Beauty and the Beast

The End

Chapter Twenty Three - The End

The walls of his room rigged with the bumps of the cement from when it was built. The ceiling was smooth as the side of a blade and has been the only thing I've looked at. The walls and the inside of my eyelids were the only other things. Xavier has come and tried to make me get up; has tried to make me let go of my stomach and make my tears flow.

"Baby, you are crying over something that didn't happen. Baby, please... Please, stop."

I only turned my back on him and wept for my would be children; wept for the future that slipped past my finger tips. Eventually, He left, leaving me with myself. Every once in a while, I hear the steps of the wolves walking by stopping at my door. I wish they would stop.

After a few days, there was a knock on the door. Xavier wouldn't knock and every one else is too scared to come in. The door opened with a creek, and heavy footsteps sounded through the room.

"Oh, darling. My sweet sweet Anna." My eyes frantically sought out the owner of the voice.

"Daddy!" I threw my arms around him, the most I had moved in days and he wrapped me in a hug. I breathed in his scent, memories surrounded with him flew through my mind. "Daddy..."

He sat me down and the bed sank towards him when he sat next to me. He left his arm around me and let me lean on his shoulder.

"Sweety, what's wrong?"

"They took from me daddy. They took my future and my body. I don't know how to get passed this." My voice was coarse from not using it in the last week.

"They didn't take your future sweet heart. They just altered its course. Those bastards did however, take your body and that was wrong.... But you need come to terms with the fact that it happened and face it. You can't change the past but you can get overcome it." He looked at me, pleading for me to get better. "I don't want you to waste your life in this room, thinking about babies that were never born or conceived. I want you to live your life..."

"But my babies..." I whispered out.

"You can still have babies; adopting is always an option. You would be helping a motherless child and you love helping people. You will always grieve for your future with your babies but why not go live a different one with different babies?"

He's right. I need to stop mourning the no longer possible future and go live with Xavier. I can adopt babies and be their mother. I can do this.

"Okay."

I stood up and walked out of the room with my father, holding his hand as we walked down the hall. I felt safe again with him by my side, like I was 5 again and we were walking to the library.

Xavier was pacing at the bottom of the stairs. His facial expression flooded with relief when he saw me walking down in my yellow pajamas with my dad by my side. He took my hand and pulled me into his arms. He started to sway side to side, just holding me.

"I heard what you and your dad talked about, and I cannot wait to adopt babies with you. They will be human or werewolf. Whatever you want. The pack will welcome them with open arms and we will live happily ever after. "

He grinned at me and just started to dance. The weight of my shoulders was lifted as I started to imagine the children that could soon be in our lives. I held onto Xavier's shoulders and rested my head on his chest and danced.
