Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam)

-CLARA-

Shock was an understatement of how I felt at that moment. Damon and I stared at the screen, not saying a word. I was having twins? Not one child but two?

"Oh goddess, we're having twins" Damon whispered mostly to himself but I heard him loud and clear.

"Are you sure? Maybe..." My voice shook as I spoke. What if there was a mistake? I didn't want to be excited only for my excitement to be diminished.

"You're having twins, Mrs Donovan but if you want to be extra sure then we can wait for the test results to come out but I can tell you that you're having twins" The doctor assured me with a kind smile on her face.

"We are having twins baby" Damon said as he bent down and wrapped his arms around me. The feeling of his warmth immediately brought tears to my eyes as I wrapped my arms around his neck.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

It was real, we were having twins! We stayed in that position for a while, lost in our thoughts and hadn't even realized when the doctor had left us. After a while, Damon pulled away and sat down next to me on the bed. He reached forward and caressed my face before placing a kiss on my lips. "Why do I feel like the moon goddess blessed us with two because we lost one?" I questioned softly as Damon kissed away my tears. "That's exactly what I think as well but whatever it is, I'm so grateful to the moon goddess and so grateful for you. Are you nervous?" He asked as he caressed my cheek and I nodded.

"I'm kind of nervous but I know for sure that as long as you're here with me, I'll be okay" I replied before resting my head on his chest.

I could literally feel the happiness radiating off Damon but I knew he was trying to suppress it so he wouldn't overwhelm me which I was grateful for. This was a lot to take in.

After getting my test results, it finally became real. We were having twins!

The doctor had asked if we wanted to know their genders but I didn't want to and Damon went with what I wanted. After a while, Damon and I left and I had fallen asleep halfway due to exhaustion. I couldn't begin to explain how many emotions I was feeling at that moment. Fear? Happiness? Uncertain? Anger? Sadness? I wasn't even sure anymore and because of this, I didn't know how to react and I knew my lack of reaction was giving Damon mixed signals.

I didn't need to be awake to know we had gotten to our room. As soon as my body touched the soft bed, I blinked my eyelids open and grabbed onto Damon's hand before he could leave.

"I wasn't going anywhere. I wanted to take off your shoe" He assured me, making me sigh.

"I am happy, you know I am right? I'm just scared. With everything going on... twins? What if..."

"Nothing is going to happen to you or our babies. I don't want you worrying yourself about things like that. Don't you trust me to take care of you?" He questioned.

"Of course I do but..."

"But nothing. I'm willing to give up my life or sacrifice any fucking body to protect you and our babies, Clara. Please trust me on this, Clara" He uttered softly, making me sigh.

"I trust you more than anyone in the world and I know you have the power to protect both me and our children but I don't want you getting hurt in the process. If you leave me..." I choked on my words as tears began to roll down my cheeks.

"I don't plan on leaving you, Clara.

We'll get past this pretty soon and I can't wait to meet our children. Luca and I will start thinking of a plan tonight so rest assured that

everything will be taken care of. Rest now, I can see how tired you are" He murmured as he slowly got into bed with me after taking off his shoe.

I let out a sigh of contentment as I laid my head on his chest and placed my arm on his waist.

"Do you think I should try to talk to my uncle? Maybe I could..."

"Don't ever suggest that again or you'll make me really mad❞ Damon interrupted and the coldness in his tone made me shiver.

"I'm just trying to help. We need all the information we can get❞ I murmured against his chest.

"The most you can do to help us is by keeping yourself safe. If I know you're safe, I can act more on this. Let's stop talking about this now, go to sleep. We'll talk when you wake up" He uttered and I sighed, completely understanding where he was coming from.

"Can we not tell anyone, at least for now? I still haven't been able to process everything" I told him and he placed a kiss on my forehead.

"Of course baby. Don't worry about anything, I'll handle everything and make sure the world is safe before our children get here. I promise you that"

He murmured then raised my chin with his finger and slammed his lips on mine.

Soon after, I fell asleep to the soft

rhythm of his heart beat but when I opened my eyes, I glanced around in confusion. I was standing outside the pack gate, a lot of people were running around me but I stood frozen. What was going on? How did I get here?

I tried my best to move but my leg just wouldn't budge and that was when my eyes landed on Damon.

He stared at me with a smile and suddenly came running towards me. I smiled back but that smile quickly dropped when Damon suddenly exploded, pieces of his flesh and blood splattering on my body.

My ears immediately began to ring and the ache in my heart got so unbearable as I tried to understand what was going on. People were screaming around me, I was screaming but I couldn't hear anything.

My legs finally moved but then my knees gave in as I fell to the ground, calling out Damon's name. There was nothing of him that remained, there was nothing I could hold. Nothing!

“Clara, you're bleeding. We need to get her to the hospital" Someone yelled from a distance and when I glanced down, I was in fact bleeding in between my thighs. My blood has slowly mixed in with Damon's on the ground.

"No, not my babies. No!" I screamed as loud as I could and could faintly hear someone calling my name.

The call became louder till I was finally jolted awake. I sat up straight immediately as I breathed heavily while being heavily drenched in sweat.

"Damon, you're here" I choked out as I grabbed his face and inspected his body to make sure he was okay.

"I'm here, I'll always be here. It was a nightmare, okay? Come here" He murmured as pulled me into his embrace and I hugged him tightly as I cried on his chest.

Why did it feel so real then? Now I was even more scared of what the future held for us...
