Leah P.O.V

"Come on Leah." Jennifer begged softly and stressed as she rocked a crying Zachary.

"No." I said as I roughly turned on their automatic lullaby player and picked up Zane who was fussing in his crib. We were up all night with the fussing babies just like we had been the past week. The boys were becoming insufferable because well.. I kicked Zavior out of the house. I didn't care if people thought I was being irrational I wanted him gone. I was officially fed up with the lies and the secrets and the manipulative attitudes from him and his family. So he stayed in the penthouse in the city and I agreed that he could see the boys on weekends.

"They miss their daddy." She said as she rocked Zachary who just wouldn't stop screaming. He projected an image of Zavior and Jennifer rolled her eyes. "I know baby I know. You'll see him tomorrow on the weekend ok?" She said but he just screamed louder. Zane wasn't any better as he screamed and fussed and yelled and pulled on my hair. I placed him in the crib and then I put my hand to my forehead as I started to cry softly myself at how stressed I was.

"Leah?" Jennifer said softly as she held Zachary who was a little quieter. I looked up at her and she gave me a sorry look. "Go get some rest ok. I'll call Syda and Jennifer in here." She said. Like clockwork both of them entered the room and took the twins form us. Syda working her enchanting lullaby and they both fell asleep within a second. I grunted leaving the room without a word to anybody. I crawled into the bed that Zavior and I used to share and wonder if things could ever go back to the way they were… the way they were before I lost all my trust in him.

-Friday-

"I still can't get over how amazing this house is … freaking estate… castle is." My boss says as she walks into the study where I did all my work. I was dressed in white skinny jeans and a black leather jacket my hair pin straight, with jimmy choo pumps. I laughed as I gave her a light hug.

"When I first moved in here I got lost a couple of times." I said with a little smile as I handed her the files that she came for.

"Thank you… How is everything I haven't seen you in a week since the new season with all the traveling I did."

"I know the office is great sales are up. Everything's perfect."

"Where are those cute babies anyways?" She asked.

"Getting ready to go out with their daddy." I said softly. Just then Zavior came in holding both boys and my boss smiled and clapped and jumped. Causing the boys too look at her with wide eyes.

"Oh hello babies. Hi." She said taking Zachary from Zavior's arms. He just looked at her and I knew he was trying to project something but Zavior and I blocked their magic when they were around people who were non magical. When Zachary realized he could not use his power he started to cry and my boss looked at him with a pout. Of course she didn't know why he was crying but Zavior and I did.

"Oh it's ok baby." She said as he yelled and cried. "I'm not going to hurt you." She said softly as she bounced with him. When Zane saw his brother crying not knowing why he started to cry. I could have smiled at how connected they were. I took Zachary from her softly and he immediately calmed down as he rested his head on my chest. Zachary reached out his hand and Zane did the same from Zavior's. I smiled.

"Are you comforting each other?" Zavior asked softly. Zane being the protective older brother watched as Zachary closes his eyes softly and goes to sleep. He continues to stare at him and when he's sure he's asleep he rests his head on Zavior and after a few moments he softly closes his own eyes.

"They're like connected to each other." She said as she watched them sleep in our arms. Still holding hands.

"They are." Both Zavior and I said softly as we held them. We looked at each other softly and you could see the misery in both our eyes. I missed him. I missed him every night when I was in bed and when I would get ready in the morning by myself… which I wasn't used to. But I wouldn't cave I didn't care he needed to know that, that shit was not acceptable. I was his equal not his dainty little wife.

"I should go I just came to get these files." She said as she softly traces Zane's chubby little cheek.

"It was nice seeing you again." Zavior said as she smiled at him.

"You too Zavior you guys take care." She said. Jenny showed her out of the house and the minute she was gone Zavior unblocked their magic and the boys dreams were showing up in their projection bubbles. I smiled softly. I handed Zachary to him.

"Have them back by Wednesday they have an appointment with the doctor." I said quietly to him as I softly played with Zane's hair as he slept. Projecting dreams of baby wolves, my laugh and Zavior playing with them.

"Leah-

"Not today… I have a headache." Is all I said before I started to walk away. My heels clicking. "Jenny will show you out." I said to him not looking back.

"I know my way out… this is my house too you know." He said to my retreating figure. To which I did not stop my walking.

-That Night-

I was walking around the estate blowing out candles and turning off lights before I went to bed. Sad that I wouldn't be lulling my babies to sleep because they were with their father in the city. I missed all three of them. I really did. I went into the throne room which is basically just a room in here that had paintings and portraits of Zavior's family as time went on and we didn't really use this room for much of anything. The boys just liked to roll around in here. There was a huge chair with golden carvings in the middle and the whole thing was random but Zavior wouldn't dare get rid of the room even though I told him it was time. The room was stupid. Nice, but stupid. I heard something move and I turned to be faced with Zavior's grandfather Caleb.

"What are you doing in here?" I asked softly my heels clicking as I took a couple steps towards him. But kept my distance.

"I just came to see the boys."

"Zavior told you to stay away from the house. How did you get inside."

"Well with this demotion… the gate senses magic… I'm no longer magical easily slipped in." He said.

"You should go."

"Where are the boys?" He asked. I stayed quiet before I spoke again.

"What's the real reason you're here." I said softly. He sighed before he spoke.

"I knew about Zavior's destiny to marry you long before anyone else did." He explained softly. "I didn't like it then and I don't like it now." He said quietly.

"Because I'm not a pushover, because I won't let you raise my children as wolf warriors." I said with an eye roll. He chuckled.

"There's a status quo Leah…. The way things work here. Everyone on this wall followed a moral code." He said gesturing to the pictures hung up.

"And I understand that and I respect it to a certain degree but at the end of the day. These are our kids and I will not let you or anyone take their childhood from them for the sake of magic."

"I knew you would be trouble from the beginning which is why I hoped his imprint would stick but he had to be stubborn and break it I knew that when he broke it, it was already too late." He said walking around.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because he already felt the pull… the pull of his actual true love… you."

"What do you mean."

"You gave him a fake imprint so he wouldn't meet me?" I asked slowly and confused.

"I did a lot of things so he wouldn't meet you. In fact I think I was doing things every week to make sure you never ended up in Connecticut but no matter what I did the pull was always there. I made sure you got accepted into UCLA that didn't work when your mother convinced you, you couldn't afford tuition. I cast a love spell on you and made you fall for Jacob but that backfired when he imprinted on the vampire baby. I gave Alice premonitions of Nahuel the year of the war with the Volturi in hopes you'd fall in love with him but that went nuts when Embry call kissed you and you ran to Denali for the rest of the winter. I even went back in time and tried to make it so that Sam never imprinted on your cousin but the repercussions were endless so that didn't work."

"Oh my god." I whispered.

"Exactly…. I did not want you two to find each other because I know you Leah. I knew you from the moment your parents were chosen to have you 21 years ago and I've known you since you were chosen by the Gods to be with my grandson… to have my great grandsons and keep our family line going."

"Listen… I don't know what your deal is but stay away from my kids do you hear me. You're not going to touch them. Zavior and I together are stronger than you."

He laughed.

"That may be… but you and Zavior are so distracted by feelings and petty fights that you won't ever see me coming. Where's he right now? You guys make it so easy. This is why I wanted a loveless marriage for him from the beginning. No feelings is a stronger family line a more powerful protected family line…. The gods went wrong when they chose you for him. They went wrong because they wanted him to have true love instead of a powerful blood line."

"Get out of my house." I said "I mean it get out don't come back or I will end you." I said in a low threatening voice.

"Take him away." I said to the guards by the door. They seemed kind of confused because this man was Zavior's family but none the less. They took him softly and escorted him out of the house. I took my cell phone from my pocket and dialed Zavior's number.

"Hello?" He answered in a whisper as I guess he was near sleeping babies.

"You need to come home now… with the twins." Was all I said before I hung up the phone and waited for him.

-Midnight-

"Can't believe he did that." Zavior said softly as he fiddled with a rubix cube in the lab where we both were. The twins were in the nursery under the watchful eyes of Jenny and Syda. Security was doubled. We wouldn't chance it.

"How did he even manage that?" He asked looking at me really confused.

"He said he put things in my way things that would literally steer me in the opposite direction of Connecticut of you." I said softly.

"Leah… I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault."

"I'm still sorry. You don't deserve this. I'm sorry that you're meant to be with me and not someone who deserves you." He said as he looked at me I wiped a tear away.

"You hurt me Zavior you did. You lied to me." I said softly. But then I shook my head. "But there is no one I would rather be with. Than you…. I love you will all my heart all the time. I love you. But Zavior that's going to be nothing if I can't trust you to tell me the truth even if it's ugly."

"I'm sorry… Leah I'm so sorry. I promise you that above all else you and I will have honesty… just end this." He begged softly. I put my arms around him.

"I love you… we can't go on like this we… have to be a team." I whispered to him. He kissed me and I kissed him back I missed his lips.

"I love you Leah Connell."

"I love you too Zavior Connell… forever and always."

*Four years later*

(A/N this is not the end it's just fast forwarding)

Leah P.O.V

Coming up! Leah Connell and Zavior seen clubbing at all hours of the night. Are they neglecting their kids?

Leah in a short skirt and Zavior clearly intoxicated. The dangers of the children, behind the Connell Estate gates.

"I rolled my eyes at the dramatic headline as I watched the gossip channel. Zachary and Zavior asleep on the couch across from me both with their thumbs in their mouths. I nibbled on my popcorn. Our German Sheppard Toto sitting on my feet warming them up against the leather couch.

"I mean what would you say about a situation like this?" Said the blonde reporter asking the guy reporter who just smiled and laughed… he was gay by the way.

"What's the big deal their partying they're married they have kids and their taking a night off. I really don't see why there was such outrage in these pictures?" He says as the pictures of Zavior and I entering a nightclub with the team flashed across the scene. Some ones from us inside the club taking shots and dancing.

"Some people are upset because as old as the Connell family is no one has ever seen any of them go out and party like this. People are questioning Leah as a wife is she too young? What about her four year old twins at home? People are wondering if this is just a way of Zavior defying his family which will be negative for the kids."

"oh NONSENSE!" Another reporter said. "They're a young couple. Leah always carries herself professionally in public in business" She said as a picture of me entering my office. "People can say what they want but everybody thought she was too young to marry in the family that Zavior was too rebellious but these two people have always put their kids first." She said which caused the audience to clap as a picture of Zavior and I walking with the boys in an ice crème parlor last week was shown.

"It's just that some people don't think mothers should be acting this way… and Zavior is obviously drunk I mean what happens to those kids at home? There the nannies problem?" The other reporter said. I just sighed as a hand dipped into my popcorn and when I looked it was Zane. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"You should be sleeping baby." I said softly turning the television off as he stuffed his face.

"I smelled popcorn it's my favorite." He said as he talked with his mouth full. I smiled at him as I kissed his forehead. I looked over and his brother was still sleeping soundly. I pulled Zane into my lap. He rested his head against my chest and ate some more popcorn.

"Mama why do you listen to the people on the TV when they say bad things about you and daddy?" He asked. I stroked his hair.

"I don't know sweetie." I whispered to him.

"Daddy always tells us the people with the cameras are stupid and they shouldn't be trusted." He said but the look I gave him made him retract. "He said not to say stupid." He said cutely and I smile a little bit.

"Is that a little cub up way passed his bed time." Said the voice of Zavior coming into the living room in his suit. He just came from work… I tended to wait up for him when he stayed late.

"Hi papa… I smelled popcorn." He said getting up and jumping into his father's arms in his spaceship pajamas.

"Silly boy." Zavior said kissing his tummy which made him burst out in giggles. Syda and Jenny come downstairs and I place a sleeping Zachary in jenny's arms. She carries him up the stairs. Syda just shakes her head before she starts to hum and Zane stops laughing falling into a deep sleep. I laughed. Like I always did when she did that.

"Little cubs must not stay up late." She said taking Zane and disappearing with him upstairs. Zavior pulled me into his arms and kissed me.

"How was your day love."

"We're in the tabloids again." Was all I said softly before I started walking up to our bedroom. He followed me up the many flights of stairs.

"Leah you know I hate it when you watch those things we're doing nothing wrong." He said as he yanked his tie off and threw it on our bed as we entered our room. Toto following us inside and taking his spot in his bed inside our large closet. I went into the bathroom.

"Yeah I know… I just I hate it when they say we don't parent the twins properly." I said as I focused on getting my toothpaste on my toothbrush. He stopped my shaking hands and took it from me softly. Pulling me toward him.

"Tell me what's wrong love." He said softly as he held me.

I'm pregnant.

I wanted to tell him. But then I thought about all the times he said he really didn't know if he was ready for another baby. I thought about all the times he said he was satisfied with the way things are. I thought about how the last time I was pregnant he told me I was a gold digger and kicked me out of the house. He was such a good father to the twins I didn't want that to change.

"Nothing." I said as my throat tightened up and tears started to fall.

"Leah. Come on baby you can tell me anything." He said softly holding me to him. I just shook my head.

"It's nothing I uh… I'm just a little overwhelmed with work and this tabloid stuff doesn't help." I said softly as I tried to control the tears. He just sighed.

"If works becoming too much take a little sabbatical… You know no one would think less of you if you needed a breather." He said looking at me with such love in his eyes. I nodded as I sniffled.

"Come on let's get you to bed." He said lifting me in his arms. I laughed as he carried me to the bed. Later that night when he was deep in sleep I went into our balcony feeling like I needed air. The sleep wouldn't come to me anyways.

"And the sun loved the moon so much it died every night to let her breathe." I whispered softly as I looked at the moon. I looked out at the stars and spoke to no one in particular.

"I can't keep this from him any longer… but he won't be happy…. Maybe we're not meant to be after all." I whispered softly.

"Really?" Said Zavior's voice making me jump and turn around.

"What are you doing up."

"You got out of bed I got worried." He said his arms crossed. It was silent for a long period of time as he watched me accusingly he wasn't happy.

"Leah what are you hiding from me." He demanded.

"Nothing."

"The stars seem to disagree with you." He said his harsh tone not faltering. I passed my hand through my hair.

"It's nothing."

"Something that's making you question whether we belong together." He said his arms crossed.

"You know I love you." I whispered.

"Then why aren't you telling me the truth." He demanded.

"I'm pregnant Zavior." I said his face softened.

"Oh." He said softly. He walked over to me. I wiped some tears away. "Why would you keep that from me."

"Because every time I talk about another baby you cringe and change the subject. Last time I was pregnant you kicked me out of the house and called me a gold digger remember." I said walking into the bedroom.

"Leah that was like four years ago… I've apologized for that so many times. You really think I would do it again?"

"Not do it again but I didn't think you'd be happy." I said.

"Well I am… This makes me really happy." He said and I narrowed my eyes at him. "And scared" He admitted with a little chuckle. "But we did it before… we can do it again." He said softly to me. I smiled as he took my hand and pulled me into his arms.

"Hey I love you and I love our kids born and unborn… This is a great thing." He said softly and I smiled as I kissed him.

"I know." I whispered. "I love you."

"I love you too… forever and always."

"Forever and always."
