PROLOGUE

"Kel thought back to six years ago, while sitting there remembering the date, it was her and Dom's anniversary. She had married, in her eyes, one of the greatest men out there that year, even after so much had happened.

She almost whistled to herself in awe of how badly wrong that year had gone. She had gotten pregnant with her boyfriend, Cleon, several months before the wedding, completely shocked that she was going to have triplets! Oh, and then her whole love triangle… Of course she thought she had loved Cleon, but then when Dom introduced his love for her, the whole world flipped upside down, not only had Cleon ducked out, but Dom joined the picture. However, as she went into labor, another secret had been revealed, Neal, her best friend, had admitted his feelings.

As if this wasn't enough to handle, Cleon came back into her life. Not exactly sure how she felt about this, Kel told him the truth, he deserved someone who knew for sure they loved him, and he angrily left, refusing to ever become a part of his children's lives. Then, only a day or two later, the worst thing possible happened, her smallest baby, Addi was diagnosed with a cursed life, after having a seizure at seven days old, she was doomed to live a hazardous and hard life.

Dom, more determined now than ever that he loved Kel and her babies, married her, Neal's proclamation lost in the background, never brought up again. Now, six years later she had a great friend, husband, children, and life…

The hardest thing now was to watch her smallest, most willed daughter, Addi, growing up."

GROWING UP ADDI



"Mommy?" Said a small, little girl walking towards Kel. "When is Cody coming over?" Kel looked down from the Orders she was reading to smile at her smallest little girl, Addi.

"He will be here in about ten minutes, sweetie. Why don't you play with your brother and sister till he gets here, okay?" She suggested and laughed when Addi furled her brow and stuck out her bottom lip in a pout.

"No." She said bluntly.

"And why not?" The knight asked.

"They are being m-mean to me!" She stuttered a little. Kel stomach dropped slightly when she heard the stumble; she had been SO close to finally getting over that, but as always, it found a way into her speech. A small sigh slipped from her lips, but, she thought to herself, it's better than her not talking at all anymore.

"Did you tell them to stop?" The little girl nodded, and then smiled a little bit.

"Can I barrow your Glave?" She asked hopefully, Kel laughed, but shook her head no. Every once in a while, Addi was allowed to walk in the room holding it, not swinging it, not pointing it, not even allowed to take both hands off of it, but just enough so that her brother and sister would be somewhat frightened, and even more jealous that they couldn't touch it.

"Sorry Sweetie, but no. Instead, why don't you run next door to Lady Alanna's room and get some more balm? You're low and Mommy and Daddy are leaving tonight with Aunt Alanna, so I want to be sure Yuki has enough." Kel told her daughter, who nodded excitedly. She loved being helpful. "Well, go on." Kel told her after she hadn't moved for a second.

Without being told a third time, she bounded off towards the large oak door that let them into their rooms. As she was leaving, Kel's husband Dom walked in the door.

"You ready to leave?" He asked, kissing her on the cheek. Kel sighed, but nodded. Her eyes told a different story as they were glued to the door her baby had walked out of. The door shut hard, and Kel felt a slight twinge in the pit of her stomach. She hated leaving her little Addi - for a night or for a week, even for an hour- it was all the same. Constant worry.
