DEREK POV

After a while of Chloe holding the twins while they were petting me Clarissa let out a huge yawn. "You tired sweetie? Ok let's get you to bed." Chloe said to her in her 'baby' voice.

Tori took Steven from her and headed into the house with Simon. "Go for a run then come get me when you're ready to change back." She told me before placing a kiss on my muzzle and going inside.

I ran around the house and searched the perimeter before running through the woods. As I was running back towards the house Chloe came out and sat on the front porch steps waiting for me.

I ran up to her and licked her face. She giggled then let me lead her into the woods. She went to get my clothes while I painlessly changed back. She brought me back my clothes and I thanked her with a kiss before pulling them on.

"Are the twins in bed?" I asked her. "Well Clarissa is. Steven wouldn't go to sleep so Tori and Liz are trying to get him to sleep." She told me. We walked inside and Tori was walking around with Steven asleep on her shoulder.

"He asleep?" she whispered to us since she couldn't see his face. "Yeah he is. Thanks." Chloe said taking Steven from her. Tori said it was no problem then gave Chloe a hug and headed home.

"Well I'm going to bed too. Night guys." Liz told us and headed upstairs. I took Steven from Chloe and put him in the co-sleeper with Clarissa on Chloe's side of the bed. (A/N: if you don't know what this is look at the pic in my profile)

Chloe was behind me so while I did that she set up the baby monitor so we could hear them downstairs. We went back downstairs and snuggled on the couch and just talked.

"Steven will be one week old tomorrow. Then Clarissa the day after that." Chloe told me. "A week already. Can you believe it?" I asked her. "No it feels like yesterday I was still pregnant." She told me.

"Now they're going to start developing a lot faster remember?" I told her. During our year on the run from the Cabal the pack had caught up with us.

The pack alpha Elena had seen we were just kids so she ordered her husband, Clay not to kill us. She then got our story about the Edison Group. She was furious someone would be so evil as to do this to children.

She let us all stay with the pack until the problem with the Cabal was resolved. During that time we had all become good friends. Jamie, Jeremy's (the previous pack alpha) girlfriend, had helped Chloe control her powers best she could.

Clay helped me with controlling my changes whenever I wanted and Elena called up some of her friends to help dad train Simon and Tori.

Once we learned to control our powers she presented us to the supernatural council to tell our story. That's how we got cleared from the Cabal and into the jobs we have now.

We continued the friendship with the pack when we moved to our own safe house. Chloe and I would occasionally visit them when we went up to see her dad since the pack was located in New York also.

Clay and Elena had twins who were about 7 now. When Elena found out Chloe was pregnant she told us everything we needed to know about werewolf babies.

She told us after their first week they would start developing rapidly. They would learn how to crawl, talk a little, understand what we we're saying and stand up.

This would happen in a just a few short days or weeks compared to the normal months it takes human babies to learn this.

"Yeah. That doesn't bother me as much as it should. It will be nice to have them be able to communicate a little so we know what's wrong. Especially with how clingy Clarissa's been acting to me lately. And at least they won't grow that quickly so they'll still stay my babies for a while." Chloe said and then let out a yawn.

"Come on let's go to bed." I said, standing up and offering her my hand to help her up. I was worried with all that's been happening with Liz and her powers being drained and now slowly coming back she still hasn't recovered from giving birth. We went upstairs and she snuggled into my arms and fell asleep.

CHLOE POV

I was dreaming when suddenly things went black and I saw a women with golden hair come up to me. "Mom?" I asked the women hopefully. "Hi sweetie." She said and hugged me.

I hugged her back actually surprised I could touch her. "What are you doing here? I thought you had moved on?" I asked her. "Well sweetie it's hard to explain. I moved on to a happier place but I can come back and visit you whenever I want.

I've been watching over you and you just couldn't see me until now." She told me. "I thought I wasn't allowed to make any contact with family at all?" I asked her, confused.

"That's the rule for normal necromancers but you are not. Now that you've brought Elizabeth back your full powers have come in making you the most powerful necromancer in the world." She told me.

"So that means I can see you now?" I asked. "Yes sweetie. You can see me and call me to you whenever you want. That's why Clarissa's been hanging on you lately. I've been waiting until your powers came back until I could contact you.

She's been feeling my spirit and that I wanted you. She didn't know who I was so she needed her mother for reassurance." She told me. "Clarissa can see you too?" I asked surprised.

"Yes. She will be the second most powerful necromancer in the world. You will have to teach her to control her powers when she is older. In the meantime have Derek break off a piece of your amulet.

Then hold it in your hands and concentrate on sending your power into it to protect Clarissa from ghosts. Have her wear it and then your amulet will repair itself and still be effective for you." She explained.

"Thank you mommy. So if I brought Liz back can I bring you back too?" I asked her. "No sweetie. I'm sorry. But I will always be around protecting you and your family, remember that.

I am happy where I am so don't worry about it. Tell your father I love him so much. Tell your wonderful husband I approve of him and am extremely grateful for all he's done for you.

And I am proud of you honey for being such a good mother and a good person. I love you. I've got to go now but one more thing. Have your witch friend Victoria cast a protection spell around Clarissa and Steven too just in case he got any necromancer in him at all.

This will help in case something ever happens to the amulet. Memorize this and have her say this." She told me the spell and I committed it to memory.

"You have to wake up now but remember I'm always here for you. I love you sweetie." She told me as the dream slowly started to fade. I woke up to Derek shaking me.

"Chloe! Chloe! Wake up!" he said. "What happened?" I asked him. "I was watching you sleep when suddenly you started crying and yelling out 'Don't go!' I was worried you were having a nightmare so I woke you up." He told me.

I could see the worry on his face and feel how scared he was I wouldn't wake up so I snuggled into him and put my arms around his waist and he seemed to calm down.

"What happened in your dream?" he asked me, placing a kiss on my forehead. I told him all about my mom. "Wow that's great she's been here all this time. I'm glad she approves of me." He said.

"Uh-Uh. Who wouldn't? Your perfect for me." I told him giving him a kiss. "So when can you break part of my amulet for me?" I asked him. "We can do it right now if you want." He told me.

"Yeah that'd be great. Let's go downstairs though in case something happens that will wake up the twins." I told him. I turned on the baby monitor and followed Derek downstairs.

We sat on the couch and I braced myself and took off my amulet then handed it to Derek. He quickly broke off a piece of it and a big flash of light flashed then the amulet started burning Derek's hand.

I quickly grabbed it hoping since it was my amulet it wouldn't burn me. It stayed completely cool so I held it. "Are you ok Der?" I asked him worriedly. "Yeah I'm ok. Just a little burn mark but that should heal in a few minutes. Anyway, want to try to charm the piece now?" he asked.

"Yeah." I said and put my amulet back on my neck then concentrated on the piece in my hand. I felt Derek send calming feelings through the bond so that helped me relax while I concentrated.

I sent my powers and protection into it just as my mom told me then suddenly it flashed a bunch of colors then settled back into the same purplish color my amulet was. Derek went into the office and came back with some ribbon that was the same as the ribbon my amulet had.

We attached it to the piece then walked upstairs and gently put it over a sleeping Clarissa's head.

THE NEXT MORNING-DEREK POV

The next morning Chloe and I both woke up when Steven started crying. Chloe quickly reached into the co-sleeper and pulled him out so he wouldn't wake Clarissa.

She pulled down the top of her sleeping gown so he could feed. "Good morning Pookie. Did you sleep alright?" Chloe cooed at him in a baby voice. "Pookie?" I asked Chloe in an amused tone.

"What? I read it in a book once and thought it was to adorable." She said. "My son's a werewolf not a 'pookie'." I told her jokingly making quotes with my fingers around pookie.

Steven was done feeding so Chloe brought her knees up and rested him so he was lying on her knees on his back. "Happy one week birthday Pookie." She said and his eyes twinkled as he smiled.

"See he likes Pookie. He's smiling." She told me. "His first smile and it has to be about pookie." I said jokingly. Chloe and I laughed and Steven smiled again.

I started tickling him and he laughed as well as smiled. "Aww you like it when Daddy tickles you don't you?" Chloe said to him as I tickled him and he laughed some more. Clarissa then woke up so I took Steven and continued to try different things to make him laugh and smile.

It's short I know I'm sorry! I'm going to try to update again tonight sometime. What'd you think though? Isn't it a cute little chapter? And just to clarify since the twins both have the werewolf genes after the one-week mark they will both start developing very quickly. That's why Steven was laughing and smiling in one day where as it takes like 6 months for normal human babies to do that. So REVIEW please and I'll update faster!
