Chapter 14: It's Finally Time

Recap: Behind a red door was the answers to everything about that millennium. The Council of Shadows and possibly how to beat them. Behind this door lies everything that will determine our future. I wonder what Amelia meant by "something great"? Is it good or bad? Maybe both? What could this possibly mean?

When Celine opened the door aged parchment and dust assaulted my keen wolf senses. All the books looked as if they haven't been touched in years. Not only that, but this place is HUGE! Bookshelves are about 12 feet high alone and theres about 7 rows with about 10 in each. DAMN! This is going to take a long time.

Leading us through the stacks of books, Celine and Jason brought us to a smaller section of books.

"Everything we have about the Millennium of Red Snow is right here in these three book cases. We had much more than this, but it was all burned to ash by fire." he gestured to the three book cases that we would be using for information, but what fire is he talking about?

"Jason what fire are you talking about?" I inquired.

"They never told you?" I shook my head 'no'. Sighing and running a hand through his hair he told me what happened. "About one decade ago, a group of assailants attacked the Keepers Council members. We had thought that they were just here to try and kill the members, but that was just a smoke screen for the real plot. An even smaller group of arsonists snuck past the fight and headed down to the Archives. The Archives were'nt protected at the time, so there was no lock like you just saw. They set fire to the library, hoping to destry all of our records. Luckily, Celine and I followed them down and was able to help the librarians save most of the information, but, unfortunately, the information that was lost was some of the more important part of that millennuim. This right here is all that's left." he sucked in a breath and shared a suffering look with Celine.

She looked up at us with hope in her eyes. "I hope you find what you're looking for. It could very well mean the saving of our race. Good Luck." I nodded at her and gave a smile of appreciation.

Turning sharply, they both left the library and us to do our work. I looked up and down the shelves and saw that we definately had our work cut out for us at the moment.

"Alright, so here's what is going to happen. We'll divide in half and start at opposite ends. One half will go with Ren at the other end and the rest will stay here with me at this end." They did as directed and soon we had 2 groups and one just headed off with Ren and the other stayed here with me. Grabbing one book from the bottom shelf, I opened to the first page and started a long journey.

Hours later, we're all exhaused and tired of reading this crap. From my pile, not that much that we already don't know. Meeting Ren and his group in the middle of the Archives, we gathered to discuss what we might have learned that we don't already know.

"Does anyone have anything that they'd discovered about the Council or anything?"

"I do." Bryn volenteered. "This Council of Shadows has been here for several centuries. They've been dedicated to the extenction of all beings that were considered an abomination of nature including Guardians and Keepers. They saw us as shape-shifters and warlocks who performed black magic. They discovered natural ways to kill us, other than the usual decapitation and ripping apart. They discovered natural elements that when put together they could cause ome seriously nasty effects to the guardians and Keepers."

"But why did they feel so passionately about having to see our heads of silver platters?" Ren asked.

Ansel answered this one. "They were afraid of us. They saw us as invaders that would completely wipeout the human race."

"So not that much different from today. Right? The humans still look at us with fear. But only difference is that we never terrorized them."

"Thats not completely true." Mason added. "We were the tyrants of the world at that time. We were feared greater than we are now." Fantastic we were tyrants at some point in our history. Just peachy keen.

I stepped aside to replace a book back on the shelf when it hit me. This intense pain just shot through my abdomen. I wrapped my hand around my belly and the other grabbed for the table, trying not to fall over. All of a sudden something inside my belly moved really fricken hard. It felt like something was trying to get out , but couldn't. In a moments notice, Ren and Bryn are at my side and trying to calm me down and figure out what needed to be done first.

"Ren, its happening. We need to get her to the hospital right now. This cannot wait any longer." Bryn hollered at him. These pains were getting worse by the minute. I began screaming at the pain and literally crying in front of my pack because it hurt so badly.

"I'll carry Calla upstairs and have the Keepers open a portal to the hospital. You and the rest of the pack explain to the Keepers what's happening." I heard Ren say through my screams.

Picking me up, we ran at full speed up the corrodor and hollered for the Keepers to open a portal to the hospital. In moments, we were passing through a shimmering portal and landed in front of the emergency room.

Running inside, Ren set me down in a nearby wheelchair and went up to regestration. The nurse, like everything else in my life, was an absolute bitch. "Mr. Laroche, we can't see your wife because she's not regestered. This is an emergency room. Everybody has an emergency."

"This is absolute bullshit! My wife is about to give birth and you won't help me? Fine. Where's Dr. James Watson?"

The nurse called him out and took one look at me and knew what was happening. "Samantha! Gabriella! We have a pregnant woman in here! We need to get her to the Maturnity ward. Prep her and I'll be in there in 2 minutes. What the hell is wrong with you Bridget!? These people are close family friends. You do not ever question anything that they do when they're in here."

Dr. Watson yelling at her must have scared her because she couldn't find her words anymore. "I-I'm so sorry. I didn't know what was happening! I didn't know she was a family friends!"she scampered out as I was wheeled out of the room and into the back.

The blonde haired nurse helped me onto the bed and the black haired nurse removed my underwear and pants. I hadn't noticed that my water had broken and soaked my pants. Samantha measured me and yelled for Dr. Watson "Dr! Shes already almost fully dialated and the contractions are getting stronger! The baby's about to be born! We need you in here!"

All of a sudden Dr. Watson came running in and saw the situation that was happening. "Okay, Calla. It's going to be fine Just breathe and push when I tell you to." I heard his instructions, but I was too far gone to actually obey them. I began to push and felt something moving out of me.

Relief flooded through me at the sound of a baby's cries. But I could feel something else. OMG! I wasn't done yet! I began pushing again and in moments, another baby's cries filled the room. I just had twins? I just had twins!

"Congraduations Calla. Its a boy and a girl. Feternal twins." I nodded and smiled as sweat caked my forehead. I layed back completely exhaused from labor. I opened my eyes after a couple minutes and saw the nurses wrapping our children in their pink and blue outfits. They're so adorable.

"Calla. Would you like to hold your children?" Gabriella asked.

"Yes! Can I?" I amswered a little breathless. She and Samantha showed me how to hold the baby and support the head and stuff. I looked down at them and saw them smile at me. "They're so beautiful. Thank you. Thank you so much for your help."

Dr. Watson entered and said " Calla, Ren is out here asking if he can come in with the rest of your friends. Can I let them in?"

"Of course Doctor." Ren and the rest of the pack piled inside the room with worry on their face. Ren's smile brightened when he saw me holding our children. He sat down on the end of the bed and looked at me with relief.

"I know that we haven't had much time to think about baby names so what are we going to name our children?" he asked. I hadn't thought much about that either. But I have an idea.

"I kinda like the names Tessa and Will. They're twins Ren. Can you believe it? Will was born first so Tessa's big brother is going to have to watch out for her."

"I love the names, Lily. Can I hold one?" he asked.

I nodded and told him how to support the head and stuff. I handed him Tessa and I held onto Will for the moment. I smiled at my pack who was either still trying to figure out what was happening ot on the verge of tears like Bryn.

I have never been happier to feel pain like this. Now I have two beautiful children in our family. But now they have been born in the middle of a dangerous time. And like I just discovered, we do not have normal pregnancies. There was no cramps, or pains before now. And it certainly wasn't no 38 weeks of pregnancy. It was like a 4 day pregnancy. How is that possible? I didn't even have a baby bump. Oh well.

They may have been born in the middle of a fight starting, but I will protect them with my life. They are my life now. As I see my children smiling while sleeping, I'll never let that smile fade.

A/N: So it has FINALLY happened. Tessa and Will couldn't have been born at a worse time, but it couldn't have been helped. Congrats to those who know where the names came from ;) Now that I am finally on SUMMER BREAK I actually have more time to write, so keep checking back for new updates and chapters. As always leave comments and reviews in the section. I love you all and thanks for reading.
