Is there ever a good enough reason to shhh a Queen? LPOV
I was sitting in the living room watching my five children; Eric was sitting on the floor doing his homework on the Ozera family, Rea was on the couch playing with the fashion design set that Jill had got her for Christmas, Andrea was at the coffee table drawing and my one and a half year old twin boys Lucas and Morian were enjoying practically running around Christian.
"Daddy" Andrea looked towards my husband
"Yes sweetheart" He looked down at her
"Where are Aunty Rose and Uncle Dimitri?"
"I'm not sure darling" Christian looked around to find Morian staring up at him
"Dadda Uppy" Morian was holding his arms up
"Alright then little one" Christian picked Morian up and watched him smile, Christian likes to pretend he's all tough but I know that seeing any one of our children smile melts his heart.
"Mummy do you know where they are?"
"I think they are resting in there room before their shift darling, why do you ask?"
"Uncle Dimitri promised to play hide and seek with me"
"They had an eighteen hour shift honey they are probably sleeping"
"Can I check?"
"No" Christian had answered before I got the chance "Last time you checked you woke them up didn't you" Andrea looked away "they weren't very happy with you were they? Hmm"
"No daddy"
"Dad do I have to write about Aunt Tasha in my report?" Christian and I exchanged a look, we didn't talk about Tasha but we had decided when the kids were born that they were not going to call her aunt.
"I thought I told you not to call her aunt" Eric nodded remembering "and no son you don't have to if you don't want to"
"Thanks that's three hundred words off my essay"
"I don't think so young man you can write about other family members" Eric threw his arms up
"Oh come on dad" I felt a tugging on my sleeve I turned to see Andrea standing next to me
"Mummy could you check on Aunty Rose and Uncle Dimitri?"
I looked at the scene unfolding before me
"Eric, just do as daddy says" Rea looked like she had had enough, I had to admit Eric had been fighting with Christian a lot recently and it was even getting on my nerves
"No one asked you"
"Don't be rude to your sister" Just then Lucas started to cry
"Oh baby boy come here" I walked over and picked him up rocking him gently until he calmed down
"Now you have made your brother cry" Christian was wound up, he had been on edge all week and this fight wasn't stopped it was gonna end badly
"Right that's it" I held out one hand to stop everyone "Eric apologise to your sister for your rudeness then continue with your homework I will look at it later" Eric opened his mouth to argue "No buts"
"Fine sorry" he sat back down and looked at his book
"Rea you continue what you were doing sweetie that dress looks beautiful"
"Thanks mum"
"Christian calm down, why don't you read to the boys before their nap?" Christian nodded
"Alright love" he took Lucas from me and kissed my cheek as he walked away
"And Andrea I will go check on your aunt and uncle okay?"
"Thank you mummy"
I headed towards Rose and Dimitri's room, we had given them one here for when they do their night shifts and they used it after eighteen hour shifts as it was easier for them. I knocked on the door
"Rose" I called through before opening it quietly and peeking inside, I saw Rose sitting up in bed with her eyes open looking towards me
"Rose I was wondering…"
"Shhh" She placed a finger over her lips and looked down, I followed her gaze to see Dimitri wrapped in the duvet his head resting on her chest.
"Rose" I tried again
"Shhh" she repeated, I watched as Dimitri stirred slightly making a soft mumbling noise as he did "Shhh Dimitri, снова заснуть дорогая, я нахожусь здесь" I was shocked, Rose rarely spoke much Russian and when she did it was a few words here and there not full sentences. Dimitri cuddled up closer to her before settling slowly still mumbling in Russian "There There" Rose said soothingly "I've got you" Dimitris mumbling quietened and his breathing became slower. Rose was playing with his hair keeping it back away from his face; Looking at his face I could see that it was more peaceful than I had ever seen it, gone were the hard lines that normally fell in to place along with his guardian mask and in their place was a look so innocent he almost reminded me of a small child. Rose was looking down on him with love in her eyes, running one hand through his hair and holding him close with the other, I realised then that they must not get too many moments like this normally they were both so alert, always looking out for the next attack. "Sorry for shhhing you" Rose whispered "He has been having nightmares the last few nights so he hasn't slept much, this is the first time he has slept peacefully in days" I had noticed that Dimitri had been looking tried this week and his aura had been slightly off.
"It's okay" I whispered back "He looks so young"
"He looks our age or younger" she looked up gave me a warm smile; she rarely ever smiled like that and when she did it was almost always when she was around or talking about Dimitri. "When he drops the guardian mask he gets younger, mentally and physically" she looked back down at her boyfriend who was now softly snoring "I trust that you won't tell anyone what I just told you, about the nightmares or how cute he looks"
"Of course not, Queens honour" I watched them, they always there for each other whether it was a nightmare or a fight against a Strigoi they did everything together always looking out for each other and now was no different. Dimitri made a small whimpering sound and stirred again I looked at his aura, it was dim and there was a grey glow around him I had learnt from the past that it was the onset of a nightmare, I was about to tell Rose to wake him when she hummed softly
"You're safe Dimitri, I will protect you nothing is going to hurt you or those you love, I've got you" I watched in amazement, as Rose spoke the grey glow faded away and his aura was bright once more
"I swear you two were made for each other" Rose smiled down at him
"Maybe" I stood there in silence for a few minutes watching them both just relax, it was so unusually wonderful. Rose's quiet voice broke me out of my thoughts "Did you need something Liss?"
"I… I…" I looked behind me to so Andrea had gone back to colouring; I turned back to my best friend "It's nothing that can't wait"
"You sure?"
"Yeah positive, you make sure he has a good-nights sleep" she nodded "Don't wake him for his shift, you two can stay off duty for dinner if you like"
"Are you sure Lissa?"
"Yeah, you two deserve some time to relax"
"Thanks" I nodded to her
"Sweet dreams" I whispered, the last thing I saw before I closed the door was Rose kissing Dimitri's forehead. I know she doesn't believe in it but those two are defiantly soul mates.

Hey ho hello, I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and New year I did try to get a Christmas chapter up but it didn't work.
