I linked to my staff then, demanding they go to fetch Griffin and Lana immediately.
Things happened quickly then. Griffin came in and said we were indeed having the babies tonight. The delivery room had been set up for a week now, ever since Griffin and Lana came to stay until the babies were born. We were being moved there immediately. However, neither of us were able to walk so we were instead carried there by members of the staff.
Shawn in one bed, me in the other, we laid there side by side as Griffin and Lana moved between us. There were various monitors being connected to us, laying across our large bellies. And someone was setting out a lot of metal instruments.
We didn’t know how the men of the past, of the legends, had delivered their babies, but we were opting for cesarean sections. No way were we going to try and figure this out some other way.
Griffin did his work quickly and efficiently, as did Lana. Between the two of them they delivered the babies and set them into their corresponding bassinets. We had indeed each had two babies, one boy and one girl. And with us being vampires, we healed very quickly. Not even ten minutes after the surgery we would have healed even if Griffin and Lana hadn’t used their magic on us.
But, as it was, Griffin and Lana both did have powers and as soon as they had gotten the babies out they had us closed up and back to normal in seconds. There was no evidence on our bellies at all that we had been pregnant. No stretch marks, no scars, no loose skin. It was amazing really.
The only evidence of the whole ordeal were the four squirming squealing babies.
The babies were cleaned up and handed to us, one by one. Shawn had had fraternal twins, as did I. But then, why was it that we had two sets of identical twins?
The thing about our babies was that both the boys looked just like Shawn and both the girls looked just like me. They looked like one set of identical girls and one set of identical boys, but we had birthed them separately. That was quite unique. Aside from that, the babies were perfect and beautiful, and ours.
The two girls were born with full heads of black hair and eyes that were so light they looked white. I’m sure the blue would come into them later. The boys were born with Shawn’s silver hair, full heads of it. And their eyes were gray. They were as handsome as could be.
We spent a few minutes then just looking over them. We did notice one slight difference in the babies. They seemed to be born with birthmarks. All the marks were in the same place on all four of them, the right shoulder. All four of the marks were of a crescent moon as well. It’s just that with the two babies Shawn had birthed the moons faced out, toward the right side of the body. The two that I had birthed had the moon facing inward, toward the left side of the body. It made it easy to tell them apart at least.
We chose the names for them as we sat together in the giant bed in our room. We had wanted to see the babies before we chose their names. We wanted to know what they looked like first. The girls were named Alyssa and Alexandria. The boys were named Levi and Luka.
We spent the first week with the babies in Germany, getting used to our new lives as parents. But we had sent word that we were coming home with surprises very soon.

Our time in Germany was interesting to say the least. I admit that I was a little unstable and hormonal during it. I realize that. But I couldn’t help it. And then there was the fact that Dietrich was the best mate in the world even though he was going through the same things I was.
Dietrich took such good care of me while we were pregnant, so much so that I couldn’t complain about a single thing. And then, the day finally came. We had had a romantic dinner together on Valentine’s day, and Dietrich wanted some dessert. I was surprised by that but almost immediately after he tried to start I felt sharp pains. When Deitrich went to stand he had equal pains.
We were in labor, together. We had Griffin and Lana come to us then. We were carried down to the delivery room that Griffin had set up when he got here the week before. Things went fast and we ended up with two sets of fraternal twins that also happened to be two sets of identical twins.
Our children Alyssa, Alexandria, Levi, and Luka. Our babies looked like us, the girls like my husband and the boys like me. We spent some time getting to know our babies and getting to know how to be parents. But soon, it was time for us to head home.
I was glad we were flying on private planes. It would make taking care of the babies that much easier.
The babies had been born on the fourteenth and we were back home on the twenty third. We went straight to our house, which was in the woods not far from Riviana and Joaquin’s estate near the housing development that Joaquin had made.
When we got home, with the helping hands of Griffin and Lana accompanying us, we found that there was a welcome home party for us.
Mom, Dad, Shane, Falena, Riviana and Joaquin with their children, David, Rawlynne, Jackson, Vincent and his family, and Gabriel. Everyone I was close with was there. The moment I walked in through the door my mom ran to my side, happy and angry at the same time.
“SHAWN!” She called out to me. She had clearly wanted a hug but I was holding Luka in my arms at the time. “Shawn?” She said my name again, curiosity in her eyes and voice.
“What’s this?” Dad asked as he joined Mom at my side.
“Well, we have a surprise for you guys.”
“Are these children your?” Mom asked, she was looking at Luka in my arms and Levi in Lana’s arms.
“Yes, yes they are.”
“And these two look like Dietrich.” Dad smiled at Alexandria and Alyssa.
“They’re our children.”
“Did you get surrogates?” Mom asked me as she cooed over the babies. “You got surrogates and made us grandparents.”
“No surrogates mom.” I smiled at her. Since the babies were born I was no longer embarrassed, I was ready to tell my family the truth. I was ready to tell them what really happened.
“I don’t understand.” Dad frowned at me.
“We carried them. Dietrich and I.”
“Wait? Are you telling me you left because you were pregnant?” Shane yelled from across the room. “Are you fucking serious?”
“We both were.” I didn’t feel upset or angry at all when he said this. “It was magic and it allowed us to have our own children.”
“So you had twin boys and Dietrich had twin girls?” Mom asked me, taking this all in stride with a happy smile.
