Chapter 113 - The Blessed Luna

Shelby's POV

Tonight is the night of the 10th moon.

Everything has gone the way we had hoped it would and planned it out. Daminix and Elizabetha live here with us now. The women from my clan of vampires wait on her hand and foot, they spoil her to no end. They all gush about how this is the first pure bred baby. Yep, since this baby wasn't from a human mother that got turned right before the birth, it makes this baby the first of his kind to be born pure. Their bunker is plain and simple. Elizabetha wanted it to feel like a cozy place for the baby as he grew up. She said that she grew up in a huge type palace and hated it. She wants as much "normalcy" as possible.

Dylan agreed it was time to come out into the world again, now that he has taken over the lycan pack. He didn't sign a treaty with Daminix because he trusted him. Dylan's dad stayed behind and is going to oversee the ones that stay. Dylan gave them a choice to go out in the world or stay in the woods. Most of the ones who stayed were older people who had lived there their whole lives and didn't want to move. The land between our packs has been having more construction. Dylan and Thomas decided to use most of that land to be the lycan's land. They are building apartments and small houses. This whole area is becoming it's own town. I can't believe how much has changed in 3 years.

Currently, as of this moment, Jenna and I are pacing the living room. At around 5 am this morning, Jenna gracefully woke us all up by screaming 'I'm dying' at the top of her lungs around the house. Her first labor pain about 'crippled her' as she explained ... with a lot of exaggeration. Around lunch my contractions started. Jenna and myself are walking in the living room, getting direction from Joel who panicked every time we had a contraction.

"I swear Joel, I'm dying. Release me from my misery." Jenna begged after another contraction hit.

"You know the doctor said it is best if you girls keep walking around. It will help it go smoother. Your contractions aren't close enough yet to head to the hospital." Joel reminded her soothingly.

The guys have been instructed to stay out of the living room for now. When contractions hit us, we may or may not say mean things to them. However, they keep popping their heads in the doorway to check on us.

"OWWW!!" Jackie suddenly screamed, having her first contraction.

"Welcome to the party, sis." Jenna laughed. "One more to go to get this party on the road."

We all looked at Elizabetha.

"Nope. Not yet." She said rubbing her belly.

We looked like huge blow up beach balls with arms, legs, and a head.

"Dinner time." James said sticking his head in.

We all looked at him with deadpan faces. Who wants to sit and eat when our insides feel like they are being ripped out every 10 minutes.

"Tell Liam that Jackie has started her contractions. Bring dinner in here." Joel said, while shooing him out the door.

"Am I being punished?" Jenna asked. "I've been in labor all day."

Bless her heart. I have been miserable most of the day. I can't imagine what she is going through.

The boys brought a tray of different things in and Joel sat it on the table. We started picking at the food while still pacing.

"Sit down. Your legs are going to give out." Joel scolded us.

We sat a bit and walked a bit while talking and munching. The contractions were getting stronger and closer. Joel wouldn't budge on letting us go though. About another hour and Elizabetha joined us.

"It's almost 11 now. How much longer must we suffer?" Jenna pleaded.

"When the moon is at it's apex." My mother appeared behind us. " About another hour. I'm sorry girls."

"Finally, an adult." Jenna said.

"First off, excuse me? And, secondly, you are an adult." Joel said offended.

"He's holding us höstage. Help Us!" Jenna begged my mother jokingly.

We all just laughed at her. As it neared midnight, the contractions were so intense. They were 2 mins apart.

"Let me get the guys. You ladies are ready." Joel said excitedly.

He rushed out the door and started shouting commands to the guys. They came in and went to our sides. With a flick of my mother's wrist we were at the hospital. Everyone there was caught off guard for a second, but everyone is already us to titans, witches, and gods popping in by now.

"Alpha, Luna, Betas, Gammas, King and Queen, your rooms are ready." The head nurse said.

There were four nurses ready to take us to our rooms. Reneé, and three of the best doctors she hand picked, have been going through all this with us. Reneé wanted to bring her grandchildren into the world herself, but opted out because she didn't wanna choose one daughter over the other. Reneé was my doctor, although she has over seen all the other doctors till now.

"Ready to bring my grandbabies into the world?" Reneé beamed brightly at us walking down the hall lined with chairs.

My dad greeted my mom with a kiss. They both took a sit in between Hyperion and Rhea. Hyperion and Rhea have been helping us all so much with baby stuff. I even catch them flirting from time to time. My Gammy, Celest, Jonas, and Lily were seated along the hall too. Lily and Jonas will be expecting their little girl in about 3 months. Joel took his place beside Garrick. All of our family were here. Yes, most of them were kin to me somehow, but we all have grown so close. Everyone looks at all four of us as their own.

"Are we on time?" We turned to see Athena.

"My bestie." Hephaestus came around her toward Jackie.

"Be gentle." Ares came around her too.

"Anybody else?" I laughed.

Jackie was fighting off Hephaestus' hug when a contractions hit all four of us. Our waters broke all at once.

"In your rooms now!" Reneé ordered.

Our husband's walked us to our rooms while Reneé ordered the nurses on standby to come now.

"Boys, help them get undressed and in a gown. Then, get them on the beds." Reneé ordered again.

"Don't touch me." Jenna smacked James' hand. "I'm not touching you in another million years. This is all your fault."

"I'm immortal now. I can wait. Plus, didn't you seduce me all the time? I'd still be an innocent boy if it weren't for you." We all laughed at James.

"James!" Jenna grabbed his arm as a contraction hit her hard.

"I got you, baby." He lifted her up and carried her in the room.

We all made our way into our rooms. Hopefully, this won't be a long night.

--- I wonder what our babies will look like? Who will be born first? ---
