McKensie and Lara Showing 4,251-4,300 of 4,686

[Lara]

Dem smiled down at her, kissing her hair. "I'm glad." He said gently. "And I will take care of you, I promise. I just wish you felt you could confide in me." he sighed.

Torch found the hair on the back of his neck sticking straight up as they entered slowly. The devil had always liked Damon more than him, so he found himself sticking close to him, just in case, as they walked forwards to the large black throne.

Lukas's eyes widened a little. "Should we get you to the hospital? Or would you rather I call the midwife?" he asked. "Or is it not that soon yet?" he really had no idea what he was doing.

Lexi nodded in understanding, hugging her in her arms. "Are you feeling well enough Ashlynn? I don't want you getting sick again..."

[McKensie]

Liv frowned feeling guilt creep up her like a thorny vine. She felt tears in her eyes "of course I can confide in you Dem...your the first person I told...I just feel like I hurt you when I talk about it..."

Damon looked at the massive throne with the shadowy figure sitting proudly. No one had actually ever seen what he looked like. He bowed respectively to him "I must speak with you sire."

Anne sighed and shook her head "not time yet...but midwife, you know your reputation is still on the line...I don't need your soliders or the Elders watching me give birth..."

Ashlynn nodded "I'm ok I promise. Just ask?...maybe they'll say yes."

[Lara]

Dem shook his head insistently, hugging her against him. "Oh no baby, you don't hurt me, I just hurt for you. I would bear every burden for if I could. But you have to trust that I have the strength to bear them."

((Do you want me to play the devil?))
Torch tried to look firm and not jump at every sound from the thousands of eyes that hid in the shadows. He didn't understand why this guy needed so many servants, even if he was the lord of the underworld.

Lukas nodded, sighing softly. "Alright. I'll call her up whenever you tell me to dear. And please don't hesitate to tell me, even at the slightest hint of anything. I'd rather not have it happen when she's not here..." He said honestly.

Lexi nodded. "Alright. I'll go ask. Stay right here." She left to talk to the doctors. They assured her that Ashlynn just needed rest to make a full recovery, and she returned, smiling brightly. "You can come home!"

[McKensie]

Liv sighed and nodded, she didn't think he was strong enough. She had to trust him "I love you...you are the one I depend on, no secrets between us..."

((Yes please, sorry i should have asked first.))

Anne nodded and pulled him down and just hugged him "you know I love you right?..."

Ashlynn hopped up and quickly got dressed hugging her mom tightly.

[Lara]

Dem nodded, kissing her cheek. "Exactly. I don't want you to feel like you have to tell me anything, but I just want you to know that you can. I wouldn't feel like I was protecting you properly, if you thought you couldn't trust me."

((no problem, I just wasn't sure. :) ))
The shadowy black figure laughed softly, his wings shuffling on the throne. They always sat open, laying lazily beside him on the marble. He almost seemed to be swathed in black cloaks, only blackness beneath the hood. But the wings were at least fifteen feet wide, each, and the figure sitting there was somewhat of a giant. "Yes. So I see. Proceed."

Lukas nodded, hugging her back. "Of course dear." He promised, kissing her gently. "I just have no idea what I am doing, and want this to go smoothly for you."

Lexi smiled, scooping her little girl into her arms. "Hold on." she said, and made the light jump through the galaxies, arriving back on earth in a few minutes. "Home sweet home." She pushed open the door. "I'm back Mae! Hope the twins have not been too much trouble..."

[McKensie]

Liv shook her head "I trust you with my life...that's why we are having this baby, something I didn't think I could ever do...it's our miracle." She held the picture close "it has your nose look!"

Damon nodded "as you know with the decree that you sent out mine and multiple families have been split...I understand your reasoning perfectly Sire, though I have a request...if you would permit."

Anne nodded "I appreciate that...all I need is your support, and hold my hand...worrying just makes me worry..."

Mae shook her head "sleeping like angels...I fed them earlier and..." She grinned seeing Ashlynn who ran up and hugged her tightly "Auntie Mae!"

[Lara]

Dem smiled, looking down at the picture. "It's so tiny! How can you see my nose?" He teased, kissing her cheek. "Its an adorable baby, and its all ours."

The devil nodded in understanding. He was well aware of all that went on in the underworld. He knew who was here, and who was left behind. "A request, hmm? Continue." he said, finding it would be fine to humor these two once.

Lukas swallowed. "Then I shall try not to worry." he promised, holding both her hands in his. "You have my support, through everything."

Lexi smiled thankfully at Mae. "You don't know how much that means to me Mae, it was getting too much to keep running back and forth."

[McKensie]

Liv nuzzled him and smiled pecking his cheek "what shall we name our little munchkin? Girl or boy." She added and played with his long rough fingers.

Damon nodded "a day of chaos and destruction, to place fear in the hearts of humans again. Respect and then we shall be safe...in return you may ask whatever you want from me."

Anne nodded and sighed moaning in pain "first one starting..."

Mae shook her head "it is no problem my friend! I should have come earlier...we need eachother now more then ever..."

[Lara]

Dem thought about that for a moment, a little caught off guard by the question. "To be honest, I haven't thought about names yet." he said, blushing a little with shame. She probably thought he was a horrible father.

The devil thought for a moment. "So you wish to regain the right to live up on earth again, by terrifying the humans for a day?" He said thoughtfully, pausing for a moment. "And you will give me anything in return?"

Lukas's brow creased and his worry returned in a second. "I'll go call the midwife." He promised. "I'll be right back."

Lexi smiled weakly and nodded, hugging her quickly. "I'm here for you girl." She sighed. "We should talk. I'm sure you miss your man, just as much as I miss mine."

[McKensie]

Liv shook her head "I haven't either...it's alright, let's just brainstorm some ideas...you aren't a bad father. It is said you become the father when you hold the baby."

Damon nodded "that is correct sire, with that right though I get to be with my wife..." He wasn't going to lose Lexi by a slip of the tongue or miscommunication.

Anne nodded and breathed trying to relax, it had been so long since Mae...she didn't even remember it. Breathe...in and out, don't stress...

Mae nodded and gave a small smile "I do need to talk...badly." She said biting her lip.

[Lara]

Dem smiled then, feeling a little better about this. "I can brainstorm. I can do that." He smiled then. "I like names that start with J and T for boys, and names that start with M and L, for girls. Is that a good place to start? What sort of letters do you like?"

The devil nodded slowly, leaning back in his seat. "Alright. And suppose I wish you to rule the underworld?" he asked. "Lukas is going to have to resign soon. He has a family now you know."

Lukas called the midwife and immediately returned to her, taking her hand in his own. "Breathe darling. Please breathe. You'll be ok." He promised. "Need anything?"

Lexi nodded and lead Mae into the living room, sitting with her on the couch. "How have you been managing?" She asked gently.

[McKensie]

Liv smiled "I like those letters very much! I don't have specific letters I just like uncommon names. What about Ty for a boy? You pick the girl!"

Damon swallowed and nodded "then I will be his heir, as long as I get to stay with my family. Do we have a deal?"

Anne shook her head and massaged her stomach "no I don't think so...maybe more pillows?"

Mae sighed and pulled out a folded piece of paper from her purse, it was a printed lab result she handed it to her "not well..."

[Lara]

Dem laughed then. "Uncommon? Let's see... what sort of uncommon names can I come up with.... Layla is one I've liked, and Marlee. But I don't know if those are uncommon enough." He smiled at her.

The devil nodded, happy with this arrangement. "Deal. Now go on. Your one day of chaos just started." He waved his hand in dismissal.

Lukas nodded, rushing out to grab pillows which he brought back to her, tucking them under her. "Hang in there." He urged, just as the midwife arrived and started to set up.

Lexi took the paper and started to scan it. She frowned softly, looking up at Mae. "What does this mean?" She asked softy, worried.

[McKensie]

Liv smiled "I like Layla a lot! So Tyler or Layla...what perfect names!" She nipped his ear "so what do you want to do now?"

Damon nodded and quickly formed into the terrifying beast. His wings caused hurricanes as he flew to earth. The sky darkened to no sun, he looked over at Torch "let's start at the world monuments...make it devestating!"

Anne moaned and curled on her side the only place comfortable during the contractions. She rubbed her abdoman and breathed through her lips "I don't want to be undressed yet..."

Mae started to cry shaking her head "I'm dying...I have cancer...I was going to tell Torch and then he left. I'm scared Lexi."

[Lara]

Dem smiled, closing his eyes happily. "Wonderful. I'm glad you are pleased." He looked down at her. "Well. Since Ashlynn is no longer here, can we please leave the hospital?" He asked softly, wanting to get away.

Torch nodded, but his response was a roar as he had already shifted. He started by tearing down the statue of liberty, and then moved to the golden gate bridge, and the whitehouse, before going to the CN Tower, on through the north america's making sure the screaming humans saw who was responsible for the damage.

Lukas rubbed her back, massaging her gently. "Alright, it's ok. You're doing great darling." he kept saying over and over, trying to calm her and himself.
The midwife moved over then and smiled at her reassuringly. "You can keep your clothes on for now. Just remember to breathe deep honey, you're doing great."

Lexi was stunned. She was losing her best friend? She slowly gathered Mae into a hug, not quite sure what to say. "I-I'm sure it'll be alright Mae... Jude had cancer too. They healed him. I'm sure they can heal you." But she had no idea really, she was just rambling.

[McKensie]

Liv nodded "let's go back to the mansion." She helped him up and packed everything. She led him back and shook his head at all the demons "it's getting crowded here now!"

Damon knocked down London's bridge and Big Ben as he destroyed the monuments that humans revere so highly. He created the sacred symbol of the devil in the sky with his fire breath.

Anne nodded and sighed shutting her eyes, her breathing was deep as she meditated to deal with the pain.

Mae sighed and hugged her close crying, "I can't go to a human hospital..."

[Lara]

Dem nodded slowly, looking around at all of them. "I had no idea so many of us lived on Earth!" He said, shaking his head. He entered her house again quickly to escape the masses and sighed in relief.

When Torch had finished leaving a trail of chaos across north and south America, he flew over to Europe again to find Damon. "Only one way now to see if it worked..." He said, hoping with all his might that he did. "Are the gates of hell open again?"

The midwife and Lukas both worked to try and make her as comfortable as possible. There was not much the midwife could do other than that at this stage.

Lexi nodded in understanding, hating to see her friend so sad, and yet she felt like crying as well. She looked up when she heard something like thunder and gasped, staring out the window. "Mae... it looks like.... like the end of the world out there..." She breathed, terrified.

[McKensie]

Liv breathed out and laughed shaking her head "sanctuary...I love that I actually want to be home with you."

Damon swooped down and shook his head "not yet! We have to make sure that they know it is the dark Lords doing. Fear so imminent they won't dare to be on the same street as us."

Anne sighed and turned on her back "I think I peed my pants..." She said her face red in humiliation.

Mae looked out in fear and then saw the sign "it's the boys!"

[Lara]

Dem smiled then, squeezing her hand. "I am so glad I could help you like it better here." He said, walking into the kitchen with her. "You hungry?" He asked, opening the fridge.

Torch nodded in understanding, reverting back to his human form. He let out his wings and walked through the streets, leaving messages and marks on the doors. A person with bat wings was universally known to be a demon. He was sending a message to the world.

The midwife smiled gently and helped her out of her pants. "Your water broke darling." She said gently. "We're moving into the second stage of labor."

Lexi's eyes widened and she found them watering up. "They're back?" She asked, almost nervous to believe it.

[McKensie]

Liv nodded "starving! Is there anything to eat in there?" She asked curiously obviously she didn't spend a lot of time in the kitchen. The break room at the hospital held her frozen dinners.

Damon grinned seeing the doors slam and be barricaded he hissed in anger as someone threw holy water at him. That stuff burns! He realized they were close to their city "let's see the girls."

Anne covered her face with her hands and moaned lying back, she wasn't ready for this...to be a mom. If it was s girl Lukas would never resign!

Mae nodded and watched the chaos "obviously they had a plan up their sleeves..."

[Lara]

Dem nodded, pulling out cookie dough, old pizza, some left over pasta, and a packet of salami. "This is all you have. Anything look appetizing?" He asked, smiling over at her.

Torch nodded eagerly, wanting to see his Mae again, to see his family. "Yes lets." He said, taking off and flying to the house. When he found no one at his house, he went to Damon's and grinned, standing in the doorway. "Mae..." he said, running to her and gathering her up in his arms. "I missed you so much."

Lukas held her hand in his the whole time, "It's ok Anne, you're doing great. We'll be parents soon." He encouraged.
The midwife checked every so often to see how far along she was. "Breathe darling." She encouraged.

Lexi nodded. "Obviously they did." She agreed, smiling softly. She stood and backed away from Torch as he barreled into the room and hugged Mae. She smiled softly, glad they were so happy, but she still missed Damon.

[McKensie]

Liv made a face "I seriously need to learn to cook...this is a little pathetic!" She laughed heating up the pizza.

Mae leaped into his arms crying and holding him close kissing him deeply "Torch...I thought I'd never see you again..."

Anne groaned wanting to kick the midwife everytime she said breathe "I am breathing!" She moaned as another one came sharper this time. She squeezed Lukas' hand tightly.

Damon came up behind her and hugged her close "didn't think I'd forget you right?" He hugged her close feeling like it had been an eternity but really only a couple of weeks.

[Lara]

Dem smiled then, kissing her cheek. "We can work on that." He promised. "We'll go on a shopping trip soon, and I can teach you some quick meals. You'll be cooking in no time."

Torch smiled, kissing her back quickly, and then again. "I promised I would see you again, didn't I?" He buried his face in her hair, so happy to just be holding her again. "I missed you..."

Lukas brushed back her hair gently and gave her a reassuring smile. "Just let me know if I can do anything for you." He said seriously. "I'm here to help."
"Almost there." The midwife promised. "Six inches now."

Lexi jolted in surprise, as she had not heard him come up behind her and she immediately flung her arms around him, kissing his lips, and cheek and his nose and this his lips again. "Damon... don't ever leave again." She said seriously, overcome with joy.

[McKensie]

Liv shook her head throwing away the salami "I can't stand that smell..." She took a bite of the cookie dough "or that...I'm insane!"

Mae couldn't stop crying she held him close and nuzzled his nose against hers, she couldn't ruin the moment by telling him....she wouldn't be alone now!

Anne leaned into his hand trying to breathe deeply, though it was getting harder "cold water?...please?"

Damon spun her around and hugged her close laughing "oh I missed you!...I have some news, this reunion was a bargain with the devil...I'm going to be the next ruler of the under world..."

[Lara]

Dem laughed softly and shook his head. "No, you're just pregnant darling. Will you be ok with this pizza?" He asked hopefully, taking it out and setting it on plates.

Torch smiled, running his thumb gently over her cheek. "I love you so much Mae. I was so afraid I wouldn't see you again..." He said honestly, kissing her forehead. "But now I'm here, and I'm here to stay."

Lukas nodded, jumping up to grab her water and return the glass to her. He helped hold her head up a bit so she could drink it.

Lexi pulled back only far enough so she could look up in his eyes. "Ruler?" She asked. "Isn't that what you kept turning down?" She sighed softly, shaking her head. "I hope this doesn't mean you'll be working all the time..." She cupped his face with her hands. "But for right now, I'm just so glad you're back..." She tipped her head to the side. "Did you change something?" She asked, finding that he looked slightly different.

[McKensie]

Liv sighed "let's hope! I don't want to brave the grocery store right now..." She took a bite and nodded "this is good!"

Mae nodded and swallowed "we need to talk love..."

Anne sipped at it and sighed in relief "that's good...oh what's happening it burns!" She whimpered moving her legs uncomfortably.

Damon sighed and nodded "it was the only way I could come...Ill be working yes, but just like Lukas I'll make time for you and the babies..." He grinned and nodded "I took a drink of the living water and am stronger full of energy and more attractive according to Torch."

[Lara]

Dem smiled in relief and took one piece for himself. "I am glad the kid likes pizza." He said seriously. "Because pizza is a staple!"

Torch frowned a little, sensing that this talk would not be a joyous one. "What's bothering you darling?" He asked softly.

Lukas tightened his hand around hers, not liking that she was in pain.
The midwife checked again and smiled reassuringly at her. "The baby is starting to move. Get ready to push when you have the urge."

Lexi nodded in understanding, glad he would still have some time for her. Then she smiled brightly. "Yes, you are more attractive." She agreed, letting her eyes sweep his face. She found herself wondering if his body would look different now that he was stronger, and she blushed softly. "I like the change."

[McKensie]

Liv laughed and nodded feeding him the slice "indeed...and its inexpensive." she nudged her nose against his "love you..."

Mae swallowed and sat down on the couch and showed him the lab sheet "I wanted to tell you before you left..." She said softly and took his hand needing that support.

Anne did so and groaned sitting up and squeezing Lukas' hand tighter "should have had a c section!"

Damon smiled and kissed her deeply "I did it so we could be together...soon the gates will be open and we'll see everyone!"

[Lara]

Dem smiled, closing his eyes for a moment, before kissing her. "Love you too darling." He said, finishing his slice, before making sure she had enough to eat and putting the rest away. "Let's take a day off, just relax for a bit. God knows we need it."

Torch sat by her and slowly read over the sheets twice, his frown deepening. Was he going to lose his love? "Mae..." he whispered, hugging her. "What are we going to do?"

Lukas held back the urge to wince, rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand gently. "You're doing great honey, almost done."
The midwife nodded. "You're more than halfway through labor, just push when you feel you need to."

Lexi smiled, kissing his neck and then resting her head on his shoulder. "Thank you. I don't know if I could have lasted without you. Three kids are a lot to take care of on my own. But Mae helped, so they're all happy. Ashlynn is healed now... but I'm afraid Mae is not..." She said softly.

[McKensie]

Liv nodded in agreement "what would this day off consist of?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and smile.

Mae sighed and hugged him close "I don't know...I'm scared Torch..." She whispered clenching onto his shirt and finding muscle that wasn't there "you changed."

Anne nodded and did so working hard and crying out, she heard the door knock and shook her head "no one is coming in this house!"

Damon was happy to hear about Ash but then a frowned appeared "what do you mean? "

[Lara]

Dem stroked his chin. "Well... maybe popcorn and movies... and a nice long bath... and whatever else you would like to do." He bowed deeply, "I am at your command." he lifted his head, smiling.

Torch nodded, stroking her hair gently. He was worried, but he was hanging onto the sliver of hope that she might heal. Then he chuckled softly. "yes. Yes I did. I drank from the fountain of life."

The midwife nodded gently. "Of course not." She said, "You're crowning my dear. Almost there."
Lukas got up, begrudgingly running to the door. "Who is it?" He grumbled, opening the door.

Lexi looked up at him, biting her lip. "She has cancer, Damon, I'm so worried for her." She shook her head and looked down again. What if she lost her best friend?

[McKensie]

Liv smiled and took his hand "I like having a handsome servant to wait on me hand and foot! Let's watch a movie and snuggle under a warm blanket." She ran her hand through her hair.

Mae smiled "you look good...I like it.." She sighed resting on his chest "I thought I would die before seeing you again..."

There was nothing there but a black parchment note tied with a scarlet ribbon, it told of his resignation and Damon's reign.
Anne sobbed and pushed hating how painful it was, she couldn't even think about the baby only the pain "this sucks this suck this sucks!"

Damon frowned stroking her hair "it'll be ok, Torch will take care of her..."

[Lara]

Dem laughed softly, nodding his approval. "I highly approve of that decision. Let's get to it, shall we?" he offered his arm to her, a big grin on his features.

Torch smiled proudly, finding that his ears turned red. He ran his fingers through her hair and sat back with her. "Oh no need for drastic measures Mae, you're not going to die, I promise."

Lukas read the note quickly, and found himself relieved. He could spend more time with his family now, and Damon was like a son to him. "Well done my boy, well done." He whispered, before returning back to Anne. He winced, seeing her hurting like that. "I'm so sorry love." He said gently, taking her hand again. "You're almost done."
"It's over." The midwife corrected, holding up the small child. "You have a daughter."

Lexi rested her head on his shoulder, sighing softly. "I hope you're right Damon, I really do. For now, lets just please do something together while we have time? I assume you'll have to go off and be king presently." She smiled a little.

[McKensie]

Liv laughed and took his arm as they laid on the couch all snuggled together "now this is a predicament, if you turn on the movie you'll have to get up and I've trapped you." She teased nipping his nose.

Mae sighed "you don't know that Torch...the doctor was pretty clear..." She shook her head "I didn't know what to do so I just came home..." She said honestly and nuzzling his chest "but then we had that fight and you had to go to Hell..."

Anne sighed a giant sigh of relief and reached for the baby "is she alright?...why isn't she crying?" She asked scared, the new mommy fears starting off right away.

Damon nodded "and we'll live at the palace, whatever you want you will have..." He promised and kissed her "what would you like to do?..."

[Lara]

Dem laughed softly, shaking his head. "My my, what shall I do? I'd never be able to get out of these strong arms..." he teased, tapping her arm.

Torch shook his head. "There's always some way to fix it." he said seriously. "I refuse to believe there is nothing to be done. I will save you Mae, I promise." He kissed her hair. "And I do hope you will forgive me for all that. I wish I had never fought with you, or had to leave you at all."

The midwife was working on wiping the baby off. "One minute, she's not dry yet, she'll start to cry presently." She promised, and sure enough, she did, loud wails in fact.
Lukas laughed softly. "Careful what you wish for dear." He kissed her gently. "And just so you know, I have resigned."

Lexi smiled softly, shaking her head. She reached up a hand to cup his face. "All I want is you Damon, and to at least be near our family." She blushed softly and looked up at him. "What do I want to do?" She wanted to see all his changes, but she wouldn't ask for that, he was probably tired. "That's a dangerous question Damon." She teased, kissing his cheek.

[McKensie]

Liv laughed and shook her head "nope you won't! I will keep you forever, and you shall be my squishy!"

Mae cupped his face "don't even worry about that...I love you, and I want to spend every moment I have with you..." She traced his chest and sighed "I'm.scared..."

Anne gasped at his news and kissed him "oh this is wonderful!" She cradled the girl getting her to feed "you just hungry?...huh? I bet you were..." She cooed and smiled at Lukas "look what we made..."

Damon grinned "let's get the Milton's out of the house and ill show you..."

[Lara]

Dem raised an eyebrow playfully, "Squishy? Really?" He looked down at himself. "I'm not that fat am I?" He chuckled softly.

Torch nodded slowly, not wanting to argue with her, but he was not giving up. He would save her if it was the last thing he did. "I'm going to pamper you Mae. Let's get you swaddled in blankets back home, and I'll make you something nice to eat." He promised, scooping her into his arms. "No need to kick us out Damon, we were just leaving." He called, smiling softly as he took off.

Lukas smiled down at his two girls, kissing Anne's hair. "Well, she'll be a handful, but she's gorgeous. Just like you." He smiled at her. "What shall we name her?"

Lexi smiled sheepishly at Torch and Mae as they left. "Oh you didn't have to make it so obvious!" She teased, cuffing his shoulder playfully, as she was rather embarrassed, which was evident in her blush.

[McKensie]

Liv laughed and shook her head "you aren't fat at all! I just like squishing you and being squished. It's a fun word squishy!"

Mae held on and smiled pecking his cheek "symptoms haven't shown up yet...I'm alright...for now." She assured and let him wrap her up.

Anne smiled "you decide darling..." She tucked herself on his shoulder and nuzzled him.

Damon chuckled and threw her over his shoulder heading to their bedroom "I caused the end of the world Led."

[Lara]

Dem laughed in earnest then. "Well alright. I suppose I will put up with being called squishy." he pecked her lips quickly, before resting his head on hers.

Torch smiled, wrapping her up in blankets. "Regardless, I'm going to pamper you." He said, tucking her on the couch. "Would you like anything to eat? Drink?"

Lukas kissing her hair and nodded. "Alright. How about Eve? I've always liked the name... but I'll understand if you think its too old fashioned."

Lexi squeaked as he tossed her and shook her head, holding on as he walked up the stairs. "Oh yes, I saw. You created quite the mess." She commented, smiling a little.

[McKensie]

Liv giggled and pecked his lips again "I need a sappy nickname now!" She teased and tickled his side.

Mae nodded "hot tea and cheese and crackers?" It was weird for her to actually ask for things. It wasn't who she was, she took care of others "what if I lose my hair?..." She fingered her black tresses.

Anne shook her head "no it's beautiful! I think it matches her..." She tickled her belly and smiled "you are so beautiful...yes you are..."

Damon smiled "all for you my darling!"

[Lara]

Dem laughed then. "Foofoo." He said promptly, kissing her cheek. "Because that was the first thing that popped into my mind." he smiled.

Torch nodded, turning to go get the food for her. He stopped at her question and immediately turned around. "Oh Mae..." He cupped her face in his hands. "I'd love you just the same." He whispered, kissing her quickly. "I hope you know that."

Lukas laughed, shaking his head. "To think, after all these centuries, we'd be parents! And you're already the expert at this it seems." He watched his baby girl coo and giggle.

Lexi smiled, sitting on the bed and grabbing his collar, pulling him down for a kiss. "I couldn't love you more." She whispered.

[McKensie]

Liv made a face and shook her head "oh please...no, I'm not a poodle!"

Mae nodded but the tears kept coming as she hugged him tightly "I'm just so scared Torch...I don't want to do this alone..."

Anne smiled "this isn't my first baby Luk, Mae had siblings as well..." She put her in his arms "there you go..."

Damon shook her head "you could try!"

[Lara]

Dem laughed easily the, finding it hilarious how she reacted. "I'm sorry for laughing darling, but that was priceless." he grinned and kissed her quickly. "Shall I turn on the movie now? Or will we continue to watch a black screen?"

Torch nodded in understanding, hugging her back. "And you wont be alone Mae, not for a second. I can promise you that. Whatever happens, you wont be alone."

Lukas nodded then, shrugging. "I suppose you're right. But it doesn't give me much chance to learn quickly." He held their girl gently and smiled down at her. "She is so sweet..."

Lexi laughed a little then, kissing his cheek, "Alright, I'll try." She promised, kissing his jaw and then his ear.

[McKensie]

Liv smiled and let him go "I release you only to turn the movie on. I want my pillow back!" She of course was referring to him.

Mae sighed "should we go to the hospital? I just don't know what to do..."

Anne nodded watching her suck on his fingers "she likes you Luk...going to be a daddy's little princess I can already tell..."

Damon shuddered and quickly had his shirt off "new and improved demon husband!" He announced

[Lara]

Dem grinned, walking over to turn on the tv, before returning to her and wrapping his arms around her. "Happy?"

Torch nodded slowly. "We should probably go to the hospital here soon." He agreed. "But today, don't worry about it, ok?" He urged. "I feel as if I haven't seen you in forever."

Lukas chuckled, looking down at her. "Yes you are, aren't you?" He asked the little baby who giggled again, "certainly an active little thing, isn't she?"

Lexi couldn't keep her eyes from sweeping his body and she grinned, liking what she saw very much. He had become stronger, more defined. "Is it bad if I say I like you more now?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

[McKensie]

Liv smiled and nodded kissing him tenderly "couldn't be more happy if I tried..."

Mae nodded and snuggled up on his side lovingly "I missed you so much...you know that? Michael missed his daddy..."

Anne smiled and nodded "very active and lively...will be a powerful demon someday!"

Damon laughed and kissed her again "no...you fell in love with me not my body...I like the improvements too."

Dem smiled then, kissing her back as the movie started. He rested his head on hers and sighed contentedly. "I am glad. Because I feel the same."

Torch wrapped his arms around her and lay back, just resting with her. "I'm glad I was missed." he said, smiling softly. "because I missed you both very much."

Lukas smiled, watching as their daughter finally fell asleep, his fingers still in her mouth. "I'm glad to hear that." he whispered, smiling over at Anne.

Lexi smiled then, glad she had not offended him or anything, as it was the truth. "I'm going to have to hide you under a rock whenever we go out now... I don't know how much I'll like everyone staring at you." She teased, running a finger down his chest.

Liv took his hand and placed it on her stomach, it felt nice there and it kind of connected their family together. She heard a commotion outside and frowned "what on earth?...or Hell?"

Mae smiled and ran her hand down his abdoman "that water is pretty incredible...I wish I wasn't so tired." She said honestly and nuzzled him "tell me about your journey?"

Anne gently took her and tucked her in the bassinet next to their bed, she put the blanket over her and watched how she curled up "so precious..."

Damon chuckled and turned so she was on top "it's how I feel everytime we go out...need to hide your beauty..."

Dem straightened a little and tried to see out the window. "What is it?" he asked softly, not wanting to get up and leave her, but also curious as to what it was.

Torch smiled softly, glad that she was pleased. "Well, Damon and I traveled through the maze of trials." he started. "That was an adventure..."

Lukas walked up, watching her put her to bed. He wrapped his arms around Anne from behind and kissed her shoulder. "Thanks to you love."

Lexi blushed then, shaking her head. "I suppose we shall both live under a rock then." She said, smiling a little wider. She certainly did not think of herself as beautiful, but she was very glad that he did.

Liv turned and listened closely to the multiple voices outside "the...the gate is open Demetri! Hell is being emptied again..."

Mae looked up and smiled "maze of trials, like what? Was it dangerous!"

Anne smiled and looked behind at him "you helped create them my love...I'm glad you finally had the courage to ask me out...centuries went by!"

Damon smiled "just stay in the bedroom forever..." He heard the babies and sighed "or not..."
