Life has been tough these last six years, the love of my life walked out on me leaving me with something no one ever thought was possible. I ended up pregnant after that night six years ago after we had sex in that dreaded cabin. That was one of the worst and best nights of my life; the worst because it had left me heart broken but the best since I was gifted with two little miracles nine months later. I had done horrible things to myself when he left, I still had the scars to so for it. Thank God had had two spirit using moroi best friends to heal me after that, I could've lost my children. After graduation from St. Vlad's I became Lissa, I'm also bonded to her, guardian, we moved to Court and I got my rock back. No Dimitri never came back after he left to become Tasha Ozera's guardian, Adrian had cared for me and made me feel loved again. He became my best friend since Lissa was always too preoccupied with her training to become queen of the moroi and dhampir race. He was there for me the whole way during my pregnancy, he went to every doctor appointment, bought all necessities I would end up needing for the twins and he took it upon himself to take over the role that Dimitri should have, the father.

I stretched in my bed feeling strong arms tighten around me. All I did was smile. Adrian and I shared an apartment across from Lissa and Christian. I turned so I was facing Adrian and gave him a quick kiss and sliding out from his grasp to check on the kids. I quietly opened their door to see them both still sleeping peacefully. My children were so beautiful, they were a perfect mixture of Dimitri and I. Esmrelda Charlotte had long brown hair that she loved to have braided and Thomas Adrian had short curly hair, both of them had Dimitri's chocolate brown eyes that always pained my heart when I looked at them. Since Adrian had stepped up to be their father I had decided to put his name on the birth certificates so their last name was Ishvakov. He was the best father any child could ask for; even if they weren't his we still told everyone they were. My babies of course knew that he wasn't their father but they never cared, he was all they had ever known and ever would.

When I had told Lissa and in turn all my close friends, Christian; Eddie and Mia, about who the father was and what had transpired between the two of us they were completely pissed. I made them all promise to never tell him that he had children; he didn't deserve to know them, plain and simple. Anytime that Lissa and Christian had to go visit Tasha and in turn Dimitri, I made a point to stay home.

I had made my way into the kitchen by now so I could start breakfast for my angels and my new love, Adrian. I started making French toast and scrambled eggs with bacon, of course with the smell of food filling the apartment my little boy would wake up.

I heard the pitter patter of his little feet making their way sleepily into where I was.

"Momma, whatcha makin'?" Tommy asked in his cute little voice.

Picking him up to hug him I said, "Your favorite baby, French toast."

"Yummy!" he said jumping up and down.

"Go wake up your sister and daddy."

I heard him make his way into our bedroom first and then I chuckled hearing him climb on the bed.

"Daddy!" Jump. "Wake!" Jump. "Up!" Jump, jump, jump.

"Okay, okay big man I'm up. Where's your mother?" Adrian asked.

"She's making breakfast; she said to come wake you up then sissa."

"Well, what are you waiting for, go wake her up, but not like me. You know your sister's not a morning person."

I heard Tommy run into his and Esmrelda's room. "ELLIE! WAKE UP, SLEEPYHEAD!"

Adrian had made his way into the kitchen where I was still standing by the stove.

"Morning my Little Dhampir," he said wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my neck.

"Good morning to you too sweetie," I said leaning into him.

Rose, please don't get mad. Christian just got a call from Tasha saying they were coming for a visit, here. They'll be here in an hour. Lissa said through the bond.

My heart dropped at that, so did the spatula I was holding.

"Rose," Adrian said turning me around to look at him. "What's wrong?"

"He's coming. Here. One hour," I managed to stammer out.
