Willow's POV
A few weeks later...
Hawaii is marvelous! It's nothing like what they said it was in the stories... It's even better! The water is bluer than blue- it's aqua and bright and stunning against the radiating sun. Oh and the beaches: they're like warm, soft snow under my feet when I take my morning walks along our private beach with Maddox.
But even with this great trip and Maddox making sure I'm alright every second of the day, I can't enjoy myself like I need to. Everytime Maddox asks if I'm doing alright because I've been laying down on the couch for hours and my complexion is as pale as ever, even though all we do is go outside, I just tell him that the babies are making me nauseous.
That's not the case, though.
With everyday that passes and these babies continue to grow inside me, I lose more and more energy and the will to keep going with this life. It's gotten to the point where I can
Maddox's POVWhy did I have to be so irresponsible that night so many months ago...? I should've waited longer- got her on the pill or even got that sourcerist to brew me something up so I couldn't get her pregnant! She didn't know any better... It was her first time and I was supposed to be the one to take care of her and made sure everything was alright.I've failed. I've failed so very miserably and now there's a high chance that my wife could die any day now."Sir, would you like anything else to order something? You've been here for awhile now and look a little upset..."Dragging myself out from my thoughts, I peer up, meeting the eyes of the worried bartender. And I nod, grabbing a hundred from my wallet and saying, "keep it coming with the whiskey.." I sigh and look to the time:Eight thirty p.m. I've been out and about all around Maui in the past eight hours, discovering shops that sell things I've never heard of, meeting o
Willow's POV I try to pull away again, placing my hands flat over his chest and pushing with all my might, but still his grip keeps firm around my neck. "M-Maddox please..." I groan as his hand glides to the front of my neck, tightening his grip just so I can breath shallow, low breaths. He chuckles at my attempt to escape again, pulling me up onto the bed this time so that I straddle him unwillingly. "Shhh, my love," his breath radiates the warm scent of whiskey against my face, "we can have a little fun while I do, alright? It will ease the pain and increase the flow of my through your delicious blood stream..." I need to get away- get out of here and as far away as possible... I should've never told myself I would be safe here with Maddox. He loves me so much that he thinks killing me and these babies will make everything better for us! All I need to do is just play along; make him think that I'm going
Maddox's POVThe next morning...She's breathing still... I watch her every breath each moment to make sure it doesn't stop and that chest keeps rising and falling as it should.Vampires- when they get drunk, it usually doesn't last all that long because we metabolise the alcohol so quickly, so when I had gotten back to reality last night, only then did I realize what had happened: drunk Maddox decided to feed on his weak, human wife.But to my luck; my somehow existent luck even in that time and place with what I had done, she managed to survive my desperate feeding on her, earning a fresh scar over the old one where I intentionally fed on her delcious blood. Not to worry, though, I got her back inside as soon as reality hit me and I knew what I had just done- that sober me was back in business even after those bottles of never-ending alcohol.Now Willow's laying here, in our bed with a
Willow's POV"Someone needs to get the portal set up ASAP!" I listen to Maddox growl into the phone, his voice low and threatening yet so incredibly panicked at the same time. "Willow's water has broken and she's two months early... We need to get back and have Doctor Lilithcheck her out. She- we had a bit of an accident last night," he looks at me and I flash him a glare despite my pain. He turns away from me this time and takes a few steps away, whispering to the portal keeper, "if we don't get back in time, I could lose all three of them, Gus. I know it takes a lot of work, but I swear to you I will have bonuses added to your account for this."A few more hard, worried looks are shot my way, followed by the quiet murmurs of "yes" and "okay", then everything goes silent again. All I hear now is the blood racing through my brain and the cries of pain I'm keeping balled up inside of me right now."Wait there," Maddox orders, stuffing
Willow's POV "Alright, Willow!" the doctor yells over my screams and sweats of pushing a literal watermelon out of my puss-, "On the count of three you're going to give me the biggest push you can alright? This baby is nearly out now and that's what we want, okay?" I nod, glancing up at Maddox and he smiles through all his frightfulness. "C'mon baby, you've got this. Just one more push and the first one will be here, alright?" he tells me, dapping a cool towel over my red and sweaty face, still, with his other hand tightly wrapped around mine. "No no no..." I groan tossing my head back into the pillow resisting the urge to push some more, "I-I can't do this anymore, Maddox... I'm too weak to do this- I'm too weak and fragile to be the mother of your children!" I cry, hot tears beginning to flow down my rosy cheeks. He shakes his head, getting low to my level. "No, Willow you are not weak by any means whatsoever. I have no
Willow's POV "Wow you guys..." Liam gasps as he craddles our baby boy in his arms and looks over to Sam who's craddling our girl. "I can't believe I'm an uncle... Oh my God! I thought I'd never see the day!" Maddox chuckles, gleaming down at our baby girl with pride prominent in his eyes. "Ha, you aren't really their uncle yet... You and Samual have been together for years and aren't even married yet! Like c'mon guys... Willow and I have been together for like nearly a year and we already have two kids on our hands." He puts a hand over his brother, Samual's shoulder and smirks, "it's not like you have no money, Buddy. Willow's costed around a mill and not even a dent was made in the account." Wait.. The fucking ring I am wearing right now, the one that's sitting around my left ring finger is a million fucking dollars?! I never even owned something over ten thousand dollars! "You're kidding..." I say, taking my hand and twisting
A few days after the twin's birth...Maddox's POVGlancing down at my watch as I attempt to put Mariella down for the second time within the hour, I see that it's now midnight, meaning neither her of Flynn have really slept for the past twelve hours, even with Willow and I's many attempts to get them there.I love our little creations more than I love anything, but damn are they a lot of work on the both of us... I truly underestimated taking care of babies. I'm not sure how my father did it alone with me. He did have help with Samual, from his second wife who also passed away, but still. Taking care of anything even partially vampire and now hybrid takes a village.Right now, Willow is asleep in our bed in the next room since she's been up for over twenty-four hours straight with the babies while I was handling some business down in the office. Samual and Liam came to help, but eventually they had to
Willow's POV"Oh. My. God!" I scream in excitement. Right in front of me are the most favourite things that I haven't seen in forever: MY ANIMALS! "Come here babies!" I squeal, getting down on to my knees and opening my arms, feeling Charlie and Maya get into my arms first, licking my face over and over until I fall on my back and let them trample me with their love and affection. Then the cats follow quickly after, smothering me with their thick tails and clogging my airways with all their shedding hair.Never have I been so grateful for shedding hair clogging my nose so I can't breathe."I see you're happy about this! Was it as much of a surprise as you expected?" Maddox calls out through all the animals trampling me into the ground."Y-yeah!" I call back, grabbing onto Charlie's golden-haired neck and pulling myself up through the hairy, happy mess. Maddox runs over to me, grabbing my hand to get me out of this tackli
