Blair sighed as she rested her forehead against the cool marble wall as the hot water of the shower pounded on her back. A baby. Was she even ready for a baby? Was Gabriel ready for a baby? She scoffed at that thought, it was obvious by the way he'd looked at her earlier. Looking down at her flat stomach she couldn't believe that in a couple of months it would be bigger and full of life. How could she even think about bringing a baby into a world full of demons, war, and hatred? Sliding down the marble she pressed her face into her hands and sobbed.
Gabriel walked out of the bathroom and walked back into the room. The shower was still running but under the sound of water hitting marble he could hear Blair sobbing. Rushing into the bathroom he slid open the glass door and pulled her into his arms, "Blair what's wrong?"
All Blair could do was shake her head and continue sobbing. How could she tell him that she was terrified of being a mother? Especially with the example she'd had, "I'm scared." She whispered against his chest.
"So am I." He whispered to her as he buried his face in her wet hair, "We didn't exactly have the best examples for parents but i know we can do this." He said lifting her into his arms and carrying her back into the room, "Sleep for a bit." He whispered to her as he pressed a kiss to her lips and laid her down on the bed. He watched her for a long time until she drifted off to sleep before he joined her on the bed. As he pulled her close he covered them and fell asleep to not only one heartbeat but two.

Linsay laid in her large bed waiting for the guard with their nightly report. Sighing, she turned on her side. She would find out what all the celebrating was about. the night was filled with happy voices, laughter, and music. It was irritating, all that noise, "My queen we know why the creatures of the woods are celebrating."
"And why is that Leon?" She asked him looking over her shoulder at him.
"The princess is expecting her first child." He said and backed out of the tent as fast as his long legs could carry him. Linsay's form had changed from the beautiful woman to that of the monster that lay beneath.
Hissing and growling she got off the bed and dressed in her battle gear. Walking out of her tent she raised her voice to her army, "We attack them tonight."
Her army rushed to obey her. Swords clanked as they were put in their sheaths. Spears, quivers full of arrows and bows were grabbed and strapped on. Knives, potions, and every weapon they had accumulated in the last couple of years were grabbed. In less than ten minutes her army was prepared for battle. A long and bloody battle. In seconds her army of ten thousand demons rushed into the forest. Linsay smiled as she heard the screams of terror and then metal against metal. The battle for the Fairy Forest had begun.

Miles away Meredith came awake with a start. rushing out of bed she ran into the bathroom and brushed her teeth, a luxury she wouldn't have in the battlefield. Suddenly Blake was there his cell pressed to his ear, "Dispatch the Warriors into the forest, now." He ordered before hanging up and handing Meredith the phone.
Meredith smiled at him before dialing her aunt Keeley's number, "The forest is under attack." She said calmly into the phone as she rushed back into the room and grabbed a pair of leather pants, a silky turquoise shirt and sneakers.
"Yes I know. The Guards are already at the front lines." Keeley said hurriedly, "I have to go Meredith, the family will get to the house as soon as they can."
Meredith hung up and tossed the phone to Keiko who walked into the room in her own pair of leather pants, sneakers and silky blood red shirt, "Get the packs together." Keiko nodded and walked back out of the room the cell phone pressed to her ear, "Blake, I'm going to go wake up Blair." She said and walked out of the room and headed down the stairs to the third floor. When she reached the double doors she opened them and walked towards the bedroom door and knocked.
Gabriel opened the door with a smile but when he saw Meredith's face it disappeared, "What's going on?"
"The forest is under attack. I'm assuming Linsay will also be there. We need to be ready." She said looking him in the face, "Get ready to go to war, we leave in ten." She said and started back to the door, "Wake up Blair."
Gabriel stared after Meredith before walking over to the bed and giving Blair a soft kiss on the lips. Her lips curved into a smile before she opened her eyes, "Meredith was just here, she said the forest is under attack. We leave in ten." He said as he pulled her up off the bed.
Blair smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist, "I love you." She whispered before giving him a kiss. Pulling away she walked to the dresser and grabbed a pair of black lace panties and matching bra before opening the closet doors and grabbing a pair of leather pants, a turquoise corset and sneakers.
"Meredith was wearing nearly the exact same thing." Gabriel said as he got dressed in a pair of leather pants, black t-shirt, and boots.
Blair shrugged, "Great minds think alike." She said as she reached into the closet and grabbed two .22s, putting one in the waistband of her leather pants on her lower back and the other in a shoulder holster. Walking into the bathroom she brushed her teeth, waited for Gabriel to do the same before walking out of the room and down the stairs into the large kitchen where her whole family had gathered. The patio doors were open wide to let in the cool night air.
Spilling out on the back porch and onto the backyard her family picked up weapons. Guns, spears, knives, swords, bows and quivers of arrows. Meredith walked over to Blair and handed her a couple of knives, a sword, more ammo for her guns and a leather jacket with many pockets, "Here you'll need this." She said before walking away to stand near Keeley, "The packs of the West are ready to go in." Meredith said to Keeley, who was watching everyone as they got ready for war.
"Whenever you want to send them in you can." She said before looking into the forest behind her.
"You shouldn't show fear." Meredith commented as she her aunts face filled with fear.
"I'm not afraid. I'm worried." She said unconvincingly.
"You can't lie to me Keeley." Meredith said as she looked over the yard, "I have to find Blake." She said and walked away.
Blair stood at the edge of the forest. Standing at her left was Gabriel, Meredith stood to her right, the rest of her family stood next to them as well. Taking a deep breath she looked over at Meredith who merely smiled before she took off at a run into the forest. Blair was right behind her with Blake, Gabriel and the rest of their family right behind them. In seconds they reached a village.
Blair took in the scene before her. Bodies were everywhere, covered in blood as the village burnt to the ground around them. Turning she saw the fairy guards in full armor come out of the forest, "Meredith we have pushed them back towards their camp." A guard said as he stepped forward, "We haven't seen Linsay though."
Linsay chuckled as she stepped out of the forest and launched herself at the guard before anyone could react she had twisted his head and he fell to the ground. Dead. She looked over at Meredith and smiled, "Hello Merry. It's been awhile." She said with a wicked grin on her face before she looked at Blair, "You're the one I really want." She said and lunged towards Blair who flicked her off like she were a fly. Standing she dusted herself off before clapping her hands and a circle of light burst out of the palm of her hands.
Blair flew back and landed a couple of feet away. Growling, she stood and stalked towards Linsay who still had a smirk on her face, "You messed with the wrong wolf." Blair growled at her before lifting her hand, palm out and a fireball burst out of her hand. Hitting Linsay square in the chest making her fall to the ground.
She scrambled to her feet and looked over at Blair. The smirk was still plastered on her face as she walked forward, "That's all you've got, you mongrel." She taunted Blair who hissed and bared her fangs at her.
Blair growled as she began to stalk around Linsay and before she could dodge out of the way Blair launched herself at her. While in mid air she transformed into her wolf and grabbed Linsay around her neck. Slowly, so slowly she began to sink her teeth into her, "Do you want to die slowly and painfully or fast and painless." She growled low enough that only those closest to her and Linsay heard what she'd said.
"This is exactly what I wanted." Linsay hissed as she slipped her hand into her pocket taking out her switchblade she sank it deep into Blairs stomach.
Blair yelped loudly and started to back away from Linsay as blood poured out of her. She involuntarily transformed back into her human form and pressed a hand to the large wound. Roxanne came out of nowhere and grabbed onto Blairs hand. Roxanne, being the daughter of Woden and Freya, she could heal with a touch, "Have you forgotten my gift Linsay?" She taunted the demon queen as Blairs wound began to stitch itself back together.
Linsay cursed herself. How could she have forgotten the gift of healing? Only a Valkyrie in love could use it and Roxanne was very much in love, "Apparently." She huffed and braced herself as Blair launched herself at her.
"You crazy bitch!" Blair exclaimed as she punched Linsay dead in the face, "I can't believe you pulled a human
move." Blair shoved Linsay off her feet and straddled her waist and began punching her in the face. When that wasn't enough for Blair she started to bang her head on the floor.
Suddenly Linsay opened her eyes and stared at Blair before bucking her off, "I'm crazy?! Really?" She said as she rolled onto her stomach and
