"You want to have a C-Section in the middle of an abandoned coal mine?" Ape questioned, allowing the others to do their work. She wasn't a midwife, and had little to no experience with birth. In fact, she felt as though she was in the way now, with Rowan, Nyx, and the other woman helping. Still, she wasn't sure that they could handle it on their own, even with the women and Rowan's ability to conjure items at will. Similar to Lucee and Reast's ability, Apsenniel noted. "Do it." Ape commanded to the woman who apparently knew Enzo. Nikol wasn't going to like what happened next, but these babies needed to live. "Brace yourselves," Ape directed, taking each of them into the void, and stretching the ability to grab Erebus from outside as well. Concentrating, Apsenniel then released them all from the void, into an empty maternity room. "Erebus, guard the door," she commanded, once again dawning the necklace that would hide her wings and sword. Using her young looks to her advantage, Ape ran from the room, grabbing the first nurse she saw. "The baby's coming! We need a doctor in room 12!" She observed as the woman hastily checked her clip board, muttering profanities as it seemed no one had logged the incoming woman. "We'll be right there," She said, paging a doctor. Perfect, Ape decided, returning to the room. Now all they had to do was make sure the doctor didn't freak out.

Nikol continued to hold her breath, she didn't want to give birth, she didn't want to even be pregnant! She was a hunter! She was supposed to be strong, and having children would make her weak! She was unfit to be a mother, she killed a child! She looked at everyone around her and she softened, maybe she could do this whole mother thing. She would have help if she needed it. Maybe she could just tell Anthony that... that she was going to live on Promise Island. She wasn't an Immortal, she knew that. She knew that they would accept her, but, in her heart, she knew that that wasn't her home. She knew of Promise island, she had lived there briefly before when the Dreamer lived there. She felt at home there, and, that is how she had met Anthony. That was how she had met the Boogeyman.
Before she could open her eyes to show that she was okay with everything happening, she was in a hospital room and her eyes widened, she wasn't sure what was going on now, she was confused all over again and Lip was still by her side, which helped, and he seemed completely calm. That also helped.

Things were happening faster than Rowan could register. One moment they were in the coal mines debating who knew how to deliver twins, and the next they were in the hospital trying to get a doctor in to deliver twins. They waited there for several minutes watching as the pain continued...watching how uncomfortable Nikol was in the state of things...It brought Rowan back to the hardships her own mother had... Rowans father hadn't been around when her mother gave birth...and nobody had helped her when she had.. Rowan's mother had been an amplifier, which helped strengthen Rowan's abilities...but only made the pain worse for her mother... With Nikol giving birth to not one, but two supernatural babies, Rowan couldn't help but feel sympathy. Flinching as she heard Nikols pain, Rowan quickly headed towards the door that led into the hall. They were taking too long...
Grabbing a nurse by her arm, Row spoke with irritation ringing in her tone. "She is having twins. Can we get a doctor any faster??" The nurse jerked away from Rowan and pulled out her clip board, taking her sweet time to check it before responding. "She's on a list." The nurse then began walking away, as Rowan watched her, completely struck by shock on how uncaring the nurse had been about the situation. The pressure began to grow up in her stomach and spiraled up through her throat until finally she reached her palms out. Instantaneously, both of her palms completely burst into flames, the rest of her body beginning to grow in heat as well. "Either you get a doctor, or everyone here is going to be in need of a doctor." Rowan's patience had run out with these people, and now she meant business. Everyone seemed to hit the ground as Row took a couple steps out. It was silent at first, as everyone looked at her like a monster... but if that was what they expected from her, that was exactly what she would be. Nobody stepped up...things remained still...Narrowing her eyes, Rowan shot a blast of flames from her palm at a nearby desk, completely slipping the desk into a wall on impact...Row was certain no one got hurt in the process though. With that chaos finally one doctor stepped up. Walking towards the room Nikol was in, Row directed him inside, but she remained by the door, her entire body still heated but the flames in her palms now dying down. "And if any of you call for Hunters. This entire place will go ablaze. " Narrowing her eye brows, Row kept focused on everyone in the room, nobody was getting past her.

Once reaching the hospital, Erebus followed Rowan out to the hall to keep guard. Two sets of eyes were better than one when it came to keeping a look out. He really didn't feel comfortable being in the room anyways with everything that was going on. Looking at Nikol, Nyx watched her carefully. It seemed as though she was monitoring her...but that's wasn't exactly it. The twins held life...which meant Nyx could monitor them...Monitor how they were doing. It amazed Nyx to see twins like her brother...To see such a creation come from a hunter. It was odd in some way, but Nyx saw it as something so simple. Sitting down in a chair nearest to the door, Nyx looked up at finally a man dressed in a doctors jacket walked in. Nyx would be certain to keep a careful eye on him as he performed what he had to. Standing up, Nyx looked over at Ape to explain the situation. She probably would have a better way to communicate anyways. Leaning back against the wall, Nyx smiled softly towards Nikol, almost to reassure her everything would be alright. Softly she then hummed under her breathe a soft lullaby her brother once hummed to her when she underwent her change from human to shadow-hunter...Something that had always comforted her...and something that would hopefully help center Nikol, and calm the twins to be.

Anastasiya was amazed the small woman's ability to transport people wherever they needed. It certainly was fascinating, Annie felt a little ping of jealousy, although she could travel through similar means it was much harder for her tow wait to find people sleeping. But then there was beauty in sleep walking, seeing what others saw in their dreams, their wishes and hidden desires, secrets to all but the dreamer and Anastasiya. Annie figured she could be more help staying here with Nikol than she would going out into the lobby, it seemed the girl with... whatever abilities she seemed to have, had that under control. She was no doctor, but certainly she could put the woman in pain into a trance, to ease her pain. Besides she wasn't going to need to push, and if they had to wait for human anesthetics they would be here all night leaving them sitting ducks for hunters as soon as they got word.
She looked at Nikol in her eyes, trying to get her attention for just a moment speaking softly not to startle her, "Ok Nikol, I know you're in a lot of pain right now, but I can make that go away in a matter of seconds. I just need you to close your eyes and focus on something, anything you want, but it has to be a desire, a wish, something of your dreams. If you can do that for even a second, I can work my magic and those babies will be out before you open your eyes again." Nodding at Nikol for approval, Annie took her open faced palm and placed it over the crown of her forehead, just above the cerebral cortex. Focusing specifically on the area of the brain responsible for content of dreams. Annie targeted the area, waiting for the slightest whim from Nikol. Placing her other hand on the woman's shoulder and just like that she was in. Unlike before, her body remained outside standing firmly by Nikol's side. Only her mind would have parted, making its way into Nikol's. Sensing the woman's desire for Promise Island, Annie pulled her resources to send Nikol a vision of a small cottage on the top of a hill, surrounded by a white picket fence. Taking their dream to a lake that the house overlooked, Annie gave Nikol the vision of her and the children's father rowing in a boat down the lake on a warm sunny day.
Apsenniel pinched the bridge of her nose and she watched Rowan go off. "Well, at least we don't have to wait now.." She gripped the doctor by the elbow, dragging him to Nikol's bedside. "Twins. Get them out. If they don't both live, neither will you." She released the doctor, crossing her arms. Looking between the people who remained, Apsenniel had faith that they would be fine now. She knew that this wasn't her place any longer, and that she would be needed with the Immortals. Stepping into the hall with Rowan, Ape handed her a sealed envelope. "If you need me, break the seal and I'll be there soon." She nodded, then stepped into the Void and back to Immortals Island, her home.

Nikol nodded towards the girl who had told her something about anesthesia. What she had said confused her, but, with the pain she was in, she was going to just let the girl do whatever she wanted to her at this point. She smiled at Lip and nodded towards her phone, he knew right away what it was she was telling him to do. He took the phone and left the room and searched through her phone for his number. He sighed and shook his head and then dialed the number and held the phone to his ear, a quick answering from the Boogeyman, led for a quick conversation letting him know what was happening, and then a click on both ends. Lip crushed the phone like they always did when they first used them, no need to be tracked by anyone.

There had been enough support that Nyx felt i all reality they should probably go... There were many souls wandering without passing over due to their absence. Smiling softly towards Nikol, Nyx waved towards her as she stood up. Nodding carefully towards Annie, Nyx headed towards the door. If anyone needed the twins again, they would know how to find them. You just have to look for death to find the duo. Walking up to Erebus, Nyx gave a gentle smile. Erebus nodded carefully towards his sister before bringing his scythe out and cutting the air in front of them. Entering the scar in time, the two disappeared. This wouldn't be their last encounter with the immortals, that was for certain.

After watching the death twins leave, Rowan entered the room once more. She knew their time would be cut shorter now, but it seemed time was something that was no longer needed. Rowan watched the children, being picked up one at a time being wrapped in fresh, warm blankets. They were so careful and quiet, even with being brought into such a corrupt world. Rowan finally allowed a small smile to slip upon her face as she took a couple steps towards the group. So this is what it is like to fall in love. Rowan was almost certain nothing could top the love a mother would have for her children at the first sight of them. Rowan watched the doctor as he tucked one baby neatly in each of Nikols arms...After all that...This was worth it. But their peace was shortly live as the door clicked open.

Appearing in the hall with the large group of people she had been teleporting, Addy looked around. Hospital Hall...what an odd location to find them at, but hell Addy didn't care. It no longer was her business. Nodding carefully towards Claire and Ian. Addy disappeared once more, taking Kyson and the twins with her back to the island. The others always knew they could return when they wanted.

Nikol smiled as she held both of her babies and then she looked over at Rowan and smiled and moved her head for her to come closer, "I know that we don't really know each other, but i've never been one to really...make friends. All that I have are my brothers...and my fiancee. So, I guess what I'm asking..is if..something ever happens to me, to take care of my kids. To take care of Thrash and Lucy. So, I guess in mundane terms, I'm asking you to be their godmother." She looked over towards Lip and smirked, "And obviously you're their god father."
Lip noticed the door open and his eyes grew in shock, Ian was bleeding out, and he jumped from the chair, away from his sister, away from the babies and he picked his brother up and ran him to the next empty room, grabbed the closest nurse and dragged her into the room, "Fix him..NOW! You think that fire girl was dangerous," He was seething, whoever had done this to his brother would pay. He would hunt them down, he would slaughter them.. "I'm ten times worse, lady. Fix him!" The nurse quickly began to work on the leg which was coated over in metal. She began crying, unable to get through the metal to look at what was happening, she pleaded for her life and Lip sighed and went into the hallway to look at Claire, she was an adapter, but, typically they could only adapt their own bodies, could she have done this? "Claire, did you do this? Tell me what happened, this nurse is going to help him....as best she can..." He said, his voice softening, his anger subsiding, and he began to feel sorry for the nurse.
The door to Nikol's room burst open and a tall, tanned, guy with dirty brown, shaggy hair and a long scar going across his eye, and down to his lip, and a midnight blue pendant around his neck on a close choker chain walked in, panicked, "Nikol! The babies! There..." His eyes widened when he saw them and he smiled and stopped talking and took the daughter in his arms, "Lucy... You're beautiful.. you're a spitting image of your mother already..." His voice became so soft and loving when she was in his arms and he couldn't help but smile. He sat down next to Nikol and looked up at the others in the room, "Hey... I guess I should introduce myself. I'm uh..The Boogeyman. I'm a reaper. Actually... " He looked around and sniffed, "Was...was Erebus here? I swear I can smell that musty old jacket of his. The guy never takes it off!" He smirked a bit and then shook his head, "Sorry, tangent, anyways, I wanted to thank you all for everything that you've done here, but...Honestly, You don't have to stay. I'm sure you've all got bigger and better things to do anyways. Again, thank you."
Lip clenched his jaw and shooed the nurse away with an apology as Ian woke up, groggy. He had lost a lot of blood, he knew, he felt dizzy, and he smiled when he saw his brother and Claire and he reached for her, "I think we should go...I'm fine now.. My body will build blood back up on its own... I hate ..." He looked around and frowned, "I really hate hospitals.. more so than being knocked down without getting back up actually.." Lip filled Ian in on the news and Ian jumped to his feet, ran to see the twins and he smiled. He nodded his head, and quickly looked to his siblings and his new, soon to be brother in law, "Well, you guys all know how to get in touch with me. I...I think it's time that you guys settle down though. You have the babies to take care of.. I'm not ready for that yet though. I...I'm going to go on an adventure. I'm not sure where too..but, I'm going. I'm going to go with Claire, I'm going to follow her to the ends of the earth, but, we know that I'll always know when you guys need me." He smiled and sat on the edge of Nikols bed as he spoke, never looking at either of his siblings, but only at the ground. He couldn't bare to look at them, he couldn't believe he was telling them goodbye.. The first time, ever to be apart from them, it was weird. But, he knew this was the right thing to do. "I love you guys. Just..be careful out there."
Nikol sat up and smiled at Ian, she took off the locket around her neck and put it onto Ian, "You know this already, but that was mom's. I want you to have it. I'm going somewhere that I'll be safe. I won't need what that can do for me anymore." She gave a soft punch to her brother, that was how the rolands showed affection, or lack thereof. Lip was next, he was baffled, he never imagined the three of them parting ways, but he guessed it was actually happening. He pulled off his brass knuckles and handed them to his brother, "Mess these up and I mess your face up little brother." Lip had multiple sets of his brass knuckles, but this was his main set. Ian knew that and he smiled and shook his head and he stood up from the bed and hugged each of his siblings, then his niece and nephew, and he nodded towards Anthony. "Well, I guess once Claire gets that bullet removed...we're gonna head out..."
Ian walked back towards the door, he was fighting back tears, and then he looked back and he lost it, "I love you guys, but, we know this isn't forever....right?" They both started crying as well and nodded, then spoke in unison, "Never Forever." It was something their parents had said to them when they were little and they would leave for a mission. It was weird hearing it from each other now though. Ian stepped into the hall now and closed the door behind him, and slid to the ground on his butt outside of the door. "Can i really do this..." He whispered and put his head into his hands, "Can I really leave them.."

Annie let the woman go from the daydream as soon as the first baby came, by then she hoped the woman's body had enough time to realize what was going on and fire the proper neurotransmitters to numb her body naturally. The babies were quite beautiful, and the mother... well, she felt a pang of jealousy watching Nikol admiring her beautiful babies. It wasn't under ideal circumstances, but the love in her eyes for her babies and what she assumed was their father as he walked in... Anastasiya wanted that.
The scene with Nikol's family being reunited was touching, a family that cared so dearly about each other, would go any length to protect one another.. it reminded Anastasiya of her own family that died trying to protect her. She should have left them when they still had the chance... but there certainly wasn't anything she could do about it now... Besides she needed to make the best of things now, these people could be her family, seeing the way they cared for each other without blood ties, smiling softly at the battered new comers Anastasiya offered them a slight wave and a brief introduction, "Hello... Im Anastasiya, you can call me Annie..." That's when she saw a fleck of light run across one of their faces.
Peeking a glance outside the hospital door, she could see the flash of the lights. They hand't quite made it inside the building yet, but she could see they were on their way. "Not to rush anyone... but it seems that the humans have called in their police. I would really prefer if we left now to avoid any confrontation... this is a hospital and there are innocent lives here..." Anastasiya nodded towards Nikol and her babies as an example of what she meant. If they could manage to leave now they could avoid a run in at all, and that would mean hundreds of lives saved. Who knows what the hunters would do, who they would kill, just to get the supernaturals into their custody.

Claire landed with a thump in the hall, falling over as she tried to keep her hold on Ian during the transport. She gave a small wave to Addy as she left again, then let herself relax slightly as she realized where they were, only to become more tense. A hospital? Why was Rowan in a hospital? Was everyone alright? Before she had time to speak aloud, Lip rushed out and took Ian away, into a hospital room. She heard shouting from him and a nurse crying, only for Lip to return to the hall and question her. "I.. yes.. I did it.." She answered to Lip, but she attempted to peek around him to see Ian. "They opened the box.." She mumbled, gathering herself and getting to her feet. She leaned heavily against the wall in the hallway while they had their brotherly moment, followed by Ian rushing to a different room.
Following him this time, she was amazed at the sight she saw. Nikol had had babies? Twins! That was, truly, amazing.. Claire frowned, hugging herself. What had happened with them all when she, Ian, and Addy had left? Nikol hadn't been pregnant before, had she? Her name pulled her from her thoughts, and what Ian said next shocked her. Had she heard that right? He'd follow her to the ends of the Earth.. The family's goodbyes were heartbreaking, even to her, an outsider. She watched as Ian left, closing the door behind him, and couldn't help but follow. "Ian.." She crouched next to him, and took his hands in hers, repeating the words he'd said when the situation was reversed. "It's okay.. It's okay.." She gave a small smile. Exactly the words he'd said to her when they'd just met. It hadn't been so long ago, but felt like ages now..

Quickly nodding to Nikol, Rowan walked up to her bed side and looked over the twins for several seconds. "Of Course Nikol, whatever you need." Row smiled gently towards the babies, allowing her mind to let the details of them sink in. Afterall, she was certain the next time she would see them. Looking back now, Rowan looked over who they had left. Claire, Ian, Annie and herself. Smiling towards Annie, Row nodded slightly. "Nice to meet you." And like that, the commotion outside their door began. Row was certain that the reaper could take care of Nikol, Lip and the babies...but as for the rest of them, Rowan had a plan. Walking over towards the small group, Rowan pushed then together in what seemed to be one group hug before mentioning carefully "We are out of time." As they disappeared into the air, a poster fell off the wall of the hospital. It was a poster of the carnival in town...and this happened to be the last thing Rowan saw. Seeing as she was copying the ability of a jumper..this is exactly where they ended up. Close seats to stage, and just in time for what seemed to be the burning the man alive show. Looking down at the other three sitting beside her, Rowan mouthed 'sorry'. It was a random place, but it was better than being arrested.. plus...the group had heard rumors of a carnival with....some incredible abilities.
