Blayne POV
We started to head back with Lily. I felt sad for her to leave Calvin behind because he wouldn't be around to see his daughter being born. I knew Dace was feeling something as well because having Lily lay on his back he can feel what she's going through.
"Little one is sad and hurt. We should go back and get her mate." He told me in the link. "Let's get her to the hoard and later we will talk about getting her mate. It's going to be dangerous with him being around you know that right? Don't forget what Dylan tried to do to us." I reminded him.
I could feel him smile as he imagined what took place. Dylan just gave birth to Wyatt and she didn't want anyone near. I tried to come near and she about bit my hand off. I still didn't back down. I was determined to touch my baby boy. Then Dace came up with an idea of half shifting and showing his submissive side to her. That was when she finally let us touch our baby, he was a day or two old when that happened.
We got back to the hoard and once we landed Elder Blue helped Lily down off me. So that I could shift back to myself. "Where would you like us to take her?" I asked Elder Blue. "She should be alright in her room right now. I can get the delivery room ready for her." Ashton, Dylan, Eva, and I all helped take Lily inside her room.
Lily looked worried and I asked Dylan and Eva to talk to her, while I took Ashton away. "What's the matter Blayne?" Ashton asked when we got out of the room. "I feel guilty that Calvin cannot be here for the birth of his daughter. I feel like Lily is more worried about being away from him than having a dragon baby." I expressed.
"I saw her face and she did look a little worried right when we got here. So what are you going to do?" "I shouldn't do this but I have to leave. Please keep me updated on her status as I will be back as soon as I can. Ashton just nodded his head yes.
Lily POV
When I got told that I was having a dragon, Amber was extremely happy. But when I got told that I would have to go back to the hoard without Calvin and give birth to our girl without him. Both Kira and Amber were disappointed that we were leaving without him.
But I ended up coming with them. Once we got there the reality hit me and I was hit with a lot of sadness and worry. I got to my room and Blayne and Ashton left. Dylan and Eva were talking to me about giving birth. "If you just let Amber take control it shouldn't be that hard. She should be able to hand the pain for you but if you keep fighting with her during birth it will cause compilations." Eva was saying.
"Once you have the child Amber is going to want to hold it and won't let anyone near for a while. Elder Blue won't be able to check the child to make sure that they are ok until about a few days after. That is when you have to make sure that you check the baby once you have her in your arms." Dylan explained. I was still worried about what was going to happen. All the travel and everything got me tired so I said, "I think that I'm going to take a nap." Then I laid down and fell asleep.
Blayne POV
I quickly left the hoard and went back to find Calvin. I got back to his pack land and I went to look for him. I found the twin playing with Dom and Dem. "Where is Calvin?" I asked. They turned and looked at me and Dom said, "I don't know. We got a call to come watch the twins because he and Lily left. I'm guessing is at your realm and that Calvin must have ran away somewhere." I shook my head yes.
"Check with Liam, he should be in the pack house." Dem said. I turned around and went inside the pack house. I found a wolf and asked, "Where is Liam at?" "In the alphas office" I went up to the office and knocked on the door. Liam answered and said, "Thank goodness you're here, maybe you could help Calvin out. He is so depressed that he ran away and went to the lake right after you took off with Lily."
"That is why I'm here is to take him to her. After we left I felt guilty about not taking him." I left and quickly went to the lake.
I saw Calvin laying in his wolf form by the water. "Laying around wishing your mate was here is not helping take care of your twins you know." I mentioned. He got up and looked at me and then he shifted back to human form. "Did she already have the baby?" "No Dace and I wanted to give her a gift before the baby is born, but we thought about getting your permission first."
"Why do you need my permission?" "Well because that gift is her mate being by her side when she gives birth." "Wait, I thought you said I couldn't because she would try to kill me." He was confused. "Truly we are risking a lot if you come with me, but I will take that chance to see her happy. So would you like to come with me back to the hoard?" I asked.
"Yes, I would love to come. Thank you so much when are we leaving?" "Shortly after you go back and tell her brother's to watch the twins while you are gone. Make it quick I will be in the take off field waiting. Also note you will not be able to really communicate with me while I'm in my dragon form, you can talk but I won't be able to answer understand." "Yes''
"Blayne, you better come back now she only has a little bit she is starting contracts now." Ashton said in the link. "On my way." I said back. "Calvin hurry we need to leave now!" I yelled. I quickly got to the takeoff field and shifted to Dace. "Ok Dace please hurry back to the hoard once Calvin gets here." I linked him. "I got it." He replied back. Calvin hurried back and bowed his head and Dace quickly let him get on and we left. Once we were in the air I felt something happen. "Please Lily don't go into labor before we get their I want to help you through the pain. Please wait baby." Calvin was saying to himself.
"Calvin can you hear me?" I asked through the link. "Wow I can hear you how can you do that?" He questioned in is mind. Dace was flying faster than normal. "I don't know but it's nice. Lily just started to have her contractions we should be back before she has the baby." He was relieved. "Blayne are you on your way?" Ashton said through the link. "Yes, we are about to the portal, why?" I asked.
"Because we are about ready to transfer into the delivery room." "Dace hurry" I said. "Calvin once we get there we have to hurry. She is getting ready to be transferred to the delivery room. Once they get their it will be hard to get you in. A few tips to know when we get their. One please be patient with Amber. She is the one to determine who touches the baby first. Show that you submit to her. I had to half shift and submit to Dylan's dragon when she gave birth but that was a day or two later. We need you their right after to make sure the baby is healthy. I don't know how she is going to react, understand?" I asked. "Yes got it."
We got back to the hoard and I quickly flew to the delivery room and Calvin jumped off and I quickly shifted right as Lily was getting carried over to the room by Ashton. "Calvin is that you?" She said being happy as ever to see him. He ran up to her and took her from Ashton's arms. "Yes, honey it is me Blayne came and got me to surprise you. He is risking everything for me being here. I will be by your side the whole time just like when you had the twins. No matter what happens if Amber tries to kill me I don't care I will get hurt just to see our baby girl be born." He said.
Which made her cry. We got into the delivery room and Ashton and Eva left. "Is it alright if you and Dylan stay?" Lily looked over at Dylan and myself. "There will be too many bodies inside the delivery room to be able to deliver Lily. They have to stay out." Elder Blue said. Then Lily's eyes turned purple and she growled and said, "They are staying."
Elder Blue shut his mouth and went to the computer to get it ready to monitor Lily's heartbeat. Calvin laid Lily down and she was in alot of pain. Calvin took her hand and held it. "Let your dragon take over Lily." Dylan said while walking over to hold her hand. Lily took a deep breath and let Amber take over. "Usually dragons have their mate and the doctor in the room, that is if they are scared and are known to have complications. Lily was a different story.
Shortly after she let Amber take over she was pushing. That was when things got dangerous. Dylan and myself walked away from her and Calvin stayed near, "You got this Amber. You're doing great honey. She is about to leave." He was encouraging her which was great for him. Then shortly after she had the baby Amber growled and Elder Blue, Dylan and I walked out before things got bad for us. Before the door shut I saw Calvin holding the little girl.
Calvin POV
After Blayne, Dylan, Elder Blue left when Lily had her baby I was holding it. Our little girl was so cute and kind of tiny with a cute little tail. "Can I please see our child?" Amber asked weakly.
"Sure thing honey." I walked closer to her and I saw her eyes switch between purple and blue. "Lily or Amber are you alright?" I asked. "Yes, just tired" she looked at the baby and said, "Our little Crystal." She smiled and passed out. I was still holding Crystal and I went to open the door for Blayne to come back in. "She passed out, is that normal?" I questioned when they walked in. "Let me check because that is not normal." Elder Blue said.
He walked over to the machine and said, "Her vitals are normal. I wonder why she passed out?" He sounded confused. "Kira says she used a lot of energy to stay a little in control when you came. Amber wanted to hurt everyone that was in the room. But Lily didn't want that so she was fighting. That is why you saw her eyes changing colors. She just needs rest, but take care of the baby." Prince said in my mind. "Prince said she needs rest. But she will be ok." "We can move her back into her room and then I can check up on the baby." Elder blue said. I handed Blayne Crystal and I picked Lily up. "She's so small. What's her name?" Blayne said.
"Crystal" we headed to her room, I was surprised the Crystal didn't cry. "She's going to be a good baby. She's so quiet I'm jealous I wish Wyatt was like that." Dylan said. I laid Lily down and walked over to where Blayne and Dylan sat down. Then Elder Blue walked in. "May I check the baby?" "Sure," Blayne said, handing Crystal over. He checked her over and gave her to me. "She's healthy in a few days. You should be able to take her home." He said and left.
"Calvin, you must be tired. Why don't you lay down and we'll watch Crystal?" Dylan said. "No, I'm fine, I will watch Crystal. You two can leave and take a rest. Thank you for everything." Then they left.
Now I was alone with my mate and daughter. I placed Crystal on the bed next to Lily and I shifted to my wolf. "Did Lily have her baby?" Liam asked in the mindlink. "Yes, she was a beautiful girl. They both are sleeping right now." I closed the link and fell asleep. I woke up to Crystal moving. I quickly shifted back to human and pulled her to my lap, then Lily woke up. "She's hungry, I need to feed her." She said, I handed her Crystal and she started to feed her.
A few days went past and both Lily and Crystal got cleared to leave. I also noticed with our little girl her tail disappeared. "That happens when they are born they have a tail then it will go away until they come of age to shift." Elder Blue told us without asking him. So today is our departure. We were getting ready. Lily strapped Crystal to her front and covered her with a lot of blankets to keep her warm for the journey home.
Blayne was ready for us. I hopped on first and Lily got on behind me. We took off and went on our way home. I couldn't wait to see the twins again. It has been almost a week since we last saw them. We got home to see everyone waiting for us. Once we got off Lily said, "thank you Dace." Then he took off. Then I heard "mom and dad your home." from two little boys running towards us.
I quickly grabbed both of them and picked them up. "Who does mommy have?" Lance asked. "Well Lance and Logan you know I was talking about you having a little brother or sister running around that you will have to protect. Well this is your sister, her name is Crystal. You guys are going to have to protect her. Can you guys do that?" Lily asked. "Yes we can do that mommy." The twins said. We were hugged by our family and friends. Then we headed back to the pack house, went inside and relaxed with the twins and Crystal.
