"I'm sorry, Azlo." Julie holds Azlo tight as he cries at Sarah's grave side. She had died giving birth to his children. "If I had known it would kill her, I wouldn't have given them to her."

"No, don't do that, Julie. She was so happy, you know that she was. She wanted to give me children. She was able to give me four, with your help. I could have turned her, but she refused. She died happy as she held her babies. Thank you for that." Azlo tells Julie before turning his head into her shoulder and cries.

Mary Ann is holding the twins and Andres is holding the hands of the older children. They are looking confused, not understanding why their father and family are all sad. They want their mother.

The other Demarcos go around Azlo and offer him comfort just by being there. None of them ever want to be in his shoes. The thought of losing Julie tears them apart.

After some time they split apart and Michelle makes her way over to Azlo and gives her own comfort to the grieving man. After what she saw Azlo go through at losing Sarah she finally allowed Arthur to turn her. She doesn't want Arthur to suffer the same way.

Azlo holds her briefly, "You were a good friend to Sarah, thank you, Michelle. You helped her in so many ways. I can't thank you enough. I also can't thank you enough, for finally allowing Arthur to turn you. Losing you would have hurt him deeply. It would also have hurt Julie."

"I know. After I saw how losing Sarah hurt you, I couldn't do that to Arthur. I love him too much. I'm sure that if Sarah had known how you'd take it she would have turned." Michelle does her best to comfort the grieving man.

"I'd like to think so, but she never wanted to be one of us."

"Neither did Julie, yet look at how she's taken to this life. But that isn't important right now. Just remember that we are here for you, all of us."

"I know."

"I still can't believe we had all gone into labor at the same time." Michelle says sitting next to Julie a few days later. They are feeding the babies with the help of the nursery maids.

"Crazy wasn't it? Maybe, if I wasn't giving birth I could have saved her." Julie says fighting back her tears. Adam had been with her, Aaron helping with the C-section when Azlo's frantic call came. 

Sarah died giving birth to her husband's sons. His third child that Julie had was a girl. It was the same with all the children. Twin boys and a girl for each father. 

Michelle holds her sons tight. She never thought she could love like she does now. Not just her sons, but all the children Julie had. Not just the children either, her husband. She has grown to care for the other Demarco boys, but only Arthur has her heart.

"It's been hard at times, sharing Arthur with you." Michelle tells Julie. Julie holds her tongue feeling that Michelle isn't finished. "But, it's been worth it. Being a part of this world, it's crazy and insane but never boring. 

"Thank you, Julie for letting me be a part of this life with you."

"Me?" Julie thinks Michelle is off her rocker. "Arthur found you. You are his special one."

"We both know that if you had told Arthur no fifteen years ago, he wouldn't have pursued me and married me."

"Perhaps, but you are the one that decided that you could handle sharing him with me." Julie smirks at her friend.

Michelle looks down and a rosy stain blooms on her cheeks. "About that," Michelle can't look Julie in the eye. "I know Aiden still sleeps with you, Jennifer even encourages it and I know that Azlo will once more be with you on a regular basis. I want you to start being with Arthur again too."

"No, I won't do that to you or him. It hurts him when you are hurting. I don't want to hurt you."

Michelle now looks Julie straight in the eye. "I want you too. He never says anything but he wants you, Julie. I know that he'd sacrifice anything to make me happy, but he's sacrificed enough. I want him happy too.

"Besides, Aiden and Jennifer have been trying to get me to try a threesome for some time." Michelle's words so completely astound Julie that she can't speak.

"It's your turn with Arthur in three days. I think we should go see a play and then perhaps spend the night at the penthouse together?" Michelle offers unsure.

"Michelle, you don't need to do this."

"I know. But I also know that Arthur has been holding back because I haven't been very adventurous in the sex department.

"He doesn't complain and I know that he's satisfied, but I also know that he did things with you and before you, others that he doesn't do with me. I want to try some of these other things as well.

"Aiden told me to ask you about making it a video." Michelle looks a bit confused.

"That ass. The first time we were sexual Aiden and Arthur made a sex video of us without my consent. Adam and Aaron about killed them both. They were warned to never make one without my express consent again. They haven't dared yet."

"If I can't go through with the threesome, can I watch you and Arthur?" Michelle asks biting her lip.

"Michelle, I think when you turned something in you changed." Julie looks at Michelle searchingly for some time. "I don't mind. Jennifer found it a real turn on when she watched Aiden with me. She needs more to do, I think I'll have her watch me with him again. I'm willing to bet she'll be preggers afterwards."

Michelle snickers at Julie. "Well that would make Aiden happy. He wants more children than Adam."

Julie rolls her eyes, "Men. You think they did all the work. It's all a game to them." Michelle laughs at Julie's words, but agrees with them. But for once she's also at peace. She can't imagine life any different than it is now.

Alex holds Julie close. He loves it when it's his day and Julie doesn't want to do anything special. Today they are spending it at the waterfall. Julie stretches languidly. "That was truly lovely Alex." Alex doesn't let her speak more and presses back down and covers her.

"I can't seem to get enough of you Julie." Alex tells her when they get finished this time.

Julie chuckles, "Well, you'll need to carry me to the horses now. You absolutely wore me out."

Alex smirks, "Drink, that might help."

Alex stops smirking as Julie drinks from him. He double checks. He's still new at healing but he could've sworn he felt life. He'll have Adam or Aaron check her when they get back. 

Julie finishes eating and gets dressed. Alex carries her to the horses and mounts behind her. He'll lead her horse back.

Adam checks Julie and steps away from her in amazement. "Love," Adam makes sure that she's facing him and listening.

"Yes,  Adam?" Julie is still putting only half her attention on her husband. The rest is on the child she's playing with.

"You're pregnant." Adam's words gain her full attention.

"Not possible. I was told I wouldn't get pregnant again and I even gave my eggs away." Michelle is already pregnant with Arthur's children. They had a very good night after the play.

"Well, you are and I checked, you have eggs again."

"I don't believe this."

Azlo comes in, "You don't believe what?"

"I'm pregnant again."

Azlo smiles a rather predatory smile. "Really?" He goes to her and starts caressing her neck.

Adam calls for a maid to take the baby back to the nursery. By the time the baby was gone Azlo was starting to undress Julie.

Never one to be backwards Adam helps him as he kisses her.

Between the two Julie isn't able to even think. 

She loves her boys.
