Chapter 16 Ghosts and Fairies

The day before Jessi's birthday, Leviticus came over I wasn't sure why but by the look on his face I could tell I wasn't going to be happy about. He produced a bottled exilir, "This is for Jessi, for her birthday," he said handing it over.

I took it in my hands unsure, "What is it?" I questioned.

"A bottled blessing of the fae, it'll turn her into a fairy," he explained.

I passed it back to him, "Absolutely not, Jessi does not need that, she's going to live a happy mortal life." Leviticus sighed, "Why because Jessie would have wanted her to? Mema you can't push your dreams and his dreams onto her. She doesn't want a normal life, so why are you forcing her?" Leviticus ended up leaving it on the table. His words hurt because I knew after all he was right, yet I still didn't want her to have it. When Jessi's birthday did come, I couldn't be more proud.

It was then I decided that she had a right to live the life she wanted, a right I was deprived off. Naturally Jessi was ecstatic and drank it as soon as she received it.

A few seconds later she was the proud owner of blue wings.

"I look like a bumblebee," she complained when she saw them.

I tried to hold back a giggle, "Be careful what you wish for," was all I said.

Regardless Jessi was still pretty happy and nothing could really dampen that. The next day we all attended her graduation and Jessi was voted Most Likely to Take Over the World, with her determination she probably could.

She moved out the next day I had no idea where she was going, but according to her their was a whole world out there.

Our other fairy in the house was causing all sorts of mischief, she rather liked playing fairy tricks on a unsuspecting Alexandra.

There wasn't a whole lot I could do about it because Aria didn't listen to me at all. However it didn't affect their relationship badly as Alexander and Alexandra both agreed to take her out trick or treating.

Although I think it was more to do with the fact she wouldn't leave them alone if they didn't. My pregnancy began to show and this was meet by a phone call from Leviticus.

I knew he had settled down with a girl Bianca Crumplebottom who was witch but his news shocked me, they had had a daughter. It didn't make sense vampires couldn't have children, except by me. However Salavador the guildmaster of the guild of witches guessed that like Alexander who could turn at will, the effects of the curse weren't as strong on my children. I hurried over to see Venus Crumplebottom my first grandchild.

It made me feel older than I should, however she had inherited her father's vampire genes. Everyone was waiting with baited breathes to see how she would turn out, a witch and a vampire breeding should never have worked so their offspring had the potential to answer a lot of questions. I had to admit I felt sorry for the little girl, but with Leviticus as a father I knew she'd turn out alright.

Alexandra was the only human child in the house at the moment and I think it made it hard for her. Most of the kids except for Alexander thought it was funny to use their tricks on her, including Carlos.

Ash decided he wanted to try out a new spell on an unwilling Alexandra the effect was not expected she turned into a toad.

She ended up spending all night looking for someone to cure it and when she finally did she ended being brought home by the police.

I was furious until of course she told me why, in which case I decided to let it go.

She had developed a hobby of windsurfing however and I had taught her and Alexander to drive.

Ash was doing well at the Guild of Witches, apparently far surpassing the other students and had been rewarded a new wand.

Eventually I was ready to give birth again and I welcomed my second lot of twins into the world a little boy called Jasper and a little ghost boy called Casper.

A few months after they had been born Leviticus called saying that a new vampire had moved into town a good one that I might be interested in meeting. I'll admit I didn’t like the idea of my son matchmaking but I guess I preferred it to getting a call from Luciano or Vincenzo who I couldn't even think about without blushing. I went over and introduced myself to him, his name was Desmond and to my surprise he was actually friendly it could have been an act of course but I decided to trust it.
