Chapter 112 - The Blessed Luna
Shelby's POV
We returned back to my office. I took the scroll from my file cabinet while Jenna mindlinked everyone to the conference room.
'Are Daminix and Elizabetha still here?' I mindlinked Thomas.
'Yes.'
'Great. Can you tell them to join us? They are apparently going to be a big part of our futures.'
'Ok, baby. On it.'
Soon enough we were all in the conference room together.
"Alrighty then, let's get the show on the road." Jenna laughed.
"Calm Down." I laughed at her excitement.
Jenna and I went back and forth explaining everything. From the trip to the Fates to the trip to my mother's.
"In conclusion, I have a few things to add." I looked at everyone. "I think we should remodel the basement and build a second bunker. I want Daminix and Elizabetha to move to our pack. We can build them a bunker that will be like their own home, designed how they want it. We can remodel the basement and connect a tunnel to the bunker, that way they be able to come to the packhouse if needed. If you agree to join us here, we will set up blind systems in the packhouse to block out the sun if you come into the packhouse during the day. Since, our children will be brothers in a sense, I would like for them to be around each other all the time. Plus, if you are ever away on business, she will have us to watch her. Once she gets further along, she can't fly everywhere."
"What better place to hide a pregnant vampire Queen than a powerful wolf pack?" Jenna smiled ear to ear.
"True. What do you think Thomas, is this alright with you?" Daminix asked while turning to Thomas.
"You know I trust Shelby's judgement. If she believes this is best, then I have no issues with it. We have no bad blood between us. Every since Shelby thought you were her mate we have thought of you as family."
"Elizabetha, my love, what do you think?"
"Daminix, you should already know the answer to that." She answered giddily.
"Fine then, we will stay a few more days and I will work this all out with Thomas." Daminix said before kissing her forehead.
Our guys were tough, strong, and deadly ... but to us girls, they were putty in our hands.
"I want to set up a meeting with Dylan also. I think it's time to bring lycans back into the world permanently." I smiled.
"Since vampires have a King that actually respects them now, they shouldn't be in any danger." Thomas said, nodding his agreement.
"Yes. I will even make a treaty with them if it will make them more comfortable. Any vampires that act in any way that is offensive will be punished accordingly." Daminix said, nodding his agreement too.
"Then let's invite them tomorrow." I said. "Now, Thomas ..."
"Yeah, babe?"
I grabbed his hands and held his eyes with mine.
"I'm pregnant."
I really did think I broke him this time. His eyes went wide and his month dropped open. No words were coming out.
"Dude?!!" James tried to snap him out of it after a few minutes went by.
We all started to laugh, until we saw the tears swelling on the edges of his eyes.
"I, I, I'm ... I'm gonna be ... a dad?" He stuttered out.
I nodded my head and his tears flowed. I got up to go hug him. He wrapped around my waist tightly.
"Great!" I was excited, I turned to look at my girls, as Thomas sat me on his lap. "Next, I think we should also get to work on the nurseries. We have 10 moons and 4 princes coming. Elizabetha, would you please help us with ours till your new home gets built and we will help with yours?"
"Of course, without a doubt."
"I want us all to build our bond stronger. I want all of us to become so familiar and in sync with each other that we get sick of each other, but we also can anticipate every move and thought each other is having without asking. We'll start tomorrow morning. All the men will handle their parts and us ladies will start ours. Tomorrow is the 1st full moon."
We all got up and went to have dinner. Daminix and Elizabetha left us. We talked for a while. Everyone went their separate ways once we were done. I went back to the conference room to get the scroll so I can lock it back up. Thomas and I headed upstairs.
"I'm going to go lock this up in my office. I'll be back in a moment." I told Thomas at our bedroom door.
He nodded, kissed my forehead, and I walked down the hall. I went in my office and over to my filing cabinet. Once I locked it, I heard the door to my office shut. I snapped my head in it's direction. There stood Hyperion, my grandfather. I didn't even think twice, I ran to him and hugged him.
"Thank you for everything you did. I know I can never repay you, but I will try." I cried, wrapping my arms tighter. "I, literally, owe my life to you."
"I did it because you mean the world to me. I never wanted any form of payment for anything I did to protect you. I was in love with you before I knew you, you are my granddaughter. But, if you insist on paying me back ... let me get to know you now. Let me also get to know my great grandchild. I want to be a part of your family."
"How could I ever deny you that? My life, my family, my child, my everything ... wouldn't have ever been possible without you sacrificing everything you had, even your own life." I told him honestly. "You are free to come here whenever you want."
"I loved your grandmother dearly. I loved Rhea more. I never wanted my son to feel that pain. The gods brought a lot of heartache to us. Zeus was power hungry. The very definition of arrogance. He even let his son and daughter fall, while he ran away. My love for you and my fear of what he was capable of, is why I took you and hid you. The only person I ever loved more than Rhea is Helios. The love of a child is the greatest love of all. I couldn't let my son or your mother feel the pain of losing you. If Zeus harmed you in any way ... Tartarus would've been open that day. You will be the one to bring Olympus to it's knees. You will be the Savior we have needed for so long. But, until that day comes, I will stay by your side. Titans are actually greater than gods and you are the greatest of them all."
I was taken back by his words. He smiled down at me.
"You see, little one, you are the darkest night and the brightest day. You are the perfect combination of both. Conceived in love, hid in the dark, and now you will shine in the light."
He kissed the top of my head, said he be back another day, and vanished. I stood there another minute or so taking in his words. I then went back to my room.
"Are you ok, babe?" Thomas asked as I walked in the door.
I told him what happened. We got ready for bed. As I laid there trying to fall asleep my mind wondered off.
--- Bring Olympus to it's knees? The greatest of all? Why do I always end up with more questions than answers? ---
