shirt. Blake stopped momentarily and she removed it. He felt her hands on his chest and felt like he would burst right then. He bent his head down and began kissing her stomach, up to her chest, removing her shirt as he went.

The shirt was tossed aside and he continued his labors until he came to her bra. His fingers played lightly over the lacey material. Tori closed her eyes and kissed his head as she felt him take of the troublesome garment and kiss her sensitive skin. He smiled a bit at the reaction he got from her as her hands made their way through his hair.

He brought his face back to hers and kissed her gently as he grinded himself into her. Tori responded and felt the sensation run through her body. They continued to kiss and move until they couldn't take it anymore.

Blake removed her pants and underwear, kissing her legs as he went down her body. Her sun kissed legs were warm and smelled of vanilla- a scent that he always associated with her. As he was making his way back up, Tori pushed his pants and boxers off revealing all of him to her.

Even after a year and a half of marriage, Tori still blushed a little when she saw ALL of him. He felt her cheeks heat up a little when he bent down to kiss them and he chuckled a bit. Tori kissed his cheeks in response and brought her hips up to him. Blake took the hint and slowly made his way into her.

They slowly made love that night, wanting to take in every little feeling that came with it. They hadn't felt like this in a long time. Completely lost in each other and loving every minute of it. The snow outside continued to fall as they continued long into the night.

((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))

The sun was shining the following morning and the power had been restored sometime during the night. They were both curled up with one another wrapped in the navy blanket on the couch. Blake had woken up earlier and moved them off the floor. Tori was on the outside and almost fell over when she heard the phone ringing.

Blake was jolted awake when Tori reached out behind her to grab the cordless phone off the coffee table.

"Hello?" she said sleepily.

"Tor? Did I wake you up?" the voice of her sister said.

Tori looked at her watch that was on the table as well. "Taylor, it's like seven in the morning, People are usually-" she stopped when she heard a baby crying in the background. Taylor heard her stop and smiled on her end.

"Well I wanted to call you and let you know that your nieces have arrived." Tori had tears in her eyes and Blake sat up giving her a questioning look. Tori reached out and took her hand in his.

"Nieces? Two girls?"

"Yep. Last night during the storm. Two beautiful little girls," Taylor said happily. "Evelina and Melinda." Tori's eyes spilled over when she heard the name. Melinda was her mother's name.

"Tay, that's so great," she said through her tears. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fucking exhausted," she said.

"Taylor!" Tori heard Eric say. She laughed and heard Taylor talking to him for a minute.

"Taylor, I'm so happy for you," Tori said again. "When will you be home?"

"Well, there were a few things that happened...so I'll be out of here in like three days."

"What happened? Are you alright?" Tori asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine Tor, but I'll tell you all about later," she said. Tori didn't argue with her. "But I just wanted to call and let you know that you're an auntie, and that your nieces say hello. I'll call you when I get home."

"Alright Tay. Give them a kiss for me." They said their goodbyes and Tori hung up the phone.

She sank back into the pillow and looked at Blake who was smiling. "I called it," she said. Blake lay down next to her and put his arm around her.

"She really had then last night?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yep...two girls...Evelina and Melinda." Her voice cracked as she said the last name.

"Melinda? Wasn't that your mom's name?" he asked. Tori nodded her head tearfully. Blake kissed her temple and ran a hand over her stomach. She smiled and placed hers over his.

"Someday..." she said as they fell back to sleep.
