McKensie and Lara
Damon checked everything, he made a few changes to make an elaborate inside pool and patio with bag windows. "What do you think? Is it perfect enough?"Mae held him close and sighed resting her head on his chest "it's just so soon...I know it says it only takes 8 days for it to work, but..." She trailed off, she was scared and she wasn't sure how this would affect her test with the Elders.
Lexi nodded and grinned, hugging him. "It looks amazing." She said, overjoyed. "I don't know why your doing so much for me though." She said shaking her head. She didn't think he should spend any money on her at all. Torch nodded, stroking a hand through her hair. "It's ok. You'll be ok. We'll work through this, ok?" He said, hugging her against him.
Damon shook his head and nipped at her neck "I'd do anything for you Lex, and money isn't an issue at all...whatever you want I will do, I love you...I don't deserve you."Mae sighed and nodded snuggling against him "will the Elders be upset?..." She asked looking up into his eyes and running her fingers through his hair.
Lexi felt tears fill her eyes, hot tears of joy. She hugged him tightly and hid her face against his chest. "No. I don't deserve you. I don't deserve your love and your sacrifice. You could have killed me. By all rights I should be dead." She said softly. Torch sighed softly, nodding reluctantly. "Yes they will. But don't worry. You wont be in trouble." He assured. "I probably will, for doing it with you. But they wont blame you." He assured her.
Damon frowned and shook his head "even then I knew you were special and amazing." He carefully wiped her cheeks and rubbed her back "please don't ever feel guilty or...like you don't deserve this alright?"Mae gripped onto him tightly "no! I won't let them..." She was terrified to lose him "you need to be junior's daddy..."
Lexi nodded, hugging him tightly. "Ok." She whispered, even though deep down she thought this was too good to ever happen to her. But she hid that away, for him. "I love you so much." She whispered, realizing it sounded cheesy, but it was true. Torch hugged her against him, his hand resting on her head. "Hey. It's ok. I'll still be the father." He said softly, running his hand over her head slowly. "They wont kill me Mae. But they wont let it go unnoticed. It's a strict rule not to well... impregnate anyone before the month is up. It creates complications." he explained. "I'll be ok, alright? I regenerate, remember?"
Damon smiled and tilted her face up so that he could see her "yet, I still love you more...now let's get the construction guys in here, they are demons so it won't take long at all...but we have to be out of the house."Mae sniffed tears streaming down her cheeks "isn't there anything I can do to clear your name? I don't want them to hurt you...I love you, there is no complications...everything is still going as planned!"
Lexi nodded slowly, smiling into those mesmerizing eyes of his. She raised an eyebrow when he said they were all demons. "And I never would have known that there were demon construction workers..." She shook her head slowly. "Alright. So, where will we go then?" She asked, looking up at him. Torch shook his head. "I'm afraid not. Unless you aren't really pregnant, there isn't anything you can do." He kissed her forehead gently. "I have to tell them that you're with child Mae. They will kill me if we hide it. They will kill both of us. I'd rather they punish me, than kill us both." He said softly, begging her to understand. "I'll be ok." He promised again, more worried about her than himself.
Damon smiled on the phone with them before he hung up and shrugged "Demons can work wherever they want, and we are going to dinner with the others. Torch just isn't calling like he said he would!" Slightly irritated with his best mate.Mae sighed and caressed his cheek knowing there wasn't anyway around it. She nodded slowly and more tears streamed down. "I understand...but I want to come with you when you tell them..."
Lexi chuckled softly. "Well. I can't blame him very much. You and I have been rather busy. I'm sure he is as well." She said, squeezing his hand gently. "He'll probably call soon, begging for forgiveness." She smiled up at him. Torch leaned into her touch, but he paled at her request. "No Mae." He whispered, shaking his head a little. "I don't want you to watch." He said softly, looking down at her, his eyes filling with pain.
Damon smiled a little she always kept things in perspective for him. He nuzzled her soft hair loving the flowery scent "you are right...I've ignored his calls too. We are both in the wrong."Just then a note whizzed through the air, it was black parchment with red writing. Mae took it and paled "they want to meet with us both...and I have to get a doctor's exam." She gave him the note.
Lexi smiled. "Yes. You are. But you get brownie points for being cuter." She teased, kissing him briefly. "Should we just head out to the place and hope they show up, or what?"Torch swore, his hands clenching into fists. "I really don't agree with them sometimes." He growled. "Ok. Well. I guess we have to go to hell." He said, shaking his head. "Hold on." he told her, his wings spreading. he dove at the floor, but passed right through it, as if falling into a deep dark well with Mae in his arms. he pumped his wings, leveling out as an orangey red glow grew up ahead. He landed right in front of the massive black cast iron gates.
Damon nodded "that sounds good to me love" he heard the construction workers fly in and grabbed his keys and took her arm "thought we would drive for a change."Mae blinked amazed, her eyes glowed so she could see in the dark. The gates opened and a tall dark overt attractive guy glowered at them "they are waiting for you in the main hall."
Lexi nodded, smiling. "Sure." she agreed, walking with him to the car. She slipped into the passenger side and did up the seat belt, smiling over at him before looking out the window. "Right." Torch said, marching past. He was rather stiff, his eyes glowing with a certain fire that only showed when he was frustrated or angry. He made sure to walk at a pace Mae could keep up with however, as he guided her towards the large, black marble building and into the cavernous main hall.
Damon drove to the restaurant and parked opening the door for her and smiling leading her inside to the waiting area. He frowned not seeing a sign of them at all.Mae couldn't take it all in, it was intimidating but beautiful. She glanced at Torch he was practically sizzling with anger she squeezed his hand lightly trying to help. The main hall had a long table with many types of people a woman stood when they entered. She looked at a woman in a white doctor's coat "Doctor, will you escort Mae to the exam room?"
Lexi sat down on one of the benches provided inside, and leaned her elbow on the back, her eyes scanning the place. She couldn't see them here, which puzzled them. "Is there any way to communicate with them, other than using phones?" She asked. "Like... I don't know, some way to get their attention with magic?" She asked him in a hushed tone as there were other people around. The woman walked over, hands in the pockets of her white coat. She smiled at Mae gesturing for her to follow.
Torch sighed softly, resigning to their fate. He kissed her cheek. "See you after this is all over, ok?" He asked, watching as the doctor pulled Mae into another room. Then he turned back and faced the remaining people in the room. "Let's get this over with shall we?" He asked, walking over slowly, but staying a few paces away.
Damon nodded and sighed "They are in the Underground right now...so they can't respond" it meant trouble, and he was worried for his friends. He wrapped his arm around her "might just be the two of us."Mae sighed and followed the woman into a typical looking doctors exam room, except the walls were black and the table. She looked at the doctor nervously, she hated any doctor and now it literally was He'll.
The woman sat down and glanced at the leader in the center as he stood up. "Torch, we expected more from you. Deliberately disobeying out rules...causing your turned to be in pain and burdened with a child. We cannot do anything until the Doctor confirms she is carrying."
Lexi paled. Underground... so... hell? Why would they be down there? Yes, they were demons, but they weren't supposed to be down there until the evaluation, right? So was something wrong? "O-ok." She whispered. The doctor smiled at her gently. "This will only take a minute darling. Put this on please." She said, handing Mae a thin hospital gown. Once the girl was changed, the doctor motioned to the bed, asking her to hop up. "Feet here please." She said, pointing to the stirrups. "Relax honey." She said, before pulling out a couple instruments. She inserted them one by one into Mae, nodding the whole time. Then she went to the door. "You can put your clothes on." She said, before leaving to join everyone in the main hall. "She's pregnant." She announced.
Torch ignored their comments, just glaring darkly. Yeah sure. He was disobeying. But it was for the women he loved. And he didn't regret his actions. However, he had been hoping that Mae might not be pregnant. The doctor's words shattered that hope.
Damon sighed worriedly and kissed her cheek "I'm sure they'll be fine, we'll just wait and see probably is nothing."Mae just stared at the ceiling after she left, they would hurt him now...there was no doubt about it she was going to be a mom. She sat up and got dressed heading back out to Torch and looked at him with tearful eyes as she held onto his side.
The leader nodded at the doctor and glared at Torch "Take him to the torture room...do regular prodical and then send them back up. There will be no test now because of her condition, but she will deliver the baby here."
Mae shook her head refusing to let him go as the guards tried to take him "No!"
Lexi nodded hugging him. She was nervous. Very nervous. She wanted to know if Mae was ok. She would hate for their friends to be in trouble. "Should we go eat?" she wanted to do something to take her mind off them, as she knew they couldn't do anything for them at the moment. Torch pulled Mae away from his side, knowing fighting would just make everything harder. "Hey. Shhh. Shhhh. I'll be alright. I shouldn't be gone more than an hour." He promised. "I'll see you soon." He promised, letting the others hold Mae as he was pulled away from her.
Damon nodded and followed the waiter to their table he sat down after Lexi and sighed trying to figure out what to order. He took her hand from under the table and stroke it lightly and lovingly trying to calm her down.Mae burst into tears and sank to the floor as the demons took her into a waiting room where they got her everything she would need for the pregnancy. She didn't care, all she wanted was Torch. An hour went by and she looked up as the door opened "Torch?..."
Lexi managed a smile for him. She scolded herself for worrying. It could be nothing for all they knew. "I'm thinking about getting the hamburger." She said, trying to make conversation. Torch was assisted to Mae as it was hard for him to walk at the moment. With his shirt back on, he almost looked normal, but if he were to take it off, it would be easy to see that he was not. He stumbled to a chair near her, panting. "Hey lovely." He whispered.
Damon smiled "I was thinking the same, should we get fries to share?" It felt awkward trying to make small talk when his friends were probably in trouble. He ran a hand through his hair and tried to smile.Mae went to him and cupped his face wincing at what she saw "Oh Torch..." She wanted to hug him but she knew that would hurt him even more. She took his hand and kissed it gently "I'm so sorry...I love you, let's go home...and get you in bed..."
Lexi nodded, managing a smile. "Sure. Sounds good." She agreed. "You will know if they come back on earth right?" She asked hesitantly, needing to know. Torch nodded weakly, too tired and in pain to resist. "love you too." He whispered. He looked up at her in worry. "Think you can get us out of here? I don't think I can fly." he admitted softly.
Damon nodded "I'll let you know as soon as I know Lex" he promised and ordered for both of them. His foot was jumping around anxiously and he bit at his thumb nail. A very old habit of his before he started smoking.Mae nodded and supported him carefully as she slowly unfurled her wings. She slowly managed to carry them back to their home and led him to the bedroom as she took off his shirt and cried out looking at the marks "Torch..."
Damon looked up "They are back, and at home. Let's get this to go." He said urgently.
Torch groaned softly when she supported him, and then took off. He was panting by the time they landed at their house and she led him to the bedroom. He moaned softly when she pulled his shirt off, and winced at her reaction. He turned to face her, trying to hide the painful ropes of skin from her eyes. "It was just a whip Mae. I'll be ok." He said softly, sitting down weakly onto the bed. Lexi nodded, sharing his urgency. "Ok." She agreed, waiting for the waiter to bring their food. She asked for boxes for it and packed it away, quickly getting up and leaving with Damon.
Mae shook her head the tears not stopping she leaned into his chest and sobbed. They hurt him because her stupid body decided it wanted a baby...she stroke his face and hair kissing him "I don't want them involved with the baby...they don't care...they might hurt it..."Damon drove to the house and used the side key to get in "Mae? Torch?" He could hear crying and froze worriedly.
Torch sighed softly, holding her as best as he could without moving his back. "I'll see what I can do." He said gently. Lexi raced towards the crying. "Mae!" She called. "Mae are you alright?" She asked.
Damon reached the bedroom and swore when he saw his best mate's back "what happened?...what did they do to you?!"Mae sniffed and looked up at her friends "I'm fine..." She assured drying her eyes. And trying to smile at Lexi since she looked so panicked.
Torch sighed. "I was whipped. It's fine. It will heal." He said, shaking his head, though even that movement cause him to wince. He wasn't about to share Mae's news for her however. Lexi hugged her friend. "What happened?" She asked softly, worried about her. She had not seen Torch's back yet, so she had no idea what was going on. No idea what was wrong.
Mae held her friend tightly trying to stop crying, she felt so much comfort and support from Lexi. After a long pause she sighed "I'm pregnant..."Damon blinked shocked by the news, he carefully wiped healing cooling ointment on his back and wrapped it up "it's a black whip...you won't heal automatically...I'd say congrats but...I'm sorry you had to go through that."
Lexi felt shocked, surprised, happy, and fearful all at once. "I'm so happy for you. For the baby I mean." She said softly, purposely not looking over at Torch. She hugged her friend tightly. So Mae had done it with Torch too. What if she landed pregnant? Now that she knew what would happen to Damon if she did, she almost felt sick with worry that she would end up with child. torch sighed and relaxed as the burning pain on his back lessened. "Thanks." He said softly, once his back was wrapped. "It's ok. It was bearable." He assured him. "Not fun. But bearable."
Mae sighed a little "worse is over...now we can actually be happy about it." She went over to Torch and got him tucked into the blankets "no arguing you need to rest..." She whispered and kissed his cheek as she led her friends out. She took a deep breath and gave a smile "yeah...it was pretty shocking...but I'm excited, I think we are turning my guest room into the nursery."
Torch pouted. "But...!" He said, not wanting to go to bed. He wanted to stay with her. He wanted to make sure she and the baby were alright. She kissed his cheek and he sighed softly, relaxing then. Lexi grinned. "That sounds amazing!" She hugged her. "You have to let me know how things are going all the time, ok? I want a full report." she said seriously, smiling.
Mae nodded and hugged her close "of course! Who else would I tell about it?"-the week of testing-
Mae had a noticeable bump now and was laying with Torch watching a movie, she smiled up at him very glad they didn't have to stress about testing.
Damon and Lex on the other hand were working as hard as marathon runners. Practicing every skill over and over, hand to hand combat and flying techniques she was going to have to be perfect!
Torch smiled down at her, his arm wrapped around her shoulders. He kissed her head gently and turned his attention back to the movie. Lexi was panting by the time she finally landed, and she stumbled a bit as she touched down her legs were so weak. "How much longer?" She asked.
Mae rubbed her baby bump softly, she just liked knowing what the little one was up to. She groaned feeling nauseous and ran to the bathroom again and throwing up the ice cream she was overly craving.Damon sighed and held her to steady her "we are done...let's get you a snack and some water. Sorry for pushing you so hard baby..."
Torch jumped up with her, used to this by now. He held back her hair as she threw up, rubbing her back gently. He felt bad for her, but he knew there was not much they could do to to help with it. Lexi relaxed thankfully, her whole body feeling shaky and tight from the strain. But she definitely was stronger. There was no doubt about that. "No its ok. I understand. That's your job. Stop apologizing." she said, smiling a little as she wobbled into the house.
Mae groaned resting her head against the cool seat, she rubbed her stomach and grabbed the washcloth nearby and wiped her mouth. Leaning against Torch she took deep breaths always feeling dizzy and tired.Damon followed her in and made her a snack and got her a water bottle. He kissed her head "you are going to blow them away tomorrow!"
Torch let her clean up before he reached over her and flushed the toilet. Hugging her to him, he held her gently. "You ok?" He asked softly. "Thanks." Lexi said, smiling up at him. She twisted open the bottle quickly and took two long gulps before putting it down and starting on the apple he had gotten her.
Mae sighed and nodded "just takes a lot out of me" she admitted and snuggled in "but it will be worth it when we see our baby" she smiled and traced his jawline "I'm grateful we don't have to train, I highly doubt I could even fly a mile."Damon nodded and ate his sandwich, he watched her and smiled about how far she had come and how he fell more in love with her everyday. "So I was thinking we take it easy tonight"
Torch nodded and rested his face in the crook of her shoulder. "Yes. It will be worth it. I can't to see the little umm.... baby." He finished, not sure whether he should be referring to it as a he or a she. He nodded. "They wouldn't make a pregnant woman fly." He said. "Thankfully."Lexi looked up from her food and smiled. "Sounds lovely." She agreed, eager to spend a nice evening with him. "Haven't had some quiet time with you in a while." she mused, drinking some more. "Have anything particular you want to do?"
Mae smiled up at him "what are you hoping that it's going to be?" She asked curiously with a smile. They really didn't discuss what he was feeling or wanted.Damon smiled "cuddle up and watch a scary movie with dipped strawberries and popcorn."
Torch smiled, kissing her temple gently. "It's our child. I'm the father. You're the mother. That's more than I could ever ask for." he said, hugging her gently. Lexi grinned. "Sounds fun. But I might scream. Is that ok with you?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. Then she let her playful smile show.
Mae smiled and held him close "you are so perfect...who knew the demon that tortured me would become the father of my child and love of my life?"Damon chuckled "you can hold onto me...I'll protect you, though seriously what's more scary then what you have already seen?"
Torch grimaced. "I am very sorry. For torturing you." he said softly, sighing. "I really am sorry." he hugged her close.Lexi shoved him playfully. "That's different. I love you. But I certainly don't love the monsters on tv. Nor do I relate to them." She said, wrinkling up her nose and shaking her head.
Mae smiled and stood tired of sitting on the bathroom floor "I forgive you...you were just doing your job...can we have a night flight? I miss just being out."Damon smiled and poked her nose "I'll protect you, or we can watch a sappy chick flick and you'll cry and I'll think of how unrealistic it is."
Torch nodded slowly. "Thanks." He said, kissing her head gently. He knew he didnt deserve her forgiveness. "Yeah sure. Want to head out?" He asked, taking a couple steps towards the door.Lexi laughed. "That is actually what I would do." She agreed. "We can watch whatever you want." She offered, smiling a little. "I want to see something you like." She smiled.
Mae nodded and grabbed her jacket as she jumped on his back "away my noble steed!" She teased and nibbled on his ear.Damon flushed a little embarrassed "can we watch lord of the rings? It's my favorite movie and yes I'm a nerd...Torch reminds me every dag!"
Torch froze. Already!? They did it, once... and she was already pregnant? His heart started to hammer. This meant a lot of changes had to happen to prepare for the child. He swallowed slowly, walking over to her and pulling her into his arms. He kissed her head gently. "You'll make an amazing mother." he assured.
