Nancy Jones- abandoned on Neverland by her father at age 15. Left to fend for herself against Pan and his evil lost boys by her father a once great pirate.
Nancy met another abandoned child on the island and together they escaped. Bealfire and Nan...
"Oh my god care!" Nancy ran past Doctor Wale and around Caroline's bedside to stand by Ric who was grasping the blonde's hand tight in his own.
She was sweaty and exhausted looking, her lips were chapped and her eyes were bloodshot as she screamed in pain from being in labour.
When Nancy looked down at Ric and Caroline's conjoined hands the first thing she noticed was the blackening of her fingers. They looked like they had been burned or had rotted, in fact- they looked desiccated.
"What's going on with her hand?" Nancy asked looking at Wale who shrugged, "I have no idea- I'm a doctor not an expert on the supernatural."
"You're literally Dr Frankenstein." Nancy yelled at him but he once again shrugged. "Syphons." Bonnie mumbled suddenly from the corner. "They're siphoning the vampire magic in Caroline's blood." She then realised and they all gave varying degrees of worried looks.
"Someone's gonna have to help her through- give her energy until the babies are born." The witch told them all and they all seemed to slowly realise what she meant. "I'll do it." Nancy immediately volunteered.
Stefan went to go speak over her at the same time and the two locked eyes over the bed.
But before either could yell at the other Caroline sat up screaming once again. "Ahhhhh! They're coming!" She yelled grasping the two nearest things.
Nancy and Stefan's shoulders.
For support.
"She's about to deliver, we have to get her prepped.....we need some space." Wake said pointing at Caroline as Stefan and Nancy both began to wince in pain.
An odd feelings filled both of their lower abdomens. A ripping, burning sensation.
It grew and grew in intensity until Nancy- first- cried out in pain. "Ah!" She yelled out suddenly clutching her stomach in pain. "Nance?" Bonnie asked but the girl was unable to answer as Stefan too began to keel over in pain.
"What's happening to them?" Emma gasped being the fist to notice the blood seeping out of both the vampires' tops.
They looked like they had been shot.
Damon, who'd been sulking in the hall suddenly appeared in the doorway and upon seeing his brother and complicated ex-girlfriend in such a state instantly froze.
He'd witnessed this once before.
And he never wished to see it again.
He ran forward, him and Tyler (who'd been leaning on the wall behind Ric), now tarring Stefan from Caroline's grip allowing his wound to slowly heal while Nancy became paler and paler, swaying on her feet while Caroline's own hand slowly started to return to colour and Bonnie began to chant in Latin some kind of syphoning spell to protect the two women.
But the babies were strong.
Wale called for a nurse that ushered the others all from the room while Ric helped steady Nancy and Killian gave the ex-vampire a worried nod. "Send her out when it gets too much?"
"Yes captain." Ric nodded before he watched Damon drag Stefan from the room and the others all file out behind.
-.-.-.-
Caroline was in a painful labour that lasted about half an hour before the first baby was born. She was named Josette for her mother. Then about five minutes later Elizabeth entered the world. Named for her surrogate mother's mother.
Alaric was beaming. Holding his daughters in his left and right arms as he perched on the blue hospital chair.
Nancy was hunched over on the sofa catching her breath as her blood soaked shirt lay balled up in a bag beside her and she had put on Ric's discarded hoodie over her bralette.
"They're gorgeous Ric." The vampire complimented watching the father in awe as Caroline lay motionless and sleeping on the bed, utterly exhausted.
An IV drip had been put into her arm with fresh blood to replenish her exhausted body while Nancy had taken a bag herself and sat guzzling the contents.
"Thank you Nancy......you really saved us there." Ric was beaming at the woman who simply shook her head. "No, Caroline did- I just helped her out."
"Think she wants to hold them?" He asked and she shrugged. "Best to wait till she wakes up- she needs rest." Nancy said and he nodded.
"Would you like to?" He then asked and she shot her head up from cleaning her bloody hands to look at him. "What?"
"Hold the babies?......after all, you're they're godmother." He said and she instantly smiled. "You mean that?"
"More then anything." He replied and she smiled. "Well hand one over then." "Here." He gently moved so the baby in his right arm was extended for her to take into her arms. She cleaned off the rest of the blood and quickly sanitised her hand before she took the infant and gently coddled it to her chest.

She's never felt such nervousness until she held the fragile little bundle nestled in her arms. The baby girl was light as a feather and warm in her cozy little blanket and hat.
Ric watched as Nancy's eyes watered slightly and a glazed look came over her face.
She realised something she hadn't ever thought of before.
She'd never held a baby before.
Nancy Jones had never wanted to be a mother. But in that moment, holding that child so close to her heart beat her heart broke.
She'd never have this.
-.-.-.-.-
"Oh my goodness." Snow was the first to see the new father and godmother exiting the hospital room holding the twins in their arms. "Ric!" Elena exclaimed in amazement as she and Jeremy neared their father-figure. "Oh Ric they're gorgeous." Bonnie smiled patting his back.
"You did good man." Tyler nodded. "Congrats mate." Killian said patting the man's shoulder and hugging his daughter gently so as not to disturb the baby. "They're gonna be a handful."
"He's got help." They all heard a voice and turned to see Caroline stumbling out of her hospital room, in her blue gown, holding onto her IV stand. "Care! You should be in bed!" Elena worried and the vampire shrugged her off.
"I wanna meet the babies." "Well here." Bonnie helped her sit down while Ric nodded at Nancy to pass Caroline the sleeping baby she had been holding.
"That one is Josette.....Josette Nancy Saltzman." Ric told them all and Nancy's eyes welled even more. "Oh my god Ric." She gasped and he chuckled gently. "and this one.....is Elizabeth Caroline." He said and Caroline's smile was unmaskable.
"You guys did good- they're perfect." Emma told Ric who nodded in thanks. "Thank you.....for letting us give them a new home." He said and all of the storybrooke residents smiled back.
"You're more then welcome......you guys are family now." Snow said and Emma nodded along.
Killian hugged Nancy to his side and kissed her head before she looked over his shoulder and past Enzo, Matt, Jeremy and Tyler and out the little door window to the waiting room where she saw the two Salvatore brothers talking in what looked to be very tense circumstances.
"Shit." She mumbled before she looked back to the group.
Happy moment aside. Now it was time for damage control.
