McKensie and Lara
London shrugged. "I suppose so. It just means we'll have to keep up with her once she's born..." She laughed and shook her head. "She'll be an active little baby."Torch nodded, holding her tightly against him as he contacted Anne. Anne came within minutes, seeing her daughter so cold, she got right to work. "Mae, child, what happened to trigger this?"
Lexi jolted and her heart stopped for a full couple beats as she just tried to make sense of what happened. "D-Damon...?" She stammered, her whole body trembling. Had that really been him? It sure sounded like him... but was she finally going insane?
James smiled "have you come up with a name yet?" He looked over at Emily and pecked her cheek making sure that she wasn't ignored at all.Mae could barely keep away the cold was now numbing "the...baby..." She whispered and lay against Torch "it's so cold..."
Damon padded back and propped his feet against her knee "did you really think I would leave you my love?"
Emily snuggled into him and smiled, enjoying hearing about the child. London shook her head. "Not yet. We have two we were going to decide between, once the child was born." She explained, smiling over at Mark.
Anne frowned, looking at Torch. "Can you warm the child?"
Torch bit his lip. "That's risky... I'm not very good at reaching into my reserves at all, let alone manipulating it..."
"It's her only chance." Anne said seriously.
Torch gulped and nodded, closing his eyes and gritting his teeth as he tried to focus.
Lexi just stared for a moment, not putting together that the voice belonged to the small black dog in front of her. She swallowed, and then her eyes just grew wider. She blinked. "Damon... is that... is that really you...?" She asked hesitantly.
Mark nodded and supported her back "time to sit down darling." He urged and helped her into the chair kissing her hair "I can't keep her resting!"James chuckled "that doesn't surprise me at all..."
Mae slowly fell asleep her eyes dropping the cold was relaxing, she rested her head against the pillow.
It started to snow in the room as Torch tried to warm him.
Damon couldn't speak anymore he was so exhausted, he rested his head on her leg panting lightly his tail wiggling gratefully.
London grinned, shrugging. "It's so boring just lying around!" She complained. "Dont know how you do it all day long."Emily laughed softly. "London, that's why the child kicks so much honey. You passed on your spirit, that's for sure."
Torch felt his skin start to burn painfully as the temperature dropped. It was hard to try and force his fire carefully inside Mae to help warm her without burning her or the child, and now with the temperature drop, his flame was starting to splutter. "Please... Mae..." He gasped.
Lexi gasped in shock and joy. Tears sprang into her eyes and she scooped him up, practically swallowing him in an embrace. "Baby...oh baby..." she whispered, kissing his head. "Why didn't you tell me? Why are you a puppy? What happened? Oh I don't even care. You're here..." She murmured, kissing him over and over.
James gasped lightly and laughed "I beg your pardon miss!" Mark chuckled and shook his head "quit it you two! Loo you know how stress affects the princess..."
Mae finally controlled her body heat and she gasped out moving his hand so he wouldn't be hurt "Torch I am fine darling..."
Damon squeaked trying to breathe from all the love, he licked her face and wiggled his tail barking happily.
London grinned and kissed his cheek. "Luv ya. Better get back to doing nothing." She said, taking Marks hand. Torch slumped over her in relief and exhaustion. He kissed her cheek gently. "Don't you ever scare me like that again."
Lexi smiled softly, a real smile. "You have some serious explaining to do mister the second I get you back into a proper body." She said seriously, stroking his ears.
Mark helped her up and smiled "have a good night the two of you."James smiled and waved "goodbye sis, be sure to let me know when the child comes?"
Mae smiled and kissed him gently "i know our child will be strong..." She sighed and lay back feeling pain "mother?..."
Damon licked her hand and snuggled close to her chest, if he got back to his bed...that is.
London nodded. "Of course! Have fun guys!" She walked out with Mark. "Oh and James?" She called back. "I was serious about not wanting any nieces or nephews. Not yet." She teased. Anne nodded, massaging her daughter's stomach. "The child seems to be behaving normally now. A good thing for you and them."
"Thank goodness." Torch breathed.
Lexi stroked back his fur, raising an eyebrow. "You're kinda cute as a puppy. Not very scary though. Just a wriggling little ball of fur." She commented. "Will this form grow into a bigger dog? Or do you think you'll be back in your body before then?" she asked, curious to how all this worked. "Or... or are you like this forever...?"
James smiled over at Emily and kissed her "not yet..." He agreed and kissed down her neck "practice doesn't hurt though..."Mae sighed and nodded happily "when do you think the baby is coming?"
Damon growled trying to seem scary and nipped at her fingers, he didn't know the answer to any of that.
Emily blushed and closed her eyes, tipping her head back. "Oh James..." She whispered. "We are in a hospital..."Anne smiled softly. "Another couple weeks darling, be patient. You're coming along nicely."
Lexi laughed softly at his attempt and shook her head. "I don't know why I'm asking you questions. You probably can't even respond. I do hope you get bigger though. I miss your hugs." She said honestly.
James smiled "I know love...that is why I must leave! You have never seen my apartment. I could cook you a grand dinner!"Mae smiled and nodded happily "yes...thank you mother, I'm grateful for your help! Have you seen London lately?"
Damon licked her nose and panted happily, he pulled her back into the bedroom by her pj pants.
Emily smiled, loving that idea. "Sounds divine, James, but are you sure you're well enough to leave?" She asked, looked at him seriously. Anne nodded. "London is coming along well. She is due in the next couple days." She said, smiling. "Glad I could help."
Lexi raised her hands in surrender and followed along. "Ok ok! I'm coming!" She said, smiling a little. "You sure are one pushy puppy." She teased, but really, she liked it, she liked to think he was still taking care of her.
James nodded and slowly stood up getting dressed, he pulled her up into his arms and flew out the window "don't let go..." He chuckled going slowly so she wouldn't panic.Mae smiled over at Torch "we're going to have a grand baby!" She said excited and smiled over at Anne "is she worried?"
Damon hopped on the bed and curled up on his pillow and barked impatiently.
Emily hung onto him, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. She gasped in surprise when he first took off, startled, and then smiled, enjoying it. "This is so cool!" She cried. Anne nodded. "Very, after what happened with you and your last pregnancy."
Torch hugged her and rubbed her arms. "Yes we are. And this time we are going to be ok."
Lexi laughed, nodding and getting up. "Yeah yeah, coming." She said, walking over to the bed and getting on it, sitting beside him.
James chuckled and twirled with her landing in his apartment window. He set her down carefully "was that alright?..." He shook out his wings from the snow.Mae nodded and smiled "it will be, and London will be fine...she's doing very well yes?" She squeezed Torch's hand and leaned into him.
Damon snuggled into her shoulder and started to fall asleep, his little body moved up and down with each breath.
Emily nodded, her eyes still wide with excitement and surprise. "Yes... alright." She agreed. "It was amazing! Scary... but amazing." she brushed the snow out of her hair and looked over at his leathery wings. "I am never going to get over those..."Torch nodded as Anne smiled, assured them she would, and left. "London will be fine my dear." He promised. "You both will."
Lexi smiled, petting him gently once before curling up and falling asleep herself.
James smiled and folded them back as he took her hand "I'll give you the grand tour!" He gestured dramatically.Mark got her home and into bed, she seemed to be more tired then usual and pale "can I bring you anything?..."
((heading to bed))Emily smiled, nodding as she looked around at the bits she could see of his place from here. "It looks really nice!" She said, only really seeing a hallway from where they were...
London shook her head, closing her eyes as she just tried to rest. "I'm just tired." she promised softly.
((Goodnight love!))James chuckled and led her down the hall "here's the living room slash kitchen." It was one tiny room split in two. "Bathroom is down there and the guest room is over there, it was Loo's room."
Mark sighed and nodded "I'm going to go put the crib together ok?..."
Emily looked around, smiling as she took in the small but cozy interior. "It's beautiful." She commented. "So origional." She smiled at him. London nodded, closing her eyes again, just sleeping. Having the child was taking a lot out of her.
Dem woke up early the next morning and went downstairs to make breakfast for his family.
James laughed lightly "original?...that's a new one! I'm just grateful that it's clean for once..." He admitted with a shrug.Mark got the crib set up and the nursery pulled together, he'd paint it in the morning...pink of course.
Damon's incredible senses could smell it from all the way upstairs. 'Bacon? Bacon? Bacon!' He jumped down and padded to the kitchen sitting and wagging his tail.
Emily smiled walking into the livingroom area. "No seriously, it's really cute." she promised, her eyes brushing over the sofa and tv. London spent her day sleeping, a slight frown glued permanently on her features. When she woke up, she always tried to get right back to sleep, as she was exhausted, and stressed about the upcoming pregnancy.
Dem looked down at the strange dog who had walked into their house. "My sisters taking in strays again?" He asked, grabbing a bit of bacon and tossing it to the dog.
James chuckled and tackled her to the couch and pinned her down "cute huh? The only thing cute here is you my love!"Mark kept a worried eye on her, he worked quietly so he wouldn't wake her. She had pushed herself too much and he should have made sure that didn't happen...
Damon caught the piece and munched on it happily, he pounced on his leg sweetly and wagged his tail.
Emily squeaked and giggled. "No I'm not! I'm fat and ugly." She said, laughing. "You're the cute one."As night drew closer, London felt less and less comfortable. She moaned in her sleep, her stomach cramping as it drew closer to the birth.
Dem laughed. "Well aren't you a cutie? Want another peice?"
James rolled his eyes "what are you a size two? You are not even close to being fat and your beauty radiates everytime you smile! I'm just a rough old demon!"Mark noticed the signs and called Anne explaining the situation. He grabbed a heating pad for her back and tried to get her comfortable as possible.
Damon barked in reply and wiggled his tail faster. He hoped that Lexi wouldn't tell the kids that it was him, it was far too confusing already. He was fine being the family pet!
Emily laughed softly. "Three actually." she teased, kissing his cheek. "So you'll have to deal with all my extra flab." She puffed out her stomach and poked it disapprovingly. "And you are not old! Yes, maybe a little rugged, but that is entirely desirable to a lot of girls." She said seriously. Anne came immediately, seeing London shifting around in her sleep. "Has her water broke yet?" she asked, grabbing towels and other necessary supplies.
London moaned and her eyes fluttered open. She winced and gasped. "Oh... is it time already?" She moaned softly, having dreaded this moment in the back of her mind.
Dem grinned and tossed him a whole piece of bacon. "Don't eat it all at once. You'll choke." He said seriously.
Taylor wandered down from upstairs then, rubbing her still slightly red eyes. "Shadow! You're still here!" She said happily, picking him up. "I thought you might have run away already."
James smiled lightly and kissed her "Demons survive for centuries, my dad was around during the reign of King George! We may look young but...we can choose what age we want to look like."Mark shook his head and kissed her cheek "honey...don't worry, I don't think it's time yet...we are just preparing ok? You can rest, until your water breaks we can't do anything..." He looked at Anne "can, you get something for the pain?"
Damon looked at the piece of bacon he had left on the ground as Taylor picked him up. He licked her face lovingly but he wanted that bacon!
Emily raised an eyebrow. "Centuries?" she asked, a little shocked by that. "So how old are you really?" Then she had another thought. "So I'm going to grow old and die, and you're just going to keep on living?"London nodded weakly, holding his hand. Her heart was pounding so hard she thought it would burst. Frankly, she was frightened.
Anne nodded, grabbing a vial from her bag. "This should help." She said, helping London drink it.
Dem chuckled softly. "Taylor, I do believe.... Shadow... wants that bacon."
Taylor smiled sheepishly. "Sorry Shadow." She said, putting him down again..
James looked a little sheepish "still 22...but I was thinking, maybe when we were older, well there is a process where ...I can turn you into a demon and our souls will entwine..."Mark squeezed her hand and kissed it, he sat behind her and held her close "it'll be ok honey..."
Damon ate the bacon happily and wagged his tail at both of his kids.
Emily paused, her heart skipping a couple beats. "You... you could turn me... into... into a demon?" She repeated, not sure if she was thrilled about that idea, or frightened by it. London leaned into him, wincing a little. "But... but what if something happens... and..." She whispered, worried.
Lexi woke, immediately frightened that the dog thing had all been a dream and Damon was really gone. She practically ran downstairs and only sighed in relief when she saw Damon. "Thank God." She whispered, scooping him up.
James swallowed "I don't have to...I could age with you, just a normal relationship..." He took her hand "I don't want to scare you ever..." He could see she was and it killed him.Mark gently helped her prop against the pillows "shhh nothing will happen...it will be fine..." He helped move the towel under her and looked at Anne "can't you induce her?"
Damon blew air out of his lips, he was so tired of being picked up but he licked Lexi lovingly.
Emily nodded slowly, her mind reeling. "I... I'm sorry... I just didn't know that was possible..." She whispered honestly. "I mean... I like you James... but it's only our second date... and I'm not sure if I'm ready to make a commitment like that yet..." She tried to explain, giving him an apologetic look. Anne sighed softly. "Afraid not. She's already too far along, and it could cause other complications." she said honestly.
London gasped, tensing a little. "I think I just peed myself." She didn't, but she didn't recognize what had happened.
Lexi laughed softly. "And why are you pouting mister?" She asked.
Dem raised an eyebrow, wondering if his mother had gone off the edge. "mister?" He repeated.
Lexi put Damon down, smiling softly at him. "well, what had you named him?"
Taylor frowned. "Her. I named her Shadow." Taylor automatically assumed the puppy was a girl. As to young girls, all animals were female.
James felt his heart sink and hoped it didn't show on his face, of course she didn't want that commitment no one would want to be a demon if they had a choice. He nodded "yeah don't worry about it!"Mark chuckled and shook his head "your water just broke honey..." He helped her out of wet pants and cleaned her up.
Damon made a face of dislike, he obviously was not a female! He had a little furry male part!
Emily bit her lip, hoping she hadn't hurt him. She reached up to caress his cheek gently. "I really am sorry James. I don't mean it personally or anything..." she whispered. She knew in her heart if she got to know him better, this demon thing might make a little more sense. But right now, when she had only known him for a week... she didn't want to give away her humanity just yet. London's eyes widened a little bit and she gripped the sheets in clenched hands. "Oh gosh... oh gosh..." She muttered, her breathing growing faster.
Lexi laughed softly. "Sorry Taylor. He's male." Or at least... she assumed he had been transferred into a male body... curiosity dug at her and she decided she would check later.
Taylor pouted. "That's no fun!"
Dem laughed. "Shadow's a little boy Taylor. Don't worry, the name still works."
James shook his head and sighed taking her hand "don't worry about it." He assured, he slowly stood "I'll get working on dinner..." He started to grab the ingredients needing to get distracted from the pain.Mark un clenched her hand and held it "shhh breathe honey breathe..." He looked at Anne worriedly and rubbed her stomach "any vial for anxiety?"
Damon jumped on Taylor's leg cutely to keep her happy, he liked the name and being the family pet!
Emily sighed softly, nodding. She hadn't meant to hurt him... she just... wasn't ready to be a demon. She wished she could say sorry to him, but she knew it was not an apology that he needed. "I'll set the table." She said softly, getting out plates. London nodded, swallowing slowly and breathing through pursed lips. "I'll be ok, right? yeah... we'll all be ok." She muttered.
Anne nodded. "Yes. But I am reluctant to just drug her. It would likely make her drowsy as well."
Taylor smiled a little. "Alright. I guess I can still like a boy dog." she said, petting his head. "Dem. Do I get some food too? Or is it all for the dog?"
Dem smiled. "Of course you get food. Set out some plates and I'll dish you some."
James nodded but blinked hearing his phone and checked the text "oh...London is in labor!" He quickly put away the food and grabbed his jacket heading next door.Mark kissed her forehead and shook his head "honey...just look at me, you will be fine...you need to stay calm and breathe you are going to be a mom very soon...Anne knows what she is doing..."
Ashlynn came downstairs dragging her teddy behind her and rubbing her eyes yawning sweetly "morning..."
Emily's eyes widened and she followed him out the door quickly, not sure if she was welcome... but she didn't want to just leave on those terms..."London nodded, closing her eyes and wincing. When she opened her eyes again, she kept them locked on him as her face contorted in pain and she whimpered.
Dem smiled at Ashlynn just as he was setting out the plates with food. "Hey girlie. How did you sleep?"
James walked in and blinked not needing to see his sister spread eagle, but he went to his side "hey...relax."Mark sighed in relief when James came in, if anyone could help keep her calm it was James.
Ashlynn shrugged and then grinned seeing Lexi she looked happy, she ran and hugged her tightly "mom!"
Emily didn't follow James into the bedroom. Instead, she stayed in the kitchen somewhat awkwardly, just sort of waiting for him. London smiled weakly when she saw James. "Hi..." she whispered, wincing again. "You wouldn't believe how much my stomach is cramping right now..." she puffed.
Lexi smiled softly and kissed Ashlynn's hair, hugging her. "Hey Ash. Goodmorning."
Dem rolled his eyes. "Fine right. I just get ignored. Ok. That's cool too." He said, tossing another bacon slice at Shadow.
James chuckled and nodded "the baby is coming out a very small canal I can imagine it's hurting..." He moved her hair back "the more you stress the more it will hurt..."Ash giggled and attacked Dem in a hug "hi Dem! Good morning thank you for breakfast! I didn't really sleep..."
London groaned. "Oh don't tell me that!" She grit her teeth, sucking in through the pain. "it's really hard not to stress!" Her hand tightened around Mark's.Dem frowned a little. "You didn't sleep?" he asked, hugging her anyways. "You ok Ash?" He was worried about her, as always.
Lexi sat at the table and started eating, smiling sadly at Damon. She knew it might be because of his absence that Ashlynn wasn't sleeping.
Mark sighed and held her close "if you lay on your side that will take some of the pressure off honey..." He turned her and James massaged her back.Ash grabbed a cereal bowl and nodded "I'm ok!" She wasn't sleeping because she collected everyone's thoughts and fears. She hadn't slept for months on end.
London tried to breathe deep, but a searing pain attacked her gut with each contraction, and soon she found that her whimpers were turning into moans, and then cries of pain. "When will it be over...!?" She sobbed. "I blame you all for this!" she didn't of course. It was just the pain speaking. Dem frowned a little. "Are you sure?" He asked, sitting down beside her to eat his own breakfast.
James sighed, this was a good distraction from the hurt in his heart Emily just thought this was a fling...just two dates. He rubbed her muscles slowly and sighed looking at Anne "how far is she?"Ashlynn ate a big bite and nodded her mouth full she looked over at Taylor "where'd the dog come from?..."
Anne was watching London carefully, positioned ready to receive the baby. "A good ways in. Shouldn't be long now." She promised. London grit her teeth and groaned, her back arching as she tried to breathe, tears running down her cheeks.
Taylor shrugged. "Shadow showed up last night. I still have to introduce him to Jack and your kitten." She smiled a little.
Mark squeezed her hand "honey breathe..." He wished that he could help more but there was nothing...James sighed hating to see his sister in pain he had to walk out if the room making a stupid excuse about needing to go to the bathroom.
Ashlynn nodded and but into the toast and gave him a piece "pigmy has been hiding under my bed..."
London cried out again, gasping as the child's head emerged. Anne smiled softly. "One more time child."
London groaned as she put all her effort into it and the baby slid out.
Emily smiled weakly when she saw James come out of the room. "Is your sister ok?"
Taylor frowned at Damon. "That's not very nice Shadow. You've been scaring our kitties!"
Mae shook her head "weather...snow..." She tried to explain her breath could be seen as she slowly turned pale "get my mother...please!"
Damon felt anger and frustration that she was giving up so easily! He couldn't do much if she didn't help herself...if she died then they still couldn't be together! He will all of his mind power and connected to hers "Lexi stop this."
