I HAVE DISCOVERED WHAT THE BABIES WILL BE NAMED! You shall not know what their names are until many many chapters from now :) So I think I will have every chapter go for a week long or skip a few days in between chapters in time unless I leave off at a cliffhanger or at an important part, but I have to get to like 22-24 weeks here now so any ideas on how to do that without creating 160 something chapters? Mucho appreciated :P
DISCLAIMER: *Random MSN convo with my friend*
Me: So I need baby names for my story.
My friend: Always me giving story help. What about Moran?
Me: Nope, goes to well with moron.
My friend: LOL.
Me: Adam Kit Souza?
My friend: The middle name sounds like a girl, or like chocolate.
Me: CHOCOLATE BABY!
My friend: I know this will happen eventually, so she doesn't own Darkest Powers. It belongs to... wait? Who does it belong to?
Me: Kelley Armstrong.
My friend: There you go. *Smiley emoticon*
Chloe's Point of View (4 weeks)
Four days later, Derek and I still hadn't talked about our babies alone. Melody said I was stalling and I told her that I wasn't stalling, I was postponing things. There was a difference. When I said that she went and got a thesaurus and told me to check. Apparently there wasn't a difference, because postponing is a synonym for stalling.
In fact I avoided Derek as much as possible when there wasn't at least two other people in the room with us. Tori noticed this a couple days ago and called me out on it.
***Flashback-A couple days ago***
"You're avoiding him." Tori said.
"Who?" I asked, I knew very well who she meant.
"Derek. Talk to him, I don't see why the two of you can't be left alone now. You're already pregnant." Tori said, smiling.
"Shut up PLEASE Tori. This isn't for your amusement." I said.
"Well it was for yours weeks ago." Tori said, with that she left.
I was beginning to think she was siding with Amelia and Alexa on the no helping thing, but I couldn't be sure.
***Flashback Over***
"Hey. Still sick?" Melody asked.
I was currently sitting on the bathroom floor with my head against the wall thinking about my situation.
"Yes. Why do they call it morning sickness if it isn't only in the morning?" I asked.
"Maybe some Aristotle wannabe saw a woman only get sick in the mornings and said, 'The symptom shall be called morning sickness!'" Melody said.
"I will kill him." I said.
"Who? Derek for knocking you up, or the Aristotle wannabe because I think he's already dead." Melody said.
"MELODY!" I shouted.
"I'm not a 'him' so I don't thing you meant me." Melody said, smiling.
I glared at her.
"So how do you feel?" Melody asked.
"Tired and nauseous." I answered.
The downside of pregnancy had set in that was for sure, the day after Melody had almost killed Jaron by talking about having children herself I had started getting sick, and the tiredness was getting worse.
"Why does this stuff have to happen so fast?" I asked.
"It isn't happening that fast yet, just wait, it will get a whole lot worse. A wolfy pregnancy is much much worse than a regular one. In a few days I think you'll want to kill Tori, but that might just be because she has been acting like a spoiled bitch lately." Melody said.
"Lately?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Good point." Melody said.
"My head hurts." I said.
"Could that be because of the constant white tile, or the worry about things because you haven't talked to Derek?" Melody asked.
"What is he going to say?" I asked.
"He's going to be there, but the two of you need to get the whole weirdness out of the way, the two of you also have got to get Simon to stop acting like an idiot." Melody said.
Simon. I really didn't want to talk to him anytime soon. He was still acting like I hurt him on purpose. That my main goal in life was to make him angry and upset. He was acting almost like Tori did at Lyle House, I was glad there weren't any crawl spaces around for him to lock me in or even Derek. Derek and Simon weren't exactly talking, unless arguing counts.
"What if I just did the first one?" I asked.
"Chloe, you're going to need Simon to be okay with this BEFORE the babies come along." Melody said.
I nodded and felt a wave of sickness come over me. I once again threw up in the toilet while Melody held my hair back.
A minute or two later I sat back down and said, "This is the reason you practice safe sex, it leads to pregnancy and pregnancy leads to sickness, tiredness, and soreness which is not fun."
"Okay." Melody said, sitting next to me.
"You have nothing better to do than hang out with me in a bathroom?" I asked.
"Nope, Jaron is trying to get some sleep and Derek is on a run so I can't give either of them any baby knowledge." Melody said.
"You are going a little baby centric." I said.
"Well every few months I need to go on some hobby kick. I pick babies that way I can be of help to you." Melody said.
"Oh gee thanks." I said sarcastically.
Melody ignored me and we sat in silence for a while until Emy came in.
"Hey, how do you feel?" Emy asked.
"Ick. I feel ick." I said.
"Great. Well when you feel a little better I suggest you eat something because you're going to need nutrition." Emy said.
"I don't want to eat." I answered.
I know I was being stubborn and that I really did need to eat something, but try eating after throwing up for the past few hours and tell me how most people would feel.
"You need to." Emy said.
"I don't NEED to do anything." I said.
"Wolf hormones tend to hurt a lot more. So she's going to be like this for a while, the hormones are going at abnormal rates through her body which is causing the superhuman morning sickness." Melody said.
"She needs to eat though." Emy said.
"I will try to get her down there soon." Melody said.
Emy nodded and left.
"Ugh. I was rude wasn't I?" I asked.
"Yes, you were but you had a reason to be." Melody said.
"Derek better enjoy these kids because they are the only ones he is EVER getting from me." I said angrily.
"You're mad now? Just wait until the 8th week. You'll want to murder him, even more so later on." Melody said.
"Oh joy!" I said sarcastically.
"Can I come in?" Derek asked from outside the door.
"Sure!" Melody said.
Derek came in and sat down next to me on my other side.
"I think I am going to go." Melody said.
I gave her a look and she said, "Relax. It will be fine."
I wrapped my arms around my knees, placed my head on my knees and looked at Derek.
"How do you feel?" Derek asked.
"Everyone is asking how I feel. I feel tired and nauseous and ICK and I also feel like not telling anyone else how I am feeling." I said.
"Okay." Derek said.
"So, apparently we need to talk, note that we are in a bathroom, but considering that the bathroom has become my place of residence for the past few days it will have to do." I said.
"I'm sorry about this." Derek said.
"The kids, the morning sickness, the tiredness, the fact that everyone keeps looking at me like I am a human incubator? Which part?" I asked.
Derek flinched.
I was acting like a bitch, I understand that but I didn't like this. Sure, I could go look at pretty baby clothes but I really didn't want to do that right now. This was a negative at the moment. I was 15 and pregnant with necromancer-werewolf triplets that seemed intent on never letting me eat anything. I tired and irritable, I would be a lot less irritable if I could actually eat a decent amount of food.
"All of it, I guess. Look I know that this is probably one of the stupidest, worst situations that we could get ourselves in but I promise to help, to be there, and to never make you do this alone." Derek said.
I smiled slightly at that and said, "Even if these kids turn out to be freaks of nature?"
"Even if you give birth to tiny wolves, though as a bonus we won't have to ever buy clothes and shoes." Derek said.
"It would be cheaper, but I would rather not give birth to little wolves." I said.
"Yeah, they might not like bathtime." Derek said amused.
I'd bet anything he was thinking about a wolf family in his head.
"Derek, I am not giving birth to little wolves okay. At least I hope not." I said.
We both laughed a little and I asked, "How is your dad going to react to this when we find him and he finds out?"
"I have no idea. He will probably be nervous and will make me get a job to 'teach me a lesson' but will ultimately be a great grandfather so I guess sort of on an inbetween state but I am definitely in for a lecture on responsibility along with him giving both me and Simon the talk again." Derek said.
I nodded and said, "Before all this if I were to tell my dad I was pregnant he wouldn't believe me, now he would and I have no idea what he's going to do."
"As long as you are with him and safe he will be alright at first, then I think we'll have to tell him everything even though that would mean breaking a rule or two." Derek said.
"I have no idea how to be a mother. I only remember a few things about my mother and what she did to raise me and if I asked my dad about her he would be either too busy or too closed off about answering." I said.
"We will have to make it up as we go along." Derek said.
"Yes. We will and that's the scary part." I said.
I felt vomit rise up in my throat and started throwing up in the toilet, Derek was holding my hair this time.
Once I was done throwing up, I got up and rinsed my mouth and then sat down next to Derek.
"Derek remember how you said you would help?" I asked.
"Yes." Derek said.
"Research anything, medication or not that helps with morning sickness." I said.
"Alright. Anything else you want me to research?" Derek asked.
"Um, can you find out when I will go through what in this pregnancy?" I asked. "Like when will I stop morning sickness, when will I start getting huge. Things like that would be nice to know."
"That I can do... Melody you can come in now." Derek said.
"She was listening?" I asked.
"Nope, she just wants to bring you some water." Derek said.
"Everything okay?" Melody asked, giving me a water bottle.
"Yeah. I think so." I said.
"Well that's good. Come with me. We will get you some crackers and we will watch a few movies." Melody said.
I really didn't feel like getting up, but the constant white tile made me think I was in an asylum so I agreed, but Derek went to do some research.
We stopped by the kitchen and got my crackers and we started watching the movie Ultraviolet in the living room when Emy joined us.
"How's the research going?" Melody asked.
"Awful and Alexa knows that I am researching only so I can steal her powers if we need to." Emy said.
"Meaning?" I asked, munching on a cracker.
"Meaning she is acting like a total bitch to me. She thinks she is sooo great." Emy said, she took a cracker from me.
"It will be fine, if she has a problem with you tell me and I will be more than happy to blow up her room." Melody said.
"Thanks." Emy said.
"No problem." Melody said.
There was an explosion upstairs so Emy and I looked at Melody.
"It wasn't me, I swear!" Melody said.
We then heard Amelia scream at Noah and we knew that it was Noah that did something, when he ran in and almost crashed into the TV we were sure it was Noah.
"She's going to kill me, SHE IS GOING TO KILL ME AND BURN MY BODY. SHE IS GOING TO KILL ME, BURN MY BODY AND PUT MY ASHES IN A DRESS!" Noah said while screaming.
"What did you do?" I asked.
Amelia ran down the stairs and he hid behind Melody.
"I WAS PRACTICING MY MAGIC AND THAT JERK SLICED MY FIREBALL INTO LITTLE BITS SO IT LIT A BUNCH OF SMALL FIRES IN MY ROOM!" Amelia said, screaming.
"I am not going to lie, it was not an accident. But in my defense she was using me as a target." Noah said.
"You were using him as a target?" Melody and I asked.
"It isn't my fault he came into my room." Amelia said.
"I knocked and you said 'COME IN!' and then you threw a fireball at me." Noah said.
"It wouldn't have killed you and Alexa would have healed you." Amelia said.
"So that makes it okay to throw a fireball at him?" Emy asked.
"No, but he is a jerk. That is what makes it okay to throw a fireball at him." Amelia said.
"Is your room still on fire?" I asked.
"Not anymore, I put the fires out." Amelia said.
"Then there isn't a serious problem, you threw the fireball at him. Your fault." Melody said.
"See I knew she would be on my side." Noah said, putting an arm around Melody's shoulder.
Melody then grabbed his arm and twisted it and said, "Move it or LOSE IT."
"Ow Ow Ow Ow, OKAY. This hurts. MERCY! MERCY!" Noah said.
Melody let his arm go and smiled.
"IT'S MY STUFF!" Amelia screamed.
"It's not like you can't afford to buy new stuff." I said.
"This is just not fair!" Amelia screamed, her hair started sparking with a blue-green energy.
"Amelia..." I said.
"Your hair..." Emy said.
Amelia started grabbing her head like she was trying to focus and control her powers. Her hands started shaking and her veins stood out against her skin and the blood in them almost looked like it was turning black.
"Amelia. Stop." Melody said.
"I'm TRYING." Amelia said.
Luca came down the stairs and saw that Amelia was losing it so he ran back up the stairs, almost crashing into Derek who was running down after hearing what was happening.
"Amelia, breathe. Think calming things." Derek said.
"Shoes, shoes, buying shoes using other peoples money." Amelia said, a look of anger appeared on her face. "My black shoes were burned."
A huge black and red fireball formed a little above her head that just kept getting bigger and bigger.
"Can you cut through that thing?" I asked Noah.
"No. It is like it absorbs powers. Like a black hole." Noah said.
I looked at Melody and she shook her head no as in her powers weren't working very well.
Derek looked terrified because I was in the path of that power absorbing-fireball thing.
"Oh my god, Chloe what are you doing?!" Melody asked.
"What?" I asked.
"Your feet." Emy said.
I looked down and sure enough my feet were levitating an inch of the ground.
"Well that's unusual." I said.
"You think?" Noah asked.
I was getting higher and higher, so I grabbed Melody, who grabbed Noah, who grabbed Emy and we levitated almost to the ceiling and stopped. We tried walking and it was possible. We were walking on air.
"This is fun." I said.
The blackish-red fireball thing blasted into where we were just sitting and then the sofa blew up taking parts of the wall with it.
"Fun, but useful." Noah said.
"What was that?" Ivy asked, coming in.
"Amelia losing control." I answered continuing my air walking.
"Oh my god. Why are the four of you up there?" Ivy asked.
"I think the babies want to be airplanes today?" Noah suggested.
"Can you come down?" Ivy asked.
"Can we do the Can-Can while we're up here?" Melody asked. "We are already linking arms in a straight horizontal line."
"No." Emy, Noah, and I said.
"Um, can you tell the kids that Uncle Noah wants to be put on the ground?" Noah asked.
"Uncle?" I asked.
"Well Melody is calling titles, I am the un-related uncle okay." Noah said.
"Okay. Um... unborn babies mommy wants down." I said.
I felt like I was going down and we were put down at a very slow gentle speed until we were placed back on our feet.
"Oh... wow." A few of the other supernaturals in the house said after seeing what just happened.
