So after this I'm going to type my story that I mentioned in the last chapter. I will have it out ASAP but I have a short one-shot that is like a prequel to it, that I'm going to post soon. Anyways, enjoy, and please leave a review

Epilogue

A year had passed since Luke and I had finally gotten together, and not long after we'd gotten married. We had decided to get married ten months ago, knowing we wanted to get married anyways, and it was better to do it before things got crazy with the apocalypse. It had been a small wedding, with just my family, and their soulmates. I was glad when it was over, and I could officially call Luke mine. Ash and Mare got married four months after us, and unfortunately, Lucas couldn't make it. He'd had an emergency meeting. He was trying to steer the vampires out of their prejudices, but it wasn't working so well. They were set in their ways. But on the bright side, Luke had officially joined Circle Daybreak, and was Thierry's partner in the organization due to his influence. Shortly, after Luke and I had gotten married, the rest of the soulmate pairs started to follow. Jez and Morgead married a month after Ash and Mare, and then Keller and Galen had a double wedding with Rashel and Quinn a month after that. Poppy and James married two months later, followed two weeks later by another double wedding of Timmy and Blaise, and Thea and Eric. The pattern had continued, and almost all the soulmates were officially wedded, except for Jessica and Peter. But I think he'll pluck up the courage to ask her soon enough. Jez has been bugging him about it non-stop. I hope he does, because I wish her all the happiness, she tried to help me, and without her I probably would have sent Lucas away when he came back.

Lucas and I had gotten our first surprise nine months ago, the day I found out I was pregnant. We hadn't planned it, but it had happened anyways, and we weren't complaining. I had always known that I wanted children, and so had Luke. It was definitely earlier than we had planned, and we were somewhat worried about bringing a child into the world with the apocalypse around the corner, but we knew that it could also be a good thing. The child would give us a stronger reason to fight and win than we would've had before, to create a better world for her. I was due a week today, but I couldn't help the gut feeling I had that today was going to be the day. I turned over in bed, and smiled up at my handsome husband.

"Good morning beautiful," he smiled back, placing one hand on my stomach, and using the other to brush my hair out of my face. We both jumped when we felt the baby kick, and Luke grinned happily. "And how's my little girl?" he cooed,

"We don't know if it's a girl or boy Luke," I laughed,

"Nah, this one's feisty. She kicks a lot, like she's excited to get out and see the world. She's got to be a girl." I shook my head chuckling. Luke insisted that she was a girl, but I thought it was a boy. We hadn't really discussed names; we figured we'd know when we saw our child.

"I kind of wish that he was here," I sighed, rubbing my belly absent-mindedly. Luke nodded in agreement, placing his hands over mine. He leaned down and kissed me sweetly,

"I love you," he whispered. Every morning when we woke up, and every night before we went to bed, he would tell me this. As if he never wanted me to forget it,

"I lov-" my voice cut off as I felt the sheets beneath me dampen, and pain racked my body.

"Rowan!" Luke called, as my grip around his hand tightened.

"Get me to the infirmary," I hissed out through clenched teeth. Luke's eyes widened in fear, but he lifted me easily into his arms and took off to the infirmary.

"Ash!" he called, as we passed my brother's room.

"What?" Ash replied irritably, poking his head around the door. He took one look at us flying down the corridor, and ran back in to wake Mary-Lynnette. We made it to the infirmary, and not long after, Ash and Mare were by my side, with Mark and Jade.

"In and Out Rowan, breathe slowly." I nodded, listening to Mare, taking deep breaths. The nurse rushed over,

"What is happening?"

"I think the baby is coming," I wheezed. The nurse jumped to work, and nodded in agreement with me.

"You aren't very dilated, so it will probably be a few hours yet before the baby is anywhere near. But you will continue to go through the contractions." I groaned in protest as another bout of pain gripped me, and I saw Luke wince, feeling what I felt.

After another four hours, I was still in labour, with a death grip on Luke's hand.
"This is all your fault. You put this inside of me," I growled angrily, I winced in pain, and Luke looked ready to faint,

"Don't worry Luke, it's just the pain talking. She doesn't mean it," Luke nodded uncertainly.

"You need to push miss, I can see the head," the nurse piped in. I nodded and did as she told me, and before I knew it, it was over. The nurse cleaned my baby off and handed the swadled bundle to me. I took one look at my baby and a gasp escaped my throat.

"She looks..."

"Just like.."

"Kestrel..." Mare, Jade and I had all had the same thought pattern.

"You know, I read somewhere, that in special cases a vampire can be reborn, if they die young enough." Ash smiled gently at me, and I turned to look at Luke. He nodded his head, and I turned to the nurse,

"Her name is Kestrel Veronica Blackthorn." Lucas grinned, and held his arms out for her. I consented, when suddenly I felt another bout of pain wash over me. I cried out and the nurse ran back. She bent down and studied me for a moment,

"Did you know you were having twins?" Luke and I shared a look, and I shook my head.

"Well, I hope you're up for round two Mrs. Blackthorn." And so it went again. I clutched Lucas's hand, and not even five minutes later, I was holding my son in my arms. He had baby brown hair, and jade green eyes. He grinned up at me, reaching for a lock of my hair. Lucas and I silently communicated before I spoke aloud.

"His name is Daniel Lucas Blackthorn." The nurse nodded, leaving to fill out the paperwork. Lucas sat down beside me, and I looked over to Mare and Ash, the godparents. I looked Mare's protruding stomach, pleased to know that my children would have a little cousin to run around with soon enough. I curled myself under Luke's arm, and looking around at my family, I felt truly happy. I had everything I could ever want. Now all we had to do was beat the apocalypse. But with all four wild powers on our side, how could we not?
