Gemini Milli

"I don't care how big and terrifying he is! We'll get him for you!" Ronny says agreeing, I smile and hug Ronny tightly.

"It's okay guys, as long as I have my best friends with me then that's all the support that I'll need" I say as Beth hugs me tightly, she smiles as she tells me about the jersey that I found back at the ice rink.

"I pinned it up for you, it's next to a photo of us three with Conner standing out the front, I figured that if we where to move and some other bunch of kids find it then they can see the photo" she says to me, I smile and tear up.

"I don't know why I'm crying but thank you so much Beth" I say to her she smiles and kisses my cheek.

"Anything for my best friend who's going to be a mum of a werewolf" she says to me, I laugh as we all watch a movie that was playing on the TV.

"This is a really shit TV show" I say to them, they smile and laugh.

"Yeah I mean their depiction of werewolves is so wrong!" Ronny says in annoyance, Beth and I just laugh as we continue to watch the movie, soon it finishes and Beth leaves to go home, Ronny and Kelly go out for grocery shopping as I get up from the couch, I jump almost wetting myself when the front door slams open, a very pissed off Conner standing there, his fangs out as he looks at me he storms over to me and hugs me tightly his eyes burning red.

"How fucking dare he," he says to me as I tear up, he cups my head and kisses my forehead.

"I'll kill him, I swear to god I'll fucking rip that bitch apart!" he shouts as his body is shacking with anger, I try to calm him down but he just got angrier.

"No! He doesn't want you because you where raped and he blames you for it! He's an absolute poor excuse for a king! A real mate wouldn't care about being human! They'd love them no matter what!" he says as he roars punching a hole in the wall, I gasp and grab his fist, blood oozing out of his as he brushes me off.

"You've got to stop being so nice to people! Quit justifying his actions! He doesn't want you because you're human! I'd kill to have a mate like you! Ugh! I'm going out for a run," he says to me as he leaves me to the words he let out, he takes his shirt off and shifts running off into the forest, I walk outside and pick up his shirt from the ground, claw marks rip in the shirt. I walk back inside and head up the stairs not wanting to deal with anyone for the rest of the day, I know that I am going to have to face the reality of having this kid soon enough, I know that I am at the end of it, it's only a matter of time.

It's the month of the blood moon, Conner is freaking out since only two hours ago my water just broke, we're in the hospital that I began in with the nice nurse that helped me back then is in here holding my hand as Conner is freaking out back in the waiting room with the others, I scream from the pain as the nurse tells me to keep pushing.

"Come on darling! You're almost there! We can see the top of its head!" she says to me, I scream and then stop when I hear the little screams of my child.

"It's a girl!" she says to me, I'm exhausted from the pain as the blood red moon shines through the window, I widen my eyes, he was born right before the moon. Conner and the others all walk in and cheer when they see her I smile at them weakly from the fact that I'm tired.

"It's truly a miracle" 

"I know, she was born just before the moon"

"There's a legend that wolves follow that's if a pup is born during the red moon they turn into a Lycan" Conner says as he holds her, she giggles making him smile, he's really good with her they all are.

"What'll you call her?"

"I don't know, Gemini?"

"I like the name Milli" Beth says to me as she sits on the end of the bed, I smile and hold her hand.

"How about Gemini Milli?" I say to them, they both smile as we ask for the nurse to come back in.

"Congratulations Gemini Milli," she says to us as we thank her, she holds the baby for just a moment before leaving once more as Conner stays with me when the others all leave, he holds her and smiles making faces at her until we both fall asleep. I wake up to the soft snoring of Conner still sitting beside me holding her, I smile to myself her little face looks a lot like mine when I was a baby from all the photos that I've seen, her little nose is the same shape as mine and her skin is the same shade as Conner's even though he's not her father I can still tell that he loves her like his own kid.
