The rest of Charlie's stay went by well. He spent the last few days after Christmas working upstairs with Matt, enjoying being able to bond with a boy, even if said boy wasn't his son, he still felt like family. It felt nice for Charlie to be able to teach someone something. With Matt, he was able to live the things he always wished to live with Bella, if she hadn't been a girl or if she had been a bit more outdoorsy. He didn't care if Matt wasn't a part of his family by blood, the heart was what mattered. He knew that Bella was looking into their ancestor to see if Matt and her had, maybe, one in common that would explain their bond but to Charlie, things like that didn't matter.
After Charlie left, time flew by quickly between work and everyday life and soon, it was January 15th and it was time for Joe to do the merging with her brother Kai. Of course she was nervous but she knew that she had been well prepared and that she had everything on her side to win this and become the next leader of the Gemini coven.
For the occasion, Joe had drunk some of Kol's blood and most of the Mickealson's were present, along with the Gemini coven of witches. They all wanted to support Joe and, if possible, help her win. Bella had wanted to be present as well since she was indirectly the cause of this fight but they all agreed that she'd be much safer back in her home and so Klaus and Elijah kept her company while everyone else cheered on Joe to win the merge. They didn't want Bella to get hit accidentally, especially by something magical that could be fatal. Carlisle didn't know enough about magic and its effect to know what it would do to the babies.
Safety came first.
When Joe's twin brother Kai was freed from his prison and appeared in the middle of the coven that condemned him to a lonely life so many years ago, he was shocked and surprised and when his sister started the ritual, he smirked, thinking he was going to win, thinking that it was finally his time and that he'd be able to get his revenge on them all.
The fight during them didn't last long, Joe had been well prepared by Kol, she was much stronger that her family had thought her to be and she managed to win the merging ceremony quickly, leaving her twin brother's dead body to drop on the ground, gone for good, killed by the sister he had thought to be weak and that he'd easily win over.
"Congratulations. You're the new leader of your father's coven." Kol and Sage told Joe once it was all over and she had been congratulated by her father, who didn't hide his surprise and his pride.
"Thank you. Don't worry, I didn't forget about our deal. Tomorrow morning, my coven will perform a spell to call Dahlia here, saying we want to make a deal with her. Once she's here, we'll imprison her in a new Prison world, made just for her, just like we discussed. She won't be able to escape, ever." Joe promised them.
"Thank you, we appreciate it." Kol said.
"Know that your coven has made eternal friends with us Mickealson." Finn added.
.
"See, everything is going to be fine. Can we leave now?" Leah asked Jacob.
The two of them had been watching the merging ceremony from afar, checking if everything went according to the Mickealson's plans.
"Not yet, I want to make sure that the crazy aunt is really dealt with." Jacob shook his head and Leah knew that she couldn't possibly make him change his mind.
"Fine, but you need to buy me some food because there's no way I'm eating road kill. I hate it and you know it." Leah snapped and Jacob agreed.
He knew that he wasn't being fair to Leah but he couldn't help it, it was stronger than him. He had to stay and he couldn't let her go back home because he didn't want to risk Sam ordering him back home or warning Bella of his presence.
.
The next morning, Joe used a bit of Bella's blood to call Dahlia to town. She had used her coven to create a new prison world for the old witch and made sure to visit it before sending her there, taking the ascendant out of it so she'd be totally unable to escape it.
They were all assembled in the Mickealson's back yard for the occasion, ready to fight if anything went wrong.
"How do we even know if she'll come today? If she's too far away, it might take her a while to get here." Bella commented as they all stood in the house, watching Kol, Joe and Bonnie doing magic in the yard.
"Joe said that her ancestor's spirit located Dahlia about half an hour from here. She'll get here fast enough." Klaus replied, his eyes not leaving the yard.
"You're still worried though." Bella insisted.
"I'm always worried when it comes to you or the babies, but I trust them to take care of her. The hybrids are just in case she doesn't come alone." Klaus smiled, stopping his watch of the yard long enough to look at her and reassure her.
"You should go sit down back there Bella, we'll warn you when something happens. Staying up like this isn't good for you or the babies." Elijah added.
"I'm fine. I want to be there, just in case." She shook her head.
"Elijah is right Bella, you don't want to deliver early. If you were to go into labor right now, with Carlisle visiting his friend out of town and Dahlia on her way to collect your first born, thinking that it's already here… It wouldn't end well. You should rest." Klaus insisted.
"Come sister, I'll sit with you until Dahlia arrives. Then we'll both join them to watch it all happen." Rebekah intervened, taking Bella by the hand to guide her to the couch.
Bella listened and followed Rebekah, wanting her babies to stay safe in her but it didn't stop her from being worried. It didn't help that she still felt like she was being watched and that Klaus' hybrids couldn't find anyone or anything suspicious.
.
"Who are you and why did you call me here?" A tall and arrogant looking woman with long dark hair demanded to know as soon as she arrived, on the other side of the yard.
"My name is Joe, I'm the new leader of the Gemini coven." Joe replied, trying not to reveal too much.
"I've heard of it, yes. What are you doing with my nephew?" Dahlia asked.
"My brother Klaus got some girl pregnant, she's had his baby and I don't want you to kill us all to get to her, so I asked the Gemini Coven to help me get you here. You take the child and promise to leave us all alone." Kol asked.
"As simple as that? I like it." Dahlia nodded with a happy and confident smile.
"Let's shake on it then." Kol offered and Dahlia walked closer.
"Aunt Dahlia?" Freya asked, stepping out of the woods.
"Stay back Freya and stop arguing! This child is owed to me just like you were and I will take her as my own. Had you not terminated your pregnancy all these years ago, this child would have been fine. Now stay back and don't interrupt me again." Dahlia snapped.
Kol looked up and he knew that his siblings, cloaked inside the house, would react to the name as well but he tried to keep a straight face.
"Freya as in the sister we thought was dead?" Kol asked, trying to make it look as though he had turned his emotions off and didn't care anymore.
"Yes, the very one. Is that a problem?" Dahlia asked him back, shaking his hand as she did.
"Not at all." Kol smirked, revealing the ascendant in his other hand and forcing it on Dahlia while Joe joined hands over theirs and started the spell.
Soon Dahlia had vanished, leaving the ascendant behind and everyone was stepping out of the house, including Bella.
"Freya? Is that really you sister?" Finn asked immediately, ignoring Kol and Joe and rushing to the blond in the back.
"Finnik… What just happened? Is Dahlia really gone? Am I really safe and free?" She asked him, incredulous at the turn of event.
"Yes sister, it is. What happened to you?" He asked her back.
.
When Dahlia arrived, Jacob and Leah were, with no surprise, hidden in a bush, watching everything unfold.
"See, everything will be fine." Leah whispered.
"I'll believe it when I see it." He replied, annoyed at her constant questioning of his decisions.
"Look, the old witch didn't come alone." Leah pointed to their right.
Jacob turned his head to look at the person Leah was showing him and, suddenly, everything stopped. He had thought that he would never imprint and there she was, the woman perfect for him, the one pulling him here.
"Crap, I think I just imprinted on her." He whispered, pointing to Freya.
"That Freya girl? Well, that could explain why you felt the need to come here and to stay here for so long. Should we step out of the bushes?" She asked him.
By then, Dahlia had vanished and Freya was being hugged by her twin brother Finn.
"Not yet. Wait a minute." Jacob replied and they both listened as Freya told them her version of history.
.
"I can't believe that this is all over, that I'm finally free… Thank you so much!" Freya told them all once she was done explaining her story quickly.
"You're welcome sister." Rebekah replied with a smile.
"And now I can have the family I longed for." Freya smiled.
"You're not planning on going after my children, are you?" Klaus asked and a growl could be heard from the bushes.
"Of course not!" Freya replied before they all turned to the bush to see what it was that they had heard.
"You've got to be kidding me, please tell me I didn't just hear that! Everything makes so much sense now, the feeling that I was being watched… everything!" Bella exclaimed angrily, rolling her eyes.
"See Jacob, I told you she'd find you out. Now go out of here and explain yourself so I can finally go home and tell on you." Leah snapped, revealing herself.
"Leah!" Bella exclaimed.
"Bella… I assure you that coming here and spying on you wasn't my idea. I came to bring him back home but he forced me to stay, he was afraid I'd get Sam to alpha order him back home." Leah replied, walking closer to them while Jacob walked by her side.
"Are they the wolves you told us about, from Forks?" Elijah asked Bella, stepping closer to her, claiming her as his to Jacob.
"Yes,." Bella nodded.
"Why is he looking at our sister like that?" Kol asked.
"Oh my God… This is great!" Bella clapped, knowing that it meant Jacob would leave her alone.
Nature has just forced him to move on and she couldn't be happier for him. As if to prove a point, the babies started to kick, as if giving their mother high fives.
"I… I imprinted of her." Jacob whispered, not even greeting Bella since he only seemed to have eyes for Freya.
"What is imprinting?" Freya asked, unable to look away from Jacob.
"Let's go inside and sit down, I'll explain." Bella smiled, seeing that Jacob seemed to shocked to speak and knowing that Leah wasn't the most talkative person.
If Klaus believed Freya when she claimed that she wasn't a threat to his babies, he still sat between Bella and her, meaning that the pregnant woman was now trapped between Elijah and Klaus.
Leah and Jacob followed the family inside and they all sat in the living room. They were about to start talking when the doorbell rang.
"Who can it be at this time?" Rebekah wondered.
"Probably Matt, he said that he'd bring me some food after his shift. He's a bit early." Bella smiled, trying to get up.
"I'll get it." Sage declared while Elijah and Klaus both placed a hand on Bella's knees, preventing her from getting up to open the door herself.
She came back in the room a few seconds later, followed by Tyler.
"Matt had to take a longer shift so he asked me to drop this by for you. He didn't want you to have to wait too long, he knows how much you love this." He explained, giving Bella the bag.
"Thanks."
Tyler was about to leave when his eyes crossed Leah's.
"Oh." Was all Leah managed to say once she realized that she had imprinted on the young man and her once hostile looking face was now soft and tender.
"What… What's going on?" Tyler asked, also unable to explain why he couldn't look away from the young woman he had never seen before.
"Leah, maybe you should head out with him and explain everything, it might go better if the two of you are in private." Bella suggested, her hands protectively over her baby bump while Elijah sorted through her take out bag to give her the burger she craved.
Leah nodded, grabbed Tyler's hand and pulled him out of the house. She couldn't wait to be away from Jacob but she didn't want her new Mate to get into a fight with him over what he put her through during the last few weeks.
Once Leah and Tyler were out of the house, Bella asked Jacob to explain himself and so, feeling incredibly small because of the Mickealson's presence even though he was the tallest of them all, he told them how he initially came here to get Bella back and ended up watching from a distance until a few minutes ago when he imprinted on Freya. Then he explained the basis of imprinting to them and, if Elijah and Klaus weren't too happy about the fact that Jacob has spied on Bella, they understood that Freya changed everything for him.
.
"This is going to take a lot to get used to this new life." Freya declared a few hours later when she found herself alone with Bella.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine." Bella smiled.
"Finn said that talking with you might help me… Would you mind?" Freya asked her shyly.
"Of course not. I did my best to help the rest of the family, I don't see why I shouldn't help you as well."
"But you need to rest. Your pregnancy is reaching its term, isn't it?"
"I'm on the last few weeks, yes but don't worry, Carlisle is making sure that the babies are fine and I'm fine as well, if a little tired."
"Do you know what you'll name them already?"
"I do. I've talked it out with Niklaus and we've agreed on the names and on their godparents. They'll probably share two pairs."
"Share?"
"Yes, I wanted them to have a human pair of godparents and a supernatural pair. Since Klaus and I don't want to take members of the family as godparents, they're already uncles and aunts, we couldn't find two pairs of each we agreed on. So instead we have one pair of human godparents and a pair of supernatural ones. We're giving ourselves a little longer to think about it and when we're both sure, we'll ask the people we've chosen if they agree to it or not. If not we'll have back ups." Bella replied.
"Nice idea." Freya nodded.
"We might still change our mind before they come though, that's why we don't want to say anything to anyone yet. We've already changed our minds 4 times, only one of them has been a solid decision."
"My family seems to gravitate around you… It's nice to see them all so united after spending so long hearing about their feuds." Freya told Bella with a smile.
"You're not jealous, are you? Because I can assure you that you have your spot in this family."
"I know, don't worry. Finn, Rebekah and Elijah assured me of the same thing."
"Don't worry about Klaus, he needs time before he trusts someone but he'll open up to you, just give him time. After a while, when he seems that you don't try to hurt him or his loved ones, he'll stop being on his guards around you." Bella explained.
"Thank you. Can I feel them move?" Freya asked and Bella nodded.
"Of course, that's your niece and nephew in there and they'll need you in their lives to guide them on their use of magic." Bella smiled.
While Freya and Bella were bonding, Jacob was on the phone, explaining everything to his father. Once that was done, he joined Kol and Klaus, who wanted to get to know him better and make sure that he wasn't faking anything.
.
The next day, Leah came by to warn Jacob that she was going to stay here for a while and that it would be best for him to stay away from Tyler. She had called her mother and Sam earlier and told them everything. Both were happy for her and with the promise to come and visit them as soon as Tyler's graduation had passed, she hung up. She finally felt free from the burden that Sam and Emily's happiness was. She had her own Love, her own happiness.
Tyler's mother had been explained everything and she was more than happy to welcome Leah into their home and into her son's life. Already she was treating Leah like the daughter she never had and always wanted.
Surprisingly enough, Tyler was much calmer as well since Leah had imprinted on him, it was like they calmed each other's hot tempers.
.
"Hey Bella, how are you doing?" Elena asked her mother's best friend when she arrived in the Mickealson's home.
"Tired but given the situation that's normal. Carlisle said that he's surprised I held out this long before giving birth." Bella smiled, patting the empty space by her side so that Elena could sit on it.
"He thought you'd deliver early." Elena realized.
"Yes, I might be young and strong but this is my first pregnancy and I'm expecting twins, supernatural twins. Even I am surprised that they're still inside. Every night I dream of them crawling out of me and fetching their own baby bottles." Bella chuckled.
"I think every expectant mother is anxious." Elena smiled.
"I know, Carlisle said so too. It's alright though, I'm never alone for too long. I know that the babies and I are safe so everything is alright." Bella assured.
"Cool, I can't wait to see them too." Elena smiled.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be long now."
"So, do you and Elijah have plans for tomorrow?"
"Valentine's day? No, I asked him not to plan anything. We'll celebrate it next year. This year I'm too tired and stuck in bed to feel sexy. We'll probably just eat dinner and watch a movie together." Bella explained.
"That's cool."
"What about you?"
"Well, now that things are clear for me, I've talked with Stefan and we both agree that there's nothing left but friendship between us. We're fine. I was thinking of going to Damon tomorrow and tell him that I love him, you know, on Valentine's day."
"That's great, but you don't look like you'll be able to wait that long." Bella smiled.
"I'll just wait for midnight." Elena nodded, making Bella chuckle.
"It'll be a nice surprise for him." Bella agreed.
"I know, I've called to tell him that I was spending the evening with you but that I was coming by later to borrow a book and since Stefan will be out, he'll be the only one able to find it for me." Elena explained.
"Isobel would be so proud!" Bella chuckled.
"I'm trying to forget about the fact that she and Damon have an history... Isn't it weird me being in love with someone my mother had sex with?"
"It's complicated but in a world were half of the people you know and love are vampires, witches or werewolves, I think it's not that weird. Plus, He had his emotions turned off and Isobel only used him to get what she wanted. I can assure you that she'd tell you to go for it if you truly love him in your heart."
"You don't think he might break my heart?"
"No, I believe that his love for you his true and that as long as you love him back and give him the benefice of the doubt, he'll be a good man." Bella replied wisely to the young woman in front of her.
.
Valentine's day passed quietly and March arrived, surprising Bella by how much time had passed already. The babies were growing restless but still refused to show their faces, staying warm in their mother's womb. Carlisle checked Bella twice a day and kept on reassuring a very worried Mickealson family that Bella was doing fine.
"It could come any day now, don't worry, they'll come when they're ready." Carlisle promised before she left his office that day.
"I'm not worried, but I can't wait for them to be out already. I feel like I've been pregnant forever." Bella shook her head.
"It's totally understandable. Make sure that they keep on massaging your feet and your back when you start feeling a bit tired though, it helps."
"Oh I know." Bella started to say.
"She's got us on a schedule. We take turn massaging her." Rebekah chuckled.
"Hey, it wasn't my idea! Klaus came up with the schedule idea!" Bella protested.
"We know sister, don't worry." Freya replied.
Freya had quickly taken her place in the Mickealson family and just like Rebekah had done, she had accepted Bella as one of their own.
Once she was out of Carlisle's office, Bella called her father. She did it once a day now because he insisted on getting a day to day report. Though she knew that he was also calling Matt every day to check if she wasn't hiding anything bad to him, just like she knew that he had prepared everything so that, once she had given birth, he would be able to come and visit her.
He had told her that Billy would be coming with him this time, this way he'd be able to see his son and Freya, his future daughter in law.
"So, how are you holding up kiddo?" Charlie asked her and, just like they did every time Bella was on the phone with him, the babies started to kick harder.
"Tired, ready for them to come but fine and happy." She replied.
"Good. That's good." He replied.
"Anything new in Forks?"
"Nothing is ever new in Forks." He chuckled.
They didn't talk for long but it was enough to reassure Charlie that his daughter and his grandchildren were doing alright before he went back to patrolling the quiet streets of Forks.
.
The next few days passed extremely slowly for Bella until, in the middle of the afternoon of March 7th, her water broke. Matt, Elena, Damon, Tyler, Leah, Caroline, Bonne and Stefan were in the Mickealson's home visiting Bella when it happened.
While Klaus and Elijah joined Bella in Carlisle's delivery room, Matt called Charlie so he'd be able to get on his way and everyone else called the other people Bella would want present.
"I'm nervous. I know that I shouldn't be but I am." Elena replied.
"Imagine how Bella must feel." Caroline replied.
"I know…" Elena nodded.
Most of them could hear what was going on inside the room and they told it to everyone else.
"It sounds painful..." Jeremy commented.
"Thank God we'll never have to go through that because we're men!" Tyler exclaimed before being hit over the head by lean, his mother and Caroline.
.
Bella felt like she had been pushing for days when she heard the cries of her first born child. All of the sudden, the time she had spend in pain and pushing didn't matter anymore. Her babies were here.
"It's the girl." Carlisle announced before handing the child to Bella, right after Klaus cut the cord.
"Hope. Hope Isobel Swan Mickealson." Bella said, smiling at her daughter before Esmee took her to clean her up while Bella pushed her son out as well.
Outside the room, Elena was moved that her biological mother, who felt like her real mother more and more as time passed, was included in this child's life. She liked that Bella's daughter was named after her mother.
"A few more pushes Bella, you're almost there." Carlisle encouraged Bella.
"I know, I'm trying." Bella snapped.
"Go on Love, our boy's almost here." Klaus encouraged her.
"You can do it Bella, I know it." Elijah added.
Bella nodded and pushed once more, as hard as she could until she heard her son's cries. Klaus went to cut the cord.
"He's a beautiful boy Bella. Just as healthy as his sister." Carlisle complimented her.
"Henry Charlie Swan Mickealson." Bella named him with a relieved smile.
She had given birth to her babies and everything had gone well. They were healthy and beautiful.
"Well done Bella. They're the most beautiful babies I have ever seen." Klaus told her.
"And you're not partial or anything." She joked.
"You need your rest Bella. I'll clean the babies for you and then I'll get them ready in the outfits you chose earlier." Esmee offered eagerly.
"It's okay, she has Klaus' blood inside her still and she's already healing. A shower and she'll be as good as new. She'll be able to dress her babies up herself." Carlisle commented.
"Elijah will carry you to your room, you do what you need to do and as soon as the babies are ready, I'll bring them to you and we'll carry them down together to introduce them to everyone. Alright?" Klaus asked her, his voice tick with emotion.
He was a father. He had helped create two little lives that depended on him. He was responsible for them and already he loved them more than his own life. He had taken so many lives over the centuries, he had never though that they had been someone's child. He was suddenly seeing the world from a different angle, under a new light. Had the world always been so pretty? Has there always been that many dangers for little children?
Already in Elijah's arms, Bella nodded and let him carry her away for a while, knowing that her babies were fine.
.
Once Esmee was done cleaning the babies, she regretfully placed a child in each of Klaus' arms and he went to join Bella and Elijah upstairs so that they could dress the babies in the clothes they had chosen for their first introduction to their friends and family.
Elijah stood back while Bella and Klaus dressed their children. He didn't want to intrude on their personal moment. He was only their uncle and he didn't want his brother to think that he was trying to take what was his. While the parents were busy, Elijah went downstairs to prepare everyone for the parent's arrival.
"They're so perfect... I'm happy Klaus." Bella whispered as they both cooed at their children.
"So am I. They're the perfect combination of the two of us." Klaus nodded.
"Let's get down to introduce them to their family them." Bella suggested and while she carried her son, Klaus carried his daughter.
Of course, everyone was waiting for them in the living room, drinks and food prepared for a party. As soon as the babies entered the room, everyone started clapping and cheering before, one by one, they came up to the couple to congratulate them and have a look at the newborns babies.
"Where's Carlisle? I thought he'd stay for the party at least... I mean, I know that he can't drink or eat but still..." Bella asked.
"He said he'll be back in a couple of days to check on the babies and on you, he had to take Esmee back to Alaska. He was afraid of what would happen with the babies." Finn explained.
"I thought her bloodlust was under control..." Bella commented with a frown.
"He wasn't worried about the bloodlust, he was worried about her mental health..." Sage informed them.
"She did look a bit torn when she handed me the children." Klaus nodded.
"I hope she'll be fine." Bella said, understanding that her giving birth might bring back upo memories of when Esmee lost her own baby and tried to kill herself.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine." Elijah reassured her.
"I'm so happy for you Bella, your babies are beautiful." Jenna complimented.
"Thank you but don't worry, soon it'll be your turn." Bella smiled.
"Oh, I have time, I'm in no hurry." Jenna waved it off before letting Jeremy congratulate Bella.
Once everyone had seen the babies and had a chance to congratulate the parents personally, it was time to feed them and so Bella went in Klaus's drawing room with Elena and Rebekah to feed her children quietly and away from prying eyes.
Breastfeeding was a new experience for Bella but she knew that it was what was best for her babies.
"Have you called your mother to tell her the good news?" Elena asked Bella.
"No, but dad did it right after Matt called her. Normal people need rest after giving birth so it makes sense that I didn't call her myself. She'll probably call back tomorrow." Bella replied.
"Will she be visiting us then?" Rebekah asked her.
"I doubt it. She thinks that she's too young and pretty to be a grandmother. In her head, if she doesn't see them face to face, they're not real." Bella shook her head.
"Doesn't it hurt you?"
"Not really, I made my peace with my mother and her way of thinking. It'll be fine. I don't need her, I never have." Bella smiled reassuringly while she kept on feeding her babies.
.
By the time Bella was done feeding her babies, Charlie and Billy had arrived. She had been in labor for a few hours and so it had given them plenty of time to get to the private plane that Klaus had reserved for them in Port Angeles. Already, the two elder men had a beer in their hands.
"Congratulations kiddo." Charlie greeted her right after she placed the babies carriers containing the babies on the table so that everyone could see them.
"Dad! I didn't know you were here already! That was fast."
"Klaus had a plane ready for us, it was a pretty fast one. Matt came to pick us up from the airport and here we are." Her father replied, pointing to Billy who nodded her way before going back to his conversation with Freya and Jacob.
Bella was able to spend time with everyone and it was obvious that her babies already had everyone in the room wrapped around their fingers. Even thought she had asked people not to bring gifts because the babies already had everything they could possibly need, everyone had brought over a little something for the two of them.
"Oh, they'll be heart-breakers these two, I can feel it." Bonnie commented, smiling at the baby boy while Jenna held the girl.
"So, since you're all here, Klaus and I would like to formally announce who our children's godparents will be. We thought about it for a long time and wanted them both to have a human and someone supernatural that wasn't family they could count on while growing up. It needed to be people we completely trusted and knew would be great guides for our babies. The main concerned already know who they are and kindly kept it a secret until today." Bella started.
"For Hope, our first born, we decided that Elena would be the perfect godmother and Damon would make a great godfather." Klaus declared.
"It was a great honor, of course we accepted." Elena replied while Damon happily hugged her to his side.
He liked Bella and was glad that they had offered him the opportunity to have a child in his life, even if it's not his. Klaus had personally come to ask him if he'd be interested in being a godfather, guiding the child when necessary. It was an honor and it showed that the Mickealson held him in high regard.
"Now for our precious baby boy, we thought about it a long time and wanted two people that would be able to raise him well and close to his sister shall anything happen to us and our family so we decided on naming Matt and Bonnie his godparents." Bella announced.
Matt knew that this had been Bella's way of making him an official member of her family. He had been more than happy to accept her proposition.
Everyone stayed together in the Mickealson home a long time to celebrate the babies. Klaus and Bella even got to change their first diapers together. By the time the party was over, the humans were drunk and sleeping wherever they could find a spot and the vampires were also dozing off all over the place.
"We make a good team Klaus." Bella told him when they were done putting the babies in bed.
"And we make pretty babies." He smiled.
"I don't think we'll make many more. We're both in a relationship." She warned him.
"I know, don't worry. But if we ever wanted more, there's always insemination." He winked at her before leaving her alone with the babies.
.
The next three months passed quickly and soon, it was the full moon before the senior's graduation, when Bella's friend agreed to come and let Klaus speak with Ansel. Klaus had insisted that his siblings, Bella and the babies be present for the occasion or at least for the beginning of it. All in all it was a pretty emotional night.
"I'm so proud of you my son." Was the first thing Ansel told his son when he saw him.
They talked for the entire night, about different things until the spell didn't work anymore and Ansel had to leave. He assured his son that he was always by his side and that he'd never leave his side, that he'd always watch over him and the babies.
.
When Elena graduated, Bella was present, along with her babies and Elijah, to show her support. She wanted Elena to know that because she had her babies, it didn't mean that she would walk out of her life. They had even kept an empty seat by Bella's side, for Isobel.
.
A few weeks after Elena's graduation, right after Matt left Mystic Fall's to join Charlie in Forks, Joe contacted Bella, telling her that the other side was crumbling down because of some careless people's actions and that she could, if they wanted, use this occasion to bring a few people back, but it couldn't be bad people and it couldn't be too many.
As a surprise, Bella asked Joe to secretly bring back Ansel and Isobel back. Isobel would be a surprise for Elena and Ansel one for Klaus. They had both been very present in her life and had changed her for the best and she wanted to thank them the best way she could.
Of course they were both grateful to be back but Isobel was the one who hugged Bella the longest, talking as fast as she could about everything they hadn't been able to talk about since she died and congratulating Bella on the babies.
So the surprise would be perfect, Bella simply asked Klaus and Elena to meet her at the Grill for lunch.
Of course they were very surprised, and every happier when she told them that it was permanent, that they were back for good.
"So, I'll leave the four of you here to catch up. By the way Klaus, you and your father are babysitting the babies for the rest of the day, I have a date with Elijah tonight and I have to work this afternoon. Love you Hope, Love you Henry." Bella declared before she kissed her babies and left, eager to dress up and have a real date with Elijah.
Life was going well and Bella knew that, at least for now, she had nothing to worry about. She now had a large family that was united, she had a great home, a job she loved, a serious and committed boyfriend, and great friends. To top it all, her best friend was back from the dead and she knew that life would be even greater now.
Her babies were safe and would be fine, they had a great team around them to help them grow up into great people.
THE END
I know this is a rushed end and I'm sorry, I might rework on it later, we'll see.
Thank you for your review and the love you've shown this story so far.
