My Vampire Twin

Chapter 56 - Second Son

Sapphire's POV

Its been a day since I last heard of Cyrus...

He said that they made it there safely, but he needs to cut all communications since that Shawn said there would be a hybrid that could pick up neural conversations. But since that I haven't received any emergency links from Cyrus, then they might be okay. If they were caught then sending a mind link wouldn't even matter, right?

I was pacing back and forth while lost in my thoughts until I heard a faint knock on the door, followed by the creaking sound it made as it slowly opened and my mate's head popped into view.

"Hey." He smiled as he let himself in.

I smiled back, letting myself cool down from all the panic attack that I made this day. Having both of your kids gone is pretty much a big deal for me. You can't just say "Okay honey! Have fun risking your life for something we don't even know Philip has!" and "Have fun ruling over Thartarus sweetie! Don't forget to write back!"

The gods must hate me!

"Are you busy?" Xander breathed as he pulled me into his chest as he wrapped his strong arms around me, swaying us gently as his attempt to calm me down.

I closed my eyes and wrapped my hands around his waist, inhaling his scent that never failed to put me at ease.

"If you count me being swallowed by the vortex of my thoughts, then yes."

I felt his chest rise up and down, letting me know that he sighed silently, not wanting me to worry about how worried he is about me.

Burying my face on his chest, I sighed. "I'm sorry." I mumbled and looked up, only to see him looking down at me with his ember eyes that I always get lost into. I shook my head and buried my face on his chest so that he wouldn't be able to see the new color that has taken over my face. I'm already married to this wonderful creature and a mother of two of his kids, but I still can't get used to how he makes me feel by just looking at me.

"It's alright baby." He breathed and I felt the weight on the top of my head which indicated that he was resting his chin on it. "You'll hear from him soon..."

I pushed him back slightly and looked up. "But what if something happens to him? Or what if something already happened to her? I don't know what I would do." I cried out and looked down as I tried to fight back my tears from escaping. "I already lost my baby girl, I couldn't handle if I lost them both this time..."

"You won't." Xander said and tilted my head up. "We're in this together, just like how we always were. We'll take this one step at a time."

And there it goes.

My tears came rolling down my cheeks as I failed to keep them back. What did I do to deserve him as I kept losing his kids?

A slight hint of anger and pain flashed in his eyes. "Don't you ever think of that." He growled, pulling me into a passionate kiss which he we hadn't done in a long time, giving me comfort that I needed the most, letting my worries vanish as quickly as they came. He pulled away and lightly kissed my forehead. "Don't you ever doubt yourself. I should be the one thinking what I did to deserve a wonderful mate. You are everything to me. You have given me the most wonderful children that a father could ask for. You gave me the dream that I didn't know I could have. You have to know that you are the greatest mother that I know."

"You know you'll get in trouble if Mel heard you right?" I even managed to smirked.

He breathed and smiled. "I know she's great, but you are too." He leaned in and kissed me once again. "Remember when everyone doubted you that you can't handle giving birth to them so they said that you should give it up? You are a great mother because you fought for them. You never gave up on them. That's why we're in this together... If you never gave up on them, then so will all of us. This is our family, We'll do whatever it takes to make it whole again, alright?"

I smiled and nodded, letting him wrapped his arms around me.

"Mom!"

I jumped out of Xander's arms as I gasped, looking at him as he looked back at me with worry.

"It's Cyrus." I stated which he nodded for me to speak to our son.

"Where the hell are you?! We've been worried sick!"

I heard him chuckled which made me rolled my eyes. "It's a long story Mom. But Shawn was telling the truth, we got the book!"

"Well where are you?! Are you boys alright?!"

I know that I'm panicking too much but what can I do? This is way too much for me to handle.

"Calm down Mom, I want to get home to two of my parents."

I am literally not in the mood for joke right now.

"I'll tell you everything when we get back home Mom, just don't panic, we're perfectly safe aside from the fact that half of Philip's men are on our tails but it's fine Mom!"

My eyes widened at his sarcasm which replaced my worries with anger.

"Cyrus Alexander!!!"

"I got to go Mom, I love you."

"What did he say?" Xander asked and held both or my arms. I know I couldn't tell him that his son is being chased after or else he'll charge on them with an army of his own. This isn't the war that we're supposed to fight, heck we weren't going into war in the first place!

I sighed and shook my head disapprovingly. "Shawn was telling the truth. They're on their way home." I simply said.

His face suddenly lights up to who knows what.

"What got you all excited?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.

Shaking his head, he smiled innocently. "I think I know who my second son would be."
