Elizabeth giggled as she noticed how the children were reacting to Faye. Looking over at Isaac, she shook her head. "Please don't worry about it ok?" She told him. "When the time comes, I will tell him myself and get him to understand. But they are pretty good at keeping quiet with secrets. They are really good about keeping quiet." She assured Isaac. "Bridgette, Emmett, I need both of you to not talk about this with daddy ok? He can't know about this just yet ok?" She said to them. "Ok mommy. Brother, it's a secret ok? Don't tell!" Bridgette kissed her brother's cheek. "O-tay!" He nodded. They should worry more about the daughter more so than the on since he could barely speak. Plus, if they did say anything, it would just be a fantasy that they created so he wouldn't believe that what they were saying was the truth anyway. "What's your name?" The young girl asked.

"I'm Faye, the doggie that you had earlier. That was me but I don't know how to turn into it just yet." She stated. Elizabeth cried out in pain again. "What's wrong mommy?" Elizabeth smiled. "N-nothing sweetheart. Nothing to worry about." She smiled.

[ml1201]

Isaac laughs a bit nervously at how silly he was being, "You're right, you know your children best. Well, I might was well let them in on my secret then. Would you two like to see what I am?" He crouches down so he's more on their level, letting his eyes turn red and pulling up his upper lip so that they can see his fangs. "I'm kind of like Faye but different, you also have to keep this from your daddy, okay? Most people get scared of people like me and Faye easily, so we used to move around to avoid scaring people. But we want a place to call home just like you." This all comes out a bit weird since he's saying while holding the lip up. When Elizabeth cries out in pain again Isaac immediately stands up and rushes over to her.

"I'm going to check on the baby." Gently he places a hand on her belly, trying to since the life energy of the baby in her, listening for the flow of blood being transferred from Elizabeth to the baby girl in her.

[Rozen]

The young boy moved back as Isaac flashes his eyes and fangs. It scared him a lot. "You scared my brother!" The sister pointed out. She was also scared. "Hey, that's just Isaac showing you a different side of him! It's very rude to be scared of himm when Faye is almost just like him, she even has another set of fangs on her bottom teeth and this is how you're going to react to someone who has been very good to us?" Elizabeth scolded her children feeling utterly guilty about their reaction. "We're sorry mamma." They both sang. She gave them a stern look. "I'm not the one you need to apologize to." She stated. The two children turned towards Isaac. "We're sorry Mister Isaac sir." They apologized. They were feeling guilty now. Bridgette opened up his mouth to take a peek a his sharp fangs. Getting entranced, she poked it at the sharp end and sliced her finger, some of her blood trickled down into his mouth as she immediately pulled it back. Tears began to well up in her eyes.

Faye was looking at the children in a daze. She was admiring their color, and not just theirs but everyone's. They all looked so pretty. She loved Isaac's the best, he had such a pretty red color. But she was interrupted when Elizabeth began moaning. "Isaac, she's going into labor." She stated and no sooner after she said that did her water actually broke. "Faye, will you please watch my children? And Isaac, only because you're a doctor, will you assist me?" She asked him. Faye lat them hug their mother before ushering them out of the door. Both grabbed her hand and walked her to the other room where their toys were.

[ml1201]

Hearing the children getting scared of him he inches away from them, he didn't want them to feel like he was going to do anything to them. When Elizabeth, he smiles a bit nervously, "Well, I can't say I didn't expect this reaction, after all most of my kind that I have met would not be like me." Though when they apologize he waves his hand like he's alright with it, letting Bridgette look at his fangs. Isaac doesn't realize what she's doing until she's already started bleeding, which he quickly pulls out some bandaging cloth and wraps her finger with it. He can't help that her blood got into his mouth, but he swallows it anyways, just those few drops giving him more energy. "No more poking, my incisors are very sharp."

Hearing that Elizabeth is going into labor Isaac quickly rolls up his sleeves and grabs a scarf to wrap around his face. He's not concerned about getting the baby sick from germs or anything since vampires can't contract human illnesses, but rather he was trying to avoid the smell of blood as much as possible. Calling forth a humanoid familiar he has them get water boiling to clean up after the baby is born and another to grab him some gloves. While waiting he helps her get comfortable as much as possible, then cleans his hands in the boiling water before putting the sterile gloves on.

"Alright, try to breath as easily as possible, screaming will only make things worse. When I tell you to push, push as hard as you can and then take a break. We'll keep going like that. If the baby is having trouble coming out I'll have to do something else, but we'll worry about that when it happens."

[Rozen]

After taking the children to the room, she smiles at the children. "Look, I have four sharp teeth, I'm worse than Isaac, and my eyes also turn red, especially when I'm hungry. It's just that, I'm a wolf an Isaac isn't. That's why I have these ears and I also have a tail, see?" She tried her best to get her tail out of her dress by cutting a hole with her nails. The children's eyes lit up as they went to touch it and play with her tail. "Wow!" They exclaimed. Faye called forth the bobcat and it appeared in front of them, scaring them a big but they couldn't believe what they witnessed. They petted the cat happily. "Isaac can also do that. He raised me since I was a young girl and even protected me from people who weren't very nice to me. So don't be scared ok?" She patted their head. "Can I become like you?" Bridgette questioned. She frowned and shook her head. "N-no. You don't want to become like me. It may seem fun but it's really really dangerous." She explained to them. Some people would be scared of you and not like you because of what you are." She continued to explain to them.

Elizabeth did as instructed except for the screaming part and was having such a hard time to get the baby to come out. "That bastard, he's not even here for this! He was never here for any of the children's births!" She yelled out in anger. Hr frustration with him was coming out in full force. I don't care if I will be scorned by the public, I will divorce him! None of friends or family ever had a husband like this! I don't care about money, I just want my husband home everyday!" She was talking to no one in particular, just yelling it out to help her anger and frustration push the baby out of her. With all of the pint up emotions that she hid for years, it all just came out in one go. The baby's was just beginning to crown when she took a break. She was becoming weak. "I-I don't know i-if I can push..." She said but the pain from the contractions mad her have no choice since she wanted the pain to go away. She just continued to push as best as she could, somehow finding that little bit of strength to finally deliver the baby.

[ml1201]

Isaac listens in silence, hearing everything she says but concentrating on having them both come out of this alive. As soon as the baby is out he quickly ties the cord, cutting it, and wraps the baby in a clean blanket that one of the familiars hands him, then has the familiar hand the baby to Elizabeth.

"It's a baby girl, I'll ask about the name in a moment, there's just one more thing I need you to do. I need you to push one more time to get the placenta out, then you can rest as long as you want. This shouldn't be nearly as painful, but it will hurt because you will be a little sore." Once he gets the placenta out he puts it in a dish to dispose of along with the dirtied blankets. Taking a soft towel he dips it into the hot water, soaking the water. Once soaked he holds it up to let cool a bit before using it to clean and warm the baby. She has slightly blue hands and feet because of the cord having been wrapped around her while in the womb. Even though she's a bit on the small side because of it she still looks healthy enough to live.

"Let me finish cleaning up and the children can come in to see her, and you can let them know her name. I'll run down and grab the documents to fill out while Faye spends some time with you."

[Rozen]

Elizabeth nodded knowing about the placenta. It was her third child so by her second she knew what to expect. She began laughing as she saw her baby girl. "Oh she's so beautiful!" She said before pushing out the placenta. "I'm really sorry, I made a mess of everything. But thank you for helping me through this. I really appreciate it." She bounced the baby in her arms after Isaac cleaned hr up a bit. "There's no question in my mind on what her name should be. Emi, I think it's perfect and I know Bridgette would love it. "Such a good girl." She kissed her head. "Yes, and I want o nurse her before they come in anyway." Though she could put a blanket or towel over her. She helped the baby latch on though she did have some difficulties but was fine after a while. There were tears streaming down her face as she just stared at the baby. "Do you think she has any brain damage from the cord being wrapped around her neck?" She asked in concern.

[ml1201]

Sighing, Isaac thinks for a moment, honestly not certain, "I honestly cannot say until she's older since children develop at their own speed. So I probably cannot say for certain until she's at least a year old or so. Though she might be slow at catching on to speech, I've read some journals where the babies were perfectly fine having been born with the cord around their necks. Seems that they don't begin breathing completely on their own until the cord has been cut. But this is hard to verify and was noted by a doctor that helps with a lot of child births. So hopefully that will give you some peace of mind since it seems unlikely anything will be wrong with Emi." Bowing to her he disposes of everything with black fire and gives Elizabeth a clean blanket for Emi. "Now, let me inform the children that they can see you and Emi in a few moments." He closes the door so that she can have some privacy then goes into the next room to check on Faye and the children. "Well, you have a baby sister now, just give your mother a few moments to rest before going in. She'll tell you your little sister's name. Faye, I'm going down to my lab to get the papers for the baby, so I'll be back."

When he gets to the lab he grabs the papers, and see the empty envelopes and blank sheets and sighs. He might end up regretting this, but he at least wants to try since Faye gave him another chance, why can't Lucien try to make his wife happy and be home for her? Then he realizes it probably won't mean anything to write a letter, Elizabeth and her children can't read, so Lucien is probably in the same boat. Shaking off his depression he fills out the papers and brings the pen with him for Elizabeth to sign. Since he had already written her name out as the mother he can tell her to try writing what he had for her signature.

[Rozen]

Elizabeth nurses the baby. She contemplated on Isaac's words. She wondered if Lucien would stay home now since there's something wrong with the baby, potentially. Daddy does love us. Yes he does, he just has to work away from us all the time. She was sore but glad that everything went smoothly. After some time had passed, Faye entered as a wolf with the children and a bobcat. And yet she wasn't startled knowing that it wasn't alive. She was too used to this supernatural life. "I have a baby sister now?!" Bridgette exclaimed excitedly as she rushed over with her little brother. "What's her name mommy?" Hr big eyes looked at the baby curiously. "Emi." That brought the biggest smile to her face. "R-really? Her name is rally Emi?!" She asked to make sure. Elizabeth nodded. "Yes. I know how much you miss her so I thought naming your baby sister after her would be fitting don't you think?" She and her husband had already two names picked out, one for a boy and one for a girl, and Emi wan't the choice. But since Lucien was never around anyway, she didn't care if he didn't like it. Maybe if he was around more often she would consider his opinion more. All he was, was just income. Of course she loved him, but bit by bit she was forgetting that love. Even the children really don't know their father.

Fay sniffed the baby and licked it a couple times. As Isaac came back into the room with the papers. Elizabeth blushed as she couldn't read anything. "I-i'n sorry, I-I don't understand what it is that you want me to do. I-I can't read or write." She admitted again thinking he may have forgotten.

[ml1201]

"It's alright, this part here that I've written? I just want you to try imitating what I had done for your name. It's just a record for patients, and normally I'd just have you put a cross mark for your name, but since I'm going to be teaching you all how to read and write I figured you seeing how your name looks would be best. And having you try writing it would probably make you feel better." He offers to hold the baby for her while she signs, kneeling down so that the children and Faye can have a little at the new baby Emi. Isaac can't help but smile, his eyes swirling between red and molten gold. When Elizabeth is finished he hands Emi back to her, then stands by Faye, petting her head affectionately.

Then a thought occurs to him, "Micah has been gone for a while, I hope he'll be home soon. Though he'll probably still be mad at me for letting you do what you did. Anyways, I'm going to head down stairs to clean up the dishes. Elizabeth, tomorrow I'll try to start teaching your children how to read and write, every time I try to though something always comes up.

[Rozen]

Elizabeth did her best, this was the first time she had held a pen, which resembled that of a child learning how to write, she wrapped her hand all around it and tried her bet to copy his writing but one could tell which one was her writing and which one was his. Her face was riddled with embarrassment as she looked at it. "It's not really good. I don't even think you can read it." She told him. It just looked like scribbles to be honest but she did try her best. "I don't really feel better, I feel worse actually. I wish we lived in a society where anyone can become educated no matter how rich or poor. I know there's a handful of women who were able to surpass the social norm and actually hold down a job. I think it's great!" She explained. She thought about her children's future and felt like because they weren't a part of the high class society that they wouldn't be able to have a future.

Faye nuzzled her head into Isaac to show her affection to him. She wagged her tail, she hadn't seen her brother in quite some time, he must be resting up from whatever he was doing. She wished that the two would become friends one day, hopefully soon but that was highly doubtful.

[ml1201]

"Well, it's only for my personal records, so it doesn't really matter. I'll be the only one to see it unless someone with authority in the medical field issues a notice requesting patient information. I'll let you be with your children. Can you two take care of your mother and Emi? The baby may start crying in the middle of the night. And help you're mom during the day too. If you want Bridgette you can help your mother walk around a little to help get her strength back. But now I must get going, I'll make sandwiches for you all to have for tomorrow, I'll keep it in the cold box." Closing the door behind him he makes his way back down to the kitchen, making the sandwiches and putting them away, then cleans up the mess in the kitchen. He's debating on making a coffin like his own for Micah, but is not sure if that's alright with him. Getting out a piece of paper he tries drawing out how he can add on Micah's own room, maybe a hidden room before the lab? But it would be hard to hide it. Maybe another entrance behind one of the cabinets. He's have to anchor it to the wall so that it was just off the floor, but he'd be able to have his own room. Issac would just have to dig out the space and then use mortar to give it a finished look like his room. Though he definitely wouldn't have time to do that today since he'd have to cut through the mortar already up in the lab and everything. The room wouldn't be too big though, there is not much room to work with since things didn't go as he had expected.

[Rozen]

The children nodded and then went over to their mother as they all just watched the new baby. "We will get you back up and going in no time mamma!" She smiled brightly at her mother. "Thank you sweetheart." She kissed her head. "You two only worry about playing and having fun. I will deal with the baby ok?" She told them and smiled.

Faye went to see her brother, leaving Isaac alone for a bit. Micah smiled as he saw his sister. "Hey, you ok? How's you're body?" He asked as he continued to pet her. She nodded her head to let him know she was alright. "Faye, I want us to be brother and sister again...w-without anyone interfering. I just want us to be a family, elsewhere." He told her and then rubbed his head. "I will have to leave town soon or stay hidden in here until we move because I...I did some things I'm not proud of. It's just so hard to take control of the hunger. Turning into a wolf was easier since I didn't need blood to survive. I didn't have that instinct to kill that almost all new werewolves feel. But this is so much worse. How do you handle it?" He questioned. Faye frowned as she walked closer to him and placed her head on his lap to comfort him. Maybe Isaac's blood would help him. She had a problem with controlling herself but it wasn't to the point she would kill someone. Plus, Isaac was always there next to her to prevent her from doing so, especially when she fed off of the one man before. Isaac was the key, maybe it was his blood that kept her in check to where she didn't go on a killing spree. He would definitely need more blood from Isaac. Sh pulled on him to get him up, sighing Micah reluctantly followed her to where she wanted to take him which was to Isaac. He noticed the second he saw the door to the basement. Faye was doing her best to not bump into anything. Before, it seemed like since she was in a hurry that she knew how to navigate the house but now, since it wasn't an emergency, she couldn't tell but her brother stopped her from bumping into anything.

"Isaac, I'm assuming my sister wants m to ask you for help. You can probably smell the people I have killed on me and how many. I can't control myself. You turned me into this and I expect for you to get me to stop." He stated. He didn't like what he had become.

[ml1201]

As Micah entered he could tell that he reeked of human blood, he was just glad that he had at least left the house and wasn't around when Elizabeth gave birth. Flipping the pen around he tips the pen on his table, "It's not a simple 'fix' like stitching a small cut. All vampires start off with that uncontrollable urge. With Faye she was instinctively drawn to my blood, so her craving for my blood overrode her other urges. I'm not so sure if you'll be the same way or not, but its worth a try." Taking his letter opener out of his pocket he slices his palm open and holds his hand out to Micah, hoping that it could help curve the hunger.

"You can also drink animal blood, it will not be as nourishing as human blood, but it should be enough to curb your hunger. Then, since you're also part wolf, you should also be able to eat the animal afterwards as well. So its usually best to go for rabbits, hares and boars when it comes to meals. A vampire's blood is very nourishing, even more so than humans, but we're not drawn to it like we are to humans."

[Rozen]

Micah huffed as he raked back his hair only to release and have it fall into his face as he looked down. He began to sniff the air as the scent of blood hit his nose and as he looked up, he noticed that it was Isaac's blood. For some reason, he knew it would come to this. "I wish you hadn't of turned me. When I first became a wolf, that was easier compared to this. And just so you know, once I gain back control of myself, me and my sister will leave, without you, without those humans, just us two together." He warned. Faye looked up at Isaac and shook her had, she never agreed to that, she couldn't live without Isaac. Her brother should know of all people the importance of a mate. Finally, Micah couldn't take it anymore and he grabbed Isaac's hand and sucked his blood. Faye knew that this was all to help him but the thought of anyone drinking her mate's blood angered her. She wasn't used to that.

"I hate it when anyone drinks Isaac's blood. Man, woman, it doesn't matter. I'm sorry for having such bad thoughts brother." Sh said in her mind not realizing that now because of their bond that Isaac could actually hear her.

Once he was finished, he wiped his mouth and felt disgusted with himself. He wasn't hungry for blood and yet he couldn't help but take Isaac's. He sensed his sister's jealousy and understood why. He petted her head to hopefully make her feel more at ease. "So basically it's like a child hating their vegetables? It's good for them but they don't want it correct?" He questioned and then yawned.

[ml1201]

He didn't comment on what Micah had said because he knew well enough that getting Faye to live his side would probably involve him being killed, but he would rather Micah realize that on his own. Though he is a bit shocked hearing Faye's voice in his head, not having expected that. Though, luckily for him Micah has a bit more control than Faye did in the beginning, probably because he had been a wolf already for a long time. But he still became weak afterwards, but does his best to at least hide it from Micah since he doesn't think he can hide it from Faye.

"Well, either way, I'm going to start making a room for you to stay in for at least the time being. Faye had already asked me to do that, and I'll see about making you a better coffin to sleep in. Vampires don't have to go to ground unless they are severally wounded, and just having something to stop the light coming in is all they need when it comes to sleep. Though what with you being like Faye, you can withstand the sunlight better, so you might be able to just use a normal bed, unless you want a lead you can lift and lower like the one I made for Faye and myself?"
