Rose stared down at the crying infant in her hands. Her forehead was smeared with sweat and her face was red and weary looking. Her body ached and burned with leftover pain, though the newly made mother didn't seem to care. She stared down at the blue bundle that was her baby boy, her face a mask of awe and bewilderment. How could something so tiny, so defenseless and naïve, hold the entire world at his little finger? Well, half the world. The other half belonged to the petite pink bundle that rested in her husbands' strong arms. She gazed upon him and her daughter, and a single tear fell down her cheek. Rosemarie Hathaway was known to do the impossible. And impossible included giving birth to twins from her husband who happened to be a dhampire. Genetically speaking it was impossible. But rose has proved yet again, that nothing, and no one, can keep her from her hearts' desires.

The baby opened his mouth, his nose scrunched up and his eyes closed, and began to cry. Rose jumped a little, surprised by the sound of his wailing voice, strong and firm, yet soft, and fragile. Her heart soared for the child, and she rocked him back and forth in her arms, humming some distant melody. The baby's eyes closed shut as she lulled him into sleep. Dimitri set his daughter to sleep in the hospital crib and went to wrap his arm around his wife's shoulders. She smiled up at him and handed their son to him.

He set their son next to his sister and went back to rose. He cupped her cheek and kissed her lips. "You did amazing today Roza. I love you so much."

Rose smiles tiredly against his lips and run her hand on the back of his neck. "So did you." She said, pulling away for a breath. "No man I know would have survived that birth. I have to give you some credit."

Dimitri chuckled and kicked off his shoes. He hopped up and into the bed with ease and when he found Rose under the covers he hugged her to his chest lovingly.

"so how are we going to call them?" asked Dimitri. Rose bit her lip as she thought about the names she had considered. Nothing seemed fit; nothing seemed to match, to feel right. She thought about her family, and her friends, and suddenly an idea popped into her head.

"How about Nicolai?" she asked. In her mind, his image swirled. She'd met Nicolai countless times after Russia, and his image and personality, that of a strong warrior that had a great heart, loyalty for his people and protecting of those who he loved. "Yes" she said, nodding to herself. "Definitely Nicolai"

Dimitri seemed to understand what was going on inside her head and smiled at her. "I think that the greatest choice you could have thought. And for our daughter-" he said that word with such affection, such intensity that Rose felt her heart give a painful tug in her chest. Our daughter, He had said. our, for them both to share. Something, no, someone, that was created by pure love and hope. "How about Nala?" he asked suddenly.

Rose lifted her eyebrow, well, attempted to at least, and asked "Nala?" Dimitri smiled and nodded. "It means lioness. Fierce and wild, Like you." His eyes twinkled with adoration as he gazed at her face steadily.

"Nala." Rose muttered to herself. "It's perfect." She said beaming.

He smiled and tucked a piece of her long hair behind her ear. "Sleep, Roza. You need to rest. You've done enough for today." But she rolled her eyes. "I did not spend nine months of not protecting Lissa and looking like a watermelon so I couldn't get SOME reward after it" she huffed, half annoyed and half joking. He laughed and tightened his grip on her waist. His lips found hers as they always did and she felt her blood burn in her vines and that tingling sensation that his skin always brought. He pulled away to catch his breath and looked at her pointedly.

A nurse walked in and skidded to a halt at the scene before her. "I-i-I'm sorry to disturbed you. But the babies need to be in the nursery to be checked and redid for sleep"

Rose nodded and got up slowly, winching at the pain that shot through her body. 'Pain killers my ass' she thought. She walked over to the sleeping twins and kissed each of their foreheads tenderly before handing the crib to the nurse. When the nurse was gone she sighed and went back into the hospital bed to cuddle with Dimitri.

She groaned and fake glared. "Fine, I'll go to sleep. But you're staying with me." She lowered herself to the pillow and turned her back to him, allowing him to wrap his arms around her waist and curve his body against hers. His hand sneaked under her head and they both fell asleep in a matter of seconds.

Back at the nursery, the two nurses changed the babies into comfortable cloths and changed their diapers. They made small talk and found something to discuss here and there but between that their focus was on the two babies that slept soundly on the changing table.

"Heavy sleepers, these two." One of them said to the other, fastening the diaper.

The other chuckled and scooped up the girl. "I'm going to take her to doctor Brown. I don't like the way she's breathing." She looked worriedly at the girl, whose breaths came out in little huffs of air and walked swiftly out of the room, the door closing softly behind her. The other nodded and set the boy in a crib by the other sleeping infants.

She turned to a weeping girl, a few days old at the most, on the other side of the room.

The door opened silently, and a figure stepped in. he walked like a ghost up to the now named, Nicolai and gazed down on him. The nurse was having trouble calming the howling child down and was slowly rocking her back and forth with her back to the stranger.

The man smiled, revealing a row of perfectly white teeth, with two long and pointed fangs sticking out of the perfection. His blood red eyes focused on the baby and he lifted him up from the crib to eye level. "Yes" he whispered. "You're the one I'm here for."

He checked the tag again, confirming that the baby he was sent to bring, Nicolai Hathaway really was this infant. When he was sure, he his opened coat and cautiously put the baby inside. With one hand he held the baby inside his jacket and with the other he smashed the window, allowing him to fade into the night as if he was never there.

The only proof that he was there, was the blood curling scream of the nurse that stepped inside with little Nala nestled between her arms.
