She sighed, “I should’ve run back to you Arthur the second I had her. That is my biggest regret. Anyway, I just know you’ll love this. I found something out after I’d left you. My sister convinced me I just wasn’t ready for that at the time. I may never forgive her for the evasions and what I did. I may never forgive myself, but I pray you can. Hopefully, we are here for this journey together. I can’t wait to see your face my love.” Bexley squealed and popped King Arthur out of the room. Huh?
Aiden and Haley quickly popped us to them. There in the showing room was a golden, glowing box, and a blue box. Haley told me and Heath, “The blue one is yours.” Heath and I walked over and opened it. Inside were bank account numbers. There was a letter for Jordan and Jasper. I looked up at Heath. He turned and handed the letter to Jasper. Jasper stared, brows raised.
I asked, “Did you ever meet our dad?” Jasper shrugged, “I might have. I was little when we left so I don’t remember everything.” He tucked the letter into his shirt. I understood. He wanted to read it with his dad. I squeezed his hand. That was it for this box.
Chase linked me, “There’s five million dollars in each of these six accounts.” My eyes widened. Heath and I were never poor, but damn. Heath took all the information and put it in his jacket. Bexley excitedly squealed, “Arthur, you have to put your blood on our box.” King Arthur smiled at her, “You know what my trinket is, don’t you?”
Haley said, “We should warn him.” King Arthur shook his head, “No, I want to be surprised.” Haley muttered something under her breath. Bexley conjured a knife and handed it to King Arthur. He stepped forward and cut his hand without hesitation and dropped his blood onto the golden box.
An intricate pattern began to form, a deeper gold then the box itself. Several hearts were formed in blood. King Arthur’s hand healed immediately. The box lifted into the air and bubble of gold and red intertwined. Bexley grabbed the knife and cut her own hand touching the bubble. It sizzled, glowing brighter and bigger. It was beautiful. Haley quickly healed her.
The ball moved and hovered over King Arthur’s hands. Haley instructed, “Sir Arthur, hold out your hands next to each other.” He nodded and did so without question. After fifteen minutes the bubble burst.
My eyes widened as did King Arthur's when a baby girl cried, cupped in his hands. He immediately cradled her to his chest. The baby stopped crying, dropped her baby fangs, and latched onto King Arthur’s bare shoulder. He chuckled, “Drink up. That’s it, little lass. Haley... Bexley... is this…” Bexley squealed answering, “Your daughter and my little sister! Well, she should’ve been my big sister, but you get the point. The answer is yes.”
Haley touched the port that was under the golden box that was no more. Bexley’s mom came back on the screen, “Hello, my love. I hope I am here with you, but if not... SURPRISE! After I left you, I discovered I was pregnant. My sister helped me keep the baby in this stasis state until we were together again. If I am gone, name her as you wish. Protect her as I know you will. Love her as I would’ve.”
She wiped away tears, “Shower her with love and never let any harm come to her. Know that I am looking down on you with all of my love.” Dylan was hitting Lucas repeatedly on his arm. King Arthur cooed at the little girl.
The baby held out her hands. They glowed and a light shot into him. Aiden snored, “Oh good.” King Arthur was taken aback. He asked, “What just happened?” Aiden said, “It seems my unnamed Duchess cousin didn’t want her father to be limited to being around after the sun sets. A fairy’s light, if granted to family or someone they love, has the ability to turn vampires into day walkers.”
Robert shouted, “WHAT?!” I glanced at Heath, but it seemed he didn’t know that either. Aiden sighed, “All members of your line will become a day walker now, King Arthur. Obviously, this is not something we want well known. Your kind tends to seek us out for our blood as it is.”
Dylan shouted, “Shut the actual front door!” Bexley asked, “Can I hold her, Arthur?” King Arthur handed the baby to Bexley carefully. She kissed the baby's forehead. Aiden walked over and spoke in Fealish.
Bexley looked up at King Arthur and asked, “What are you going to name her?” Dylan sympathetically said, “Give the guy a beat. He literally had a fairy baby from his ex magicked into his hands. I doubt the man knows what a baby book of names is. I gotchu Vampire King. I have said book at home.”
King Arthur said, “I do not need a book, as you say, a beat. I know her name. It’s Breanna Faelynn Doyle.” Aiden said, “Duchess Breanna Faelynn Holloran Doyle. I will have celebrations started shortly in Faerie about the newest member of our family. You do know as part of the prophesied family; she will be sought after.” Eric added, “She’s a Princess too. Her dad is King.” Dang.
Robert and King Arthur’s fangs dropped from Aiden’s words. King Arthur declared, “No one will harm my little girl.” Breanna popped back into King Arthur’s arms. He calmed immediately. Aiden commented, “I was wondering when the empath of the family would show up. We will have to train her on control. It should be easy for you to help with that, Arthur. You understand the connection to a degree as you have one with any child you make and your own maker.” King Arthur nodded.
Haley told him, “I snapped you everything you’d need for her in your chambers at your home, Sir Arthur. Congratulations.” She conjured a diaper bag for him. He took it looking a little awkward. He cried. Watching him, I learned Vampires cried tears of blood.
He spoke to his daughter, “Oh little lass, I long pictured what you would look like. A little piece of me here and there and my Faelynn. Her features shine through in you, little Breanna. I never, not in my wildest dreams, thought that you would ever be real. You are though. You were just waiting for me. Daddy is so very sorry you waited so long, but I am here now.”
Bexley offered, “Why don’t I pop us to my place? I’ll grab Liam then we can settle Breanna in your home.” King Arthur smiled, “Of course.” Robert and Susanna grabbed onto Bexley, and she popped them out.
Aiden commented, “A part fairy vampire. Now we have TRULY seen it all. If her mate is a wolf, I will riot.” Dylan started laughing stating, “This is…. we just saw a baby gestated by a bubble. A golden blood bubble. I have reached new heights. Am I soaring people? I think I am. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!”
Chase asked Aiden, “Can Ted and Matt’s fairy child be birthed that way?” Haley answered, “Since his children will be part Fae, Aiden and I could pull that off now, yes. Before? No. That’s crazy powerful, insane magic. She fucking knew Aiden. They both did.” Aiden replied, “So it would seem.”
I asked, “What?” Haley answered, “Alania. She fucking knew we were the promised family. The one from the prophecy, to perform the magic her and my aunt did means they knew. My mom had to be pregnant with Aiden to do it. They said NOTHING!” Aiden seemed to know everything she was saying was true.
Haley lamented, “She HAD to know I had powers, but she said and did NOTHING as I was mocked for not having them. When she came to me, she said she’d heard I had powers and how damn marvelous she thought that was. Because she wasn’t lying. She never said she didn’t already know I had fucking powers. THAT BITCH!”
Aiden said, “Now I will never understand why she didn’t alter Arion’s path. He was to stand with us... I just... I just don’t know any more, little sister.” Haley snorted, “She was a bitch. You can say it. You’ll feel better.” Aiden looked off into the distance and seemed to be in pain.
I said, “Let’s get back to your place, Haley.” She nodded and grabbed my hand with Eric, Jackson, and Molly’s. We popped back. Aiden popped back with Chase and the rest of the group. Chase immediately grabbed me.
Dylan said, “Luna Lexi, I am so hurt by your suggestion to leave. We could’ve had more fun in the super-secret fairy bank. Honestly, I don’t know what could've happened next since a literal baby popped out of a bubble blood box, but there were possibilities. OHHH WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN!”
Jordan cut in, “What?” Jasper said, “Dad, it was amazing. Duchess Faelynn’s daughter with King Arthur! The Vampire King dropped some blood on a box that turned into a bubble and swirled with his blood. Then when it popped open there was a baby inside!” Jordan sat back down saying, “My god.”
I asked, “Wait, why isn’t she called a Princess?” Haley answered, “Because Alania is a bitch who chose her title. The reigning monarch gets to choose if their siblings are known as Prince/Princess or Duke/Duchess.” She really was a bitch, but I knew that.
Jasper removed the letter for Jordan from his pocket. He handed it to him. Jordan’s eyes tightened in anger. He looked up at us, “He left me a letter?” I nodded. Chase put the port on the table and Heath touched it.
Jordan started tearing up the second he saw our dad. His face quickly turned to rage when he found out he should’ve had custody of us. Scarlett gasped. Jordan stood, “I never received those documents. I didn’t know we were welcomed back; I would’ve come for you two.” I assured him, “We know Uncle Jordan.”
