Chapter 47: The Anaconda Vs. The Viper

Randy's POV; the next morning

"Babe, are you awake?"

Amanda's voice pulled me out of my slumber like a fisherman pulling his catch out of the water, her voice lulling me out of my personal dreamland. I slowly open my eyes to see Amanda staring at me. She was looking at me with a small smile on her face and was already dressed to exercise her cute little ass off in her sports bra and sweatpants. Before I even speak, I take a good look at her torso, smirking to see that the work Amanda had been putting in her workouts were paying off these last couple of weeks.

"Well good morning to you two, my sexy snake mama . . ." I say with a smirk as I reach out and grab her wrist. "I see you're wide awake. Do you care to explain why?"

"Well isn't it obvious?" she asks me with a small smirk on her face as she moves her face closer to mine. "I'm about to go exercise right now. The question now is whether or not you're going to join me for the workout."

"Hmm . . . that depends," I say with a chuckle as I pull her closer to the bed. "What do I get in return for being your company during your workout this morning?"

"Do you have something in mind Mr. Viper?" she asks me in a playful manner as she leans her face closer to mine. I try to sneak a kiss to her lips, but she moves her head back before I could connect. "Was one simple kiss what you wanted? We both know you can do better than that Ran. . ."

"Yeah; I know I can do better . . ." I tell her as I used my other hand to grab her hip and swing her around, sending her right onto her side of the mattress face first. "Especially when I want something more than just a simple little kiss."

"You want something more than just a simple kiss, don't you?" she asks me with a knowing glint in her eye as I wrap my arm snugly around her waist.

"Yes . . . Can you guess what I want from you?" I ask with a smirk as I wrap my leg around both of hers, hoping that she gets the hint from the action alone.

"I may have an idea babe. . ." 'Manda tells me with a smirk as I begin to nuzzle her neck. "Hmm . . . someone's feeling a little frisky this morning."

"What can I say? I'm in a good mood today . . ." I tell her as I kissed her jugular vein before trailing down to her shoulder. "So 'Manda, how about we really connect for a while before we get into the workout routine huh?"

"I don't know . . ." she tells me as I watch her scrunch her eyebrows together. "We tend to get a little too loud when we're having our fun. With their sensitive hearing, we could easily wake up Dani and Gabi in the next room."

"That's what their noise counseling headphones are for babe . . ." I say with a smirk as I kissed her on the side of her forehead. "If we put their headphones on, then they won't hear us. Problem solved."

"What about Wade and Monica? They're still here too you know, a little down the hall to be exact. They could hear us . . ." she tells me snidely as she rolls us around so that she was on top of me, her long legs straddling my waist. "Do you have a solution to that issue?"

"I do actually . . ." I say with a small chuckle as I put my hands behind my head. "We could use your shield to surround us. That way, no one would have to hear us while we go at it."

"That won't work . . . I would be too distracted to keep my shield up, if you know what I mean," she tells me as she quickly pecks my lips. "Do you have any other ideas?"

"None at the moment, but I will think of one soon enough . . ." I tell her with a smirk on my face. ". . . Just give me some time to plot it out."

"Well, if you insist . . ." she tells me with a smirk as one of the girls starts to cry out from within the nursery. "That's probably Gabi. Whenever she starts crying as soon as she wakes up in the morning, it's usually because she's hungry."

"Well then . . . you shouldn't keep Gabi waiting then babe." I tell her as I sit back up and give her a quick peck on the nose. Amanda returns it with a peck of her own before departing me and the bed to head to the room next door. I heard her voice trying to calm Gabi down while I grabbed some workout clothes from the dresser. I quickly change clothes and brush my teeth in the bathroom before walking into the nursery to see 'Manda sitting in the rocking chair breastfeeding Gabi. I sneak a quick look at Dani that her eyes were already opening up, so I walked over to the crib instead to tend to her before getting to my mate.

"Hey there Dani . . ." I say in a soft voice as I gently took her out of her crib and held her in my arms. "Did you have a restful sleep?"

She only answers me with the softest of mumbles, her eyes looking at me curiously as I walked over to her mother.

"Is she hungry?" 'Manda asks me curiously as she de-latches Gabi from her boob and pulls her sports bra back into place.

"Not yet, but she probably will be in a few minutes," I tell her with a smirk as I watch her burp the younger twin. "So, are you ready to work out babe? I'm ready when you are."

"I'm ready, but we can't just leave the girls in here while we're out exercising," she tells me as she looks at the mobile crib. "Push the mobile crib out into the back room. I'll grab the girls' headphones."

"Sounds like a plan to me . . ." I say with a smirk as I grab it with my free hand and pull it out the room. "When we get there first, what do you want to start with first?"

"I guess we could start with some cardio . . ." 'Manda tells me unsurely as we walk down the hallway to the back room. "But to be honest, I'm really itching to get back into the ring. I haven't been in that ring in a long while."

"How long has it been since you've stepped in the ring again?" I ask curiously as we walk over to the chairs by the side of the ring.

"I think the last time I was actually in the ring was the day we met you know who's mom out by that forest trail." she tells me warily as she takes a seat. I hesitate for a moment to process her words, a scowl coming across my face as I looked back at the memory.

"'Manda, did you ever find out what happened to Sergei's mother?" I ask her suddenly as I placed Dani back into the crib. She looks at me curiously, probably wondering why I was even asking her that question in the first place.

"Well, I asked Bob about it once while you were away . . ." she tells me as she turned to look out the window. "Sergei's mother disappeared after you and the others rescued me from his . . . ugh, celebration party. No one has seen Anastasia since that night."

"I wouldn't be surprised if that bastard did something horrible to his own mother. That's just the kind of person he was," I grumble with a scowl on my face as I sit down in the seat next to her. "Oh . . . I'm sorry about my use of language 'Manda. I know you don't like it when I get all vulgar around the twins."

"No . . . it's okay . . . I understand how you feel," she tells me as she places Gabi down next to her sister. "But let's not dwell so much on the past okay Randy. What happened with Sergei is long behind us. Let's just focus on the present okay? I want you focused when we start fighting in the ring okay? I don't want a spaced out Viper."

"So you have demanded it and so it shall be . . ." I say with a smirk as Dani's stomach begins to rumble. "Well . . . after you feed and burp Dani of course."

"Yeah . . . after I feed and burp Dani of course . . ." she repeats back to me as she picks the older twin up. "After this, then we fight."

Normal POV

Randy waited patiently as Amanda breastfed Daniella until she was full. Once she finished feeding and burping her, Amanda placed one of the headphones over Daniella's ears while Randy quickly did the same with Gabriella. The parents placed their daughters back in their crib side by side, both of them watching the sleepy looking tykes with smiles on their faces.

"You know, to this day, I still can't believe I gave birth to these two little girls . . ." 'Manda said with a small sigh as she leaned back into Randy's chest. "It's still so surreal for me."

"Well believe it baby because here they are, right in front of your face," said Randy with a small smile on his face as he rubbed the sides of Amanda's arms for comfort. "You're their mother and I'm their father. It's as simple as that."

"And as their mother and father, don't you think we should at least have one photo together as a family? Like, a professionally done photo?" asked the Anaconda as she looked up at his smirking face.

"Did our moms give you that idea during Thanksgiving yesterday?" Randy asked her knowingly as he pecked her forehead.

"No . . ." said 'Manda as she shook her head. "It was our mothers AND our grandmothers that gave me the idea, and I got to say Ran. It's not that bad of an idea."

"Yeah . . . well, let's wait till the girls are a little older before starting to do the whole professional family photo thing okay?" said Randy as he began to guide his mate over to the ring. "Right now, we have a workout to get through. Care to start off with a little wrestling match?"

"That sounds like a good idea," said Amanda as she rolled herself into the ring. "But how about we make things a little more interesting?"

"I'm listening . . ." said Randy as he rolled in after her. "You want to make a wager?"

"Sure, but I'll let you name your terms first . . ." said Amanda as she got to her feet and stretched out her arms. "So Mr. Viper, what would you like if you win our little match?"

"I want two things from you actually . . ." said the Viper as he followed her into one of the corners. "The first thing is that you would have to get a tattoo of my choice, and I get to pick the spot where it's placed."

"That's fine, but if you're planning to make me get a tattoo that's related to the girls, I already beat you to it . . ." said Amanda as she held her long curly hair up in a ponytail and turned around so that her back faced him. "Pull my bra up a little and you'll see it right inside the butterfly tattoo, right in its center."

"Okay . . ." said Randy as a playful smirk came across his face. He pulled the back of her bra up to see that not only did Amanda get her tattoos redone, but that she had some new ink done right in the middle of her butterfly tattoo. Inside the insect themed tattoo were Dani and Gabi's names, date, and times of birth, all of it written in cursive writing with the butterfly tattoo serving as a border. Randy couldn't help but smile at the tattoo and eventually leaned down and kissed the new ink, which sent a small shiver right down the Anaconda's spine. "It's beautiful 'Manda."

"None of the tattoo design ideas my tattoo artist showed me were to my liking, so I just told her to just put it in the butterfly," said Amanda as she pulled her bra down and turned around to face him. "It saves up space for any potential new ink that way . . . So, have you decided on any new ink yet?"

"Not really . . . but after looking at your redone ink, it's given me a few ideas," said the Viper as he looked down at the tattoo rose on his arm which he got in Alanna's honor, which was also the only colored design that he had in his massive collection of body ink. "So, are you ready to hear the second thing I want if I win our wrestling match?"

"Oh . . . I think I can guess what it is . . ." said 'Manda as she followed Randy's gaze down to her cleavage. "But remember, if you want to get at these puppies of mine, you're going to have to beat me first."

"Oh trust me, I will . . ." said Randy as he walked backward to the other corner across the ring. "I already have all the motivation I need, and babe, please try not to look in my mind during this match okay."

"Uh huh . . . I won't look in your mind. I've seen your moves many times before hon. it's nothing new to me," said Amanda as she tied her hair up in a ponytail with a rubber band. "Now, let's see how much that motivation will get you . . ."

Randy only look at her with a confident smirk before he went all steely eyed at her, his stoic glare coming into place as the two started to circle the ring slowly. The two continued to eye each other, both of them a little wary of what the other could possibly be planning to do. They circled each other twice, before Randy decided to make the first move, lunging for his mate as soon as she moved her eyes from him for a split second. Amanda quickly sidestepped his attack, letting the Viper run himself straight into the turnbuckle shoulder first. While he was distracted, Amanda went down to the mat and tried to pin him with a roll up, but Randy broke free just in time. The two broke away from each other and went back to their respective corners, keeping their eyes on each other the entire time.

"Lunging for me as soon as I took my eyes off you . . . nice try Randy," said Amanda as he let a playful chuckle pass her lips. "You're gonna have to do better than that if you want to beat me."

"You shouldn't start sounding so cocky babe . . . You haven't won this match yet," said the Viper as he rolled out his shoulder. "And speaking of winning, you never told me what you want if you were to win our match."

"I only have one simple request from you . . ." said Amanda as she went down into a small crouch. "If I win, you have to finally take me out on my first hunt Mr. I can't go living the rest of my existence without knowing how to hunt animals for their blood you know . . ."

"You could just ask another vampire we know to teach you how to hunt . . ." suggested Randy as he did a few trunk twists.

"I know, but you promised me that you were going to take me on my first hunt . . ." argued Amanda as she cracked her knuckles. "Please don't tell me you're going to go back on your promise. I would be so disappointed in you if you did."

"Like I would ever take back a promise I made to you baby . . ." said Randy as he flexed out his fingers. "I do intend on showing you how to hunt, but I'm going to make sure I win this match so that I can get what I want. Then we'll focus on what you want okay?"

"At least I know you have your priorities in order . . ." mumbled the Anaconda a she went for a clothesline to the Viper's neck, but he moved out of the way before she could connect. Randy tried to trap her with a bear hug, but Amanda moved away and gave him a hard slap to the chest in return. She then started to give him a series of hard kicks to his shins, before hitting him with a high kick to the shoulder that he hit the turnbuckle with. Randy winced in pain and clutched at his bad shoulder, never noticing 'Manda as she quickly ran behind him to put him in a headlock.

"It seems someone's hypermobile shoulders are starting to get to him again . . ." Amanda said with a small chuckle. "This doesn't look good for you babe . . ."

"I'm not giving up that easy baby . . ." Randy choked out as he quickly flipped his mate to the ground. Amanda quickly squirmed her way out of his grasp and literally kicked him in the ass, sending the Viper right onto his knees. Amanda tried to kick him in his bad shoulder, but Randy caught her foot in the attempt and tugged, sending her body crashing to the mat ass first once again. He then put her in a headlock. ". . . Had enough baby?"

"Not . . . in the slightest," Amanda choked out as she started to elbow him in the gut, but Randy didn't break his grip in the slightest. "Damn your rock hard abs!"

"Hey! I have to keep these abs in shape for you babe, as well as for my job . . ." said Randy as he pecked her on the side of the forehead. "Just give up already hon, and maybe I'll go easy on you."

"You did not just say that . . ." Amanda said in an icy cold tone of voice as she managed to turn her head to face him. Randy's eyes widened in shock as he saw that his mate's eyes were now shifting to the familiar reddish hue that was the focal point of her Anaconda persona and his hold on his headlock began to slip. Amanda used that opportunity to break free, and with a smile, she suddenly RKO'd him to the mat, using his own signature move against him. Amanda quickly got up on her knees and looked at the fallen man before him, her eyes looking at his unmoving body with a serious expression. "I don't care if you have known me since we were practically babies Randal . . . You should never go easy on me or take me for granted when we wrestle. You got that?"

"Yeah . . . I got it . . ." Randy mumbled into the mat. He then suddenly leapt up from his spot on the mat and tackled 'Manda to the mat, climbing on top of her and pinning her arms to her side with a smirk on his face. "But then again, you know as well as I do that I don't take too kindly to people that use my signature finisher against me."

"Really . . .?" Amanda asked, playing dumb as she shot him a mock innocent expression. "I had no idea."

"Don't play dumb with me babe . . . You know it just as well as I do," said Randy as he quickly looked down at her body before fixing his gaze at her face once again. "I don't let people who use my move get away with it. You know that . . . Now, how am I going to punish you?"

"C'mon . . ." said 'Manda with a roll of her eyes. "I know you Randy. We both know exactly how you want to 'punish' me."

"Yeah . . . That's true." said Randy before he moved his head down and slammed his lips down onto 'Manda's own. As they began to breathlessly make out, Randy moved his right hand to the back of his mate's neck while moving his left hand to skim across her butt. Amanda smirked in their kiss before rolling them over so that she was the one on top.

"Hmm . . . I see you want to really connect just as much as I do baby . . ." Randy whispered into Amanda's ear as he gave her ass a soft slap. "You're acting just as frisky as me . . ."

"Hmm . . . I guess some of your mannerisms are rubbing off on me then . . ." said Amanda as she gave him a soft peck on the lips. "And yes . . . I do admit. I have been a little . . . annoyed about the lack of sex these past weeks."

"Hey . . . we couldn't help it," said Randy as the two turned toward where the twins crib was at. "Our two little bundles of joy had to come first; our sexual needs had to come later. . . And now that our little girls are finally out of you, we don't have to worry about anything coming in our way during our fun ever again. . . How does that sound?"

"That sounds wonderful . . ." Amanda said with a big grin as they heard the sounds of footsteps heading toward them. The two looked up to see al already dressed for the day Monica and Wade walking toward them with small smirk on their faces, mostly because they caught the snake couple while they were having their little moment. ". . . I was wondering when you two would finally wake up this morning. Did you two have a restful sleep?"

"Yeah . . . we just tend to sleep late on the nights before the night of a full moon," said Monica as she raised her head up so that the two vampires could see the feverish look in her eyes. "And we definitely feel like tonight's the night."

"Do you have any idea on where you guys are going to go before the change comes along?" asked Randy as Amanda climbed off him so that he could sit up.

"We were thinking of a few areas, but most of the ones that come to mind are part of the state parks near the city. There's bound to park rangers patrolling those areas, even if it's night," said Wade as he shook his head.

"Plus, the parks have been kept open later than usual for animal hunters," mumbled Monica as she leaned against the side of the ring. "There's been an increase of bears, deer, and mountain lions in the area and the park officials are hoping with the public's help, they'll be able to curb the populations of those animals, especially the mountain lions."

"Well . . . I think 'Manda and I could help a little in that department . . ." said Randy as a small smirk came across his face. "We're planning to go hunting up in the park north of the city actually."

"We are?" Amanda asked him in absolute shock as she turned to him wide eyed.

"We are . . ." Randy told her in a knowing tone of voice as he patted her on the head. "Look, I know I've been delaying this for a long time, but I think it's time I finally took you out on your first hunt."

"Well, it took your procrastinating ass long enough . . ." mumbled Amanda as she playfully turned away from him with a pout on her face, which earned a slight chuckle out of Wade.

"Huh, now that I think about it, Becky, Nate, and Marvin were all planning to go out hunting at the same park you just mentioned," said Monica as she brought a hand to her chin. "We can make it a family affair. The grandparents and great grandparents are planning to do a little game night between them, so Dani and Gabi could stay with them while the rest of us go out."

"That sounds fair enough . . ." said Amanda as he turned to her sister. "What are you guys going to do till then?"

"Well for starters, Wade and I are going to go out on a little jog, so we're going to leave the two of you to . . . whatever you were doing before we came in here." said Monica as she let a knowing smirk come across her face.

"We were just wrestling, that's all . . ." Randy said as he tried to play it off, but the werewolf couple wasn't buying it.

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that mate." said Wade as he shook his head while following his girlfriend out the room. "We'll see you two later!"

"Is my story that hard to believe?" asked Randy as he watched Amanda roll out the ring.

"Babe, they walked in on us when I was on top of you straddling your waist while one of your hands was lying on my butt," said Amanda as she walked over to the twins' crib. "What do you think?"

"I think they need to stop thinking so negatively of us," Randy said playfully as he followed after her. "But yeah, I don't blame them for thinking the way they probably did."

"It was fun though . . ." said Amanda as she shook her head. "And hopefully, we can do a repeat performance later?"

"Oh . . . A repeat performance?" asked Randy as a grin spread across his face as he wrapped his arms around Amanda's slim waist. "Now, I think that can definitely be arraigned."
