Writer's Notes: Thank you Moggy-Chan, munzke11, and kouga's older woman. I'm so happy that you guys are still following along with the story. I'm definitely going to miss writing on this, but it's wrapping up soon. Never fret, there will be more fanfics. I'm starting a Heroes/Smallville crossover, and I'll be doing another TVD/Twilight crossover, and I have an idea for a True Blood Fanfic as well as a Shadowhunters fanfic. If there are any fanfic crossovers, don't hesitate to leave me a PM about it.

~Salvatore Boarding House~
The bell rang and Damon answered the door to Carlisle. "Hey Doc, results got back fast?"
"I did, is Bella up?" Carlisle said as Damon lead him into the parlor.
"Yeah, she's upstairs with Rose and Alice. They're doing pictures or something with the twins and girls. Rose and Alice like to buy a ton of cute outfits and take bunches of pictures. Bella goes along with them."
Carlisle nodded. "Well, Rose and Alice can be overbearing sometimes, especially Alice," Carlisle said and then took the glass Damon offered. "Bella doing okay?"
"Yeah, she's been tired, and the morning sickness isn't forgiving, but she's keeping up. She's so amazing and it surprises me sometimes at how strong she is."
Bella appeared holding Aira in her arms. "Amaya got tired and went to sleep, but Aira wanted to come see daddy." She said and then Aira was smiling big at Damon. Damon took Aira from her and bounced her gently in his arms, smiling brightly at her.
"So, you guys ready to know what the blood results show?" Carlisle asked, holding the envelope up.
"Yes," Bella said with a smile, sitting down on the couch, her hands clasped together.
Carlisle opened the envelope and took the results out. He smiled and handed Damon the paper. "It appears that there is male DNA present. You are carrying at least one boy. I'll be able to tell on an ultrasound for sure next month around the end of January. It looks like your babies are developing 4 weeks ahead of schedule. So, we'll continue with the ultrasounds weekly, but so far everything looks normal, the babies are fine."
Damon smiled down at the paper and then to Bella. "A boy. That's fantastic. I was afraid that Jai would be stuck with all sisters. It would drive him crazy."
Bella laughed. "Well, I think I would go crazy. Rose and Alice would just overload this house with frills and sparkles. Also, poor Jai." She hugged Carlisle. "Thank you. I know between me and violet we have been working you way too hard."
"Nonsense. It's nothing. You're like a daughter to me Bella. Don't ever think that I wouldn't do anything for you Bella."
Bella smiled. "Still. Thank you, Carlisle." She kissed his cheek and watched him leave. She turned and looked at Damon and Aira. "So, at least one boy. What do you think?"
Damon thought about it. "Hmm. I'm thinking two boys and a girl."
Bella thought about it. "What if the test is wrong and it's all girls still?"
"Cute. I'll love them no matter what, but me and Jai cannot be the only ones."
"Well, I think that they're all boys."
Damon thought about it as they walked up the stairs. "Well, you do have that mother's intuition."

~Mikaelson Manor~
Violet moved around Hope's nursery, putting up some more of the baby clothes when she started feeling some discomfort. She groaned a little and rubbed right below her ribs. Kol paused in the doorway of the nursery.
"Violet? Are you okay?" he asked, coming into the nursery fully.
"Yeah, just some Braxton hicks. Carlisle said they're common. Bella had them with the girls, so this is normal." She let out a shaky breath as the contraction eased up.
"Maybe I should call Carlisle just in case," Kol insisted.
"No no. Don't bother him. He's with Bella today. She's getting an ultrasound of the trips," she continued to move around the nursery and then a couple minutes later, it moved over her again, her back throbbing in pain, and her belly tightened.
"Violet, I'm going to call Carlisle. I think that it's a good idea to get you up to the delivery room set up."
"Kol, I'm fine," she insisted through grit teeth.
"Violet, your water just broke. You're not fine. You're in actual labor."
Violet looked down at her feet and saw the puddling water. She groaned and then the pain hit her harder as the contractions were becoming intense. "Call. Klaus." She bit the words out.
Kol swept her up into his arms carefully and moved her upstairs quickly and set her down on the bed. He pulled his phone out. "Klaus, Violet is in labor. I'm calling Carlisle, but I don't think that he'll make it here in time. Hurry." He hung up the phone and yelled out for Rebecca.
Rebecca appeared quickly by Kol's side. She took in Violet's state and then moved around the other side of the bed and grabbed the gown that Violet picked out. "Kol get the birthing tub ready. I'm going to get her dressed and into the tub.
"Carlisle, it's time. Violet is in labor." Kol said quickly and was hanging up again and doing as Rebecca had instructed.
Violet groaned out as the contractions started again. Kol had the pool filling with water quickly and then Klaus was busting into the room. "Violet! Are you okay love?"
Violet groaned again and then Klaus had Violet in his arms. He got into the pool, his nice suit still on. The warm water helped ease the contractions, so Violet let her head lean back against Klaus' chest.
"Its okay love. She's going to be here soon. Carlisle is on his way." Klaus soothed.
Violet groaned again as the contraction rippled through her again.
"Klaus, they're getting really close together. I'm going to check her," Rebecca said and leaned over the side of the pool and checked Violet. "Oh. Okay Violet. I can feel Hope's head. On the next contraction we're going to push okay."
Violet nodded as the pain subsided. Klaus brushed her hair away from her face and kissed the top of her head. He was humming low in his throat, a little ancient lullaby. It was soothing and it helped to calm Violet.
When the next contraction reared up again, Violet bore down and pushed on Rebecca's command. "Okay, Violet, we're going to do one more push. You can do this. You're doing great," Rebecca said and Violet pushed again, and Hope entered the world. Rebecca pulled Hope up from the water and placed her on Violet. Kol brought over towels, handing them to Rebecca, who helped swaddle Hope up. Carlisle made it through the door finally and smiled over at Rebecca and nodded.
"Well, Hope is here. I'm going to check you out Violet to make sure everything is okay, finish this up. Then I'll check out Hope, if that's still okay?" Carlisle asked and Violet nodded, tears streaming down her face.
Klaus had tears in the corners of his eyes as he looked down at Violet holding Hope. "She's beautiful," he whispered, mesmerized by her. Violet nodded and leaned her head back against Klaus, a tired fatigue washing over her.
"Hey, Carlisle, her heartbeat, it slowed," Kol said, alerting Carlisle.
"Violet? How are you feeling?" Carlisle said calmly.
"Mmm." She said and opened her eyes.
"Rebecca, take Hope. Klaus help me get her onto the bed." Carlisle instructed and they moved fast.
"Violet? Can you talk to me?" Carlisle asked and Violet's eyes rolled around.
Klaus looked to Carlisle. "What's wrong? Her heart rate is slowing more."
"She's lost some blood. Her pressure is down. Do you have any O negative blood here?" Carlisle rolled up his sleeves to his elbows.
"We do. Kol go get some blood." Klaus commanded.
Carlisle slid Violet's legs up and inspected what was going on. "Ah, simple tear. I'm going to stitch this. In the meantime, Rebecca hand Klaus Hope, I'm going to need you to hang the blood for her. Remember what I showed you?"
Rebecca nodded and did exactly what Carlisle said. Kol returned with the blood and Rebecca took it and hung up the blood on the little hook that Carlisle had put in to prepare. He worked fast and stitched up the tear. "Kol, look in my medical bag and grab that back of saline and bring it over to your sister. Rebecca hang the saline and start that IV."
Rebecca and Kol moved quickly as Klaus watched Violet, his eyes showing worry and concern, but he gently bounced Hope as she started to fuss.
"Her color is coming back, and her heartrate is coming back up." Carlisle said and leaned back, grabbing a couple towels and started to clean away the blood. He then moved to his bag and got a stethoscope and lifted it up her shirt and listened to her chest and then her belly. "Everything sounds good. It was a simple tear, not uncommon. She labored so fast, and Hope is a little large. Let me go ahead and get her weighed." Klaus handed Hope to Carlisle and then moved to sit by Violet, grabbing her hand in his.
"She's okay?" Klaus asked, his voice wavering.
"She's going to be alright," he said and set Hope on the baby scale in the room on the little dresser. "Seven pounds, fourteen ounces. Twenty inches long. She's a healthy weight. She's really alert, her eyes are bright, and she's even smiling right now. Hope is doing really well." He said and then swaddled her up tight and picked her up, bouncing her a little.
Violet's eyes started to flutter as she looked around. "Hope?"
"She's okay love. You're okay. She's perfect. Nearly eight pounds!" Klaus said and kissed her softly. Carlisle brought Hope over to Violet and handed her down to her.
"Oh Klaus, she's got curly hair," Violet said as she lifted the little hat Carlisle put on her.
"My niece is already dazzling, her eyes are like purple violets," Kol said smiling over at her.
Klaus smiled down at his small, little daughter. "She's perfect, just like her mommy." He said and smiled down at her as Hope smiled up at him.
Carlisle smiled. "Alright. Rebecca, I want you to run another bag of the O negative blood and the other bag of saline. Keep an eye on her. I have to get back to Bella. We were just about to start the ultrasound. Oh, Bella is worried, give her a call when I leave," he said over to Violet.
"Thank you, Carlisle," Klaus said and watched him leave. Rebecca crowded over to the bed to look at Hope.
"So, did you guys think about a middle name for her?" She asked.
Violet smiled up at Klaus. "Hope Serenity Mikaelson," she murmured, and Klaus leaned down and kissed her.
"That is a wonderful name!" Rebecca exclaimed.
"Yeah it's beautiful," Kol said and smiled down at his niece. "At least she looks like Violet. It would have been a tragedy if she looked like you brother."
Violet laughed and then patted Klaus' arm. "Stand down. Girls are supposed to look like their mommy's."
"You're lucky she saved you," Klaus joked.
They all watched Hope close her eyes and drift comfortably off to sleep.
~Salvatore Boarding House~
Carlisle returned quickly. Bella was hanging up with Violet when he walked in.
"Your niece is perfect and healthy. Are you ready to take a look at these three?" Carlisle said as he moved into the parlor. Damon was heading in behind him with a bottle of water.
"I take it Rebecca is being a good midwife?" Damon said and handed Bella the water.
"She is actually. Usually Rose is with me, but I had been teaching Rebecca for a while now because I thought it would be important to have extra hands for when the triplets get here." Carlisle said and then turned on the machine. Bella lifted her shirt up exposing her already swollen belly. She looked like she was already halfway through the pregnancy.
Carlisle rolled the wand across her belly like he has done many times before. Damon leaned in to look at the monitor. Carlisle did some measurements first and then swirled the wand around, tapping the keys to capture images. "Okay, baby A is a boy," he said and Bella grinned at Damon. Carlisle took another moment before deciding what baby B was. "Baby B, is a boy." He said, tapping the keys again and then moved the wand around to find Baby C, who was giving Carlisle a hard time. "Come on Baby C, let me measure your leg." Carlisle murmured, and then the baby stretched, giving Carlisle a better view. "Baby C is another boy." He said and took a few more pictures, before printing it out and handing it to Bella. "Congrats you two. Everything is still looking good. Triplets are usually born early. With how fast they are progressing I think it'll be safe to have them between June 17th and 24th."
Damon and Bella looked at the images of their boys. "You were right," Damon said finally, and Bella smiled.
"Yeah, I was right, wasn't I?" she hugged Carlisle before he left and then she carried the ultrasound picture to the kitchen and put it on the fridge. It wouldn't be long before they would arrive.

~Salvatore Boarding House~
"Aira, Amaya! Please pick up the toys and put them up," Damon called after his daughters who were giggling. He stepped over the tea sets and big lego blocks and walked down the hall to Bella. She was on bed rest now for the most part until the boys arrived. He heard Stefan helping the girls pick up the toys that they had took out and he sighed. Stefan was spoiling the girls, and that is what made it hard to get them to pick up after themselves when "Uncle Steffie" did everything for them.
"Hey, when is Jazz getting here with the cribs?" Bella asked as she took the hot tea from Damon.
"Him and Peter are picking them up now and bringing them here. Rebecca and Lexi are busy painting at the moment. They finished up the girls new rooms, and they're moving the new beds in for the girls when Alice gets here because Alice has a 'vison' of how the room is supposed to look or whatever that's supposed to mean," he said and then sat on the edge of the bed. "You doing okay? You look pale today."
Bella smiled a weak smile. "Well, Carlisle said that really, any day now the boys could be born. He wants to put it off a few weeks, but I have a feeling they're not going to listen. I've been having some contractions off and on today."
"Why didn't you say anything?" Damon said, alarmed now, his hands went to her belly to gently caress her.
"I didn't say anything because I don't want anyone to worry just yet. I'm laying in bed all day, every day. I think that they're ready to be here any moment, and I don't feel like anything is wrong," she explained but Damon sighed.
"Bella you can't do this by yourself. That is why I'm here, to help you."
"I know, and I love you. But for now, just go help with getting things done before they do get here."
Damon looked at her for a long moment before sighing. He kissed her forehead and stood. "Okay. But you call for me the moment you feel any real pain got it?"
"Got it. Now go. I love you!" she said and watched him leave.
Damon sighed and paused a moment before leaving to check in on Lexi and Rebecca. They had the room painted, and it was drying. The walls were sage green and had beige and brown accents. The theme was dinosaurs. "Well it definitely looks like I stepped into the dinosaur age." The wall that would hold the cribs had the boys' names on the wall. Alexander, Julius, and Isaac.
"Everything is coming together." Lexi said and winked. "Go help 'Steffie' with the girls. I think they've got him tied up."
Damon laughed and walked into the girls' new room to find Stefan actually tied up. "Oh. Lexi wasn't lying when she said they tied you up." He burst out laughing.
"Oh haha. Yes, they have tied me up, but we're playing a game."
"What kind of game is this?" Damon said still laughing.
"Daddy daddy! Uncle Steffie is the monster and we tied him up so superman can come and take him away!" Aira squeaked with excitement.
"Oh, I see, Uncle Steffie is the big bad monster, and that makes you and Amaya the sidekicks?" Damon said, squatting down to get on their level. "But for right now, let's untie Uncle Steffie because he's needed to help put up your new brother's cribs when Uncle Jazzy gets here okay?"
"Awww okay," Amaya said and helped her sister untie Stefan.
Stefan got to his feet and glared at his brother. "Nope. I'm not going to listen to it. I let them do it. I could have escaped at any time."
"Hate to tell you brother, but these girls have you wrapped around their little fingers," Damon said with a smirk.
"You might wanna look in the mirror, because they also have you wrapped around their fingers too," Stefan said and patted his brother on the back before leaving to help Jasper with the new cribs.
Damon looked at his daughters running and twirling and playing. It made him smile to watch them grow and be happy. Pretty soon, they would be grown up before he knew it, and then these days would be over.
