Chapter 1

Alex's POV

Eight years. I have been the Russo Family Wizard for about eight years now. Time does fly when you are having fun, and boy, have the past years been fun.

I married Mason! I married him! I am officially Alex Greyback and have been for some time now. We got married when we were twenty. Some people say we were too young, but I disagree. We had an amazing wedding. Everyone was there; my parents, my brothers, Harper, Zeke, Juliet and lots of Mason's family that came over from England just to see us get married. Harper was my maid of honour, and Juliet and Sophie were my bridesmaids. Sophie is Max's girlfriend. They met a few months after the competition and connected straight away. She's an ex-wizard as well.

Max has had a bit happen to him. He took over the sub-shop once he finished school and now serves 'real food.' Who knew that owning a sub-shop would be something that Max was so good at? Now him and Sophie live in an apartment close by together and work there together.

Back to Mason and me, we had a honeymoon in Hawaii and, well, I kind of got pregnant. We bought a massive apartment that has two levels and an amazing view of New York. I told my family that I was pregnant a few weeks after we got back. They were pretty excited. Harper was full on jumping like a kangaroo when she heard. That was the best reaction we got! Mum and Dad were okay about it, the same with Mason's parents, but they thought we'd wait a few years before we had children, not straight away. Everyone else was happy, but Justin wasn't.

Justin has been an extra-large size of grumpy pants. He wasn't always like this, but a few days after Mason and I got married, Juliet dumped him. She says that Justin was just not as involved in their relationship as he used to be and that his job was more important than her. She left him and no one has seen her since. Justin also doesn't like the fact that I got married before he did and now, I'm having kids before he is. He's got over it now, but he hasn't dated anyone since him and Juliet split.

Also Harper and Zeke broke up, but are still friends. It's like they never dated. Weird. Harper has gone back to liking Justin again, but in a different way. She's not as obsessed as she used to be, but she still likes him. She owns a shop now and has her own clothing line called, 'Finkle Fashion.'

So I had a baby girl. Mason and I named her Amelia Rose; but we usually just call her Millie for short. She is like Mason and I in every way. She has my brown, wavy hair and Mason's gorgeous smile. Mason's favourite feature is that she has my eyes, my brown eyes which he just adores. She's just turned five years old and has developed her own little bubbly personality. She is the sweetest little girl in the universe and Mason and I love her to bits. Unfortunately she has inherited some of my, let's say, naughty habits which is very frustrating since she's pulling tricks on me that I used to pull on my parents!

Also, let's not forget this, Max and Sophie got married about a month ago. Their wedding was so cute. Millie was the flower girl. She was so excited to wear a frilly dress.

And there is another thing I should point out. I'm pregnant, again. This time, twins! I'm having a boy and a girl and I'm about seven months so far, two to go!

What about wizards and werewolves? Well, so far Millie is neither, but I don't think that she'll be getting her powers soon, or phasing into a werewolf. I got mine when I was twelve and Mason first phased when he was eleven. But, Justin told us that Wizards and Werewolves usually produce extremely powerful children. Imagine, a wizard/werewolf child of our own!

Oh and one more thing, then I would have summed up the past few years.

There is a Wizard World War happening.

'Mrs Greyback? Mrs Greyback!'

I awoke from my memory at the sound of a cranky woman's voice. I scanned the room and the objects filling it. Where was I? I looked to my right, where Millie was sitting in a chair next to me with Mason next to her. I suddenly remembered where I was. I was in Millie's principal's office. Everything came back to me; Mason and I got a call from Mrs Dean- the cranky school principal at Millie's school. She'd done something bad. Again. And we had to come in and talk about it with the principal. Then when we got back here, I must have drifted off to sleep from boredom…

'Mrs Greyback?'

'Yes?' I replied, still a bit unsure of what happened.

'Are you with us?' she asked, obviously annoyed. I took some of her time away. Oops.

I turned around to face the door. 'I think so?' I lied. Mason helped me out.

'Sorry, it's just a pregnancy side-effect,' Mason explained to her, hoping she'd buy it.

'Hmmm,' she mumbled, not buying it. She's never had children of her own so she might somehow get it, I hope. 'Anyway, as you would know,' she paused to straighten a pen on her desk, 'I called you at half past one this afternoon due to an incident that involved your daughter during class.'

'I'm aware of that.' I glanced at Millie who sunk further into her seat.

Mrs Dean took a breath and stood up. 'Amelia is here for a number of infringements. One - she was talking out of turn and interrupting the teacher numerous times. Two - she threw pieces of paper at the teacher. And finally, the worst one of all,' she paused for a dramatic effect, that wasn't really all that dramatic, 'she drew a face on the back of her teachers head in permanent marker.'

I let out a little chuckle. I looked at the principal who glared at me. I instantly shut my mouth.

'Millie what were you thinking?' Mason said sternly. 'I mean you've done the other two before, and which we warned you not to do again, but drawing a face on your teachers head?'

'Well,' she began, 'he was writing math problems on the board and well…he has a bald head. It was too tempting to pass up. So I stood on his chair and got the first marker I saw. I had just finished the mouth when he noticed me.' She finished with a smile. She turned to me, as I would usually support her with things like this because they are quite funny and clever, but I was determined not to smile. Her little smile faded when she saw mine stern face; my pretend stern face.

'This school has a very good reputation.' Mrs Dean walked over to the trophy cabinet and admired the schools many achievements. 'We did not become the Number One Elementary School in New York by taking on little troublemakers like the one you have.' I silently scowled at her, how she dare call my daughter a troublemaker. But I guess it's something she inherited from me… 'Tell me,' she turned to Mason and me, 'why did you enrol her in this school?'

I sent Mason a silent message to say 'you explain.' Well, we always educated Millie from when she was very little. She is very bright for her age.' That is true. She learns things very fast, much faster than I do, and she understands things. 'Why do you ask?' Mason finished.

'No reason.' She sat back down. 'Mr Greyback, you and your wife have done a very good job of preparing Amelia for school. She is in fact the brightest student in her Kindergarten class.' I gave Millie a smile. 'But she is also the naughtiest.' Smile gone.

The meeting went for a few more minutes. Basically she said that the only reason Millie is still at this school is because of her good grades. Otherwise, she would've been suspended, and if future events happen, expelled. She let us go after that. Mason and I didn't see the point of driving home since we would have to pick her up in about an hour anyway. So we found the nearest Starbucks and both ordered a hot chocolate. We sat at a table by the window.

As we were finishing our drinks, I remembered the conversation at the school. 'Mason?'

'Yes love.'

'Should we be worried about her? Since she is well causing so much trouble at school?'

Mason looked into my eyes and I looked in his. I could just stay here forever. He took my hands in his. 'Alex, she's just like you.' Okay. That wasn't as sweet as I thought it was going to be.

'Huh?'

'What I mean is, you broke rules when you were little, and when you were a teenager and Millie is pretty much the same.'

'Uggh!'

Mason laughed. 'I understand that. But look at you now. You're the most beautiful, amazing person I know. I love your little schemes that you used to do and I'll admit it, still create up.' I smiled at him and he smiled back. 'But I love you so much. And if we have a daughter who turns out just like you, I'll be proud.' He kissed my hands and helped me out of my chair. We left Starbucks and went for a little walk through the cold streets of New York.

It was early January. Millie had just started back at school. And it was also freezing cold weather. Mason and I cuddled up together as we walked around, talking about stuff. We mainly discussed the twins that would be coming around February. My due date was February 23rd except most twins come a few weeks early. I'm exactly seven and a half months pregnant. I feel like a boat.

We then chatted about work. We both own an art gallery together and it's doing quite well. It's about a ten minute walk away from our apartment and less by car. We have a room where Mason and I paint, which is situated behind the showroom.

It was coming close to three so we walked back to the car and drove to pick Millie up. When we got back home, the babies' started kicking. I decided to sit down on the lounge and read a magazine next to Millie while she watched her afternoon television shows. I ended up watching them as well.
