Thank you to all my amazing reviewers! So here's Derek's POV of Chapter 1. It's almost the same as Chapter 1 with just a few Derek thoughts thrown in. Enjoy! Oh and they can still communicate in their minds like in I Promise. I just didn't put that in the last chapter. Sorry!
Italics- Derek & Chloe communicating telepathically.
Disclaimer: I do not own Darkest Powers. I don't even really own Jess. Macaela made her up and added her to our story! =P
DEREK POV
We were in the car headed back to Pennsylvania where Chloe, Simon, Tori, and I lived. Chloe & I had our own house next to Kit & Jessica's house where Simon & Tori still stayed.
We drove up to Buffalo to visit Chloe's dad. He knew all about supernatural world. It was his birthday and we surprised him and told him Chloe was pregnant.
He was actually really happy for Chloe and I, which surprised me. The ride there Simon drove up and Chloe was fine since she slept the whole time.
Now we're driving back and we let Tori drive and now she was wide awake and getting sicker by the minute. She was pregnant-about 3 months along with twins.
I was extremely happy but now I was upset because being pregnant was making her so sick. I felt guilty since I had pushed for kids but didn't have to do any of the work.
Chloe had to do this spell that necromancers do in order to have children and even with the spell it was hard for them to reproduce.
All I did was get her pregnant, which was easy and fun for me. Plus she having werewolves isn't easy and usually only werewolves had werewolf babies.
Chloe was so petite Jess did regular tests to make sure the babies weren't hurting her. Now she had to deal with a 5-month pregnancy compared to a 9 month one and extreme carsickness.
She had her head in my lap and I kept running my fingers through her hair trying to soothe her. She kept rubbing her stomach and I could see in her mind she was wishing we were back home already.
"Tori could you drive slower? Your making Chloe sick." I practically growled at her. I loved the fact that she was pregnant but hated to see her so sick because of it, which made me stressed.
And when I was stressed I wasn't to good with people other than Chloe. "Why?" Simon asked, forgetting Chloe was pregnant. We had just told my family the news recently.
"Cause she's pregnant dumb-ass! Remember?" Tori said to him. "Oh right. Sorry Chloe." Simon said and turned in the front seat to smile back at her apologetically. She managed a half-smile to tell him he was forgiven.
"We'll be home in 5 minutes baby. I'm sorry." I told her in my head, taking her hand. "It's ok. Just remind me never to take a road trip with Tori driving while I'm pregnant ever again ok?" She said jokingly and squeezed my hand to let me know she was going to be all right.
We got to dad and Jessica's house and I carried her in bridal style and laid her on the couch. Jess came in and saw Chloe on the couch looking like she was ready to puke and me hovering over her.
"Chloe, honey, what's wrong?" she asked. "Just an upset stomach from the car ride." Chloe told her. "Oh. The babies didn't like the windy roads I bet." She said.
"No I guess they didn't." Chloe told her laughing a little. "Well what you need is some fresh air. Derek could you bring her out by the pool please? I'll get you some soda to settle your stomach." She told me & Chloe.
Chloe & I smiled at her thankfully. She was a perfect mother-in-law to Chloe ever since she had married Kit and found out she was my mate. Jess really grew fond of Chloe on the island when she was almost raped by Chris and Jess killed Chris in defense for her.
Chloe & I was grateful for her help through this pregnancy since we knew nothing about necromancer and werewolf babies. I carried Chloe out to the pool and sat me her in a chair then sat in the chair next to her.
Jess came out with her drink. "Here Chloe I got you some water. Be sure to keep well hydrated. It's hot out here."
"Derek would you like a soda?" Jess asked me. "Sure please. Thanks." Neither Chloe nor I were big soda drinkers but on hot days like today we occasionally enjoyed a cold soda.
Jess came back with a frosted mug filled with soda for me. Tori & Simon came out after her and sat in the chairs next to Chloe & I.
"So where's Dad?" I asked Jess once she had pulled up a chair next to Chloe. "He's in a business meeting with a client. He should be home in about an hour or so." She said.
"So Chloe when are you due?" Tori asked to fill the silence. She had never told anyone (but me of course) when she was due til Jess did some test and found out when the babies would come.
"September. Probably sometime after labor day." she said. It was only 5 months but Jess found out both babies had my werewolf gene in them and werewolf pregnancy's only lasted 5 months compared to the usual 9 because werewolves grew faster than human babies.
"You decided what to name them yet?" Jess asked. "No but we'll have to decide soon." I said already going over a list of possible names in my head.
Chloe had a small baby bump compared to most but I could feel the babies moving around. Jess said due to her size they were probably small babies but they would grow quickly once they were born.
"Hey can we go swimming?" Simon asked Jess. "Sure!" Jess said. We all had our suits in our suitcases from Chloe's dad's house and I went to grab mine and Chloe's suits while Tori and Simon grabbed theirs.
I came back and saw Jess with her hands on Chloe's stomach. I rushed over thinking something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" I asked them. "Nothing the babies are kicking." Chloe told me. I sunk down to my knees in front her and looked at her asking for permission to feel her stomach.
She nodded and I placed my hand on her stomach and felt them kick. I smiled happily and then gave Chloe a kiss. I was so happy. "This is one of the best thing's you've ever given me." I told me and she smiled lovingly back at me. It was true. I loved Chloe more than I thought it was ever possible. She gave up her heart to me, she gave up her life, and now she was giving me two beautiful children.
We changed into our suits and got ready to go in the pool. Tori decided she wanted to sunbath so she stayed out while Chloe, Simon and I went in the pool.
I stayed with chloe while she submerged herself up to her shoulders not wanting to get my hair wet. Simon got a waterproof basketball and started tossing it in the nets on either side of the pool.
"Hey D. Wanna play?" Simon asked me. I looked hesitantly at Chloe not wanting to leave her side if she was still not feeling good. She nodded to tell me she'd be all right and to go play.
She sat on the steps of the pool with my right arm resting on a bench type step underwater and her left hand on the sidewalk around the pool, my diamond engagement and wedding rings glittering in the sunlight.
I blocked all of Simon's shots except for when I got distracted by staring at Chloe or talking to her in her head. I would occasionally stop in the middle of the game just to go over to her and make sure she was all right. I got her water from where it was sitting on the table and made sure she kept drinking it. I gave Chloe one last kiss then turned back to my game with Simon.
Once we got out I went over and wrapped my arms around chloes waist where she was standing and shivering. Necromancer's were cold my nature and being wet with a breeze wasn't helping Chloe. In her mind I saw I was helping her with my heat so I sat down on a chair and pulled her in my lap rubbing her stomach.
Jess came out from getting Chloe more water and sat down next to us. "So Derek, Chloe you want to stay here tonight? I'm sure your not up for another car ride, Chloe, even if it is just down the street."
In Chloe's mind I could tell she kind of wanted to just get home already but even if it was for 5 minutes she still didn't feel that great so she didn't want to ride in the car. She then asked me in her mind what I wanted to do.
"Why don't we stay here tonight? I know you want to get home but I'm not letting you anywhere near a car if you still don't feel good." I told her. "Ok good idea thanks." she responded.
"We'll stay here tonight if you don't mind Jess." I told her. "No not at all. It will be fun. We can talk more about the babies." She said excitedly then hurried off to get a room ready for us.
Another thing Chloe had to deal with. Constant attention. She didn't like to be the center of attention and being pregnant made her the center of attention almost all the time.
Everyone was really excited. Dad & Jess were excited to be grandparents for the first time and Simon & Tori excited about being an aunt and uncle.
Chloe saw these thoughts in my head. "No I don't really like being the center of attention but it makes your family happy to dote over me so I'm ok as long as they're happy. Plus I'm excited they're excited because our kids are going to be the most spoiled kids of all time." she said and we laughed.
So what do you think? Review please! 10 reviews and I start writing Chapter 3.
