"Push harder," Eric commands. I glare at him as unbelievable pain shoots through my entire body. He glares right back at me and my anger fumes within me before I raise my hand and slap him hard across the face.
"This is all your fucking fault!" I scream out accusingly just as another wave of pain crashes through me. Godric cautiously approaches the bed, pulling a shocked Eric back as he absently rubs his reddened cheek.
"You're doing just fine, My Love," Godric tells me, smoothing back my sweat coated hair and taking my hand into his. I squeeze down with everything I am, digging my claws into his poor hand as I give one more hard push.
"It's a girl!" calls the goblin doctor, holding up one of my daughters. Eric rushes to her, taking the tiny bundle from her as another wave of pain rocks through me. I push with everything I am, screaming out as Godric holds my hand tightly. "And number two," the doctor calls before I fall to the bed with exhaustion.
Godric kisses my head tenderly before taking the second small bundle from the nurse. Both my husbands approach the bed then, each sitting to either side of me before lowering the little crying bundles down so I can look at our daughters for the very first time. Joyful tears fill my eyes.
"They're beautiful," I whisper, reaching up and running my fingers over their pudgy, pink cheeks.
"Of course; they're perfect, just like their mother," Eric tells me with a grin. I cringe as I see his red cheek.
"Sorry I slapped you," I tell him sheepishly as he chuckles.
"I guess I had it coming, pissing of my Valkyrie wife like that," he says with a wide grin, looking down to the blonde haired babe cradled in his arms. I glance over at Godric who has bloody tears welling in his bright, green eyes. He smiles over at me.
"It is truly a miracle," he says softly as I lean over, kissing him softly.
"Just remember how happy you are right at this moment when I make you help me change dirty diapers," I tell him as he lets out a soft chuckle, laying my daughter across my lap. She has dark hair and I grin, realizing she will look more like Godric than Eric or I with our fair, blonde hair. "What should we name her?" I ask him as he smiles down to her.
"Ashni," he says softly, "It means lightning, My Love," he says as I grin.
"A perfect Valkyrie name, I think," I tell him as she takes my pinky into her tiny hand. "Right, Ashni?" I ask her as Godric smiles down to us. I look up at Eric, seeing him rocking our other daughter in his arms as he looks down to her with a soft smile. "And what about our little blonde angel?" I ask him as he grins.
"Tova," he says with a smirk. "She will be the thunder to Ashni's lightning," he explains as I let out a small giggle.
"Ashni and Tova, the thunder and the lightning, fierce Valkyrie warriors bringing the storm to their enemies," I claim proudly as my husbands grin down at me. A knock sounds at the door then and we look up to see Pam and Eir enter with a very pregnant Amelia shuffling between them. She's due any day now and looks completely miserable. I can totally sympathize.
Amelia holds out her arms to Eric who places our little, blonde Tova in her arms. Amelia coos down to her. "That's Tova," I tell her, seeing her raise a brow. "The thunder," I explain as Eir breaks out into laughter. I grin at her, pointing to the other baby Pam is now awkwardly holding out before her with a confused expression scrawled over face. "And Pam is holding her counterpart, Ashni, the lightning," I tell them.
"Too fucking perfect," Eir says as she attempts to help Pam settle the baby into her arms.
"They're so tiny," Pam says in wonderment as I giggle at her awkward stance and confused face.

This has to be the happiest and proudest moment of my entire life. I don't know why the gods decided to bless us so, but I'm immensely grateful for these two small miracles. I smirk, watching my vampire child holding my biological child with a scrunched up face. Who would have thought I'd ever see this day.
"Careful, Pamela," I tell her before she hands the baby off to Godric once more.
"I don't need drool all over my designer suit," she sneers at us. But I can feel her love and wonderment coming through the bond as she looks back and forth at the babes and can only shake my head at her.
Eir kisses my Pamela's cheek and the two of them share a warm smile that manages to bring a grin to my own face upon seeing my child with her perfect counterpart. I have no doubt the two of them are true mates. Valkyrie rarely invest serious time in any relationship that isn't so and I'm glad to see my child find her soulmate.
Amelia approaches me, holding Tora as she grins up at me. "Her husband should be arriving any time now, Daddy," she tells me with a smirk as I shake my head, groaning loudly.
"Don't remind me," I tell her as the women break out into peals of laughter. They were only just born; I don't need to be reminded that they will one day be taken away by their witch and fae husbands just yet. Godric chuckles from beside Sookie on the bed as he rocks Ashni in his arms.
"I wonder which husband you will pick, Little One," he coos to our daughter as Sookie grins widely. "The magical witch or the powerful Sky Fae," he says as I shake my head.
"Don't encourage them," I tell him as he smirks at me. Somehow, the idea of our daughters being married off one day excites him to no end. I don't understand it; I guess we'll see if he still feels this way in a few years.
"Speak of the devil," Pam purrs as a very pregnant Claudine enters the room with Claude and Niall following behind. The room is certainly filling up quickly and a small smile forms on my face, realizing just how large our family has grown.
"Come on in and meet your future daughter-in-law," Sookie states loudly before she sticks her tongue out at me. I lean down, nipping at her ear and she lets out a squeal of surprise as Godric chuckles beside us.
Niall steps forward then, holding out both his arms and Godric and Amelia each approach the Fey Prince, placing one of the babes into his grasp. He looks down to our daughters with a warm smile as he begins to glow, soon covering the room in a bright, white light. The light diminishes before he places a kiss atop each babes' head.
"What was that?" Sookie asks in awe as her great grandfather looks to her with a smile.
"Just a blessing of the fae," he says with a wink. "Your girls may have been born full Valkyrie, but they each hold the essential spark of the fae as well," he explains as the three of us look to each other in shock.
"You mean our daughters will possess the same light powers as Sookie?" I ask as he nods to us.

I stare in wonderment at our tiny daughters who will not only be fierce Valkyrie warriors, but powerful fae of the royal bloodline as well. Surely, their futures will hold amazing things for both of them. I can understand how their lives could potentially have a significant impact on the Supernatural world as the words of my Maker echo through my mind.
Just as I am thinking over her words, the A.P. herself enters the room, followed by Nix and Reign. I'm glad we have such a large room, because it seems to be filling quickly once Sookie's brother jogs into the room, flustered and glancing around the crowd in confusion.
"Jason!" Sookie calls happily as her brother rushes to her, pulling her into a tight hug.
"I got here as soon as I could," Jason tells her, looking around the room once more in wonderment. His fae grandfather approaches him then, holding out our daughters before him as a crooked grin crosses his face. "Damn, Sook, they're just perfect," he says excitedly as Sookie chuckles lightly.
He takes Ashni into his arms, cooing down to her as the room fills with excited talk and chatter. Sookie leans back against the bed with a contented smile as Eric and I sit to join her, the three of us taking in the joyous scene before us. My Maker approaches then with a warm smile over her aged face.
"You did well," she tells us with a smirk. "I knew you would," she says as the Valkyrie seer joins us, looking up the A.P. with a wide grin. She sticks out her hand expectantly as my Maker sizes up the equally eccentric seer. She then shakes her hand, shaking her head with a smirk as they seem to communicate telepathically between one another.
Sookie smirks up at us as we're all left wondering what on earth these two could possibly be sharing between one another. They both suddenly break into hysterical laughter and the rest of the room quiets as we all stare at the two seers in bewilderment, watching as tears begin to roll down their cheeks in their uproarious laughter.
"Care to share with the rest of the class?" Eir says once their laughter quiets.
"Oh, you three are certainly going to have your hands full," Nix tells us with a smirk as my Maker nods, grinning down to us all. "Especially with that one," she says, pointing to blonde little Tova. "She's going to take after her daddy," she tells us as Eric huffs to leave Sookie and I sharing a giggle at my child's expense.
"Anything I should maybe know about beforehand?" Sookie asks as the two seers continue to snigger together.
"I'd be sure to put up those lightning rods," Nix tells us as I grin, shaking my head. We were already planning to do this.
"Check your fire extinguishers as well," my Maker states as Sookie's mouth drops open in surprise. I squeeze her hand in quiet support as Eric shakes his head, looking overwhelmed.
"Great," Eric says softly, running his hands through his hair as the room erupts with more laughter. Sookie reaches up then, putting her arms around the two of us and pulls us closer to her with a grin.
"We'll be fine," she says as Eric sighs and I place a small kiss to her cheek.
"Of course you will, because Auntie Eir and the rest of their Valkyrie sisters will be sure to dispose of the evidence before the three of you ever even hear about your daughters' many crazy shenanigans," she tells us with a smirk as Reign steps forward.
"Oh hell yes," Reign adds with a grin. "Those girls are gonna learn to party from the very best," she informs us as I shake my head at the wild, Valkyrie sisters before us. I have no doubts they will indeed do just that. Sookie's fae kin approach the bed then and the Valkyrie stand back to let them stand before us.
Niall leans down, placing a kiss to Sookie's forehead. "I never thanked you for helping me destroy the Water Fae faction, Granddaughter. Our realm is as peaceful as I can ever remember it being now that Breandan has fallen from power," he informs us as Sookie smiles up at him.
"I'm glad to hear it," she states. "I would love to bring the girls over to visit Faerie sometime," she says as mine and Eric's fangs both shoot down in unison. She rolls her eyes at us. "We'll be just fine," she tells us as Claude and Claudine snicker together. Sookie sends us waves of calm through the bond and our fangs recede as I feel my fears subsiding once more.
The three fae hug Sookie and then "pop" from the room, promising to visit soon. Amelia hugs Sookie, telling her she'll be bringing by her own son soon before she turns to exit. The rest of our guests follow suit, hugging and congratulating the three of us before making their way to the exit and before long, the room is emptied out, leaving just the three of us looking down to our daughters as they're held in our Sookie's arms.
"I was so worried about what they may be up against," Sookie says as she gazes down to the sleeping babes. "But now I know they will never face any trials alone," she tells us as a happy tear rolls down her cheek.
"We have inherited a rather large family," I concede as Eric chuckles.
"A rather unique and eccentric family," he retorts as we share a small laugh together.
"But they'll always be there for us and for our girls as well," Sookie says as we nod our agreement. We lie there together on the small hospital bed, holding our tiny, Valkyrie-Fae daughters between us with matching smiles. We are a fated triumvirate created for one another by the gods who have now been miraculously blessed with two, warrior daughters. Surely, the future holds great things for our growing family and I certainly can't wait to watch our future unfold.
