Whoever is knocking on my door at 5 fucking am, is the person I am going to kill. Ana and Al aren't up, they need their sleep. The three and a half year old twins need their sleep. It took me all night to get Alba to fall asleep, and Adrian was up late last night trying to finish this housing subdivision that he was put in charge with.

I slipped out of bed and put on my red silk robe, and walked into the hallway. I turned on the living room door then opened the front door.

Standing there was Dimitri with tears streaming down his face. I was so shocked because I never saw him cry. It had been 8 months since the last time I saw him.

"Dimitri?" I was so sleepy. I must be dreaming this.

"Roza, I can't do it. I went back there, and when I saw all the baby stuff that Tasha had left around, I broke down. When I went into the baby's nursery, I couldn't even believe it. It hurts so much. I want them here. If I couldn't have you, then I wanted them. Roza, please help me." Tears were rolling down him cheek.

"Come on in." I opened the door for him to come in. He walked in and sat on the couch putting his head in his hands. I sat next to him and rubbed his back. "Shh, Dimitri calm down. Come on stop crying."

Slowly but surely he stopped crying. He fell asleep and I laid him down and put a blanket on top of him.

I was about to go back to bed when I heard Alba start to cry. I couldn't go a minute without being a mother. I walked into her beautiful nurseries. We had gotten it done right before she was born. I picked her up and went to rocking chair and rocked her. She fell right back asleep. By now it was 6:30 am. I put Alba in her crib and closed her door.

I heard Ana singing so I opened her door to find out what she was doing. She was sitting cross legged on her bed singing to the new dog I had allowed both her and Al to get.

Adrian and I decided that we would allow them to pick out their own dog and name it. We did this before Alba was born. Adrian suggest that we did that way they would be busy with their dog and not notice that we were spending a lot of time taking care of Alba. They always had each other to play with when they got bored too.

Ana had decided that she would get a beagle. She names her dog Annabel, but she called her Bell for short. The dog looked happy sitting in her arms while Ana brushed her and sing to her. I stood in the doorway and watched the scene before me. After a few minutes, Ana looked up at me.

"Morning mama. Bell woke up and jumped up on my bed, and I got up and brushed her. Doesn't she look pretty momma?" She asked me with big curious eyes. Ana had grown into a beautiful child. We knew that she would be very pretty. She had strawberry blond curls that fell to the center of her back. She had Adrian's green emerald eyes, she had my face, and everything about my face though.

"She looks very pretty Ana. Why don't you stay in here and play with Bell for a little bit. It's very early and nobody's awake quite yet. Okay sweetie?" I came over to her bed and pet Bell.

"Okay momma. Me and Belle will be fine here." I bent down and kissed her head. I walked to the door and shut it.

I went to Al's room next. He too was awake. I opened the door. When I looked in I saw him on his bed playing with his dog, Badge. Badge was a Lancashire Heeler. He was such a cute puppy too. I closed the door and walked to my room.

Adrian was starting to get ready for the day.

"Morning." He said to me before kissing me on the lips.

"Morning. Dimitri's here. He came over earlier this morning. He is a really big mess." I said, resting my head on his chest. I was breathing in his scent.

"Alright, but I'm afraid that he has to sleep on the couch."

"I'll talk to him. When will the house be done?"

"Soon, the builders say that they are almost done with the house."

There was a new project that Adrian was working on. There was going to be a subdivision that the important Royal Moroi and people at the court can live at. They were top of the notch with state-of-the art everything. From kitchen appliances to the security. It will be almost impossible for Strigoi to get into.

Humans will think that it was a big subdivision for the extremely rich. They too won't be able to get into the subdivision.

Our house was going to be next door to Lissa and Christian's. They would come over almost every night and we would both plan our houses and get a layout. The kids would go to a room and play.

Both Lissa and I need this house. The apartments are becoming too small for our growing family. Lissa is once again pregnant, and I think that I am too. I've missed my period this month, but we were not certain.

I didn't tell Adrian quite yet for the fact that I don't want to get his hopes up. Same with the kids. They are always excited to find out that they might become a big sister or big brother. Al has been asking me since Alba was born if he was going to get a baby brother.

Flashback

"MOOOMMMYYY!" Al cried. He was following me around the house.

"What Al?" I asked.

"It's not FAIR!" He said.

"Al no yelling in the house." Adrian said scolding his son.

"Sorry daddy, but mommy, it's not fair." Al exclaimed stomping his little foot.

It was early in the morning so he still had his dinosaur pajamas on with his claw slippers.

"What's not fair Al?" I stopped and bent down so I was eye level with him.

"Why does Ana get a new baby sister?" Tears were threatening to spill from his green eyes. I wiped them away.

"Sweetie, Alba is your little sister too." I said, I was a little confused.

"No, she spends all her time with Alba. When do I get a new baby brother? I think it would be fair if I got a baby brother."

"You won't be getting a baby brother for a long time." I said, standing back up. I got a towel so I could wipe down the counters.

"Why?" He commanded.

"Because you just got a new baby sister." I replied.

He wants a baby brother so bad. He loves Alba too, but I think he wants a brother instead of just two sisters.

I pulled away from Adrian and went into the bathroom. I started the shower. While the water was warming up, I went into the closet and grabbed some clothes for today. I grabbed some jeans and yellow silk cami. When I got back into the bathroom I stripped of my clothes, and got into the shower.

The water woke me up from my sleepy state. When I was done washing my hair I got out of the shower. Adrian was finishing making the bed. He too was dressed in his work clothes. He was wearing black pants, a blue button up shirt, and a tie that the twins got him for his birthday a few months ago.

When I got done getting dressed I blew dry my hair straight, and put on some light make-up. Adrian and I walked out of the bedroom hand in hand. Adrian went to go get the kids while I went into the kitchen to get breakfast ready.

Dimitri was sitting at the counter in the kitchen looking absolutely miserable. I went to the cupboard and grabbed three coffee mugs. I poured hot coffee in them, and pushed one cup to Dimitri and I took a sip of the other.

When I opened the fridge, I grabbed the eggs, orange juice, butter, and grapes. In the pantry I got the bread out.

I was cracking the eggs in the bowl, when Al came running in the room.

"Mornin, mama." He said. He was a bit tired. His puppy was trailing right behind yapping happily.

"Morning sweetheart," I bent down and kissed his head, and ruffled his hair. "You hungry?"

"YEAH!" He cheered. Badge barked happily.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Well, I bet Badge is as hungry as you are. Are you going to feed him?"

"Yes mama." He turned and went in the pantry. He came back out with a metal bowl filled with food. He set it under the window. Once he got out of the way, Badge just tore into his breakfast. Al was standing next to him clapping his little hands.

When Adrian finally came in holding Ana in one arm and Alba in the next, I was putting breakfast on plates.

"Mornin mommy, mornin Dimitri." Ana said, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Morning sweetie, before you eat, you should feed Belle." I said. Ana let go of Adrian's hand, and went to the cupboard to get Belle's food. Adrian walked over to a high chair that was green with Alba stitched onto it in gold.

I set Al his plate of food as he climbed into his seat at the table. Next to him I sat Ana's plate, and Adrian sat at the head of the table, and I sat at the other end.

I went back to the counter to get Al's and Ana's sippie cups as Adrian helped Alba eating with her food. Dimitri sat at the counter like a statue as we all ate as a family.

"Mommy, when do we get to go to school? Maria said that her older brothers are going to come home from school soon, and then she gets to go." Al asked, with food stuffed in his mouth.

"Al, don't talk with food in your mouth, daddy said it's not very polite." Ana scolded him.

"Your sister's right Al, nobody will want to eat with you if you talk with food in your mouth." Adrian added.

"You won't be going till you're a bit older sweetie. The king said that you start taking school here to learn the basics, but it won't be awhile till you go to St. Vladimir's." I replied.

"Is that where you went to school mommy?" Ana asked.

"Yes, I went there when I was four years old." I said, taking a sip of my coffee.

"We are almost four. Why can't we go?" Al asked. His eyebrows were scrunched together. He always did this when he was thinking hard.

"Because mommy and I would miss you too much. We want you here for as long as we can." Adrian said. He finished feeding Alba so he started to clean her up.

I got up and kissed Al and Ana's head then grabbed their plates. "I would miss you far too much. Plus you would miss me and my awesome cooking."

Adrian and I decided that the kids would be 6 or 7 years old before we sent them to the academy. Until then, they would go to school here on court. It would be too hard for me to fly them out there and only see them on the weekends. They have grown up so fast. Maybe that's why Adrian and I are starting to have kids so fast. That way when they do leave, we aren't alone. We would have kids home, and then their return would be better. I had no idea.

Wow that took me a long time to get this up. I went up North for the weekend for a family golf thing, and let me the first to tell you, it was so much fun, that I had barely any time to write. Then I won the president election so I am now student president so I've been very busy. If I get 155 reviews, then you will get your next chapter.
