Chapter 67 My Babies Niklaus fell asleep with his arms wrapped around Raven, his vampire form fully embraced, his wings enveloping her in a protective cuddle. As they both stirred awake, Raven gazed at him with curious eyes, a departure from her previous growls. Kie, David, Abatrose, and Luke arrived with food, delighted to find the pair cuddling, a promising sign of progress. Raven no longer flinched at their presence, recognizing them as providers of sustenance. The group noticed a nest she had created, sparking a whispered debate: could she be pregnant? And if so, who was the father? The possibility hung in the air, as they pondered, Raven's eyes never left Niklaus, her expression soft, almost... tender.Bella had made a full recovery and was discharged from the medical bay, with Oliver also released into her care.

She held her tight in her arms as Oliver ran to them they hugged each other as twins they had always been close. But something unusual happened today, she touched Kie's chest and said "Mine." Kie's mind raced as he wondered, Did she just acknowledge our mate bond? He stood still, unsure of what to do next, but then she took his hand and led him to her nest where Niklaus was, *Just go with it Kieran, she is slowly remembering* Niklaus said with a smile.Kie reached out to her and held her hand. She smiled at him. *I think if we slowly bring...* but Kie interrupted Niklaus, with tears in his eyes.Niklaus stared at him not sure if he could take any more bad news.

Chapter 69 Shes BackDr. Brookes had suggested a radical approach: shocking Raven into remembering her past. After much deliberation, the group agreed to try. That night, while Raven slept, David meticulously recreated their entire island, hoping the familiar surroundings would spark her memory. However, before she drifted off, Luke and Lucas arrived with a special gift - Her ring. As they slipped it onto her finger, Niklaus guided her finger to touch the stone. "Now, call out to, Mom," he encouraged her and she asked "Mom?" very confused.As Raven sat with the ring on her finger, Rose slowly appeared before them. Niklaus explained the situation to Rose, telling her telling her what had happened and that Raven had lost her way and forgotten her true identity. They gently moved Raven's chair closer to Rose, who reached out and kissed her cheek, with tears in her eyes. She placed two fingers on Raven's forehead, speaking in an ancient language that seemed to hold the weight of centurie

Abi, in her beautiful Grass skirt, joined the dancers, and my eyes lit up with love and pride, my heart swelling with joy. To my amazement, the male fire dancers joined in, their fire torches twirling in the air, adding a touch of magic to the night. This was a wonderful mix of our heritage, a blend of cultures and traditions. The fire dance was an ancient Mayan Dance of Niklaus's ancestors, one that told stories of their ancient past, its roots deep in the history of his people. The swirling flames seemed to come alive as if the spirits of his ancestors were dancing with us, their stories and legends unfolding in the flickering light.I watched in awe, my eyes fixed on them, as David's finger intertwined with mine, his touch a welcome warmth to my soul.

I knew in that moment, our little one was going to be a force to be reckoned with, just like her father and mother. Her tiny heartbeat filled us with awe and wonder. We couldn't wait to meet her, hold her in our arms, and watch her grow into the powerful young lady she was destined to be.

They pampered me with gentle massages, nourishing meals, and cozy comforts, preparing me for the arrival of our precious new addition.

Chapter 72 Sleepover and a StrollAfter my baby shower, the twins hosted an epic sleepover, transforming our living room into a gamer's paradise. Their cousins Sarah, Storm, and Eric, joined Oliver, and Abigail all gathered together, each with their high-tech gaming chairs positioned in front of the massive widescreen TV/monitor. The room was aglow with the soft hum of consoles, and the excitement of friendly competition. The air was electric with anticipation as they embarked on an all-night gaming marathon, fueled by snacks, drinks, and their shared passion for adventure.I watched the twins and their cousins with a mix of nostalgia and sorrow in my eyes. This was Karma's favorite pastime to spend with the twins, and her absence felt like a gaping hole in our lives. Niklaus had shared the heartbreaking news with me, and my heart still ached from the loss. I had visited Karma's resting room countless times, sitting in silence, sharing stories, and confiding in her as if she were sti
Chapter 73 Oliver's Drawings Months later...The Island was flourishing, and a sense of pride swelled within me as I saw our home thriving. We had even taken down our shields, a sign of our newfound confidence. Sam had been busy flying his new Shuttle into the mainlands for supplies and food, a task he tackled with enthusiasm. Earth's military had made a secret visit to our Island after asking permission, I was surprised to learn they had been bitter enemies of 'The Order'. Niklaus and I met with them, our minds racing with possibilities. They were amazed at our Technology, their eyes wide with wonder. They welcomed us with open arms, and so, we had become Earth's secret weapon, known only to the Military, but I didn't trust that easily, a hint of skepticism lingering within me, we did not reveal everything that we had."Being on good terms is comforting for a change," Niklaus said, a gentle smile spreading across his face. I nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of relief wash over
