Intro
It's been five years since Bloom and Sky got married. Sky's the King of Eraklyon and Bloom's the Queen of Sparks. They have two daughters, twins, named Hope and Glory, hence the title of the story. Hope takes after Sky the most. She's sporty, strong, has blond hair and her magic power is sports. Glory on the other hand takes after Bloom more. She's quiet, gentle and has Bloom's fiery red hair. Her power is also the Dragonfire. Because both Bloom and Sky run kingdoms they spend most of their time apart with Hope living in Eraklyon and Glory in Sparks. But occasionally they do meet up for a family dinner or something. And that's where the story begins.
Chapter 1
The carriage from Sparks pulled up to front door of the Eraklyon palace. Bloom and Glory got out of the carriage door and walked up to the door.
"You look lovely tonight." This was said by Sky. He was commenting on Blooms floor length blue, silk dress.
"Thank-you baby" Bloom replied as she kissed him on the cheek calling him by her pet name for him. Their welcome was then interrupted by a small blond 5-year-old running out of the door into the arms of her twin sister.
"Shall we go in?" Sky said as he held out his hand for Bloom to hold. Bloom took it and they started to walk to the dining room closely followed by Hope and Glory.
When all four of them were sat down eating a main course meal of salmon and caviar Bloom took the chance to talk to Sky privately as the twins were preoccupied talking about what they had been doing while they had been apart.
"How has she been doing with her studies?"
"Who Hope? She's been doing alright I suppose but she'd much rather be running around outside with her sister. What about Glory?"
"She spends a lot of the time practising her powers but it's only really because it's the only thing that keeps her mind of you and Hope. I hate having to keep them apart."
"I know, I know." Sky reached his hand under the table and held onto Bloom's for a moment until the waiters came in to take away their empty plates. When they had had their pudding of death by chocolate cake they all decided to call it a night. Once Bloom and Sky had put Hope and Glory to bed (in Hopes room with Glory sleeping on a bed that Bloom had magiced up) they too went to bed and, well, let's just say dot, dot, dot shall we. (I'm sure you get what I mean.)
When Bloom and Sky woke up the next morning, they got dressed and went downstairs. After eating breakfast by themselves and sitting in the living room reading alone for 2 hours Bloom and Sky decided to go and check on the twins.
"It's not like Hope to stay asleep this long" Sky said as opened the bedroom door and held it open for Bloom.
"Neither Glory, she's the one normally waking me up, not the other way round! Hope, Glory, time to wake up now." By now Bloom and Sky were standing in between the two beds. "Ahhhhhh!" Suddenly Bloom let out the loudest scream. "My babys!"
