A/N: I feel horrible for ending in a cliffy then not updating! But good news! I have 3 stories at once often my ideas get confused so the chapters aren't that good but now I got a notebook and wrote down TONS of ideas for this story! As the kids get older I'll be basing the chapters on experiences I've had with my little cousin since I know next to nothing about kids other than that! Lol OK sorry to ramble! Here's chapter 10!
DEREK POV
Once Liz told Chloe she was one of the most powerful necromancers Chloe suddenly passed out. Clarissa and Steven started crying, sensing their mommy was hurt.
I quickly handed the twins to an awaiting Jess, who had just come in with dad and Melody and then took Chloe's limp body and laid her gently on the couch.
I propped a pillow under her head and feeling how cold she was, took a blanket off the couch and placed it over her. "What did you do to her?" I growl at Liz who's still standing next to Tori, frozen in place, with a worried look on her face.
"I'm not sure but I think she's ok. I think it just took a lot of power to bring me back and she's just exhausted now." Liz told me. I heard another cry from Steven.
He was reaching out towards Chloe while Jess struggled to keep him in her arms. I took Steven from her arms and tried to calm him down. "Shhh, Shhh, Mommy's gonna be ok." I whispered to him, while rocking him gently.
Clarissa started crying then and I finally took both of them in my arms and attempted to soothe them. I took them upstairs and placed them in the nursery, hoping they'd play with the toys to distract themselves.
I sat down in front of their toys and balanced them in my lap. They didn't play with them though just kept trying to look through the door as if Chloe would walk through it any second.
I went downstairs and gave them to Jess and Tori to hold while I brought their swings down. I went into the nursery and grabbed the mechanical swings.
(A/N: Do you all get what this is? It's those swing things that you lay the baby in the car seat type thing and hit a button and it gently swings them back and forth?)
I placed them in front of the fireplace, facing towards Chloe on the couch. Jess and Tori placed them in the swings and I gave them their pacifiers and blankets.
Everyone went to the sitting room across the hall to wait for Chloe to wake up. Clarissa and Steven had stopped crying and were just swinging and watching Chloe's unconscious form lying on the couch.
I kept pacing and wouldn't stop, even when both dad and Jess tried to stop me. Finally, about an hour later, Chloe's eyelids started flickering open. I rushed to her side and grabbed her hand.
"D-D-Derek?" Chloe said slowly. "I'm right here. It's okay." I told her. "What happened?" she asked me. "We're not sure but Liz thinks you're just tired since it took a lot of power to make her human again." I told her. "Oh."
She told me and tried to sit up then laid back down. "What's wrong?" I asked her. "I'm just a little dizzy." She said. I helped her into a sitting position and then the twins started crying.
I took them out of their swings and brought them over to Chloe. Placing Steven in her arms he immediately stopped crying and started tugging on loose pieces of Chloe's hair, as if to reassure himself she was actually there.
Chloe started to stroke his head and he reached up and grabbed onto her fingers. He suddenly cried out when he grabbed her finger with the ring on it and the diamond went into his hand.
Chloe kissed his palm then gave him her pointer finger to hold onto. After letting Steven hold onto Chloe for a bit longer I took him and handed Chloe Clarissa. A
fter a while I put Steven in his swing and then was about to take Clarissa when she grabbed Chloe's amulet and held onto it, not wanting to let her mommy go. It was such a precious sight.
I went and picked Steven back up and placed him in Chloe's arms. She held both twins and it was such a beautiful sight that I took my phone from my pocket and took pictures.
Then I walked into the sitting room and everyone glanced up anxiously. "She's awake." I told them and they all got up to follow me to the living room.
I sat on the end of the couch and Chloe snuggled into my side, with the twins still in her arms and I put my arm around her.
Once everyone had finished telling Chloe how happy he or she were she was alright Tori asked Chloe where her phone was then got it and started taking pictures of me, Chloe and the twins.
After Tori was done that everyone sat down and we began to talk. "So I brought you back to life? Your actually human now?" Chloe asked Liz. "Yes you did and I can't thank you enough." Liz said.
"I'm glad I could do it. You didn't deserve to die." Chloe told her. "And well actually I was testing it out and I still have my powers." Liz told her and then suddenly the water bottle on the table beside the couch flew into Chloe's hands.
"Well that's great!" Chloe said. "Um Chloe? I hate to bother you but can I borrow some clothes?" Liz asked her. Chloe gave me the twins and then got up.
"Sure come on upstairs and I'll get you something. But it might take a while. All I have now are my maternity clothes. The rest are buried at the back of the closet." Chloe told Liz and headed upstairs.
CHLOE POV
I headed upstairs and led Liz to mine and Derek's bedroom. "Go ahead and sit on the bed. It'll take me a minute to dig my clothes up." I told her.
I went into the walk-in closet and hit the touch screen that showed all our clothes options. I entered my passcode and when it asked for type I hit pre-pregnancy then casual.
The racks came around exposing my clothes. I grabbed enough outfits for a week then put them in my suitcase and brought them out to Liz.
"Here are the clothes. It should last until we have a chance to go shopping for you." I told her. She rummaged through the bag. "Thanks Chloe. These are nice clothes." She told me.
"If you like them keep them." I told her. "Really?" she asked, surprised. "Sure. I'm not going to be able to fit in them for a while and I'll probably have to go buy new clothes anyway." I told her.
"Yeah but you didn't get that big." She said pointing at my post-pregnancy stomach. I laughed. "Well no not huge but still pretty big. But that's what happens when you have twins and one of them is a werewolf." I told her and laughed again.
"Oh I forgot something!" I told her and walked into my closet again. I came out and threw something at her. She grabbed it and was shocked to see it was her old hoodie.
"Thanks Chloe!" she said. She then started zoning out, probably thinking of her time at the Lyle House. After a while I gave her a tour of the house and then finished in the nursery.
"So you like it?" I asked her. "Yeah it's amazing!" she said. "Good! Welcome to your new home!" I told her. She looked at me in shock then started jumping up and down and hugged me.
"Thank you Chloe! Thank you so much!" she told me excitedly. I laughed and hugged her back. "No problem. I already talked to Derek about it and I'm giving Kari and Nate my aunt's old house and then you can turn the bedroom into whatever you want." I told her.
"Sounds great! Thanks so much!" she told me. "So what are your jobs?" she asked me as we headed downstairs.
"We all work for this special secret branch of government. It's run by other supernaturals. Our job is to help with any supernatural-type issue.
I get a picture and description of a person and then I summon their ghost and either get information they had before they died or find out if it was another supernatural that killed them.
Derek acts as my bodyguard during this since with our bond he can stop a ghost from possessing me. It's hard to explain. Then Simon draws a sketch if the ghost was murdered of who killed them.
Tori hacks into computer files and finds out information about any other projects like the Edison Group. Then they send a team in to rescue the victims and if we can we all teach them something about their powers and then send them off to life semi-normal lives." I told her.
"Oh." She said after a minute of processing what I just told her. "What bond were you talking about?" she asked me. "Oh well a werewolf and their mate have this bond where they can read each others minds and communicate through their thoughts." I told her.
"Oh ok that's why Derek always seemed to know when I was near you." She said. We reached the living room and I saw Derek had Steven and Clarissa on his lap.
Steven immediately outstretched his arms to me and I picked him up and placed a kiss on his forehead. "Hey guys? I have something important to say." I told everyone.
Simon turned off the TV and everyone turned to look at me. "Ok well. Kari and Nate. I have a surprise for you guys. I want you two to move into the house just next door to Kit and Jess's house." I told them excitedly.
"That'd be great Chloe but we can't afford it. We barely make rent in the apartment we both share now." Kari said sadly. Kari and Nate we're sharing an apartment in Buffalo.
They told us their parents had both died in a tragic car accident about a year ago while coming back from dinner one night. Now Kari and Nate we're using their inheritance money to rent the apartment together and look for work.
"Well there's no need to buy it. I already own it and I'm giving it to you guys." I told them. "Really? That'd be amazing Chloe thanks so much! But are you sure?" Nate asked me.
"Yep. It was my aunt's house before she died and then it got left to me and the house was already paid off so it's just been sitting there empty. But now I can give it to you guys!" I told them. A
fter that Kit and Jess took Melody home for her naptime and Simon, Tori, Nate and Kari went swimming in our pool. I sent my dad the picture Tori took of Derek, the twins and me.
'Such beautiful children sweetie! I'm so sorry I wasn't there when they were born. Everything ok with you?' he texted me. 'Yep I'm great, just tired. And the twins are perfectly healthy too.' I replied.
'Good. Listen I'll be home tonight any chance you guys could drive up with the twins tomorrow?' he asked. I looked at Derek, sitting next to me on the couch and he nodded.
'Sure sounds great. I'll call you when we leave to let you know when we'll get there.' 'Ok bye honey. See you tomorrow. Love you.' 'Love you too daddy.' I said then handed my phone to Derek to put on the table next to the couch.
"I'm gonna go tell everyone our plans. You ok with the twins for a while?" I asked him, glancing over to where they were falling asleep on their swings. "Yep. I got it." Derek said and I put on a pair of sunglasses and walked out to the pool.
Simon and Nate had Kari and Tori on their shoulders and they were playing chicken. "Hey guys!" I called out to them. They glanced over at me then Simon and Nate put the girls down and everyone swam over to where I was standing by the side of the pool.
"Hey Chloe, what's up?" Kari asked me. I told them how Derek and I were taking the twins to see my dad tomorrow. "So why don't Kari and Nate you guys come with us and you guys can pack everything up from your apartment and move it down here?" I asked them.
"Sure sounds good. All we have is clothes and stuff like that. None of the furniture's ours. " Kari told me. "Great! Then we'll get ahold of some boxes and you guys can pack while Derek and I spend the day at my dads. Sound good?" I asked.
"Sounds like a plan." Nate said. "Can we go?" Tori asked me. "Yeah we can help them pack." Simon said. "Sure. But you guys will have to take your own car then." I told them.
THE NEXT DAY
Around noon everyone loaded their cars up and we got ready to go. I fed Clarissa and Steven one more time before we left then headed out to the car.
I strapped Steven into his car seat while Derek strapped Clarissa in hers. I then put The Little Mermaid in Clarissa's TV, strapped to the back of the passenger seat, and Tarzan in Steven's TV.
We got in the car and pulled out with Simon, Tori, Kari and Nate in the car behind us. About an hour into the ride both Clarissa and Steven fell asleep. 2 hours later we pulled into my dad's driveway.
Simon pulled the other car next to us. They all were going to come say hi to my dad before they headed over to Kari and Nate's apartment.
Derek and I were undoing the car seat straps when Clarissa and Steven both woke up. Clarissa started crying and Derek quickly finished undoing her straps and pulled her out and took Steven from me.
Clarissa was definitely a daddy's girl from what we could tell but when she woke up she always wanted to be held by me. Steven was very attached to me and also wanted to be held when he woke up but always accepted Derek holding him.
I rang the doorbell and dad opened the door and we walked in. Once I set the diaper bag down I walked over to my dad. "Dad meet Clarissa Jennifer Souza and Steven Kit Souza." I told him and placed Clarissa in his waiting arms.
"You named him after me? Thank you! And you even included your moms name with Clarissa." He said and started to tear up, both from the happiness we named Steven after him and the thought of mom.
Clarissa started to fuss and he handed her back to me. "She looks almost exactly like you when you were a baby except for her eyes." He told me. "Really?" I asked him.
He went upstairs and came back down shortly holding a baby picture of me. I showed it to Derek and then Tori took it from Derek.
"Your dad's right Chloe. If Clarissa had just your blue eyes she would look almost exactly like you as a baby." Tori said. "Your almost the exact image of your mother." Dad said.
"Where has the time gone? My baby girl has babies of her own. I only wish your mother were here." He said sadly. "She's here with us in spirit dad." I told him and he kissed the top of my head, choking back tears.
