Chapter 7

Damien's POV

So all the men except Christopher (me, Stark, and Jack) plus the Twins, who made sure all the colors were OK for the kids. We didn't talk at all except when the Twins didn't agree on a color or a style.

"No Stark! Ugh... if you even THINK about touching that stroller we may have to strangle you," Shaunee told him. For once I agreed because the stroller he had chosen had the WORST design EVER and just to add to it, it had no safety traits. I looked around and the air sounded and seemed empty and I realized that Erin was GONE!

"Guys?" Everyone turns towards me, "Where is Erin?"

Stevie Rae's POV

So Chris was awkwardly sitting in the corner until he offered to go get us some food from the food store downstairs.

"Hey I'm gonna get you guys some lunch so you guys can eat. Don't pull anything before I get back!" He joked, but it was half-heartedly. He just looked at us and then pushed open the door of the room that Z and I had shared last night.

"I'm going to take a bath now... if that is OK with you?" Zoey looks at me in question.

"It's fine, I'll just take a nap," I reply. She nods and waddles into the bathroom. I lay down but as soon as I do I hear a large splash from the bathroom. I convince myself that Zoey is an independent women and if she splashed a bit or made a small mess she would clean it up.

I drift off a bit, almost asleep when I heard Zoey whimper from the bathroom. I got up and walked over to the door, sure enough Zoey lay in the tub. The water in the tub was still going and as I walked in I slipped on a liquid that wasn't water. Z's water had broke! Looks like she would be having the first Decendant... oh wait, she would be having the first godlings, I would still be having the first Decendants. "Stevie, my water broke and," she paused for a whimper, "I wanted you to stay asleep 'cause I knew," she made a squealing sound, I turned off the tub and started draining the water as we talked, "you were tired."

"OK Zoey, enough talking just... uh, push." She sat there pushing and finally after about five pushes the first baby started to crown."

Stark's POV

"Dammit Erin we don't have time for this!" I yelled after hanging up the phone. Z had had all four of the kids and two were sitting in some wooden booster seats that you usually find at some random restaurant and that HAS to be uncomfortable for a newborn. Stevie Rae had also said though that the kids seemed to grow into toddlers as soon as the were fed by Zoey and Zoey even went back to her usual skin and bones weight.

We walk over towards electronics and catch a glimpse of Erin, we turn down that isle. Sure enough Erin sat there on the ground with Erik. Erin was crying and Erik was rubbing her back. A Newspaper lay on the floor, open to an obituary. Erin managed, "My real mom, dead in car accident. You'll never believe with who!" She sobbed harder. Jack sat down on the other side of her handing me the newspaper and taking over rubbing her back so Erik could tell us what's going on.

"Kalona and Neferet are in jail because they killed Erin's biological mother and her father is in the hospital," Erik explained.
