Lost in the waves of Santa Carla

Chapter Fourteen

The next day I couldn't move from bed, my whole body ached something fierce. It was Paul's 'Day' and he surprised me with his actions. He picked out a bunch of horror movies, popped some popcorn, a few pickles. We layed cuddled up, jumping at the scares "Nightmare on Elm Street" provided us with. "What would you do if Freddy came for you?" Paul tilted his head to the side, "I'd drain him dry." I rolled my eyes at him, reaching my hand out. "Help me? I really need to pee." Paul laughed at me, helping me up. "Seriously though, guy can't get cha in your dreams If he has no blood. Think about it!!" I went to the bathroom, leaving the door open as I talked to Paul. "What's next babe?? Poltergeist or firestarter??" I didn't answer him as I stood up. Getting up one of the baby's gave me a kick, causing me to release my bladder. (Which I thought I already did.) I let out a loud groan, to which Paul rushed in at. "Is it time, are you..." He stiffled a laugh at my wet PJs. I glared at him, "Not funny you ass. You try having four kids use you as a punching bag and see if YOU can hold it!" Tears started to whell in my eyes, when he saw the glossy look I gave him he stopped laughing. "I'm sorry love, here." He said nothing more, just begain to run a bath. He threw in some lavender bubble bath. The water slowly poured in, the scent filling the air. He then turned to me, moving down my pants slowly. He then looked me in the eyes as he took off my top. Leading me to the bath. As Paul got undressed he got in behind me. Pulling me back into his chest as the water filled. I laid back on him, listening to his breathing. "I didn't mean to laugh. You know I love you right Lex?" I smiled up at him, giving him a kiss. "I do and I love you to..but I don't think you thought thus through. I can't reach the faucet." He moved his feet and reached out, turning off the flow of water. "Haha, never underestimate your Paul my love. Now lean forward...." I did as I was told, Paul grabbed the coconut shampoo I was always equipped with. He lathered it gently into my hair. "You are the most gorgeous woman on this entire world, you know that?" I smiled into his words, my body relaxing. "Paul...who where you before you where a lost boy?" I could feel his body stiffen, "I was wondering when you were going to ask. I was a coke head, nothing more nothing less. David and Dwayne found me at a concert. I was passed out behind the stage, I was supposed to be their meal but David stopped. When I asked him why he said it was something in my eyes. So instead he turned me, it's been years but now I only have two drugs." I looked at him in confusion, "Two?" "Yep. You and our kids." I paused to think about it. I haven't seen Paul high since we found out about the kiddos. "Now, gorgeous stop asking questions and let's finish your bath." Paul proceeded to condition my hair, and gave me a massage all while in the calming bath. He got out first to help me, as I stood there drying off he placed his hands under my belly. He gently moved it up and I could barely hold in a moan. "Four kids get supper heavy, huh? I bet your body is exhausted." I nodded to him, unable to form words at the relief I felt. "C'mon love. Poltergeist is waiting." He led me back to the bedroom after helping me get dressed. "I love you paul." "I love you to Lex."
The next day I woke up next to Paul, his arm thrown over his eyes and a bit of drool pooled from his mouth. I kissed him before heading into the kitchen. I had a doctor's appointment today, and David would be returning. I moved around slowly, before deciding on some French toast. I took a bag of AB+ from the fridge stash as well. After making a deal with the local blood bank, we found a easier way to meet or needs. I put on a pot of hot water, letting the bag slowly heat up. I moved to the large picture window we had by the table, watching the waves crash while I enjoyed my meal. I was so engrossed in the view I didn't hear Dwayne come up behind me. I jumped slightly when he wrapped his arms around me. "Shit Dwayne!" He chuckled, looking out on the view with me. Looking at his watch, "You have 15 minutes to get dressed before we head out." I nodded, doing as what was suggested.
We got in the car, having bought one for the safety of my pregnancy. Well on our way to the local vamp doctor. Part of the reason we were told about Ireland was the vampire community that grew here. "Do you think Dr. Gregori will tell us what our little loves are?" Dwayne looked over at the little feet moving in my stomach. "I'm betting 3 boys and a girl." I smirked at him, "Oh ya why's that?" "Just a feeling." I teased him about his senses before asking him the question thats been on my mind. "It was you and David in the beginning, right?" Dwayne glanced at me, "It was. Why?" "Who where you before you where a lost boy?" "I was an Indian Brave. My tribe was the Timucuan. When I met David, we where enemies. I was preparing to skin David, when I went back to my tribs we discovered their where only three people left. A shaman, myself and David." I was a little at a loss for words, "The Shaman was the one who ended our fight. After that, David shared with me his blood. I was transformed. We are here love." Dwayne put the car in park and we went inside. The interior was completely blacked out, no ray of sunshine anywhere. When I first met Dr. Gregori she had informed me it was in the basement of the hospital for her vamp patients.
We were immediately brought back to a room, where Dr.Gregori awaited us. She hooked me up to the sonogram, checking positions. "How many boys and girls doc?" I asked the beautiful blonde in front of me. She wiggled the Sono on my belly, "Can't tell you that, these four won't sit still. You should have called me yesterday though." I looked at her in confusion, "Um...why?" She smiled, "Because Alexis, your in active labor." My face paled, "No...I can't be, it's to early!" She smiled at me and grabbed my hand,"They are bigger than needed, healthy and all doing very well. Call up your husband's, it's time to take these kiddos out."
