As Faustus bowed down to me a mere witch it made me laugh "get up for Satan's sake" I hissed as he scrambled to his feet "keep the coven safe for Satan's sake and don't fuck it up" I said just to rile him up, I left the church of night and headed home to my room where saint followed closely behind "the plan is in place girl she will be signing the book of the beast in no time" I said with a small giggle however I did feel bad I haven't seen Kalvin I wonder where he would be? Maybe dorians? I teleported to dorians grey room and there he was Kalvin sat at the bar drinking "Kalvin we need to speak" I said and he looked up "about time you came and found me I thought you would have been sooner" he said and I sighed "I would have but hell was calling my name and about the other day I have some explaining to do" I replied and I sat next to him placing his hand in mine. "I can explain everything can we go somewhere private?" I asked and he nodded as we headed back to my house not the spell man mortuary. "Where are we? who's house is this?" He asked as I opened the door "welcome home" I said with a smile "home?" He muttered "you see with the twins coming I though we needed our own space so I started doing up this house which I bought years ago" I said and he smiled "for us?" He said and I smiled "yes for us as a family and about the other day I am sorry if you were scared of me my father had transferred the royal powers to me and I wasn't able to control them hence the outburst" I tried to explain and he took my hand with a smile plastered on his face "I was scared at first yes but then I realised how beautiful it was never ever will we be apart Astrid your my one and only I love you" he said then kissing me passionately however I felt a surge of pain shoot through my whole body "Kalvin it's time" I said and he shot me a glance "time for what?" He asked and I smiled "to give birth my waters have just broken" I answered and he rushed me back to the spell man mortuary.

Kalvin rushed me upstairs to my room placing me on my bed as he carried me bridal style into the house as I screamed in pain "what is going on?" Asked my mother as she rushed into my room "what does it look like mother the girls are wanting to make their appearance." I screamed as another contraction put me through complete agony.  I kept screaming in pain as the contractions got worse and worse aunt Hilda being my mid wife as my mother and Kalvin held onto my hands, tears began to run down my face I had never been through such excruciating pain "push my dear" said my aunt Hilda as a contraction came and I pushed as hard as I could until I heard a small cry of my first born child I looked at my mother and Kalvin who both had tears running down their face not sad tears but tears of joy however the pain carried on and as Kalvin let go of my hand he picked up our first born little girl smiling and cooing at her he looked down at me whilst I was pushing "meet Luna zerelda  Morningstar" said Kalvin and I smiled as my mother cried and I pushed harder and harder as the pain was still excruciating and then I heard the cries of my second child my little girl. My aunt Hilda handed her to me after she wrapped her up in a small blanket and I looked down at my brown eyed and brown haired little girl "meet nova hildegarde Morningstar" I said as my aunt looked at me she was astonished.

I was on my bed tears running down my face as I looked at both of my beautiful girls, Kalvin was just as emotional as me he was a mess. I can finally say I am a mother now however I do wish Elda was here but under the circumstances she isn't I'm going to guard there lives with mine nobody is going to hurt my daughters Nobody! My aunt took them away to make sure that they are okay with weight since they were premature however I was so tired my eyes just closed and never opened back up until the next day I woke up and nobody was in my room not even the twins I quickly got up and searched the house finding Kalvin and my mum with the twins in the kitchen "you shouldn't be up yet" said my mother and I laughed "remember my body heals quicker than the average witch" I said with a laugh the baby weight had disappeared over night what a lucky day I have today! I picked up Luna as Kalvin had nova and I fed her bottled milk as my milk hadn't come through yet.

But then it flashed through my eyes the red angel of death and the green dale thirteen was on their way I better pretend to help now because I can't possibly leave my children whilst I go to hell especially if the red angel goes after first borns why does everything have to work against me at times? I placed Luna in her Moses basket and looked around "I'll be back in a minute" I said to Kalvin as I headed to the outside porch to have a cigarette "what's wrong?" Asked my mother as she came up behind me and I smiled awkwardly " as soon as it strikes twelve when witching hour commences be prepared to fight the green dale thirteen and the red angel are coming tonight" I said and she looked astonished "can you stop them?" Asked my mum and I looked at her "I would be normally however after just giving birth I can feel everything drained I can do my best but Sabrina at this point may be stronger than me" I replied making sure I covered my back and the plan would still go ahead everything I just said there was lies I had all of my power I just need them to think I don't and the only way it can be stopped is by signing the book of the beast for Sabrina to create hell fire to get rid of the green dale thirteen.

"You know Astrid those two little girls in there are just perfect I can't imagine them being any more perfect" said my mother as she gave me an unannounced hug "yes well they are royalty" I said laughing and my mother joined "so? When are you and father getting back together I know you still have a thing for him" I said taking a puff of my cigarette "never Astrid I wish you would stop thinking that when we were together it was toxic not good for either of us" she said making me laugh "toxic how? Is it because he was giving you the ride of your life all the time?" I said making my mother cringe "something like that" she said wanting to get it over and done with. I laughed and finished up before going back inside however I just looked at my mum she knew I was hiding something she just didn't know what. I went back inside to see my family however since everyone was around the table I knew now was the time to break the news that me, the twins and Kalvin were moving out however I do know that most of the time we probably will be here "so I have some news............me and the girls along with Kalvin and saint will be moving out" I said and everyone just looked at us Sabrina the most "your leaving me" Sabrina said and it did bring a tear to my eye "no I would never leave you Sabrina I am simply just moving into my own house for my small family now anyways you still have Ambrose aunt Hilda and my mum, you'll see me more frequently anyways don't fret" I said as I went across and gave her a big hug "when is this happening?" Asked Ambrose and I smiled "tomorrow Cousin" I answered and he looked rather unnerved about it. My mother and aunt didn't say a word because they knew this day was coming sooner rather than later however it did seem sadder than I thought!

Sometimes i do look back on the last couple of months and wonder what my life would have been if i was actually Edward and Diana's daughter but then i wouldn't have my girls and my mother would only be my aunt and i think i would miss my father being my father. I suppose i would not be the person i am the strong, brave independant young women i am however sometimes i do think that all those qualities i have it just for show and inside i am a young girl who is very scared. As i sat at the table i looked at Sabrina "you need to warn all of your mortal friends Brina they need to take cover tonight we need to get all of greendale in the same place what about causing a tornado? because the high school is the shelter isn't it?" i asked and she looked at me "i didn't know you paid that much attention Astrid?" she said and i laughed "i may not show it but i do pay attention however i need to protect my girls so i will be able to help you guys at the door to keep it shut." i replied making my mother laugh "we will get right onto that and Sabrina you go tell your friends" said my mother and i heard the cries of my baby girls and i got up heading through to them, i soothed them by lifting them up and cradling them both in my arms and a silent tear rolled down my cheek "girls the secret i know could betray everyone in my family i need to save Sabrina from herself because there is something else in the works that my father isn't telling me, yes she needs to sign the book but there is something else that seems to be a stepping stone." i said soothing them and took them through to the kitchen as they were giggling away. My mother took Luna as i kept nova cradled in my arms this secret is burdening me not that i mind that but its weighing me down the guilt i am feeling is getting worse i need to confide in someone other than my father or Lilith.

Maybe Kalvin would understand he has a dark streak in him i know he will rule with me one day he just needs to see it and envision it before he says yes. "Kal how about we take the twins for a walk?" i asked and he nodded his head and we got both luna and nova ready and into each of their prams. We headed off into the woods and began to chat "you obviously need to talk so come on spill it?" he said and i sighed heavily " your right i have been holding onto this secret for far too long and it has kept me isolated" i replied as we stopped on the track for a moment as he looked into my eyes "so come on tell me?" he said and i smiled "would rule hell with me i know its a step up from mischief at the academy but what do you think about it?" i asked and he smiled " i thought you would never ask" he said hugging me and i laughed "geez i thought you were going to say no" i replied with such relief. "so come on with this secret?" he urged and i took a big deep breath "now this goes no further than you and i since we rule over hell right?" i said and he nodded his head that he understood " my father let onto me that Sabrina isn't a spellman at all" i said and he looked shocked "so edward isnt her father?" he asked and i nodded "well who is?" he questioned "my father the dark lord" i said and he looked at me opened his mouth to say something then closed it again for a few moments "so she is biologically your half sister" he said "yes she is however for the last couple weeks i have been tasked with getting sabrina to sign the book of the beast." i said and he nodded " i kind of guessed that the greendale thirteen and the red angel of death was your idea." he said making me laugh "well I had to get a threat big enough to force her hand into signing and this will Lilith is on bored with me" I said and Kal just looked "Lilith?" He questioned and I giggled "miss wardwell is Lilith" I said and he looked shocked but not surprised "fair enough so when shall I be crowned king" he said cracking a joke and it made me smile once Sabrina signs the book because then I will have a clear plan on what my father is planning on doing" I said and he kissed me "it's too early to try for more Kal" I said making him laugh "oh I know but I can still try" he answered being cheeky "now all this stays under wraps am I clear about Sabrina especially" I said and he nodded his head "we better get back otherwise my mother will have our heads" I said and we both started to head back to the spellman mortuary with Luna and nova.

We got back to the house where everyone was and I switched on the mortal radio to see if the tornado warning had been put in place which it had and everyone was to report at Baxter high for safety. However Sabrina came running in the door she looked upset however I could see she was trying so hard to not show her emotions she needs to work on that! I had a funny feeling that it would be because of Harvey but I kept my mouth shut and didn't say a word, we prepared ourselves for night fall and for witching hour to begin so we got ourselves down to Baxter high where the twin began to gather. However I had to ensure the twins safety so me and Kal decided we would call upon my father and get him to look after them "father I call upon you" I said as I snuck outside with the twins, he appeared that second "what is it child?" He asked as he seen the push chairs " father the plan has been enacted for Sabrina to sign the book however I need to cover my track by slightly helping them to the best I can because I have said I am weak after giving birth so what I am asking is if you could look after the twins whilst I carry out the plan" I said and he smiled "of course I will Astrid" he said "thank you so much father I would like you to meet your granddaughters nova and Luna Morningstar" I said and he hugged me which made me speechless "they are perfect now run along you have work to be doing and I am proud that Kalvin will be reigning by your side" he said and he took the twins back to pandemonium.

I ran inside to help put the barrier spell on the doors which needed, me my mother, aunt Hilda, Sabrina and Kalvin we all held hands and chanted stopping the green dale thirteen for entering the building but then my mother disappeared so it was just the four of us. However the plan was working I was not even using half my strength and then Lilith came in "Sabrina this is not working there is only one other way to save the town and your family" she said and I low key smiled "what is it?" Sabrina asked and I looked at Lilith "if I was to guess Sabrina it would be to sign the book of the beast to revive your full powers as a witch" I said with a sigh to keep my cover "are you sure that will only be the way to get us out of this situation?" She questioned "Sabrina if you don't do this I am not able to hold on for long I can feel my body beginning to weaken" I said and that made her make her choice. She left the circle and headed with Lilith and went to go and sign the book of the beast my mission was complete. I fell to the ground to keep my cover and my aunt rushed to my side "keep going with the spell yous can do it I'll be fine" I said before I transported myself to pandemonium "hello father" I said as he sat in my throne with the girls "I never knew how perfect a child could be at this age Astrid they are simply out of this world" he said in awe of the twins making me laugh "well I have good news" I said and he looked at me waiting for me to tell him "Sabrina is on her way to sign the book of the beast to create hellfire in order to get rid of the red angel of death and the green dale thirteen" I said and he smiled big "I knew I could entrust you Astrid with that mission and I am proud to call you my daughter and queen of hell" he said making me blush.

I quickly took the girls back to the mortuary and I put them in their Moses baskets and jumped into bed to keep my cover. a few moments later my family burst into my room my mother at the front "are you okay darling?" She said placing her hand on my forehead checking my temperature "I am fine mother just weak" I said with a sigh "thank you for doing your best to help Astrid it means everything but it's all dear with I sighed the book and will be attending the academy full time now" said Sabrina and I smiled getting out of bed and stood up and hugged her "well done sister, I know it was hard for you I am proud you saved the whole town" I said having to take a seat again but I stood up shortly after and Kalvin was at my side holding me up just for show. Kal put me back in bed in front of everyone "I think we should let Astrid rest she is really weak" he said and I smiled and everyone left but him and he crawled into bed and I turned to face him "thank you for working a long my side Kal it means the world to me" I said kissing him and he smiled "Astrid I love you to the moon and back nothing will stop me from being here" he said and I laid my head on his chest.
