See I give you small cliff hangers but I update pretty quick. I'm just irritated, a story I've been reading hasn't updated for over a month now. UGGG! Anyway I don't own nodda! Richelle Mead is the master mind of these characters that we all love so much (especially Dimitri). Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your reviews, Mandy

I sneaked up to Lissa's room where she disappeared to change after her nap. I lightly knocked on the door not wanting anyone to know what I was up to. Dimitri was still buried in his book. She answered her door surprised to see me. "Hey Rose, come in." she shut the door then turned to me. "What's wrong?" she rushed to my side. She must have seen the look, I was scared.

"Yeva touched my stomach and said they love you, and then she walked away." Lissa was trying real hard not to smile like an idiot. "Let it out." She screamed and started jumping up and down. "Are you done, this is serious."

"Oh my god, the bad ass Rose Hathaway isn't going to have just one baby but two. What's wrong?" she was still dancing around the room. I loved her so much when she acted like a dork, it was just so cute. "Is Dimitri mad that your pregnant, I'll kick his fucking ass."

"Yesh, cuss as much as you can. No Dimitri doesn't know yet. I was hoping you could get me a pregnancy test." She patted the empty spot on the bed after she sat down.

"What's bothering you Rose? Aren't you happy?" she put her hand on my leg.

"I am happy just scared. It's bad enough that we'll be hunted what happens if someone finds out about the babies. What happens if they have different powers?" I put my head in my hands trying to hide the tears that fell.

"Rose, we are all in this together. Everyone in this house is now a family for, forever. Nobody would let anything happen to you or these babies. Don't forget your powers, nobody can touch you. It's all going to ok." She rubbed my back trying to calm me. She was right we were all stuck with each other no matter what now. It was also nice to know we were a family. There was bound to be arguments but we would have to work through them for the safety of us all.

"Get dressed and we will go to the store together." She pushed me out the door. I wondered to my room. To find Dimitri changing into pants and a tee shirt.

"Hi love. What are you doing?" I asked putting on a happy face. "What's wrong Rose?" damn it he could read me like a book. So I thought for a moment, I knew what I needed to say.

"Can I ask you something without you wanting to kill someone?" he raised an eyebrow at me then narrowed his eyes at me. "I think Viktoria and Adrian are falling in love." I gave him the biggest cheesy smile I could.

"Um. Are you sure?" he asked me, I nodded my head. "Well if it's true love whom am I to deny it." I jumped up hugging him. He pressed his lips to mine. I relaxed and slid my tongue into his mouth. He kissed me back passionately. I pulled away, "Lissa needs to go to the store so I'm going with her for some protection and girl time." I threw the last in so he wouldn't think about coming with us.

"Ok, you be careful and call me if you start glowing. I mean it Rose. I thought I lost you when they executed you, I won't lose you again." He hugged me and I squeezed him back. What was he going to do when I told him I was pregnant, I wouldn't be going anywhere without him. He was going to be an overprotective fool.

"Oh settle down, I'm not going anywhere. Just to the store with my best friend. Now get out of here. I need to change and I have a feeling if you stayed and watched we'd be glowing in about five minutes." I laughed when he gave me a sad look. He turned and left. I pulled on a pair of faded blue jeans and a tight tank top. I pulled my jacket on and headed for the living room where I was sure Lissa would be waiting. She smiled and we left.

"I ran in to Dimitri in my room and he knew something was up so I told him I thought Adrian and Viktoria were falling in love." Lissa turned to me.

"What did he say?" she asked. "He said who am I to deny true love." She was just as surprised as I was.

"Are you kidding? That's great. I haven't talked to Adrian since we got here other than saying good morning." Lissa seemed a little sad that she hadn't spent any amount of time talking to him.

"Lissa he still loves us. He's in love, you know how that feels. It's like nobody or anything else really matters." She nodded agreeing like I knew she would. Christian was her everything was I upset that I didn't get a lot of time with her, yeah but I know how it feels to be in love. We talked about going to Hawaii, both of us hoping to enjoy it while searching. I told her we wouldn't have a hard time, the glow would make sure we found her. Then a had to tell her she was a her. We laughed a lot to the store and back.

"Rose it's been three minutes, let me in." Lissa yelled from outside the bathroom door. We had bought three different kinds of tests and every one of them said I was pregnant. How was I going to tell Dimitri and would he react like I did at first or would he be happy. And then I would have to tell him Yeva said 'they'. I opened the door and she hurried in the shut it behind her.

"You're pregnant there's no doubt about that. When are you going to tell him?" I looked up and saw the love she had for me and it really warmed my heart that she was excited. "I'll do it at dinner with everyone there. I'll send you a message when it's time. Ok." Dinner was already being made and me and Lissa decided we should really help out. Olena loved the extra help even though Sonya and Karolina were helping. To many girls in one kitchen ends up being a lot of laughing and too much talking. I told them I was pregnant and they squealed making everyone in the living room that was waiting for dinner to look at us strangely. Olena called everyone to the table.

My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest, I was nervous. Yeva smiled at me warmly and she seemed so happy. I was worried about her. When we went searching for Lissa's sibling we would be dragging everyone with us for their safety as well as us that had the power. She was old and I didn't want to harm her with all this travel but I wouldn't leave her here alone.

We were eating a big meal. Steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy to smoother it all in. Well at least that's the way I like it. We had also baked three apple pies and I couldn't wait to try a piece.

'Are you ready Lissa' I asked through our bond.

'Tell me what to do.'

'I'm going to put more potatoes on my plate. I want you to say 'Rose you're eating for two not a thousand. Then I'll say no I'm eating for three. Does that sound good?"

She was holding back a smile. This was going to be great. I just hoped Dimitri caught on. Yeva winked at me like she knew what was about to happen. Olena, Sonya and Karolina were on the edge of their seats trying to hold the excitement in. They also knew the plan and had been not so patiently waiting.

'It sounds perfect, so get to it. I can't wait to see the look on Dimitri's face.'

I grabbed the spoon that was in the potatoes and took a huge heap, plopping it on my plate. Those that knew the plan all stopped eating, waiting to see how Dimitri would react.

"Yesh Rose your eating for two not a thousand." She said. Dimitri dropped his spoon.

"Not two Lissa, three." His head snapped up. A tear ran down his face. He turned to look at me smiling. His look was full of love and that was it. No worry, no being scared just happiness. He pulled me into his arms letting more tears roll down his face.

"Are you sure?" he whispered.

"There are two in there Dimka. At first I thought there was only one until I touched her stomach earlier." Yeva told him. Olena was crying so was Lissa. Christian looked stunned and Adrian looked happy for me.

"Twins. We are going to have twins?" he didn't seem to concerned how I got pregnant and I guessed that with this new power we would all be pretty used to surprises. Nothing was impossible.

"Would you like to know the sex?" Yeva asked. I looked at Dimitri letting him make the decision. He looked at Yeva and nodded. He was being very quiet, but I knew it was because he was so happy he didn't know how to voice it. "There's a boy and a girl." She paused then continued, "They are going to be very special. Beautiful and smart but very special." Yeva let a tear escape her eye. Everyone was so happy for us. Now I just needed to tell my parents who were missing.

"Where's Abe and Janine?" I asked. It's not like I really ever called them mom and dad but still everyone gave me a weird look. "Ok, where are my mom and dad?"

Olena was hiding a smile, "They went out to dinner together." She looked away pretending to be interested with her steak. So they did love each other. Than I thought came to me. "Where is Sydney?" everyone looked around, nobody seemed to know the answer to that. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed the familiar number.

Her phone rang three times before someone answered. "Hello." It was Sydney so I relaxed for a moment. "Where are you?" I asked her. "I'm packing my things to come over there."

"Why are you not with my parents?" I was mad that they would leave her. "Don't be mad I was at the restaurant but decided to leave. I needed to pack. I'm at my apartment not four blocks from you. I'll be there soon."

"Sydney did you not understand that you can't ever be without me, Dimitri or my mom?" I waited for an answer. "ROSE!" I heard something break on the floor. I was up out of my seat running for the door. I heard Dimitri behind me. I turned, "You have to stay here with them." I turned back around but he grabbed my arm. "You stay here. I'll go." He took off running, he was glowing even before he hit the door.

I picked up my phone to listen to the fight on the other end. I heard Dimitri come through the door, breaking it into pieces. "Dimitri. Come with us and we'll let her go. The new queen wants a word with you." I recognized it as the asshole guardian that stood outside my cell. I was pretty sure there was more than just the one but I wasn't too worried. I heard Dimitri laugh, "I won't be going anywhere with you and you will let her go!" at this point because nobody said anything I was thinking that they couldn't see the glow.

"Come on Dimitri, you don't want her hurt do you?" I heard Sydney whimper. "Let her go and no harm will come to you and these other guardians." He sounded so sure of himself and had every right to. I could almost see what he was doing, he was getting ready to hit the ground or the wall whatever was the closest.

"I don't think you could take us all Dimitri." Asshole was still the only one talking so I had no clue who was with him. Enough guardians for them to think they had him outnumbered. "Last chance." Dimitri warned. The only thing I could hear was Sydney crying out of pain. "I warned you." Then I heard him hit the ground. Screams echoed off the walls. I heard the guardians hit the ground screaming for Dimitri to stop.

"You send this message back to your new queen. If she sends anymore guardians after me and my family or friends I will come to court and show everyone why they should stay away." I got chills listening to his threats. He meant it to. He would go to court, show his power than leave making sure they got the message loud and clear.

Someone picked up Sydney's phone. I could hear someone's feet hit the ground and judging by the speed I was sure it was Dimitri with Sydney in his arms. "Everything's all right Roza. I'm on my way. And then I must go get your parents. We need to leave immediately. Start packing, tell everyone and quickly." The phone went dead.

"Pack quickly everyone we have to go." Everyone jumped from the table gathering the things we would need. "Lissa I think Sydney is hurt can you heal her?" she nodded and waited in the living room for them to arrive. Christian ran upstairs with everyone else and started packing, I knew I should have ran upstairs and started packing mine and Dimitri's things but I needed to see him.

Not ten seconds has passed when Dimitri came through the door he set Sydney on the couch. He rushed to me. Kissed me lightly on the lips, "Roza are you ok?" he asked worried about me and the babies.

"Overprotective fool I'm fine. Hurry back." I kissed him and watched as he ran out the door. I didn't know how long we had until the guardians would come here or would they wait for more help. It really didn't matter we needed to leave. Paul wrapped his arms around my leg.

"Rose I'm scared." I picked him and pulled him into a hug. "You know I would never let anything happen to you right?" he nodded his head. "You believe me right?" I asked. He nodded again. "Then be a big help and go pack some of your clothes for me, ok." I set him down and he ran for the stairs to do what I asked.

"Rose I'm so sorry. I didn't understand the importance of us sticking together." Sydney was crying she had put not only herself but us in danger. It was lucky she was so close. This was the reason we would be keeping people we cared about close. And then I thought of Eddie and Mia. I pulled my phone out and called Mia.

"Hello." She sounded tired. "Mia it's Rose. I need you to get Eddie and leave. Hide somewhere until I call and tell you where to meet us." I talked so fast but I knew she heard every word.

"Rose what's going on?" she sounded more alert now. "Mia you and Eddie are in danger. Please go get him and get out of court, now. Without anyone seeing you."

"Rose your scaring me. Why are we in danger?" damn what was it going to take to get her to listen. Someone grabbed the phone from my hands. When I turned around I was relieved to see Dimitri putting the phone to his ear.

"Mia get your ass out of bed. Beat down Eddie's door and get the fuck out of court before you're tortured. Do you understand me?" Dimitri's voice was scary and I knew she would listen to him, just like everyone else. He was my sexy mad Russian God at that moment and nobody would argue with him. He shut the phone and I'm guessing she got the clue.
