Chapter 463

Alanis
Father has been asking to see the babies and it has been over a month since they have been born. I can’t even tell anyone how difficult this month has been. I haven’t had a minute to myself and it feels like I am slowly losing my mind. Beau has been a big help through everything but it has been hard. Hard to understand their needs most times.
According to Alby, they are hybrids. This just means they are not werewolves or vampires. I don’t know what it means even though I know what a Hybrid is. Jabi is a hybrid but I don’t know exactly what it means.
Right now, there are two car seats inside Darrien’s car and I never thought this would be something I would ever see. It is weird and amusing to me at the same time and even though I have been tossing and turning to make sure they are okay back there, I still try to remain in the conversation with my brother.
“You know this is going to be awkward as fuck,’’ he mutters not even looking at me as the words escape his lips. I have no doubt that me with two babies is going to be weird to father. I mean, it took a while for him to even accept Beau and now I have two babies. This is something that shouldn’t happen to a vampire, talk less a man.
“Yeah but he wants to see them, he has been asking for a while now,’’ I manage because I am nervous.
He laughs “Does he really?”
I nod.
“Why hasn’t he come to the community, if he really wanted to see them?’’
I know that father is not comfortable in a den full of werewolves, I understand why he wouldn’t want to come but he has before and Darrien is a little right but I don’t want to think about that right now.
“He’s been busy,’’ I say.
“He’s been busy?’’ he asks sarcastically. My eyes dart to the back seat where the babies are and they are sleeping peacefully. This is the first time they have been this quiet since they were born.
“They seem to like being inside a car,’’ I speak out completely forgetting that we were having a conversation about father. Darrien looks into the red view mirror and a smile sprawls on his face.
“They like my car,’’ he jokes and I roll my eyes because he is just acting cute “I can give them rides whenever you need a time off,’’ he adds and that just warms my heart. I thought my being emotional would end after the pregnancy but I never went back to my normal self. Everything thing makes me cry, or smile, or look at the babies and I just can’t stop.
“Thank you so much, that is nice of you.”
We get to the driveway of the mansion before he can respond and he parks the car in front of the house.
“Well here we are,’’ he mutters as we both get down from the car.
“Hey, help me with one of them?’’
He shakes his head immediately.
“What?’’
“No, I can’t hold them. I can’t even get close enough to touch them.’’
I laugh. “You can’t even get close enough to touch them?’’ I ask incredulously.
“No, I can’t,’’ he says and I look at him like he is crazy.
“Are you sure?’’
“Yes, I can’t,’’ he says and I can’t help but laugh. He doesn’t even try, He just opens the door and stomps his foot. Waiting for me to bring them out on my own.
“You know I can’t get them out alone,”
He rolls his eyes “I think Elu is home, I will get her for you. Wait here.’’ he leaves me before I can even try to convince him to help me and this just makes me laugh even more. Darrien will never change. He will always be like this, no matter how long he loves Jabi. I don’t have any problems with that because he has become one of my favorite people but it wouldn’t hurt him to be a little more helpful.
I wait in the car for a few minutes and then I see Elu walking down the stairs. She is dressed in a long black dress and she has her hair in a bun. She comes out and looks at me with a confused look on her face.
“What happened to Darrien? He literally dragged me out of the house,’’ she smiles but before I can respond to her, her eyes open wide as she notices them inside the car “Oh my god, they are so freaking adorable,’’ she squeals and the sound of her voice wakes Colin up. He squirms in the little car seat, slowly opening his eyes “Can I hold him?’’ she asks still gushing over him.
I smile “That is why Darrien brought you outside.”
She hurries into the car and I watch her as she lifts him up in her arms and starts to drop kisses on his face. The smile on my face widens as I grab Colt, who is still sleeping and we walk in the direction of the house.
“I have been waiting for this moment for a while,” she says as she carries him inside.
“Why?’’ I ask.
“I just love babies, I love the way they look at you, the way they smile, the way they smell, it is so cute,” she giggles and I find it odd because being a vampire just means that you can’t have children. This was never in the works for us, so she must know that she will never have any.
“I know right?’’ I say with a smile. She carries him into the living room and we both sit down just as father walks in with Darrien.
“You are here,’’ he exclaims with a smile on his face.
He walks over to me and slowly his eyes shift from Colt to Colin “They look so much like you,’’ he points out.
I can’t help but agree with him because this is something I noticed. Their resemblance to me is uncanny.
Beau says he loves that everything he looks at them, they remind him of me. Darrien’s phone rings loudly and he walks over to it. I watch him as he walks away from us and after a couple of seconds, he comes back into the room.
“I need to leave.’’
I frown “You are my ride home,’’ I remind him
He nods “Elu can drive you.’’
Elu nods but father speaks up “I will drive you home. I want to spend some time with my grandchildren,’’ he collects Colt from me and I can’t help but smile.
There is nothing weird about this.
He is very accepting of it all.
