Chapter 10 where is she?!
~Demetri's POV~
As much as we all hated the thought, we had to hunt. It's been a week since we brought our mate to the cottage and her pregnancy has become a little bit stressful. She is craving blood now. I thought she'd throw up, but boy were we wrong. We have to give our blood supply to her since she was feeding for two. Right now, we finally were heading back to refill the supply again, but I stopped first when I noticed the door.
"What's wrong?" Felix asks.
"The door, it's open." I said worried as I flashed inside.
The others come in behind me as we were shocked to see that the place was tossed. I flashed upstairs to see that not only were the babies gone, but so was Raven.
"What's going on?" Jane asks.
"Their gone." I answered as I made the call to the kings.
~time skip - one week~
After a week, the Volturi finally had a shot to find Raven. Jane, Alec, Demetri and Felix were both distraught and pissed when they found their mate and her babies missing. After immediately informing the kings, they left the castle and met up with them.
Demetri used his gift as he was finally able to find Raven's scent. Using his anger to fuel himself, they traveled all across Canada until he located her.
Approaching the location of Raven's scent, the Volturi saw the small cabin hidden in the woods. Not wasting a single second, they burst through the door, startling the captors. They all growled at them, realizing who caused the Volturi this much trouble.
Isabella Swan and Alice Cullen.
Jane quickly flashed and grabbed both Sarah and Ellie from them as Alec used his mist to subdue them. While they were distracted by the mist, Demetri and Felix ripped Alice's head off and use a chloroform cloth to knock Isabella out.
While the elite guard were taking care of them, Jane was relieved that the babies were okay. The kings took the chance to search the house for Raven, but wasn't able to find her in the rooms. Just as they were going to search outside, Marcus found her bond. Following it, Marcus was led to the secret basement. Busting in, he found Raven. Bruised, beaten, almost broken while barely in any clothes, bound in chains on a dirty mattress.
Hearing the noise, Raven shot up and gasped muffled through her gag. But once she saw it was Marcus, Aro and Caius, she let her tears fall for what felt like the millionth time in one week.
Marcus took off his cloak as Aro and Caius freed her from her chains. Wrapping her in the cloak, they walked upstairs to the guard. Feeling Raven's scent grow stronger, the four elite guard all turned their heads to see Raven, unconscious again, is Marcus's arms. They all rushed over and put a hand on a part of her cloak covered body, relieved that she was alright. Or so they thought.
Quickly returning to Volterra, the kings and Preston quickly hasten with Raven's check up so her mates could cuddle with her in her room. As Sarah and Ellie were a little malnourished and semi-traumatized, they were doing much better than Raven.
Two days pass as the elite guard watch over Raven as she slept comfortable in her bed. She has barely moved which worried them all, but Preston assured them that she was alright due to his gift. He made sure that she was comfortable as her wounds healed, but it would be better to properly check her up once she is awake. He told them that they could only pray she woke up soon.
Sarah and Ellie could feel the sadness in the room, no matter when the guard try they can't get them happy until Raven wakes up.
Speaking of babies, Preston also did a check up for Raven's current baby. He or she is perfectly fine, but is still currently growing and in need of blood to be fed.
As the guard were currently distracted by the girls, they failed to notice Raven stirring. That was until Felix exclaimed, feeling something touch his hand. The guard all gasp before flashing to the bed.
"Raven!" They whisper exclaimed as they gently hugged her.
"Oh, I love you four, so much." Raven whimpered before tearing up.
"Love, what's wrong? Are you in pain?" Demetri asks, worried about her and the baby.
"I thought.. I th-thought I'd never get to see you all again. Oh, god!" Raven cries as she covered her face with her hands.
"Angel, it is alright. We promise." Alec says soothing, hoping it'll help calm her down.
"Where... Where are we?" Raven asks.
"Home. We are home." Jane answered, sad. She knew that Raven was now safe, but with what recently happened, she knew without a doubt that Raven would be stuck inside the castle for awhile. Her freedom limited for her own safety.
Not long later, Preston returned and gave an 'a-okay' on her check up. She just needed to ingest more blood due to her not eating for a week.
Felix and Demetri's latest surprise was commencing. They had a new supply storage placed next to the kitty tower. It was a little contraption they managed to build. A storage space, plus a cooler, and lastly a sealed protective space within so the contents wouldn't spoil.
Attached to the device, was a long silicone straw. Raven was surprised indeed. She was handed the straw and was told to drink. When she did, the familiar red desired taste hit her mouth and caused her to suck faster. Scolded, she then slowed down. Laying back down in bed, Raven cuddled with her mates as she was careful of her bandages while enjoying their touch. They vowed to never let this happen again.
~Time Skip~
~Raven's POV~
Sighing in relaxing, I realized that a lot of things has passed since the last time I mentally monologued. Grabbing my robe, I finished my bath then went back to my room. Since my mates were going for a quick bite, I started to write before they come back.
"Dear diary, this week has become one of the hardest of my entire life, even more hard than when I was kidnapped. Preston is making me write in this journal until the nightmares stop. I doubt they will ever stop. Jane, Alec, Demetri and Felix have been very protective since I was brought back to Volterra, and I can't blame them. Sarah and Ellie are finally resting better when I showed them that I was awake. I was so scared that Isabella and Alice would hurt them... but they did. They didn't feed them and they slapped my babies. I tried to save them, but I wasn't strong enough. I will never be strong enough, unless... unless I turn. I don't want to hurt my babies, but I know it will mean a lot to the four of them if I was like them. But, what will happen... if my baby was still in me when I-"
I paused my writing, when I felt a hard kick. Setting the book down on the bed, I walked into the bathroom, hoping that it would calm down once I did my business, but before I even gotten close, I felt something drip down my legs as I yelped.
"Help! Jane, Alec, Felix, Demetri! Where are you?!" I shouted, as I fell to my knees. Without waiting even a second, the four of them flashed next to me.
"What's wrong?" They ask.
"I think — AH! — I think the baby is coming." I whimper as I felt the baby kick harder.
"Guys, go get Preston, now!" Jane ordered.
While they were gone, I was held by Jane. The contractions were really bad. They really hurt, but thankfully I wasn't alone. Preston soon came and told me that I was already at a 10. I wasn't able to be shocked because I felt the need to push.
"Get this baby out of me!" I shouted, gripping Jane's hand.
"It's alright, Raven. You are doing great. Just get ready to push again." Preston replies calmly.
"Ah!" I shouted as I pushed again.
"What do we do, Preston?" I hear Alec ask concerned.
"Just get the stuff on that list I gave you and stay out of my way." I hear Preston answer as I was pushing again.
"You are doing great, Angel. Just keep pushing." Jane whispers.
"I can't, Jane. It hurts." I whimper.
"I know, but you almost got the baby out. Just a few more pushes." Jane encourages.
"Please, make it stop. Please take the pain away! Please!" I exclaimed, while tears ran down my face.
"I know, angel. I promise the pain will go away, but I need you to push." Jane replies as she held me from behind.
"Okay." I whisper as I pushed again.
With just one more push, my ears were filled with the wonderful sounds of crying. A baby crying. I panted, sweaty, as Preston held up a blood covered baby.
"It's a boy." Preston says as he let Alec, Felix and Demetri simultaneously cut the cord. Jane wiped the sweat from my forehead as I started to grow tired. The last thing I heard was someone asking what the name will be.
~Jane's POV~
When I noticed that Raven passed out from exhaustion, I made Alec trade places so I could hold the baby. He was so handsome. He even had some fuzz growing on his head.
"Raven will tell us his name when she wakes up. Preston, please go inform our masters that Raven has delivered her baby." I said/instructed.
With Preston gone, Alec took the courtesy of washing our mate. Moving quickly, he put her in her freshly cleaned pjs before putting her in her bed.
"For someone who just gave birth, she sure is exhausted." Demetri comments as he brushes her hair.
"You cannot even imagine what woman feel while giving birth, so don't even think about making jokes." I replied stern, he raised his hands up in surrender.
"Want help with the bath, sister?" Alec asks.
"Sure." I answer.
With his help, Alec held the baby while I gently washed him.
As we were drying him off, the masters entered and stood next to Raven's bed.
"Ah, is this our newest companion?" Aro asks, making the kings all look in awe at the cute little baby.
"Yes, my king. Raven has given birth to a baby boy." I answered as I let him hold the baby. He wasn't wearing gloves, which made us nervous.
"He thinks we are his family and is grateful when we rescued his mother in the cabin." Aro says, surprising us. "He even protected her a bit by trying not to be hungry for the whole week he felt her afraid when she was kidnapped. He was protecting her."
"That is wonderful, a protective and loving child." Marcus replies as he gazed at the child.
"He is simply adorable." Caius compliments as Aro shared him.
"He is." Alec adds as went to sit next to Raven.
It was just a matter of time before she woke up, but while she slept the kings decided to start designing the prince's nursery.
It soon became morning before Raven began to stir. I took the prince back since it was my turn. As she opened her eyes, she smiled tired as Alec washed her face.
~Raven's POV~
As I opened my eyes, I noticed that the sun was just starting to rise. So, that's really early for me. I slowly stretched and heard a little sneeze. An adorable one.
Focusing my eyes, I saw Jane smiling as she was holding.... MY BABY!
"Is that?" I ask hoarse.
"Yep. You wanna hold your son?" Jane asks back.
"I have a son?" I ask tearing up as Jane placed my baby in my arms. He was so adorable.
"Do you have a name for him, love?" Demetri asks anxiously. I giggle as everyone gathered around me in suspense.
"Everyone, I'd like you to meet Matteo Grayson Volturi." I spoke as I placed a kiss on my babies head.
Jane held Matteo as I gave Sarah and Ellie attention so they weren't feeling neglected. I was honestly at my happiest in my whole life, besides the day that I brought my girls into this life.
The kings told me that they had a surprise waiting for me, and I tried to get them to confess, but they were stubborn. Heidi was excited and wanting to throw a party, since we didn't get to plan a gender reveal party or a shower. I felt really bad that I let myself get kidnapped by my so-called sister and her friends, but they told me that it wasn't my fault.
As the day went by, I was taken cared of by my mates as Matteo clung to my side the entire day. The boys minus Jane were growing envious, even though it made me laugh that they think they could be replaced.
Sneakily giving Matteo to Jane while he slept, I had some cuddle time with the boys to make up for it. The fireplace was lit the entire day since I was still recovering from my winter... experience. I shivered at the mere mention of it, so the kings all decided that it would be kept secret within the walls of the castle. I even couldn't tell the Cullen's or the pack. I hated lying to them, but by not telling them they wouldn't have to worry about me.
Getting a bath in, I felt much cleaner then. Sarah and Ellie were asleep for their nap as Matteo was wide awake. When the girls began to wake up, I heard them mumble.
"And just what are you girls up too?" I coo as I hovered above them.
"..."
"...m.."
"Momma." I froze as they both spoke for the first time.
I let a tear shed as Jane and the boys come back from my closet with fresh and warm clothes for Matteo and the girls. They saw me crying and grew worried.
"What's wrong?!" They ask me.
"The girls... They said 'mommy'." I sobbed excited as Jane held me. they awed and grouped around them with me.
"Can you say it again, baby girls?" I ask as I touched their tummy's.
They 'goo-gooed' at us, until the kings came in.
"I heard crying, so I thought wee'd check in. Everything alright?" Marcus asks.
"My babies, they said mommy." I answered as the tears finally stopped.
"That is adorable." Caius replies.
"I cannot believe we missed it." Aro complained before coming over.
All of us gathered around as I grabbed Matteo. He clung to me again, which was just as adorable. Taking the clothes from Felix, I changed him with Jane's help.
The rest of the day, Heidi visited with party designing questions, the kings checked on my health since I was still recovering from my kidnapping and me giving birth. But there was one question was burning through my mind.
"While all of you are here, there is something I wanted to bring to attention." I said, they turned their heads to face me. I curled up with Matteo on the bed as I took a deep breath.
"I know that my recent kidnapping has caused stress and worry to you all, but there is something that should be questioned." I said.
"Whatever it is, Raven, you will always have us with you. You are not just Jane, Alec, Demetri and Felix's mate, you are family." Marcus replies. I smile.
"Well, what would you say if I wanted... to be turned?" I spoke, my voice shaky as I was worried what they would think of me.
"What brought this on, Angel?" Jane asks curious.
"I just... I just thought you guys would want to be with me forever. I mean, it'd have to be that way since you proposed to me." I answer explaining my thoughts and nearly cried since they haven't even thought about it.
"Oh love..." Felix flashed over and hugged me carefully. "We did once think about you changing for us."
"You did?" I ask.
"Of course. Alec brought it up when we finished discussed your ring. We thought that if we brought it up, it would stress and freak you out. Since changing is kind of painful. We didn't want to put you through that." Felix explained, the others nodded.
"Well, maybe it doesn't have to be." I said, an idea coming to my head.
"What do you mean, Raven?" Caius asks.
"What if I made a wish? I could be immortal without getting bitten?" I ask back.
"I'm afraid that is impossible." Aro said surprising me.
"What do you mean?" Jane asks.
"Before Eleazar left after he informed us of your gift, he also pulled me aside and informed me of the downside of your gift. You cannot wish to be immortal, it would disrupt the flow of your wish-maker gene within you." Aro explained, which made me sad. "But... he did say that when you chose to change, you can make it quicker and less painful." I smiled as well as my mates.
"And with that smile, we can schedule a date for your mates to change you, if you wish?" Marcus replies. I eagerly nodded.
"I want to be with my mates, forever. But there is one thing I want to do with them first." I said.
"Which is?" Caius smirks.
"A wedding." I blush as all four of my mates surrounded me.
"Deal!" They exclaimed as Matteo made a happy sigh. I rocked him to sleep as Aro excitedly thought about the details. I giggled as all three of them argued over who would marry the five of us, but once I calmed them down, I wanted Marcus to walk me down the isle and that left Aro and Caius to officiate. I planned on dress shopping and flower choosing with Jane tomorrow, since I wanted this day to be about my recovery. I decided that we'd go to a closer location for our honeymoon so we'd I.E. me be protected.
Night rolled by faster then I wanted it, but I needed my sleep for shopping. I yawned after a delicious dinner and curled up with Jane and Alec in bed. They happily held me as I fell asleep.
