I was immediately attacked by my aunt. Nova walker my mother's twin.

"My favorite niece" she kissed every inch of my face."

"I'm your only niece." laughing at her comment.

" I know how you been flower? Wowww and would you look at that belly."

She gestured to touch my stomach.

"Can I?"

"Yes of course"

She placed her hand over my belly.

"Whew we have a fighter, he's strong."

Just like Damon.

"Do you know the gender yet?"

I shook my head"It's to much going on and I wasn't able to schedule an appointment with Doc but I know it's a boy."

"How do you know?"

"Mhmmm not sure I just have a feeling."

"God I hope your right we need more warlocks in this family."

Being around aunt nova was heaven to me. Her wisdom was one thing let along her personality. I envied her since I was a child. She was a true healer. My mom on the other hand not so in touch with her earthy side bu she did enjoy spell casting and meditating more than anything.

"Come on everyone is getting settled in. Natalie told me you'll be here until the end of the pregnancy?"

"Yea well I'm not sure if I want to return you know back to Damon."

"You can stay here with me for how ever long you wish flower and honey trust me and royals never mix so I get what you mean."

"Exactly where is here ?"

"Someplace no other supernatural creature stepped foot on unless I say so. This is a sacred place. No one knows it's here."

I felt calm and at peace here. Walking into the kitchen the smell of food invited me as did a kicking Kaiden. I'm starting to think he likes food more than me.......

"We're cooking for thanksgiving tomorrow."

"My idea since your pregnant I wanted you to eat as much as possible." My uncle jasper said.

Jasper was a human my aunt fell in love with after Natalie father died.

He pulled me into a warm hug.

"WOW SHIT"

He jumped when he saw Kinely walk into the house. Uncle J looked to my aunt with a 'you really brought a dog here.'

"Amore ...you know I don't do dogs."

She left my right side to go and kiss him on the cheek and rubbed his arm.

"Well ... you'll have to because nahara and the gang are staying here for a good minute."

His eyes widened.

"So no more quickies around the house?"

She shook her head.

"Well I .... nahara sweetie you know uncle j loves you so much but...... can't you stay somewhere else?"

Aunt nova gasped slapping his arm hella hard.

"Ok ok amor I was just kidding." He started laughing but you could tell it was a fake laughs

"See ha ha ha I would never asked you to leave."

He then mouthed 'leave' 'get out'.

The feeling of family always calm me down.

I left the two love birds downstairs and went to unpack my suit case Riley brought in for me.

"Hey kiddo." Later on my dad walked into the room. "Hey"

"You ok ? I couldn't help but feel you needed ya old man to talk to." He hugged me side ways rubbing my shoulders.

Tears began to fall from my face.

'Oh god someone get some tissue'

Seriously inner self please shut up.

"I-I just thought he had feelings for me but I guess not."

He huffed.

"I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have to go through this. Having to give up your future for all this mess."

"No dad if it weren't for you I wouldn't be alive. At first I hated the idea of having to carry a child. Having to give up my future for this life ,But I've made peace with it. I had fun up until now. If anything I should be thanking you."

"That's my girl, always trying to find the light in the most darkest places."He smiled

"Why can't I just find love like you and mom or like aunt nova and uncle j?"

"First off kiddo your to young to be thinking about love. Secondly we didn't find love we let the universe send the love we needed. At the end of the day your young a beautiful enjoy it. P.s trust me the marriage life is not what-"

"You finish that sentence and your sleeping with the dog."

We immediately looked up to mom with her arms cross and one eyebrow raised.

"I was just telling her how beautiful marriage is and how much I love her mother."

He kissed my forehead and walked slowly to her side.

"Yea well tell that to Kinely."

He mumbled something that caused her to hit him multiple times.

"You get some sleep baby I'll come check up on you once you're up."

"Mom I'm not a baby anymore, I got this."

"Oh hush up ....you'll always be my baby." She winked at me.

While walking out the door she held my father by his ears and dragged them hopefully far from me.

Night time soon took over the sky as

I laid down in the bed watching the beautiful pinkish color fade into tomorrow.

I wonder if I'll ever stop feeling this way towards Damon Lowe. Soon one baby will be born then the other. What's been worrying me the most was the fact that I saw Damon die. Yes I hated the man but that doesn't mean I wanted him to die.

Would he really not be in my life after this? He wouldn't be able to see his children grow up.

How exactly would I explain to them about their father passing?

Of course I'd keep the contract out of it.

With a loud huff I rubbed my belly in a slow calming way while humming.

"This place feels just like home."
