Third Person POV
“What do you mean you’re going to Salem?” Mikayla asks.
“Our mom is having the babies,” Connor says.
“Ok but how can she travel if she’s in labor?” Mikayla asks.
“We can’t tell you. And we’ll have to keep the way a secret so…” Boston says.
“So I can’t go with you? What am I going to do here by myself?” Mikayla asks.
“You can come, but you’ll have to wear a talisman that removes your senses until we reach our destination. We’ll be guiding you but you won’t have any of your senses. You won’t even realize what is happening. One moment you’ll be here the next we’ll be there,” Boston says.
“Why though. Don’t you trust me?” She asks.
“We do. But until we’re fully mated our parents don’t trust anyone completely. Plus there’s a barrier that will rip the soul out of anyone who seeks to harm us. So making it to the other side is an automatic acceptance by my aunts,” Connor says.
“Why is that important? Shouldn’t I be trying to impress your parents?” Mikayla asks.
“Our aunts are the Triad, Salem’s council of witches, they taught us all how to use our magic,” Boston says.
“So...super important,” she says.
“Yeah I guess so,” Connor says.
“You’ll do fine babe, I promise,” Boston says.
“I’m a freaking angel, of course I’ll be fine,” Mikayla says.
“There’s my girl. I don’t know why you’ve been so shy and quiet since we’ve been here,” Connor says.
“I’m nervous ok. This has been a big deal. And in my defense y'all thought I was human until yesterday,” she says.
“Yeah but you’ve never been shy. You always have this confidence that I find incredibly sexy,” Boston says kissing Mikayla passionately. Connor comes behind her and kisses her neck, but as always Mikayla pushes them back before things get too heated. They both groan in frustration.
“You’re killing us baby,” Boston says.
“I’m sorry. I’m trying,” Mikayla says.
“Did we do something?” Boston asks. Connor smacks him in the head. “What the f**k bro?”
“Are you dense? Smell her,” Connor says.
“I can smell her arousal,” Boston says, making Mikayla’s cheeks turn pink.
“What else do you smell?” Connor asks. Boston inhales deeply.
His eyes open wide and his pupils darken with lust.
“You’re a virgin. How? If you’ve been alive since the twenties how have you never had s*x?” Boston asks.
“I never met the right guy. I could always feel that something wasn’t right. So I waited. I never thought I’d have a mate, let alone two, and now…” she trails off.
“You’re nervous. I understand sweetheart. I wish we had waited for you. We’re stupid guys. I know that’s not an excuse, but just know that now that we’ve found you there is absolutely no one in the world we’d rather be with. You’re everything to us,” Connor says.
“I want to. I really do. I guess I’m just waiting for the right moment, and I’m absolutely positive that when your mom is in labor is not the right moment. I know it sounds stupid and girly but I want it to be…” Boston cuts her off.
“Special. We want that for you too, Angel. We’re going to make it perfect. We promise,” he says.
--------------------------
“Ok I think we’re ready. Your parents have the little ones and they will be ready for these guys when we get back,” Andrei says.
“Then let’s go. I have a feeling I’ll need to push soon,” Midnight says. “Where are your brothers?”
“We’re here, can you let Mikayla through the barrier?” Connor asks.
“Sure. Oooouch,” Midnight says, holding her belly. She lets Mikayla in and they make their way to the portal.
“So I just walk through?” Mikayla asks.
“Yes,” Midnight says through the pain of her contractions.
“You’ll be fine babe,” Boston says.
“f**k I need these babies out of me! You’re lucky I love you clowns or I’d never have s*x with either of you again!” Midnight screams.
Midnight is tough and doesn’t feel pain until it’s time to push. So if she’s screaming at her mates then they don’t have much time before the babies are here. Midnight steps through the portal with Drake by her side. Shawn and Andrei pass through together followed by Elijah, Frederick, and Greyson.
“You ready?” Boston asks.
Mikayla nods and takes each of their hands and the three of them step through the portal.
Please be ok. Mikayla thinks to herself. When she opens her eyes she’s in a room similar to the one they just came from. Sukie, Jane, and Alexandra were waiting for them on the other side.
“Don’t you dare touch me right now. I hate you both for doing this to me!” Midnight screams.
“Oh dear. I see it won’t be much longer now,” Jane says.
“Everything is prepared. Let’s get you settled in,” Sukie says.
Slowly older witches start to gather in the ritual room in a large circle around Midnight. She sits down on the cushions and Shawn and Andrei take their places next to her. Drake sits behind Midnight and begins using acupressure to relieve some of Midnight’s pain. When the final witch enters the room the door seals and the only light in the room is from candles throughout the room. Midnight curses her mates and cries.
“I can’t do it. Something is wrong,” Midnight says.
“Nothing is wrong. The babies are huge. We may need to cut you to make enough room for them to come out. You’re already tearing. This way we can control the bleeding and not do any permanent damage,” Sukie says.
“Do whatever you have to just get these babies out of me!” Midnight yells.
Sukie gets to work and within a few seconds she tells Midnight it was time.
“On your next contraction push with everything you have,” Sukie says.
“Oh my Goddess!” Midnight yells as she pushes with everything she can. Still no baby. “Why aren’t they coming out?”
“I don’t know dear,” Sukie says.
Suddenly a silver beam of light shines through the room and a beautiful woman appears. She has long silver hair and pale white skin. She is wearing a white shimmering gown and emanates power.
“Selene. Why are you here? Please tell me nothing is wrong with my babies,” Midnight asks.
“No my dear. They’re just fine. I came to help these little ones come into the world,” Selene says.
“You’re going to deliver my babies?” Midnight asks.
“Seems they won’t come out otherwise,” Selene smiles. “Are you ready, my little ones?” Selene coos to midnight’s stomach, who immediately start kicking their mama.
“Ok Lucian, you first. Midnight push,” Selene says.
Midnight pushes with all her might and her first pup comes out, man is he a big baby. Selene hands him to Andrei.
“Lucian?” Andrei asks.
“I figured you’d want the next letter in the alphabet since that’s the route you chose naming,” Selene smiles and kisses the baby’s forehead.
“Ok Marco, are you ready?” Selene says. Midnight starts to push and out comes another equally large baby boy. Selene hands him to Shawn and kisses his forehead.
“Hi Marco. I’m one of your daddies,” Shawn says to the baby.
“Come along now Nikolai,” Selene says. Midnight pushes and baby Nikolai is born. Selene gives him to Drake and kisses his forehead.
“And last but not least. My little defender of mankind. It’s time Olexa,” Midnight pushed but Olexa wouldn’t budge. Selene furrowed her brows. “Don’t make me come in there after you.”
“You can do that?” Midnight’s eyes bulge out of her head. Midnight rubs her belly and connects to her baby. “Please come out little baby. Mommy is in a lot of pain and she really doesn’t want a goddess all up in her uterus. I still need to make a bunch of baby dragons.”
Midnight pushes on her next contraction and out comes the most beautiful baby girl anyone has ever seen. Ok, maybe she’s a little biased, but the baby is still really fuckin cute. She has these beautiful chocolate brown curls with a reddish tint. She had dark violet eyes, the cutest button nose and pink rosy lips. Selene kisses her forehead and passes her to Midnight.
“Hi Olexa. I’m your mama,” she says smiling at the tiny baby in her arms.
Midnight only had a moment to hold her daughter before Sukie’s eyes glazed over like she was communicating with someone telepathically.
“We’re under attack. Something is trying to break through the barrier,” Sukie says to Midnight.
