chapter 23

"It had been about two months and today was the day that Lincoln married not only stella but Ronnie Anne. Stacy had adjusted to the school very well. She was the librarian and the girls liked her now. They all took a chance and the all accepted her. One day one of the girls gave Stacy a hug and it was one of the happiest days of her life.

The girls trusted her and learned that not all humans were bad. Lincoln was once human but he was not now. So to the girls that did not count. Stacy on the other hand was full human. Many of the girls now knew they could start to trust humans. They always knew they should but many did not want to.

The girls were really looking forward to the wedding today. It was up to debate as to who was more excited the girls or the ones getting married. The teachers were all really happy. The Hex Girls were performing the music. When asked if they would the answer was something along the lines of don't be stupid we were going to do it anyway. There was also some slapping.

Misty was going to perform the wedding as the new vampire Queen. You see the law was that a vampire had to get permission from the leader if they wish to marry a non vampire. Dracula was the King so stella and Ronnie Anne had to get his permission to marry Lincoln .

The Count was not willing to let either marry Shag'gi. The Count respected and liked Lincoln but Lincoln was a werewolf. The count used werewolf's for his army but he would never allow any vampire to marry one. Misty was furious at that.

She saw the look on stella and Ronnie Anne's face and knew her father had refused it was then that she got mad for the first time in many years. If stella and Ronnie Anne married Lincoln anyway then all three would die once the vows were said. She challenged her father to battle the winner is the new ruler of the vampires and the loser dies.

The three tired to tell her not to do it. However Misty would not hear it. Lincoln was one of her best friends and she would not be who she was without his help. She had seen him smile and be happy the last few years and she was not going to lose it.

Ronnie Anne and stella were perfect mates for her brother and she would not allow him to lose them. The battle between father and daughter was interesting. The Count was old but he was still very powerful and not to be messed with.

However Misty was also strong she trained day and night to not only master her powers but also her fighting skills. Lincoln helped train her and she was deadly in combat. So when the battle came the Count thought he would win.

He was mistaken for his daughter was smarter, faster and stronger. The Count was defeated by his daughter and killed by his daughter. She shed no tears since her father was becoming a monster in the true sense of the word. Her father was killing humans and Misty was working for peace.

She got back to the school that night and told stella and Ronnie Anne that they could marry Lincoln and she would perform the wedding as the new Vampire Queen. She even made the two her advisors. She wanted to make Lincoln one but she figured many other vampires would not like that yet. So he was her unofficial advisor as well as her friend.

Lincoln hugged her and asked her not to do it again. He could live with not marrying but losing his sister he could not live with. stella and Ronnie Anne agreed with that. She had this to say.

"I needed to take over anyway. I want peace amongst humans and monsters and my father made that hard. He was becoming evil and I did not like it. Plus I wanted to see you three happy. I knew I could end my father. You have trained me well brother."

After that Misty took over her role as Vampire Queen. She passed a few new laws one being no longer did vampires have to marry other vampires. If the vampire married a human they had to tell the human the truth about the vampire world and the monster world. She also ordered no more attacks on humans.

For feeding only go after the sick and the criminals or family members or friends that were non vampires no child was to be feed upon ever. If it was discovered that a vampire feed on a child Misty would personally kill the vampire in question. A vampire did do just that two days later and he was ended in a very brutally way. The police had no clue what to do and seasoned veterans were sick for days. The case was declared closed.

stella and Ronnie Anne were prepared for the wedding they had their dress's all set up. Ronnie Anne made her dress she was a seamstress and a very good one at that. She offered to make stella s but stella politely refused. She had the dress already. She was going to wear her moms dress. It had been keep safe in her closet. Ruby was going to wear it when and if she got married.

Lincoln had his tux picked out it belonged to his dad and it was one that he wore when he was married. The wedding party was odd since Lincoln had only one guy friend he was the best man and that was Scrappy. Lincoln 's other best man or friend was Bonnie . and the flower girl was Sarah Lincoln did not find it odd that most of his friends were female. stella 's maid of honor was her daughter Ruby. Ronnie Anne's maid of honor was her daughter Harper.

The day of the wedding had arrived and different emotions were running through different people. Stacy was thrilled to see her baby boy getting married and to two women that meant she could have many grandchildren. stella and Ronnie Anne were no longer freaked out by those words and Stacy asking when they were going to have children.

The first few times the two vampires would blush and blush heavily. Neither of the two vampires minded the idea of having more children just the constant asking of when they would was driving them mad. Misty and the rest of the original five all felt that the two were perfect for Lincoln so they were happy. Even Lillie was happy and she felt no one was worthy. Lillie for example hated Velma and hated her with a passion.

Lillie did do a dance when she discovered Lincoln was no longer dating Velma. She then felt bad that she was happy her brother was hurt. She had explained this to Lincoln and he understood and was glad that he had someone looking after him.

Lincoln was nervous but all guys were nervous on their wedding day. However his nervousness was overshadowed by his joy. stella and Ronnie Anne felt the same way. Ronnie Anne it still felt unreal that her wish was coming true. The fearsome four were looking forward to it. Sarah was nervous but she was glad her mom had been allowed to come. In fact her mom was helping Stacy out in the library. She had been moved since Lincoln felt it was a good idea.

Sarah was glad for she had a question to ask her mom. (Will come later.) The wedding was set and the two brides to be were nervous but happy. Each had the something old for stella it was the dress. For Ronnie Anne it was the necklace she had it was her mothers. It was just a simple bat. The something new Lincoln had gotten both of them a bracelet with the names of their daughters on them.

The something blue well I will not say but you can guess. The something burrowed was given to them by Stacy. She gave each a bracelet that she had made for them to wear on their wedding day. It simply said love conquers all. She had given it to them in the dressing room. Stacy had this to say.

"I wore that when I was married. When Lincoln told me he was marrying you Ronnie Anne I had another one made. Once the wedding is over I want you to give it to your children's spouse when they marry." Both promised they would.

"It is had been a tradition in my family as far back as my family has been around. So I thank you both. You both have been wonderful and I am really happy to welcome you into the family. Take care of him and make sure he does not do anything too stupid." Both hugged there soon to be mother in law and promised.

Ruby and Harper were helping their moms get ready. Ruby still could not believe it that stella was now her mom. Every day and night she told stella . I love you mom and every night and day stella would respond I love you to my daughter. Ruby did to make sure it was not a dream.

Both little girls were looking forward to having a dad. Stacy pulled her granddaughters into a hug. Harper now could accept the hug. She also pulled out two rings. Bonnie had a ring like this one. It was a simple gold ring that had one word inscribed into it. That word was family.

"Girls you are now a part of my family. I want you two to feel welcome. I want you to know you can always count on me. I am nowhere near as powerful as your parents but I can still help." She told them. Both girls hugged their grandmother.

Lincoln was in his dressing room with Scrappy, Bonnie Sarah and Nightshade. Bonnie was surprised by something.

"You are not nervous. I expected you to be running for the hills right now." Bonnie said to her brother.

"Of course I am scared and nervous right now what normal sane person would not be." He took a pause a short one before speaking once more.

"Before you say it I know I am neither normal nor sane." This comment caused everyone to laugh and to break the tension.

"Yes I am nervous very nervous but that is all overshadowed by my happiness and joy. I am getting married to two wonderful women who mean the world to me. I will get two new daughters. What can be better?" Bonnie hugged her brother tightly.

"Don't worry little sis I will still spend time with you. I love you Bonnie and for a long time it was us two against the world. We have a strong bond and nothing will break that. That was why I started to date Velma. She understood our bond and accepted it. No one else beside stella and Ronnie Anne understood. I knew when I dated that I needed to find someone that understood our bond."

Bonnie felt much better she had heard form stella and Ronnie Anne that she would not lose her brother but she was still worried and it was good to hear it from him. It was one think to hear from her future sister in laws but hearing it from her brother made it more true. Lincoln went out to wait at the altar.

Misty was waiting for her friend and bother. Misty was now the Vampire Queen but that had not gone to her head and it never would. She was always down to Earth. She was really happy right now seeing her brother getting married. She would admit that when Ruby pitched her plan she loved it.

She agreed with the little girl 100 percent that Lincoln and stella needed love but she was unsure if they would be good for each other. The reason was Misty could feel the connection between Lincoln and Ronnie Anne. However after meeting stella she could feel it too. So Misty knew that her brother had two possible mates.

After speaking with the others she and they had decided to set him up with both. It took some work but it was easier than they thought.

"You do not seem nervous brother. I am shocked." Misty said softly.

"O believe me I am very nervous but it is overshadowed by my joy and I can't wait." Lincoln said which caused Misty to smile. Nightshade was happy she was going to have two moms in her life. She never thought she would have parents or a family again. Afterwards they hear the music of here come the bride. It was the only thing that Lincoln insisted upon everything else he went along with. stella and Ronnie Anne did not care too much so it was an easy thing to agree to.

Lincoln looked around and saw the most amazing sight in the world stella and Ronnie Anne in their wedding dress's. stella was full length and had straps it was not fancy just a plan white dress that fit her very nicely. Ronnie Anne was the same length but strapless and also not very fancy just a simple white dress and it fit her very nicely as well.

Lincoln was stunned very stunned.

"You Ronnie Anne want to close your mouth daddy." Nightshade said to her father which caused him to laugh and the same for Scrappy since he understood Nightshade. Misty also understood the canine language since her best friend was a werewolf.

"She is right I know they are drop dead beautiful but starting opened mouth is not right." Lincoln laughed. stella and Ronnie Anne got to the end of the aisle. Ruby was holding stella 's hand and Harper was holding Ronnie Anne's hand.

"Who gives this man away to these two women?" Misty asked. Stacy and Bonnie stepped up.

"I Stacy his mother do give away my son." Stacy said.

"I Bonnie his sister do give away my brother." Bonnie said. Now to be truthful Misty did not need to ask that but she wanted to and since she was marrying the three she could do it. It was a perk of being queen she could do what she liked.She looked at stella and Ronnie Anne.

"Who gives these women away to this man?" The Vampire Queen asked.

"I Ruby the former sister now daughter of stella give away my former sister now mom to this man." Ruby said.

"I Harper the daughter of Ronnie Anne do give away my mom to this man." Harper said. Ruby placed stella 's hand into Lincoln 's and Harper followed suit with her own mother. Misty then gave the speech about love and the power it holds.

"Now it is time for the saying of the vows Lincoln you go first." Misty said.

Lincoln was in the middle and on either side was stella and Ronnie Anne. He got in front of both and started to speak.

"I was lost and confused for awhile in my life. I had no clue what love really was and I was useless or at least I felt that way. I never and I mean never and I will say it again never thought I would find love with anyone. To find it with not one but two amazing women is the best thing to have every happened."

He took a pause everyone knew he was not done. Stacy was having a very hard time not crying. She was able to do it for now.

"stella you helped me see that life was worth living you showed me not to give up. Ronnie Anne you showed me that I should not hold on to the past too much. Overall I love both of you. I promise never to betray you. I promise to always put you and our family first." Lincoln had ended his vows.

stella and Ronnie Anne were having a hard time not crying. Stacy somehow was able to win the fight and not cry. She was unsure how she did that. Misty then announced that it was time for stella s vows.

"Lincoln when we meet I was happy but felt something missing. I found in you a new best friend and over time I fell in love with you. I feel safe and happy with you. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I vow to always put our family first and to always love you." stella finished up. Misty looked at Ronnie Anne.

"When we meet I could see the sadness in your eyes and I wanted to try and help you erase that sadness. I admit my ideas were not the smartest. I never would have thought I fall in love with you but I did and I am happy as can be. I vow to put family first and to love you." Lincoln then placed the rings and after the I dos.

"You Ronnie Anne now kiss the brides." Misty said. Lincoln kissed both stella and Ronnie Anne. At this Stacy lost it and started to cry. Lincoln was a little freaked out to be honest.

"It is with great honor that I announce for the first time. Mr. Lincoln Ketchum , Mrs. stella Ketchum , Mrs. Ronnie Anne Ketchum and the daughters Ruby and Harper Ketchum." Misty said with tears in her eyes. That night after the huge party Lincoln made love to both stella and Ronnie Anne. Both women marked him as there mate. They feel asleep in Lincoln 's arms happy that they could soon start a family.

The three adults woke up the next morning naked in each other's arms. All three were content and happy.

"I thought it was a dream. A realistic and wonderful dream but a dream none the less. Now I know it was not." Ronnie Anne said. Lincoln gently and lovingly kissed her.

"If you ever doubt look at my neck." Lincoln said. Ronnie Anne and stella did and both saw a small mark on either side of his neck. This meant that both stella and Ronnie Anne marked Lincoln . It was a sign to other females that he was claimed so back off. If you looked on stella or Ronnie Anne's neck you would see a mark as while. Lincoln marked them both last night as well. It was a sign to others to back off.

Lincoln did not like that aspect but he was happy so he did not think too much on it. Plus when he was turned into a werewolf he was told that some things would change and this was one of the them. Lincoln was really happy all that was missing were little children that he could raise.

Now he loved that he had two daughters but he wanted to raise them form a baby. He wanted more daughters he was unsure about a son but he would worry about that later when and if the time came. If either stella or Ronnie Anne told him they were carrying a son he would be happy really happy he would also be really happy if they told him they were carrying a daughter.

Sarah had just woken up and she was cuddle up to her mother. Sarah was able to sleep with her mom last night as a special treat. Normally if a parent was staying over they could not stay with their child. However Misty let it slide last night. She knew Sarah needed it. Plus Misty was in her happy mode.

Sarah's mom knew that her daughter was troubled by something. She just did not know how to bring it up. Finally she picked the direct approach. She warped her daughter in a hug and Sarah cuddled deeper into her mom. Sarah Ronnie Anne be one of the strongest girls at the school but she was still a little girl at heart and her mother's warmth brought her peace.

"My little snake I know something is troubling you please tell me what it is I want to help you." She said. The little snake comment was corny but Sarah liked it.

"I think I am in love but I am too young and the one I think I love will never love me that way. It hurts mom it really hurts. How do I make the pain go away?" Sarah asked with a broken heart.

"Who is the lucky lady?" Her mom knew it had to be a girl and it did not bug her mom not at all that Sarah liked girls.

"Ruby, she is my best friend and I am scared mom really scared. What do I do please help me." Her mom looked at her.

"You need to tell her the truth. You need to tell her how you feel. She is one of your best friends and she will not turn away from you if you tell her. If you do not tell her you will always regret it. You will always have what if in the back of your mind."

"You support this mom?" Sarah asked. It caused her mom to smile.

"Yes as long as you are happy and she treats you right. Go and tell her for all that matters is that you tell her." So Sarah went to find Ruby. Once she found her three friends she asked to speak to Ruby alone. Ruby and the others did not bat an eyelLincoln at this. Ruby however could tell her friend was upset or at the very least nervous.

"Ruby please do not interrupt me this is very hard for me to say." Sarah said which caused Ruby to nod her head. Sarah realized that she had lost her nerve so she grabbed Ruby and gently kissed her. Ruby started to return the kiss which gave hope to Sarah.

"I love you Ruby. I want nothing more than to be with you." Sarah said. She had put all her cards on the table and now she waited to hear form Ruby.

"I do not know what to feel Sarah I need a few days please. I will let you know. Is that ok?" Ruby said and asked. Sarah nodded. Ruby gave her a gentle kiss. She was letting her know that she was not outright rejecting Sarah's love. Ruby flew off to the garden.

It was there four hours later her mom found her. The three adults were getting ready to go on their honeymoon. stella could tell that Ruby was not doing very well. She wrapped her in a hug.

"So what has you this down?" stella asked.

"Sarah kissed me and told me she loved me. What do I do? I am scared and confused. Being with another girl is not allowed in many parts of the world." Ruby said.

"That is true but everyone here accepts it. I do not care who you end up with. As long as she or he understand if they hurt you then they deal with me and Lincoln and Ronnie Anne. Neither of us will be nice." stella said.

"I need help mom please help me." Ruby asked almost begged. stella sat down in a lotus position and asked her daughter to do that same.

"Now close your eyes and listen for two voices. You will hear a loud voice louder than a wolf's howl and a soft voice softer then a mouse. Listen for them and let me know when you can hear them both and follow them." stella said.

Ruby spent the next hour listening for the voices. The loud voice she heard right away without any effort at all. The soft voice was what she had trouble hearing but she was finally able to hear it. She let her sister turned mom know this information.

"Good now the loud voice is your brain or mind. It is logical and the one that should be listened to most of the time. The soft voice is your heart. It is often times more emotional and rLincoln it should be ignored most of the time or taken with a grain of salt. " stella spoke to make sure Ruby got it.

"Now in this case ignore your brain it is wrong and knows nothing of love. Now I know the brain controls all emotions but in this case it is the heart that matters. Listen to it for it will guide you." stella said. Ruby listened and finally understood. Once she ignored her brain she had the answer it was clear as the sky at night deep in the heart of Texas. She hugged stella and ran off.

stella smiled for she knew her sister turned daughter had gotten it. Ruby found Sarah she was with her mom and just having fun.

"Sarah Ronnie Anne I speak to you alone please. It is important." Ruby said. Sarah did not want to. She felt that Ruby was going to break her heart but she had to trust Ruby since she was her friend. So she agreed. Ruby and Sarah found a secluded spot.

"I am so sorry for making you wait Sarah. I should have told you this right away. Thankfully mom made me see the truth." Ruby was rambling which Sarah knew she did when she got nervous. It gave her slight hope.

"The truth is I love you as well Sarah. I was and am still afraid that are friendship will be ruined. So I hid my feelings and locked them away." Sarah and Ruby shared a sweet kiss.

"Let us promise to always be friends no matter what happens." Sarah said. Both girls promised that. They had a bond of friendship that was strong and nothing could break that bond even if the relationship failed.

It was for that reason that Sarah's mom pushed Sarah into telling Ruby. Her mom was staring at the moon and just relaxing. She always enjoyed the night it was relaxing and soothing to her.

"I did not take you as someone that enjoyed the night." Looking up she sees stella .

"I enjoy it. The night has a clam feel to it." Mary said. That was her name by the way.

"Agreed as a creature of the night it makes me more comfortable." stella said.

"I am not thinking you came to talk about me liking the night." Mary said with a smile.

"True it seems are daughters are together. I am curious as to why you pushed Sarah to confess. Are they not too young?" stella asked.

"Yes they are young I will not deny that. However with love it does not matter. My late husband I met when I was five. I knew when I was ten years old that I loved him. We married the first chance we could. Sadly he died but not before Sarah was born." Mary said. stella now understood.

"Do not misunderstand I am happy about it. I do not wish to see Ruby hurt. That is one thing I have fought hard to prevent since our parents were killed." stella said and Mary agreed.

"She is lucky to have you." Mary said.

"Sarah is lucky to have you." stella said.

"Your both great mothers." They heard a voice they knew as Stacy. She looked at stella .

"So am I going to have grandkids yet?" stella started to sweet drop at this.

"No not yet we are not ready for children just yet. Velma and my former friends are still out there. Children will be hurt by them." stella said.

Ronnie Anne was with Harper and she could tell that her daughter was upset by something. She knew Harper was not upset about the marriage she was happy about it. So she had to figure it out. She gave up and just asked.

"I think I have fallen in love with Bonnie ." Harper said which caused Ronnie Anne to smile.

"So why not tell her?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"She is one of my best friends and is now my aunt." Harper said.

"Well not by blood so that does not matter. You need to tell her how you feel or else you will regret it." Ronnie Anne said.

"I never told Lincoln how I felt and I almost lost him. If stella had not stepped in I would have. You need to follow your heart my dear. That is all that I can say." Ronnie Anne said.

"I will do it when you are gone. Have fun mom." Harper said. The two hugged and left.

Lincoln was with Bonnie just laughing and having fun.

"So are you going to tell Harper that truth?" This caused Bonnie to blush bright red.

"She is my friend." Bonnie said.

"stella and Ronnie Anne are my friends and look what happened." Lincoln said.

"I am not telling you what to say or do Bonnie I want to see you happy and not have regrets." Lincoln said after a pause.

"Ok I will tell her when you are gone. I hope you have fun and watch out for them." Bonnie hugged her brother and they went back. A little while later Lincoln , stella and Ronnie Anne left the Ghoul School to go on their honeymoon. It was a two week cruise and they were going to have fun lots of it. Harper and Ruby hugged their parents and told them they loved them.

It had been six months since Lincoln married both stella and Ronnie Anne. The honeymoon was amazing. A lot of fun was had by all three of them. Harper did not confess to Bonnie . Bonnie confessed to Harper. It took all of her courage but she remembered her brother telling her that she might regret it if she did not tell Harper.

FlLincoln back

Bonnie had called Harper over and asked to speak to her. Harper agreed to it for a few reasons. One her friend really looked troubled. Two she needed a break from doing homework and three, Sarah and Ruby were just too cute it was driving her crazy and making her feel a little bit jealously that she did not have that type of relationship.

The two girls went outside to the garden. They did not know that Stacy had followed them outside. Stacy had learned how to hide her scent form the girls. She could not do it with Lincoln , stella , Ronnie Anne or the teachers but the girls she could. She wanted to be out here to help her daughter if it was needed.

"Harper you are one of my best friends. You along with Sarah and Ruby helped me when I came to this school." Harper knew Bonnie was not done yet so she waited.

"To be honest my feelings have grown stronger. I love you and I want to see if a relationship will work." Bonnie said and now she waited for either happiness or sadness. Harper smiled.

"I feel the same way Bonnie . I had no friends till you came and you brought me into the group. I love you to Bonnie and I would be more than happy to see if a relationship will work out." The two young girls shared a tender kiss.

They stopped when they heard crying. Bonnie using her magic remove the bush that her mother was hiding behind. Bonnie was annoyed for it was a wonderful kiss.

"Mom why were you spying on us?" Bonnie asked more liked shouted.

"Sorry my dear I wanted to be there for you in case your heart was broken. I will go now enjoy your time together. By the way here is some food have a nice picnic." Stacy dropped the basket she had brought and left. The two girls enjoyed the picnic.

End of flLincoln back

Ronnie Anne and Lincoln were thrilled when they were told of the relationships once they got back. Lincoln did have to protect his daughter so it was an odd conversation but a funny one.

FlLincoln back

"So Bonnie I have to give you the don't hurt my daughter speech which is not normal." Lincoln said and it caused both to start laughing and the laughter was long and hard.

"True Lincoln but when have we ever been normal you are a werewolf married to two vampires. I am a witch dating a vampire who happens to be your step daughter. This whole situation is odd but so wonderful at the same time." Bonnie said.

"I know I just don't want to see you two hurt. Both of you have been hurt in the past and I don't want to see it happen again. However I don't think it will be an issue. However I have to let you know." Lincoln said.

"What about Sarah?" Bonnie asked.

"I will talk to her don't worry. " Lincoln said.

"I promise Lincoln that I will take care of Harper and I will always love her. I will never give her up at least not without a fight even if she tells me to go away." Bonnie said.

stella was with her daughter telling her daughter the non x rated parts of her honeymoon.

"So how is the relationship with Sarah going?" stella asked. In response Ruby smiled a huge smile.

"It is wonderful mom. I love spending time with her it is hard to describe but I love it." Ruby said.

Ronnie Anne was having the same conversation with her daughter but about Bonnie and she did tell about the honeymoon.

"Mom she is amazing I am so happy." Harper said.

Later that night Lincoln , stella , and Ronnie Anne all talked with their daughters and sister.

"Ok girls we are happy about the relationships you are in with each other." Lincoln said.

"However we need to set some ground rules." stella said.

"We don't care if you sleep in the same bed and hold each other." Ronnie Anne said.

"However nothing else until you are at least 18." stella said.

"We all trust you four so don't ruin it." Lincoln finished up and the girls promised they would not do anything to break their parents or siblings trust.

"Now we don't think you guys will do anything but we wanted to make sure it was understood." Lincoln said. The four in response hugged the adults. The girls went to bed afterwards. Ruby and Sarah cuddled with each other and Harper and Bonnie cuddled with each other. The three went back to the library to talk with Stacy.

"So any grand kids yet?" She asked. It caused all three to blush bright red at this comment. It seems they had not gotten use to the questions yet. Either that or Stacy just asking like that was too much for them to handle.

"No Stacy we are not pregnant yet." stella said she had recovered the fastest.

"When we are ready to get pregnant we will be and after Lincoln and the girls are told you will be the third to know." Ronnie Anne said.

"Mom Velma and the others are still out there. They have no problems going after pregnant women to get what they want. I am not putting my family in harm's way." Lincoln said.

"I know I am just messing with you guys." Stacy said. She hugged her family all of whom hugged her back. The three then went to bed cuddled up to each other. Meanwhile Velma who was still alive was plotting her revenge. Fred and Daphne were dead as dead as can be.

She used them for her evil plans. The truth is she used very dark magic the kind that would make Harperh Ravencroft run in fear to make a blood clone. She was creating an army and it was almost ready. Soon she would march onto the Ghoul School. Once there she would capture Lincoln and make him watch as she killed the ones he loved.

It had been one year since the marriage and the honeymoon and life was great. Ruby and Sarah were still going strong. Bonnie and Harper were also going strong. Lincoln , stella and Ronnie Anne were stronger than ever. Every night Lincoln would pray giving thanks for stella , Ronnie Anne his daughters, his sisters and his mom. stella and Ronnie Anne would pray giving thanks for Lincoln and their daughters.

Ruby would pray giving thanks for Sarah and her two best friends as well as her parents. Sarah would pray giving thanks for Ruby, her two best friends and her mom. Harper would pray giving thanks for Bonnie , her two best friends and for her parents. Lastly Bonnie would pray giving thanks for Harper, her two best friends, her mom and her brother as well as sister's in laws.

Velma was ready her forces were ready so she marched onward. Her forces numbered 3 million. Let me tell you about her army. It was made of shadow creatures. All of them were about the strength of a black belt. They had no magic but were good at hand to hand. Plus they all fought as one so they swarmed on their foes. Velma could not create more she did not have the blood needed.

Fred and Daphne had been very helpful with that. Before they had died she had taken there blood and used it in the rituals needed to summon the army. She had gained great power over the dark arts.

She marched to Coolsville. She could summon her army at any time so she kept them away when she was traveling. She could not find Stacy and that was getting her really mad. However she remembered that the vampire had a friend she could use so she teleported Serena 's house.

Velma did not know where the school was but she figured Serena would. It took Velma a few days to find Serena . Each day was getting her more and more annoyed. Now Serena knew that Velma was looking for her. Some people in the town had informed her of this. She knew who Velma was for stella had told her.

stella told Serena that Velma was a threat to stella 's family and she was unsure what the bookworm would do. So she needed to find away to end Velma. Serena volunteered to aid in that task. She acted as the bait. She worked at the school as a groundskeeper. The girls liked her and were not scared of her. She had earned their trust and respect.

Serena never planned on marrying for let's face it no one would want to be with her for many reasons. It did not bug her it brought her peace. So the girls had become like her daughters. Many of them had no families or parents. So Serena had become like their mother.

Serena loved them like there were her daughters. She knew that Velma was aiming to hurt her daughters. So it would be a very cold and she meant a very cold day in hell before she allowed anyone to hurt her daughters or her friends. It had been three days and she knew Velma was following her. So like stella did a few years ago she lead Velma out to a clearing.

"Come on out now Velma I know why you are here. For all that you claim to be you are not as fox like as you would like to be." Serena said. Velma stepped out of the shadows.

"I am here for your help you are still a pure human. The monsters must be destroyed." Velma said. Serena had been very calm and collected during this whole speech. However something snapped in her.

"My best friend and almost sister is a vampire married to a werewolf slLincoln vampire. I work at a school full of girls that are called monsters but are not. Many of them have been hurt by humans like you." She took a pause and spoke quickly.

"Many parents throw their kids out and try to kill them. They have no family. I became their mother. So I will not allow you to hurt my daughters. I will not tell you anything." Velma summoned her army.

"Tell me or my army will tear you apart." Velma said with a smirk as her army surrounded Serena . Serena pulled out a sword. She had been taking lesson's form Lincoln . She knew she would die but she was going to take out some of these shadows before that. She starts to hack some of them. They are many of them and they are all strong. In a matter of seconds she has taken out 10 of them. However she was hurt as well by shadow claws.

Just as she falls to the ground she feels a hand pick her up and carry her out. She pass's out in her best friends arms. stella had gotten the call and knew her friend needed her. The rest of the school was on battle mode and lock down mode.

"Well Velma nice to see you. You are looking well." stella said not even shocked by seeing Velma alive and the lack of shock annoyed Velma.

"Why are you not shocked that I am alive?" Velma said.

"O it is simple. Lincoln knew you were alive. Something about you clone saying sorry he knew it was not you. Anyway you will not get away with your plan. Stand down or we will kill you." stella said.

"You can't kill me. I have you outnumbered. " Velma said.

"I can and we will. I want you dead as soon as possible. Once you are dead I can get pregnant and have children with Lincoln . He does not want me to get pregnant till you are dead." stella said and she turned around. Velma shouted at her.

"Let us finish this fight." Velma said.

"No Velma if it is fight you want we understand. However we will not allow you to harm the girls or anyone else for that matter." She threw a rolled up piece of paper at Velma.

"In four weeks time meet there we will have are fight there. Let it been known that it will be a fight to the death and we will spare no punches. This time you will die and not only that but Lincoln will ripe your heart out of your chest." stella said and she gets ready to teleport but she stops.

"One more thing (name that character) no outsiders will be allowed in the battle zone." stella teleported away to get Serena treated and to get ready for the biggest battle of her life. One her and her family would not lose. She knew this in her heart for they had something worth fighting for.

stella teleported Serena to the hospital wing of the Ghoul School to get her healed. Lillie upon seeing them goes into healer mode to save the young women that has become like family to the school. Sadly Serena was in worse shape than stella had thought. The shadow creatures had torn at her skin and caused a lot of blood to be lost a lot more then stella originally thought.

"I am sorry guys I don't think she is going to make it." Lillie said sadly with a heavy heart. It was the one thing she hated about being a healer telling someone they were going to die and then telling the family and loved ones the same news. stella , Ronnie Anne and Lincoln were in the room.

stella was not about to let her best friend slLincoln sister die. She looked at Ronnie Anne and both nodded. The two of them had been secretly talking the past few weeks about Serena . By secretly the author means without Lincoln knowing. What they were about to do was risky but if it worked Serena would live and the family would get larger.

"Lincoln there is away to save her." stella said with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"I am sensing a but coming." Lincoln said and stella nodded her head. She took a deep breath before she spoke.

"If you mark her she will live." stella said. Now the reason this was risky for she was playing on Lincoln 's weakness of helping his friends and not letting them down. She knew he Ronnie Anne not be happy that she played that card but it would work in the long run at least that was her hope.

Serena loved Lincoln even if she denied it which she had when stella asked her. stella was smarter then she let on with her friend which allowed her to see through her friend. She guessed that Ronnie Annebe Lincoln loved Serena but she was unsure he was better at hiding his emotions form others even her and Ronnie Anne.

Ronnie Anne did not care one way or the other. She had become fond of Serena so she would be happy. Lincoln sighed.

"What do I need to do?" He asked. stella did not expect him to agree this fast.

"Just bite her and transfer any love you have for her to her. It will mark her and heal her. On the subject of love do you love her?" stella asked with some nervousness.

"We will not be upset if the answer is yes." Ronnie Anne said gently.

"To be honest I think I do. I have ignored my feelings for so long however I think she should be the first I tell my feelings to so for now I will keep quite. All I will say is I do not want to lose her. Also I am not annoyed you used my weakness against me." Lincoln said. stella and Ronnie Anne engaged a three way hug. They both understood and respected that. stella was also really happy that Lincoln was not upset with her.

"The girls love her so that will not be a problem." stella said.

"Your mom will be happy to have more grandchildren." Ronnie Anne said. Both parts were true. Ruby accepted Serena and once that occurred the other three accepted her. Once the two power couples accepted Serena the rest of the school accepted her. Stacy would be happy to have another daughter in law that would give her more grandkids. It still freaked stella and Ronnie Anne out that she kept asking.

A few months after the honeymoon they told her not until Velma was dead. They would not risk their family with having her around. Stacy understood that but she was not getting any younger and she wanted grandkids to spoil well more she already had three and she loved them but she wanted more.

Lincoln reach towards Serena 's neck and bit her. He transferred the love he had for into the bite. Lillie had been watching so once Lincoln was done she performed a scan and said this.

"She is coming back you did it Lincoln she will live." All three were thrilled to hear that news. Lincoln went to train he had a battle to get ready for and he did not plan on losing it. It took two days for Serena to wake up. She saw stella and Ronnie Anne.

"How am I still alive it does not make any sense? Also how is it that I can smell better than I ever have before? " Serena asked.

"You were marked." stella said. She was not going to beat around the bush so to speak.

"By who?" Serena asked for she understood what that meant and she was worried that she would forever be with someone she did not love or even like. stella and Ronnie Anne gave a huge smirk.

"Lincoln of course and before you try to lie I know you love him." stella said.

"I don't love him I already have told you that." Serena said. stella sighed.

"Serena you know me pretty well right?" stella asked and Serena nodded her head in confused manner unsure where this was going also slightly afraid of where this was going.

"What do I do to anyone or anything I consider a threat?" stella asked.

"You kill the person or destroy the thing." Serena said.

"Would I consider someone wanting my husband a threat to me and my family?" stella asked.

"I guess a little." Serena said.

"Serena bottom line is if I wanted to kill you I would have. I know you love Lincoln so do not lie. You are his mate now so you can be with him just don't lie." stella said.

"I also am ok with it Serena . I like you and respect you. You are one of the few humans I can say that about. I to would have killed you if I wanted to." Ronnie Anne said. Serena started to cry as she buried her head into her friends shoulder.

"I had a crush on him since I met him and it has grown stronger. Where is he I need to talk to him?" Serena said slLincoln ed asked.

"He is training the battle is in 28 days we need to be ready. Plus when he is nervous he fights." stella said.

"Plus I need to clear you first." Lillie said as she walked into the room she performed a few scans and cleared Serena .

"Now go and get him." Lillie said. Serena ran off to the gym and to Lincoln . She found him transformed and training and it was awesome to watch him train that hard. Lincoln looks up and sees Serena he walked over to her and embrace's her in a hug. She kiss's him passionately letting go of all the repressed feelings she had stored up. The result was a kiss that made both shake with joy and happiness.

"Is it true Lincoln that you love me?" Serena asked with hope in her eyes and her voice. Yes she knew of the mark and knew Lincoln had to love her for it to work and yes she felt the love in the kiss but she wanted to and needed to hear it from him. Lincoln smiled.

"Yes it is true I do love you. At first I did not like you. At first I thought you might hurt stella ." Lincoln said with some sadness and guilt in his voice. Serena kissed his check letting him know she understood and it was ok.

"I am sorry for thinking that." He knew she had forgiven him but it still ate him up.

"After I married stella and Ronnie Anne and you got a job here I started to feel something so I buried it deep down." Lincoln said and he was having a hard time. He was close to losing it.

"However seeing you in the hospital bed and knowing we might lose it I could not fight it anymore. I knew that if you died it would be like losing stella or Ronnie Anne." Lincoln said and once more he had to stop the tears and himself from losing it.

"So I stopped fighting it and knew I loved you." Lincoln said and this time the fight was over he could not stop the tears. He felt several pairs of arms around him and knew stella , Ronnie Anne, Ruby, Bonnie , Harper and Sarah were here. He also felt a wet snot near him and knew Nightshade was here as well. All of them joined in the tears since all of them knew a great battle was going to occur. The girls knew they would not fight Velma but they also knew that Velma might send people to the Ghoul School anyway. Serena was later given a ring hers had a red ruby next to a diamond on a gold band.

Stacy as predicted was thrilled and started asking for grandkids. Serena was starting to get scared by this. However she really liked Stacy and was glad she had her as a mother in law.

The next month the plans were made and training was done. Serena , stella and Ronnie Anne doubled their training and Lincoln tripled his. Lincoln asked if the gurls knew how to fight with Swords they said no so he tought them day in and day out the four trained and did not stop. They were not going to lose. Even after his wives went to bed Lincoln would train. He would train form first light to last light.

About three days before the battle Thorn, Luna, Dusk and Bonnie used a sleeping spell on him. At the rate he was pushing himself everyone feared he would not survive the battle. He woke up a few hours later and went to train until his wives stopped him.

"Lincoln you need to rest you need to spend time with your family. You have not made love to Serena yet." stella said.

"I know you are worried we all are worried but pushing this hard will do no one any good." Ronnie Anne said.

"Plus the girls want to spend time with you and we want to spend time with you." Serena said. It took her a few days to get use to the being married thing but she enjoyed it greatly. Every morning waking up next to Lincoln was amazing. True they had not made love yet but she was willing to wait. She did not have to wait long. Lincoln kissed her and this started the process that led to love making. Once Serena was done and asleep Lincoln made love to stella and Ronnie Anne.

The next two days were more relaxed with the adults spending time with the kids. The girls did not leave there mothers or father or brother at all. Nightshade was also training she had been training alongside her daddy. The last day and night was the hardest. The girls all slept with their parents and brother. Even Lincoln 's mom and Sarah mom stayed with them. It was a big group hug and cuddle. Bonnie , Harper and Ruby were the most scared afraid to lose the one person that had always been there for them besides their girlfriends.

The next morning the four adults along with Misty and Thorn went to the battle site. The rest stayed behind to help the school. Lincoln told the teachers to let these 4 Handel the fight if it comes to the school they said way he said because i trained thim they said ok Nightshade wanted to go with her daddy but was asked to protect her sisters. The girls bid a tearful goodbye to their parents hoping it was not the final time. The adults get to the prearranged site and see Velma and her army waiting.

The battle site was an empty clearing in the middle of the forest. The clearing was very large about the size of three football fields. Velma and her army numbering in the billions now for she had increased it over that month long break. It was now numbered at 30 billion.

On Velma's side she had the dark magic she had access to and her 30 billion shadow troop army. The monster team had only six fighters but each fighter was deadly in combat. Thorn was a high rank witch arguably the most powerful witch in the world. She was also a deadly close combat fighter. Misty was the Vampire Queen and had all the powers that went with it including the powers over darkness.

stella and Ronnie Anne were powerful vampires and deadly in close combat. They could make quick strikes and be done with a foe before they even realized they were dead. Serena was a half vampire half werewolf and deadly with a blade. Lincoln was Lincoln and one of the most powerful there. So the numbers were not on their side but they had the power.

Another advantage was the battle site. You see Lincoln picked this site for a few reasons. Reason number one the forest area was well known to all member of the monster group. Reason number two all of the monster team felt comfortable in the forest. Lastly reason number three the forest gave the monsters a power boost a very huge power boost.

"Ok Velma before we get started with this fight." Lincoln started but was stopped.

"I am not going to give in and just leave you be Lincoln ." Velma spoke.

"I know and besides you are too far gone for me to even ask that. I would like to know where are Fred, Daphne, stella and Serena 's former friends." Lincoln asked.

"I made blood clones for them and I sacrificed them to get my power and my army. Daphne was so useless in life she finally became useful. All she had was her pretty face same with Fred and the others." While there was no love lose before Fred and Daphne he did not like that Velma just casually mentioned she used them for power. stella and Serena felt the same way.

"So what is with the other the purple haired one and why is Thorn here?"

"I am his sister and best friend. I am Misty the daughter of the late Count Dracula and now the current Vampire Queen." Misty said. This cause some nervousness for Velma but not much.

"I am his friend and sister as well. I am a witch and pretty good one. I don't like what you have become Velma so I will end you. I respected you once we all did but that time is done. As Lincoln said you are too far gone." Thorn said. and me said Harperh ravencroft

"Only 6 with you Lincoln that is sad." Velma said.

"My three wives and my two sisters are very powerful you are the one that should be scared." Lincoln said and it caused Velma to roll her eyes. and Harperh ravencroft is a strong which

"Now enough talking we fight now." Velma after these words ordered her army to attack. Serena charges forward and cuts down a hanging tree branch with her sword using her newly gained speed and strength. The branch is hanging over the battle field and it not only crushed some of the shadows it gives them less space to move around which was the more important point. After she cuts the branch she quickly takes out some of the shadows.

All five split up and Velma is happy thinking this battle will be easier. When Velma got her power something had to give. To get the amount of power she it had cost a lot to her. She had to sacrifice something. Serena had to give up her human side to get her power but it was a great trade at least she thought it was. Thorn, Misty , stella and Ronnie Anne were born with their powers. They had to master them over the year that was there sacrifice always fighting the darkness in their hearts always with the fear of becoming a true monster. Lincoln was forcible given his. He had many struggles to master them.

Velma when she got her powers gave up her intelligence since that is all the demons would take. She was not dumb by any means but she was nowhere as smart as she once was. So in other words she did not see coming what was about to happen.

Velma was not able to dodge a deadly claw form Lincoln . Her arm was cut off. However to Lincoln 's disgust it grew back. He then started to laugh which confused and angered Velma.

"I cannot be killed why are you laughing?" Velma asked.

"I know what potion you used and it has a very big weakness." Lincoln said to prove his point he quickly cut off two of her fingers and only one grew back.

"You see if you are injured in more than one place at the same time it will not fix all. It fix's the smallest injury and leaves the big ones. Now it will heal if given time but I will not give you that time." Lincoln said and he charged. Meanwhile the ladies were doing very well with the battle. Each was using her power or skills to cut down the shadows.

Velma attempted to blast Lincoln with her magic but he dodged all of the attempts. Sadly it gave Velma the time she needed to allow for her other finger to re grow. She smirked the potion was not what she wanted but it could work. Lincoln charged once more and a deadly hand to hand battle occurred. Lincoln was able to land three hits on Velma sadly they were not deep enough to draw blood but they still hurt Velma which stunned her and allowed Lincoln to cut off her left hand.

"I must say Velma you are forcing me to do something I don't want to do." Lincoln said and he started to howl a howl that told all other wolfs that he was anger and was not to be messed with. In a matter of seconds he had transformed but he was different. His eyes were redder and his fur was blacker and he was by far more terrifying.

"This is not what you looked like last time." Velma said with a slight amount of fear.

"Correct I have evolved if you will. Love has made me stronger. I have become a creature feared by many. I am now the dire werewolf." Velma was slightly more scared now a dire wolf was not to be messed with. The dire wolf is the ancestor of the modern day wolf and extinct. It is good sense many believe them to have been more vicious and smarter. In other words Lincoln was smarter, stronger and deadly now. By this point Velma's hand had grown back but she could feel that it was not as strong as it used to be.

"Starting to see the other downside it seems. All injuries that are re grown are weaker than before. In other words your hand is not as strong as before. if I cut it off again you Ronnie Anne not be able to hold a pen with it." Lincoln said.

He turned away from Velma and moved toward her shadow army and stated to slaughter them. It was not pretty and the shadows were being killed at a quick rate. Seeing Lincoln destroying the shadows the others charged as well and started to kill the shadows. They like Lincoln unleLincoln ed there full power. Misty was the vampire queen and she got a little bit of power for each vampire so she was not to be messed with. stella , Ronnie Anne and Serena were powerful in their own rights. Thorn tapped into the earth and started to control it. All were holding back but not anymore. In a matter of minutes the shadows were wipe out.

Thorn had trapped Velma in a cage of earth. She blasted it away and shot a beam at stella who was able to dodge it. She was in a weaken state but she was still dangerous very dangerous. She fired server beams of energy at the gang. All of which were dodged.

"She more stubborn then I thought she would be." Thorn said.

"Everyone unleLincoln your sprits it is the only way." Lincoln said sadly. He started to chant and the others follow suit.

"Sprit of the dire wolf" Shouted Lincoln he was drawing on the strength of all that loved him.

"Sprit of the vampire" stella shouted. She like her husband was calling on the strength of the people that loved her.

"Sprit of the vampire" Ronnie Anne shouted as well. The people that loved her gave her the strength needed.

"Sprit of the vampire wolf" Serena yelled. Her loved ones were with her giving her the strength needed.

"Sprit of the vampire queen" Misty said softly she was drawing on all the vampires form around the world to give her strength.

"Spirit of the witch" Thorn said. Thorn was also drawing power form Luna and Dusk her two best friends and sisters and the two she loved the most. She also had her other loved ones. All at once six sprits were sent at Velma. The result was a huge explosion of power that hit Velma dead on. Thanks to the potion she was still alive but barely. Lincoln walked over and ripped out her heart and crushed her still beating heart right in front of her. She was still alive but once her heart was crushed she was dead. Thorn summoned fire and burnt her body.

The five teleported to the school to be welcomed by their loved ones with hugs and kisses. Lincoln , stella , Ronnie Anne, and Serena took their daughters in their arms and spent the night like that. All were exhausted. None of them liked killing but they had to. All agreed to not think about it and move on."

It had been a day since the battle in the forest and the death of Velma. Everyone had returned to normal and was happy again. Now before anyone judges badly consider this please. Velma was out for blood and aiming to kill family. The regret Lincoln had in killing his once friend was gone by the time he woke up the next morning. Seeing his daughters in their mother's arms and his wives in his arms made him realize what he was fighting for and that it was worth it and that he would kill as many as needed to protect his family.

"So what has you this happy? I would figure you would have guilt or regret of some sort. Not a lot but some." stella asked her husband quietly so as not to wake the others.

"I did last night but I woke up and saw everyone here and knew that it was the right choice. Does it suck I had to kill my once friend. Yes it does but she made her choice I gave her way too many chances. So no I have no more regrets or sadness." Lincoln said. stella gave him a soft kiss.

"I am also not going to give anyone else that many chances Ronnie Annebe one chance but no more." Lincoln said.

"I think that is wise." stella said and she put her head back down on his chest. She really liked that spot. Lincoln made a vowed that anyone that even thought about harming his family was going to die. Everyone gets up and ready for the day.

Later that day Thorn found him after he was done teaching and asked to speak to him. Since she was his friend and almost sister he agreed also he could tell she was nervous about something and Thorn never showed her nervousness. She was always calm and collected even in the battle she was calm and collected so to see her like this worried Lincoln . They went to her room and she sat down on the bed.

"Lincoln I need your advice. I am in love with Luna and Dusk what do I do?" Thorn asked. Of all that she could have said this was not what Lincoln was expecting. To be truthful he was unsure what to suspect but this was not it he knew. He sighed before he spoke.

"All I can say is tell them. If you don't it will eat you up and who knows Ronnie Annebe they feel the same way." Lincoln said.

"I am not sure I can." Thorn said scared and Lincoln sighed.

"You want to know what finally made me ask stella out besides the almost dying and letting slip that I love her." Lincoln asked and Thorn nodded.

"I got to thinking what would it be like if I saw her in someone else's arms. Would it hurt?" Lincoln said but he had to take a pause.

"The answer was yes it would hurt so I had to tell her before I lost her." Lincoln said and took one more pause.

"Bottom line Thorn if you don't tell Luna and Dusk the truth you could lose them. At least one will love you back Ronnie Annebe both." Lincoln said. Thorn smiled and hugged her brother and went off.

"Was it really necessary to be that mean?" Lincoln heard a voice ask. It was his daughter Ruby who had come out of the shadows.

"No and I was not being mean." Lincoln said and Ruby looked at her father with the you are kidding me look.

"She is right dad you know the truth why not tell her the truth?" Looking the other way he sees his other daughter Harperh who has also come out of the shadow.

"She needs to figure it out on her own." Lincoln said.

"How come?" Ruby asked and Lincoln smiled.

"When she is told the truth it will be that much better and more special for her." Lincoln said. His daughters looked at him.

"Are you sure you are not being evil?" Harperh asked. Lincoln smirked his daughters knew him so well.

"Ok a little bit of that but that is not my sole reason. It will be more special for her and all three of them. They are my sisters and I want them happy." Lincoln said. The three then went to go and plan a game outside. Thorn was nervous but she had to do this. Lincoln was right she knew if Luna or Dusk married someone else her heart would break. She was going to lay it all out on the table and hope for the best. If it failed she would leave the Ghoul School forever. She hoped that did not happen since it was her home. It was the one place that felt like home to her.

Luna and Dusk knew right away that there friend and, both, secret or not so secret love was worried. Yes you see both Luna and Dusk were in love with Thorn. Both of them had talked about it and were more than willing to share Thorn if she ever showed any interest. They also both agree to not fight if Thorn picked just one of them. They both knew that this was a lot of big ifs.

"Ann, Kim I love you both." Thorn said. Luna and Dusk were shocked. Thorn just told them that she loved both of them. Not only that she used their real names. It was something they did not do. Both Luna and Dusk were crying and before Thorn could say anything the two threw themselves at her and hugged her tightly.

"We are so very glad to hear that." Luna said

"We love you to." Dusk said. Thorn grabbed Luna and kissed her passionately. Afterwards she grabbed Dusk and did the same thing. The night the three fell asleep cuddled together. It was the start of a wonderful relationship. The next day Thorn did hit Lincoln when he told her that he knew of the feelings held by Luna and Dusk. She was happy when he told her his reason for him wanting the confession to be special.

The next couple of nights Lincoln made love to stella , Serena and Ronnie Anne. A month later they were not feeling that great. Lillie and Thorn checked on them and they discovered what was wrong. When the three were told the truth they were thrilled. The three then planed on how to tell Lincoln the news that was wonderful.

stella , Ronnie Anne and Serena were all very excited at this point for Lillie and Thorn had just told them some wonderful news. Now the only hard part was how to tell Lincoln . They all knew that Lincoln would be just as excited as they were or even more it could go either way. Nightshade was very protective of them lately and that was what made them get checked out.

They started to feel a little sick but not too much so they dismissed it. However when Nightshade was always near them and was on the edge looking like she was going to bite someone they figured something was up. Once they figured it out they got to work planning on how to tell Lincoln . They figured the direct approach was the best way. They also figured out why Nightshade was the way she was.

Lincoln was worried about his wives something was wrong with them. Nightshade would not tell him what was wrong and that worried him even more. Lincoln had gotten very clam over the years but he was not claim when his wives were in danger or when he thought they were in danger or hurt. Yes he was paranoid but that paranoia was what kept him alive.

"Ok girls today we are going to do something fun. You have studied much of history and many different warriors. Today we will start a who would win series. I will give two different warriors tell me who would win if they fought but why." Lincoln said. Ruby nodded but she knew her dad was worried about her mom's. Harper and Bonnie knew that as well along with Sarah. All the girls knew their teacher was worried.

"Dad go and see them." Ruby said.

"She right brother." Bonnie said. All the girls in the class agreed.

"Girls I want to but all of us promised that teaching you was the most important thing. So I can wait a little longer. If it was really bad Lillie would have come and told me. Someone would have come and gotten me." The students accepted this.

"Ok starting from this point on each week I will give you a three page paper that needs to be done at the end of the week." Lincoln took a pause and was glad to not hear the groan form his students. If anything they were upset it was that short.

"Each week the topic will be a historical question. I want you to answer it." Lincoln said and took a pause to make sure he had not lost anyone and he was happy to see that he had not. He had taught the girls well.

"Now I am not going to give simple topics I am going to ask you the tuff questions. I want you to explain your points. There is no right or wrong in these questions." Lincoln said and paused.

"I am doing it for a few reasons. Number one to make you think outside the box. Number two to deploy your critical thinking skills. Number three to make you be able to defend you points and lastly it is kind of fun." Lincoln said. He saw that everyone had gotten it.

"Ok your first paper is simple. Had the 300 Spartans not been betrayed would they have beaten the Persians?" Lincoln asked.

"There are many answers to this. I suggest looking up what the experts say and go from there. However and I can't stress this point enough I do not want you to repeat what they say. I want you to use your own words." Lincoln said.

"You girls are very smart and very creative. Feel free to be creative. If after looking at some of the experts you have another idea use it but be sure to back it up." Lincoln said.

"One last thought before I let you go. Remember that history often hinges on small events that at the time seem unimportant but in reality are very important. Try to imagine what it would be like leaving at that time." Lincoln said. He then dismissed the class. His daughters and sisters gave him a hug. He had dinner duty that night so he did that and made sure all the girls ate and went up to there rooms.

Sometimes the girls would delay going up. However tonight they all knew Lincoln was worried about his wives and just wanted to see them and hold them so they did not delay they went right to bed. Once more his daughters and sisters hugged him. Lillie gave him a knowing smirk and she did not look worried so he knew it was not bad but he was still worried. When he asked her she only answered with a you will see.

Back downstairs Thorn and Lillie the two healers since ,Thorn had become one to give Lillie some time off once in a while where talking.

"So do you think he will faint?" Thorn asked.

"Ten dollars says he does?" Lillie said.

"No he is going to cry but I agree. Ten to you if he faints and ten to me if he cries." Thorn said. Lillie and Thorn shook hands. Thorn's relationships with Luna and Dusk were wonderful. They had gone thought the witch marriage ritual and were now married. Well Luna and Dusk were married to Thorn and all three were very happy about it. Thorn was really happy when she found out she won the bet the next morning.

Lincoln gets to his room to see all three of his wives in there nightdress's. He gets changed into his pants and sits on the bed. His wives lean on him. stella on his chest while Serena and Ronnie Anne on his shoulder. stella takes his hands and puts them on her stomach.

"Ok can you please tell me what the results were? I am really worried." Lincoln asked. stella smiled.

"We are sorry we made you worry. The news is that we are all pregnant." stella said. Lincoln 's eyes lit up and he started to cry. He pulled his wives close to him and gave each a huge kiss.

"I am sorry very happy. How far along are you?" Lincoln asked.

"About two months." Ronnie Anne said.

"We are all having girls. Is that ok?" Serena asked. Lincoln smiled brightly

"Yes that is ok actually that is wonderful." Lincoln said.

"We would have thought you would want a son." stella said.

"I am very happy that we are having children. As long as they are happy and healthy and their mothers are healthy after giving birth I do not care about anything else." Lincoln said. He called over Nightshade who looked a little sad. Lincoln pulled her up and hugged her.

"I am not mad just do not cause me to worry." Lincoln said and Nightshade licked his check and went to sleep in her bed on the other side of the room. Lincoln pulled his wives closer to him and the four went to sleep. stella , Ronnie Anne and Serena were happy to know that the news was met well and Lincoln was thrilled about the news. The next day after class he called Bonnie , Ruby, Sarah, and Harper and asked them to stay behind.

"Ok Lincoln based upon your mood and the fact that you look like you have won the lottery I am guessing it is good news." Bonnie said. Lincoln smiled.

"Ruby, Harper you are going to be big sister's soon." Lincoln said and waited for the girls to figure it out. He was not disappointed for they figured it out quickly. He got hugs form the girls and the girls hugged their mothers later that night. The news was met well with the entire school.

It was the next few months that were hard for stella , Ronnie Anne, and Serena . They had mood swings and odd cravings. Two of them being vampires it made it harder. The need for blood for pregnant vampires was greater. They had to have it once a week and sadly they could not hunt themselves. Lincoln was able to hunt and get the blood and he did not once complain. Serena also need some but since she was half werewolf and half vampire she only needed it once every two weeks.

"How come you are not upset at all of this Lincoln ?" Thorn asked. Lincoln was also insulted a few times due to the mood swings.

"My wives are carrying are children. They are doing all the work. The least I can do is hunt for blood for them. Besides I love them and I know they do not mean it. Also I did get them pregnant so it is my fault." Lincoln said.

Seven months later all three of his wives went into labor. stella was first and the next day Ronnie Anne and the day after that was Serena . stella gave birth to a girl with blonde hair and green eyes. She was named Mara. Ronnie Anne gave birth to a girl with black hair and blue eyes and she was named Amber. Serena gave birth to a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes and she was named Rose. All three girls were healthy and happy. All three of his wives broke his hands but once again he did not complain. He was just so happy that nothing mattered to him.
