Okay, so, Dimitri did know he was the twins father, but Rose was yet to tell the twins that he was thier Dad.

Please review. Like I have said before I love reading your reviews.

Enjoy. xx.

"Roza." Was all Dimitri could say.

I smiled at him. It was either smile or cry, me and my thoughtless big mouth. This so wasnt how I wanted to tell the twins, but there was no taking it back now. I just had to deal. I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts I didnt hear what Lissa was saying.

"Huh?" I asked her.

She sighed and gave me the look. "I said, you just blurted it out didnt you? What exactly did you say?"

"Um, well, yes I did kind of, well, just blurt it out. I asked them, well..." I trailed of unsure what to say. Lissa elbowed me in the ribs, a comand to continue talking. I could feel her amusment and compassion through our bond.

"I asked them if they liked thier mom kicking thier dads butt." I spoke quickly.

Lissa groaned. I looked down at Dimitri who looked like he was ready to panic.

"You did what?" He exclaimed.

I rested my hand on his shoulder.

"They already know you and like you. Now they just know that you are thier dad."

"Yeah the dad who's ass was just kicked by thier mom." He answered dryly.

Lissa coughed to cover her laugh and I shot her a dirty look.

"Not helping." I hissed at her.

"But it's funny. Only you could do this in such a screwed up way." She answered laughing in full.

"Not to mention that I have never seen the great badass Gaurdian Belikov look so pale and rabbit like."

"Well I suggest that the badass suck it up because the twins are bouncing around over there. I am going to signal Adrian to bring them over here. I garuantee you that they will have a million questions. Not to mention they seem to always have an endless suply of energy."

I turned away and nodded to Adrian he smiled at me and grabbed each twins hand. As he walked over the twins bounced around chatting beside him.

When they reached us the twins fell silent and shuffled around until they were behind me. They both peered at Dimitri with wide eyes.

I looked down at them stunned. Never had I known them to be silent for long, especially both of them at the same time.

"Are you going to say hello?" I asked them.

They both looked up at me and Mason spoke first.

"He looks sick."

"What if he is sick on us?" Cally finished the sentence.

I looked back at Dimitri and had to stifle the laughter that was threatening to bubble out of my throat, he did look a little green.

"I dont think he is going to be sick. Mommy just shocked him thats all."

"Oh, ok." they said at the same time.

"His colours say he is happy and scared." Cally exclaimed cocking her head to the side.

"But he doesnt have to be scared of us we arent badass gaurdians yet." Mason stated matter of factly.

"Mason." I exclaimed. "You do not use that sort of language. Do you hear me?"

"Yes mom, sorry mom." He didnt look sorry.

"What are you two doing out of bed anyway?" I asked.

"Well Uncle Christian came and told us that you and Gaurd...I mean Dad were sparring in the gym. We wanted to come and watch."

"Dad..." Dimitri whispered. "I never thought I would hear that said and mean me." He smiled brightly at the kids and then looked up at me.

"Would you mind Roza if I came with you to put the children to bed. It is late after all."

I smiled and nodded.

"Aww Mom..." Cally said.

"We aren't a bit tired..." Mason smothered his mouth as a yawn cut of the rest of what he was about to say.

"Sure you aren't." I smiled down at them. "Come on maybe your father would like to read you a story tonight."

Both children swung thier heads up and smiled winningly at Dimitri. He smiled in return and nodded at them.

"Talk to you later." Liss said as we headed towards the door.

"Goodnight kids. Sweetdreams. Talk later my little dhampir." Adrian called to me. I knew he would be in my dreams tonight.

"Goodnight Uncle Adrian, Goodnight Aunty Lissa." The kids called as they raced out the doors of the gym.

I looked up at Dimitri. He was staring after them with a tender look upon his face. He turned and met my eyes.

"They called me dad." Was all he said to me in a quiet voice.

"Yeah they did and I suggest you get used to the idea, Comrade. We are going to have a lot of unknowns to deal with. You know that right? They already talk as if they see auras. Not to mention they know stuff, random stuff that they shouldnt know. They are special. I am not saying that because they are my children, its more than that. Heck they are born to two Damphirs. That alone should be impossible but hey here they are."

We walked together in silence to put our children to bed.

I was on the main strip of Vegas again. As I turned around I saw Adrian. He smiled at me, came over and put his arm around my waist. I rested my head on his shoulder and wound my arm around his waist in turn. It was a familiar postion for us.

"I will have my surprise all ready for you by tomorrow evening." He said to me.

I looked up at him "What suprise?" I asked.

He laughed "If i told you then it wouldnt be a surprise would it?"

I growled which only made him laugh some more.

"Fine." I grumped. "Hey! Being here reminds me, have you ever heard anything from Victor Dashkov?"

"He sends a letter to Lissa every month updating what he is doing but never where he is. He is worried about Robert, says he is getting worse with the side affects of spirit." Adrians voice was tight and I knew he was worrying about himself also.

"I didnt know he sent letters to Lissa. He mustn't worry or frighten her any more."

"The first couple did but now she is grateful for them. He sends as much information about spirit as he can. You can tell just from reading them that he doesnt want to harm or scare Lissa. Not that he could, what, with her being Queen and all. He has been alot of help with the trials."

"Adrian, what are these trials I keep hearing about?"

"That is for Lissa to explain to you. Its actually rather impressive."

I let out a long sigh. There is so much I still need to find out and learn about, not to mention I hated secrets that I wasnt apart of.

"I hate this. I hate the fact that there is still so much I dont know about. I dont know how much time is left. How the hell can I do what I am supposed to do when the time comes, if I keep worrying about everyone and everything that I dont know about?"

"Patience little dhampir. You will know all you need to before the time comes. Trust me this I do know."

"So you see the future too now do you?" I scoffed at him.

"No but I do get messages from certain shadow warriors."

That stopped me in my tracks.

"What.."

"Not now I will tell you when you are awake again. Now go back to your sleep. I am proud of you my little dhampir."

Adrian kissed me on my forhead and then the dream fadded.
