::: EPILOGUE :::
It had been four months since the attack on the Edison Group - We had won the fight, all that was left of the Edison Group was a burnt down building and a hard drive of information. Derek found Kit and Aunt Lauren in bad shape down at the cells, he brought them back to camp. Finding his mate Chloe- that's me - on my death bed. My life was almost at its end but thanks to a good friend called Chace, he saved me with his power as a Shaman- Dylan had gotten in contact with the others from the Safe House after we had split up.
The information on the hard drive had files on every supernatural the Edison group had experimented on, captured and watching for future experiments. Samuel made sure that every supernatural was safe and out of harm's way, and they would be checked on every once in awhile. The ones, who had passed away and fought the battle, would have their names marked on stone - A the list of names will be engraved and put up in the garden to remember that day and everyone who there.
As we found out from the hard drive, that Rae had passed away from an experiment. They had tried to boost her power but her body wasn't built for that kind of power and it partially shut down.
My father was also captured by the Edison group and tortured him, they believe he had information on where we were - They gave up a couple of days before he died.
A file on Andrew had indeed proven that he was working with the Edison Group. He was offend money for giving us to the Edison group. Andrews plan didn't work, so he was shot three times in the chest for not succeeding. Olivia was upset about her father's death and selling us out, the fact that she didn't know Andrew much helped with the pain.
The photo of the young girl called Alexandra sitting on Dr. Davidoff's desk was his daughter- She had a power like Liz and in large letters next to her name was one word-FAIL.
Samuel now kept the hard drive in a locked safe that only Tara, Derek, Dylan and he knew the whereabouts- There is secret information on there, which meant if it got into the wrong hands another Edison group could be created or the world of the supernatural could be exposed.
Kit and Aunt Lauren are healthy and moving around. I knew Aunt Lauren was a bit concerned about living with a pack of wolves but after her talk with Samuel she's started to warm up. She was more than shocked to find out about Derek and I- She demanded that Derek go find another mate and of course that didn't fit to well with him. Kit and Aunt Lauren are close friends, i'm not sure if anything is happening between the two, but their happy. Kit seems to help Aunt Lauren with the nightmares she has about the Edison group - They had both gone through the same situations and they understand each other. Kit was the opposite to Aunt Lauren. Simon and Derek were happy to have their dad back. As soon as Kit got out of bed the next morning, he had a demanding Tori on his hands, wanting to know if Kit was really her father. Of course the drama didn't stop there, Simon and Derek walked in on them talking about it. Simon was disturbed that his father and her mother had gotten together. He spent two days avoiding Tori while Tori avoided Kit and Simon like the plague. They finally sat down like adults and sort it out, coming to terms. Derek was surprised but that was as far as it went for him, he was happy he wasn't blood related to her.
As for Derek and Dylan, I found out that Samuel was indeed the father of both boys. He had Dylan before he met his mate- Derek's mother. Samuel was in love with Dylan's mother, she died giving birth to him. Six years later he met Derek's mother, his mate and lover- the woman died before Derek turned two in a hunting accident.
It was like one large happy family, or should I say Pack- depends on who you ask. Samuel had agreed that Kit, Simon, Tori, Aunt Lauren, Chace, Paul, Olivia, Tiffany and I could live here with them and as for Derek and Dylan are already apart of the Pack- we had all reunited.
Tori and Chase are now in a relationship. The first week I had to spend in bed and she wouldn't shut up about Chase- I couldn't run away from her because I was still healing. It was either listen to Tori talk about Chase, or Simon about his new sibling or Derek telling me how stupid I was for going to the Edison building- I'd rather listen to Tori babble on any day.
To Simon's disappointment, Paul and Olivia are a couple- Simon still talks to Olivia but he ignores Paul. Though I think that is about to change because of lately a wolf has caught Simon's attention, dear Emily is going to have a surprise when he asks her out.
Rebecca gave birth two weeks after the attack- You should have seen James, he wasn't allowed in the room while she was giving birth because his nerves were making her nervous so Tara kicked him out. She didn't need any more stress and her husband wasn't helping. He spent the whole time pacing the hallway. Needless to say, Rebecca and her two beautiful boys are healthy. Afterwards James said something about having more children, Rebecca almost threw a cup at his head and told him that he'd have to get his act together because she wasn't giving birth again without him next to her. Let's just say, she was very emotional.
Young Ben hasn't left his parents side since the fight. Tara said he was more worried about her and Luke going to battle then they thought. Being a werewolf, he wouldn't tell anyone how he was feeling, something about pride. Derek said he almost cried of joy when his parents came back to the camp.
Tiffany was upset with Tori and I for not telling her about our plan and taking her but she got over it though Dylan gave me a huge hug saying thank you for not saying anything. He also said something about, not complaining about her sleeping in, because if she hadn't, no doubt she would have been with us.
I talked to Liz and she told me that Rae and my father were with her- She said my mother and father were finally together again and proud of me while Rae and Liz weren't really friends at the Lyle House they were joined at the hip in the afterlife. And If I needed any help or someone to talk to, I could call upon her.
Ever since my run in with the 'Aswang', I've gotten into reading about mythical creatures, which in my case are real creatures. There was so much about the supernatural word I didn't know about. Derek of course knew everything, most the books I've been reading his already read. Sometimes I'd try and beat Derek at his own smartness, somehow he'd always win the quiz or out smart me. But what I didn't know was three weeks after the battle, our world was going to change as we had both slipped up and that proof was on the plain white stick with a smiley face.
We had a beautiful baby girl with my blonde hair and Derek's green eyes. It was a fast pregnancy of almost four months. Yes, normal pregnancies are meant to be nine months but I wasn't having a normal pregnancy, I was having a werewolf's baby. Wolves don't have a long pregnancy and my baby was running on werewolf schedule- My belly grew faster and I was ate more like a wolf than a human. She's a werewolf, just like her father.
Derek's reaction to the pregnancy was quiet.
I walked over to the bathroom door and pulled it open, showing a frustrated Derek sitting on the couch watching me. Walking over to the couch, I sat up with my legs on either side of Derek and gave him a passionate kiss. When the kiss ended, he nuzzled into my neck, kissing me there a few times. "I'm pregnant." I felt him stop kissing my neck, I held my breath waiting for some kind of reaction. His hands moved from thighs to the small bump on my stomach- His head was on my shoulder and I could tell he was calculating the pregnancy. I know it had almost been a month since we had sex and I heard him quietly say- werewolves grow faster than normal babies.
I was now starting to get a bit worried because he hadn't said anything to me. I tried to take deep calm breaths- Breath in, breath out though It didn't stop my heart beat speed up. I suddenly I felt him kiss my shoulder, neck to lips. When we parted a leaned my head back, exposing my neck to him- He kissed my neck while I let out a frustrated sign. "Why didn't you say something before I almost had a heart attack?"
"Thinking." Well he took his time thinking- stupid werewolf.
"And?"
"We're mates and you're having my child, I'm the happiest man alive." He kissed my neck one last time before smiling at me, the smile he only does for me. "I love you." I leaned forward and placed my head on his shoulder as the relief was replaced with a constant flow of happiness.
I always knew that Derek was a thinker but at the moment I could have killed him for not speaking out loud first. Of Course his reaction was better than Aunt Lauren - She had just gotten use to the idea of Derek and I in a relationship, so when she found out about the baby, she fainted and thankfull Tara caught her before she hit her head.
Everyone else reacted well. Tori squealed clapping her hands. Rebecca started going on about the pregnancy while Olivia and Emily argued about a girl or a boy. Tiffany and Dylan gave us a hug with a congratulation. Simon and Kit came over and said congratulations while Samuel and Tara did the same after them. They were happy to have another member of the family- Like Rebecca said we are a big family and it's only going to get bigger.
After all the drama, it was worth it and I wouldnt have chanced any of my decisions- Looking over at my beloved mate, he was sleeping soundly while our baby daughter Rose was awake between Derek and I on our bed. Playing with my fingers, she cooed and giggled at me- Her tiny hands grabbed hold of my shirt and snuggled in closer to me, slowly felling into a peaceful sleep like her father.
AN: This story is finished, hopefully I cleared up the loose ends. I would also like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me while I've been writing - The reviews and faves mean a lot. I think ill do some one-shots or even a couple multiple ones with Chloe, Derek and their baby girl together.
