Chapter nine: The battle part two

"What is it?" Jake asked.

"I need you to keep them occupied while I grab Willow," Eve explained. "If we take her out of the fight, I think the demons will lose their direction."

With a swift series of movements, Eve ensnared several demons with thick vines conjured from the trees. "Jake, go now!" she urged, her arms crossed tightly. "I can't hold them forever. Make it quick."

Jake sprinted towards Willow, but before he could reach her, Eve crumpled to the ground, unconscious. Raven was then seized from behind and swiftly knocked out. Willow, her powers restored, held Raven captive, a cruel smile playing on her lips. "Jake," she called out, her voice laced with menace, "if I were you, I'd stop. Otherwise, Raven dies. Put down your weapon, and we might not hurt her too severely."

Jake dropped most of his weapons but kept a poisoned knife concealed. "I'd also drop that knife," Willow said, her smirk widening, "if you want to see your son and daughter born alive."

"Raven's pregnant," Jake said, his voice strained, "with twins. She never told me. Please let her go. Don't hurt her." He finally relinquished the knife.

Willow put Raven down gently. "I can never be the mother you remember, but I don't want my granddaughter and grandson hurt," Willow said, making sure she didn't hurt Raven. 

Jake ran up to Raven and made sure she was OK. The following week, Raven woke up in her bedroom with Jake on her stomach, listening to the baby's heartbeat.

"I can't wait to be a mother," Raven said, petting Jake. 

Raven thought back to last night. "I will defeat your will and take back my mom that I had before. At first, I didn't get why you turned evil. Then I realized one night I tried a black magic spell you want. I wanted you to show me your power. When I did. I went to bed because of the spell to turn people into whatever you want. I wanted you to show me your strength. When I did the spelling. I went to bed because the spell didn't take effect until the next day. That day you left and met Sara. After a year of going out, she was killed. Then you killed Jake's parents. I will get you back. " Raven said, punching the mirror. 

Jake heard glass breaking and went to the bathroom. "Are you OK? Your hand is swollen and bleeding profusely, baby," Jake asked Raven, looking at her. 

Jake picked up Raven and poured rubbing alcohol on Raven's hand. Raven hissed in pain as the alcohol entered the wound. When it was cleaned, Jake wrapped it in cloth. "I was angry, and I punched a mirror." Raven looked at Jake with puppy dog eyes. 

Jake returned Raven's gaze and kissed her on the cheek. "Be careful with yourself and the twins," Jake said into Raven's ear, making her shiver as heat crept up her cheeks.

Jake smiled at her blush, then licked her neck and kissed it. Then he licked her earlobe and bit it. "Baby, your teasing is making me wet. God, I wish I could have sex. " Raven blushed a bit redder, making Jake smile.
