Chapter 306 - Three Hundred And Six : Don't Thank Your God Yet
"Rex and I were at ho just as you instructed," Trevor began to narrate what happened to them after Sabrina cald him down with a spell.
"Then Williams ca over, it seed suspicious when he questioned , and the next I knew, I was in so sort of cabin with Chris who induced everything out of my mouth with the help of so sort of truth serum.
"Then Electra stord in to bust out. However, she was no match for Chris - he had a load of unimaginable weapons used against supernaturals. He would have really killed her if Wiliams hadn't helped us escape," Trevor finalized.
"Wait a minute here, you an Chris?" Lia recalled, "That creepy ass hunter who once disguised himself as a?detective to interrogate after that necromancer incident?"
"Yeah," Trevor nodded, "I think he?found sothing on you and has been investigating that ever since,"
"He once wanted you sent to the council for interrogation after he thought you were a vampire, but I prevented that," Asher added.
"And you didn't care to tell ?" Daniel picked that up.
Asher folded his arms and faced him, "What would you have done if I had told you, huh? Kill him? That guy is a grade-A hunter that is fortified from his head to the sole of his feet. The mont you touch him, I'm sure you'd trigger sothing that would get your head served on a platter. I outwitted him, period, "
"Clearly, you didn't outwit him enough and now, our mate is in danger because of?you!" Daniel raised his voice on him, Asher took offense.
"Then what about you, what have you done for Lia?! I have been the one trying to save her ass all these ti while you do literally nothing.
"Alright, stop it, both of you," Lia got in between them, neither one wasn't listening to her.
Daniel pushed Asher on the chest and the vampire retaliated by punching him in the face. That action infuriated Daniel whose iris shone yellow, nostrils flaring, prepared to lunge at the vampire when Lia put up a barrier that knocked the both of them back.
"Seriously, the both of you should knock it out right now!" Lia said in an outburst, "If there's anybody here who should be angry, it should be !" She pointed at her chest furiously.
Lia had bottled up her feelings all this while, pretending that she was okay. But now, she felt like exploding.
"I'm the one who had sex like every hormonal teenager would but got pregnant on the first try. Not only did I get pregnant but delivered in one day which is freaking creepy if you ask , But no one has bothered to ask how I feel about all these happenings! I just delivered three triplets only to discover that my father I thought was human turned out to be a demon and I'm one too and my child… my child… " Lia began to hyperventilate.
"She's overwheld. The girl needs so air," Sabrina observed Lia.
Daniel and Asher stepped forward to take her away.
"Away from both of you right now," Helen stopped them from taking another step," Cut the girl so slacks, boys. She's a teenager who's been dealing with all this craziness with the both of you added, the least you can do for her is to give her so space,"
Daniel and Asher looked at each other, communicated with their eyes, and walked away in unison.
"Iter!" Sabrina said and both vanished.
"Lia, breathe," Sabrina placed her hand on the girl's shoulder, guiding her on how to control her breathing.
"Yeah, long, deep, breath- just like that,"
"Where am I?" Lia looked around when she ca around.
"We are in a public pack but this right now is an illusion, aning you're in a fantasy world I created for the both of us," Sabrina explained, touching one of the colorful flowers that wrapped its petals around her finger the way a cat would with its tail.
"Hmm," Lia chuckled, "Quite funny since I'm a fantasy creature,"
"Yeah, you're kind of," Sabrina concurred.
"Thank you for this Alice in a wonderland-like universe," Lia gestured to the aurora australis - southern light - in the sky and the flowers magically smiling at her, their pollen as bright as the morning sun.
"Oh, don't worry. I totally understand. I can't even dare to imagine myself in your shoes - having to deal with two overly jealous demanding mates. This is your pri and you're supposed to be having the best ti of your life as a teenager; partying hard, dating boys, and being sexually active - "
Lia interrupted, "Can we jump over that section, I'm kind of sensitive to any world on 'sex' right now,"
"Fine. But what I'm trying to say is that you deserve a holiday after all this madness is over. You're a teenager, live like one,"
"Alright," Lia nodded her head, then went ahead to lay down on the grass that was as soft as her bed.
Sabrina did the sa too. She turned to Lia asking, "Should we go back?"
"How much longer is this illusion going to last?" she inquired, staring up at the breathtaking southern lights.
"Fifteen minutes more," Sabrina answered, conjuring a tir in the air for her to see.
That was so cool, Lia suddenly wished she was a witch.
"Better. I want to live like a teenager till then. My mates can take care of themselves and the kids," Lia said.
************************
They couldn't take care of them at all.
"Hazel and Hailey are not stopping," complained Daniel who couldn't soothe his fussing twins.
"Neither is Arthur," Asher had the sa complaint with his child in his arms.
The kids were crying so loud their ears were hurting. Helen and Jenny had given them up to their fathers when they wouldn't calm down, hoping the fathers would do the magic. But it seems mothers win.
"I think they just miss their mother," Ben told them, "Haven't you heard of the mother-child bond shared at birth? Can't you stop to think that since your kids are supernatural, that it might be heightened in their case," He theorized?
"Holy smokers! We need Lia. As much as I love my kids, they're driving crazy with their screams," Daniel disheveled his hair while he held Hailey with his other arm.
"We were dicks," Asher finally realized how indifferent they were to Lia's feelings.
"Yeah," Daniel admitted, "I wish she was here right now,"
At once, Sabrina and Lia appeared.
"Bless my genie in a bottle," Daniel took Lia in his arms, hugging her tight and careful enough not to squeeze the child in his arms.
"I'm so sorry. It never crossed my mind how you've been affected by all this - not to add the postnatal stress," He caressed her back lovingly.
"Urm, okay," Lia pulled back to see Asher here to render his apology too.
"I'm sorry for everything, including linking myself with Daniel and taking you without your permission - "
"I forgive you, Asher. I felt underwater?that mont I just wanted to … breath,"
"I understand Lia but can you please make him stop," he presented their fussing kid to her.
"I guess I can't escape motherhood," Lia mumbled under her breath as she took her son Arthur from his father while hoping he doesn't do that creepy demon thing.
"And they too," The girls were presented to her.
"I think he's hungry but I can only feed one at a ti - even though I have no idea how to do so," Lia turned to her mother, " I think I need your expertise here, mom,"
"Sure, alright," Jenny was surprised when her daughter asked for her help. This was the first ti of reaching out to her since their fallout.
"I'll co along too, just to help out," Helen volunteered. She was obviously happier to be a grandma.
The mont they left, the main discussion.
"You can't let them take my sister, they're going to hurt her," Trevor told them.
"We are not going to let anyone take her, not in our watch," Daniel promised him.
"But you can't fight the council, Daniel. They're stronger than us," Sabrina reasoned.
"How's Electra?" Asher asked Dan who returned to the room after dealing with her.
"She's treated and settled," Dan
"You'd have to take the kids away," Asher suddenly said to him.
"What?! "
"He's right," Daniel saw sense in his plan, "The council doesn't know about the kids and we have to keep it that way. Who knows what they would do when they hear one activated his bloodline,"
"How's Lia going to react to that?" Sabrina inquired. The girl was a young mother who wouldn't want to be separated from her kid so quickly.
"Lia would understand. She knows there's no other option -?we barely know how to keep her from the council," said Asher.
"Talking of kids, I have no idea where my brother Rex is," It suddenly crossed Trevor's mind. Everyone was so burdened with the happenings they forgot the little boy.
"We have to find him before Jenny freaks out," Daniel shuddered, rembering one of the woman's fit.
"How do we begin to find -" Ben was still saying when he heard.
"Anyone call for a babysitter,"
Everyone turned.
"Devon?"
Rex ca out from behind her.
"Thank God," Trevor breathed, going to hug his brother.
"Don't thank your God yet, there's an army of the counsel's finest heading here,"
