HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY TO ME
Chapter .4.
"Will you introduce us to your children?" Thomas asks wanting to know his Grandchildren
"Of course. Since I have the bigger lot I will go last. Gen why don't you start?" Ainslee asks relaxing
"This is Charis Charlotte Lahote she is 6 weeks old", Genesis says showing them her daughter
"She's beautiful", Sue cooed looking at the 6 week old
"She takes after me that is good. I don't need a reminder of her father. I love her dearly", Genesis says kissing the baby's head
"Can I hold her?" Thomas asks
"Sure here", Genesis says gently handing over baby Charis
Charis stretched in her grandfathers arms.
"How many hours in labour where you in with her?" Sue asks
"36. But it was worth it. She is my little angel", Genesis says
"She has your eyes", Thomas says looking at his granddaughter
"Thanks", Genesis says taking Charis back
"Floretta your next", Ainslee says
Floretta picked up a baby in a pink dress.
"This is Dominica Diantha Lahote she is 4 weeks", Floretta says putting her daughter in her father's arms
"She's beautiful", Thomas says
Little Dominica squeezes his finger.
"A strong grip", Thomas says
"Yeah she gets that from us. Actually they all do", Floretta says, "Paul would you like to hold your niece?"
"What if I drop her?" Paul asks to the amusement of others
"You won't", Floretta says taking Dominica from her father's arms and placing her in Paul's
Floretta corrects his holding till she was snuggled in his chest
"That's adorable", Emily says
"Would you like to hold Charis?" Genesis asks picking up Charis again
"Yes please", Emily says taking the baby gently into her arms
"I'll go next. I had twin boys they are 9 weeks old. This is Rashawn Richard Lahote", Hannele says showing the Rashawn
"Can I hold him?" Leah asks
"Sure", Hannele says handing over her son, "Now this is Rashawn's twin Reuben Richo Lahote"
Reuben looked just like his twin and was waving his little fists around in the air.
"Can I hold him?" Kim asks
"Sure. Just support his head", Hannele says
"Got it. I can't wait to have a dozen of these", Kim says
"My twins are 5 weeks old they are named Isadore Lukas Lahote and Isadora Quintella Lahote", Quintella says
"They look like you", Thomas says holding each
"Can I hold one?" Bella asks
"Of course. Your going to be my sister-in-law. They will be your nieces and nephews too", Quintella says handing Isadora to Bella
Quintella puts Isadore back into his pram.

"We think it runs in the family", Ainslee says
"I'll go next. I had triplets. 2 boys and 1 girl", Eleamoda says picking up the small baby, "This is the first born she is named Taniqua Shannah Lahote"
Eleamoda hands her to her father.
"How old are they?" Thomas asks
"3 weeks old. Now this is Crispin Daividh Lahote", Eleamoda says after taking Taniqua back and handing him Crispin
"Are they good babies too all of you?" Bella asks
"Yes. They are normal. They cry and all that. Some were born premature. But they are ok know", Cayley says
"Here is the youngest triplet Joby Temple Lahote", Eleamoda says handing him Joby after Thomas handed Crispin too Billy
"Joby has the Quileute skin. In fact they all do. But some a little lighter", Billy says
"That is because we were raped by white guys. Maybe we will tell you about our life some time", Floretta says
"My turn to introduce my children", Bathsheba says
"How many do you have?" Thomas asks
"Quadruplets. Two girls and two boys they are 9 weeks old", Bathsheba says
"Can we see them?" Thomas asks
"Sure. This is Ceara Sophie Lahote first born", Bathsheba says handing her daughter to her father
"She if beautiful", Thomas says, "She reminds me off you when you were a baby"
"Can you show us some pictures?" Hannele asks
"Haven't you seen any?" Thomas asks
"No. Mother destroyed them all. Except the one we found that lead us to you", Ainslee says
"I will show you all them", Thomas says
"This is my second born named Sarai Emmalyn Lahote", Bathsheba says handing her to her father
"She is little", Thomas says
"She is the smallest of the four. Even though she is second born. The doctors say more nutrition went to the other three. She had a weak heart but they operated. She just has to be watched", Bathsheba says
"We will help you", Thomas says
"All of us. Your apart of this tribe", Billy says

"How many children do you have?" Jared asks
"18. Do you want to go first sweetheart?" Ainslee asks a little girl with black hair and brown eyes
"He is my Poppy?" the girl asks pointing at Thomas
"Yes sweetheart. Go on introduce yourself", Ainslee says
"Hi Poppy I am Joandra Valarie Lahote. I am 6", Joandra says
Thomas lights up at her calling his Poppy.

"Yes. I can count to ten!" Joandra says
"That is very good. I wish I could have been there for you", Thomas says
"Mummy explained. You're here now. I like being called Joan", Joandra says
"What does her name mean?" Jared asks Ainslee
"It is a combination of Joanne and Andrea. I like unusually names. Sweetie you go next", Ainslee says to a child with brown hair and brown eyes.

"No", Ainslee says knowing he was talking about their fathers
"Emily how did you get those scars?" Eleamoda asks changing the subject, "If you don't mind me asking"
"Bear attack", Emily says
The Lahote siblings saw the guilt in Sam's eyes. They knew those scars were from werewolf claws.
Ainslee heard Jared tell Paul he imprinted on her. Paul begins to shake.
"Paul outside now", Sam orders
The wolves run out.
"Children stay here", Ainslee says knowing what was happening
"My children don't go out there!" Thomas says as his children move to go outside
But Ainslee, Eleamoda, Alyx, Bathsheba, Cayley, Floretta, Genesis, Hannele, Quintella, Jacqueline, Dyson, Karenza, Tiphanie, Sharmaine, Luanna, Nikolaus, Philippina, Astraea, Clytemnestra, Evander and Poseidon don't listen. They quickly go outside to see Paul and Jared turn into wolves.
"Stop!" Ainslee says
They don't.
"Kids I can explain", Thomas says expecting them to be shocked
Ainslee looks at her siblings and nods they were going to transform. The Lahote siblings begin to shake. Then they explode surprising everyone and leaving everyone speechless…
