Hey! Sorry this is so late. I've been really sick for the last couple of days. I wanted to get this up though. Hope you like it! :)

Found

Five months later…

Rose

Everything hurt. I was sweaty even with the air condition on and I was hungry but I'd just eaten. I felt like I was always in and out and maybe I was. Time had no use for me because I'd lost track a long time ago. It felt like I was here for years but for all I know it could've only been just months. Yes, I had on complete knowledge that I was probably here for months.

I'd forgotten about how long I'd actually been here, but I hadn't forgotten my babies, Dimitri, Lissa, Eddie, and Christian. I've always wondered how they were, if they made it, if someone was looking for me. The longer I stayed here the weaker I got and I felt like I was hallucinating. Though not just anyone, Adrian. I'd never thought I see him again, I mean why would I ever want to hallucinate about him?

Robert came in then, his hair had grown past his shoulders. He wore fancy shoes but his shirt was crumbly and his eyes, his eyes danced like mad whenever he was near. His personal body guard was here too, he came ever since my last escape attempt. I'd gotten Robert to remove my cuffs because I had to go pee, then I knocked him out but apparently it wasn't hard enough. When I met up with him at the door, I couldn't fight him off. If it wasn't for Robert, running down the hall screaming not to hurt the babies, I would've been pummeled right then and there.

That's when I realized I was actually in a very big house. I could remember seeing trees through the windows as I ran, but I didn't remember a lot after words. Even with my room looking so hospital like, I then made the connection that the only reason I was here was because Robert wanted something of mine. The only people that were now my first priority. My baby boys.

Why he wanted them I didn't know.

What he wanted to do with them, I didn't care.

Because there was no way in hell he was taking them from me.

Robert came to me and did what he always did. He put his hands over my now enlarged tummy and it glowed a bright green. His eyes would light up and he'd smile with all his teeth showing at me. This time was different though, this time he came in with a tray filled with shiny, sharp silver blades. A electric saw and towels.

My heart rate escalated as I figured what was coming. I was close to being in one of my 'out' stages. I had no idea why, it was like sometimes I was high, so high I felt clarity like no other, then I was blinded by a darkness so great it just took me out cold.

I could feel them moving. I had no idea which was which. Which one of them was Dimitri's and the other Adrian's, but they were both moving, in sync, like they could feel my fear. I tried to move but I knew it was useless, everything started to become blurry as they practically kicked my belly. I couldn't even touch them to calm them down because my wrists were bound.

"Now, this will only hurt a lot." I heard Robert say.

The last thing I remembered was that familiar feeling I got when Lissa healed people. That one that was filled with joy and shined bright gold coming around me. It put me at ease, and it put my babies at ease too.\

Eddie…

We knew where she was, and knew there wasn't a lot of time.

After Lissa was crowned Queen we got Sonya and Mikhail over here to help us find Rose and find out why they took her. Sonya had done some research and found out about an old ancient myth where a woman was impregnated both by a Moroi and Dhampir. The baby turned out to be something called 'Elemental User', Sonya told us that it meant the child would be able to practice all five elements, and could choose whether or not to specialize in one.

The only thing was, that because they were so powerful, they grew extremely fast and after only six months, they practically burst out of their mother, killing her in the process. Once had, if the person knew how and was a Spirit user, they could 'consume' the child's powers which would transfer all the life source from the child to the Spirit user. This ended in the child's death.

It had only happened once that we knew of, and if this was any indication of what Rose's babies were like I knew we had to act fast, so I wasted no time in taking out my 'IOU' with Abe Mazur, who somehow go an Alchemist to help us out.

That's how we found the place. A large bungalow house that otherwise blended into the forestry area if we didn't know where to look. There were twelve of us, including Sonya, we needed her in case Robert had already got a hold of Rose's babies, which would mean she wouldn't be alive, but I couldn't think about that.

We surrounded the house, four at the back, two on either sides and four of use entered through the house. We wanted to make sure there weren't any traps set out before we entered but the piercing cries of someone in desperate pain alerted us. The shriek was so frightful that I feared it was her. I feared we'd gotten here too late so I charged in, two other guardians on my tail as we followed where the noise was coming from.

The room looked bright red and felt like lava, kicking down the door I saw a man engulfed in fire and another holding his neck like he wasn't getting enough air.

"Eddie, look." Sonya told me. That's when I saw her.

Rose lay, unconscious and sickly on a white bed, strapped to it at her wrists and legs. But that wasn't all, her belly looked like she was literally ready to pop and she glowed a bright gold color.

"Can we go in and get her?" I asked Sonya, unsure of what was happening and how the men got in those conditions.

"Let me try," she said. As soon as she stepped through the door though, Sonya was attacked by a lack of air as well, she choked like she couldn't breathe, I reached out before she could get any way inside and pulled her back out.

"Who's doing this?" I asked her. There weren't any Moroi here.

"Her children." She told me as she watched Rose again. "You have to find a way to calm them down. I think they're protecting her." She said as she pointed to the trays filled with knives and a saw, the towels and equipment.

"You're probably right." I told her.

I didn't know anything about these kids, but I knew Rose. So, I stepped in, and started to feel hot. Like really hot.

"We met when we were seven," I started to say, "I'd just come out from playing in the yard and you were grumpy because they were switching brownies for doughnuts as deserts and you loved the brownies the school made." I continued but had to stop as sweat started to pour off me. The heat was killing me. I took a couple steps closer to her, when I did that though, my boots caught on fire.

"Shit!" I exclaimed, then the fire got hotter.

"Don't get angry, keep it light, the more negative energy the more protective they get," Sonya screamed.

Yea, I said to myself, don't get angry when you're on fire. Right, gotcha.

"I knew that so I asked one of the cooks to make me some. They did that, sometimes, if you asked. But you'd wouldn't have done it because you thought they were doing it to get back at you for flooding the kitchen. I brought it to you and you smiled at me. That was the first time you ever did and you were the prettiest girl at school so I liked you, a lot. I told you the next day. You were so shy I couldn't believe it. I remember how you ran when you told me a couple days later that you liked me too. You were so nice and kind, then at our Christmas party, I kissed you, and you kissed me back. We had no idea what we were doing." I said, telling her a story about us. When I started to talk about how shy she was I could feel the temperature dropping, and when I started to take steps closer to her it didn't light up back again.

"You were my first kiss, Rose. I can still remember your big brown eyes staring at me after it happened. You blushed and we sat side by side the entire night, not doing anything and not saying anything to each other. It was one of the best nights of my life. Open those eyes again for me, let me see them one more time Rose." I urged her, as I reached her bed.

It took a while, but then she did. She opened her eyes slightly, and I could see it was taking a lot out of her to do so.

"Dimitri…" she whispered, and I smiled. She was going to be alright.

Rose…

I was lying on clouds. Lots and lots of fluffy clouds that made me want to melt in them. I felt so comfortable and light and still. I was normally awakened by my babies moving about. Wait! I yelled in my head.

That's when I woke up and felt my belly that was already going flat. I was in another room, one with high ceilings and pastel walls. It was covered with painting and the rug looked soft, as soft as the white pillow I was just laying on. The bed was four poster draped like a princess'.

My eyes started to water because I didn't protect my babies. For some sick reason Robert kept me alive but took them with him. Why was I moved here? I didn't know which room I was in.

The door burst open and I expected to see Robert but it wasn't him. It wasn't his body guard either. It was Lissa.

"Liss?" I asked, not believing my eyes.

"It's me Rose. We've been looking all over for you. Sorry it took so long." She said as she sat on the side of my bed.

"It's really you?" I asked her, my eyes watering but this time the tears were that of joy.

"It's really me."

Then Eddie came in. "Hey, brown eyes." He said, smiling at me and I did him. He hadn't called me that in forever.

"Eddie!" I yelled, "You're alright."

"Yea, and I'm glad you're up." He told me, after he hugged me.

"Liss he took them. Robert took my babies! We have to find them!" I started to yell. I couldn't handle the thought of Robert being somewhere out there with my boys.

"No he doesn't Rose." Eddie told me.

"What do you mean? I remember, I remember him standing over me…with…oh god…with blades." I told them. It wasn't until I tried to move that I felt the pain in my stomach.

"Don't try to move." Lissa told me, "Let me get," she said, as she started to hold up her hands and I knew then she wanted to heal me.

"No Liss, don't." I told her. I didn't want her to use it on me.

"Trust me; you're going to want to be able to move in a little while."

"How are you feeling?" Eddie asked, walking around the bed to climb in beside me.

"Where's Dimitri? Did he find me? How? When?" I asked him, I wasn't clear on the details of everything that happened.

He looked to Lissa, who wouldn't meet my eyes. That's when my stomach dropped.

"No, no, please…" I begged her.

"Rose, Dimitri was unconscious for a while when he came back. He suffered numerous seizures and had two brain operations."

I was gripping Eddie's hand by the time she finished that sentence.

"When he woke up," she said, and I relaxed, my worries gone about him being….dead. "He had to be rehabilitated. So no, he didn't find you." She finished. "How?" I asked.

"I pulled some favors Hathway," he said, smiling at me like it was nothing, but it was more than something, it was everything.

I cupped his cheek, "Thank you, so much!" I said, hugging him as I did so.

"But where are my babies?" I asked him. At the same time I heard Lissa exclaim.

"Oh here they are!"

That's when I saw him, two more people trailed behind him but my eyes were glued on Dimitri, holding two perfect, wriggly bodies in his arms.

"I'm glad you're awake Roza." He told me, walking towards me with a smile on his face but tears in his eyes.

"Oh Dimitri." I said to him, "And who do you have there?" I asked, my voice cracking as I did so.

"Our little boys, I took the liberty of giving them middle names. I didn't want to call them one and two, but I wanted to wait, until you woke up to give them their first names." He told me. He handed me one of them. I knew it the minute he opened his eyes, the minute I saw his tanned skin that he was Dimitri's.

He was wriggling in Dimitri's arms but completely settles in mine. His brown eyes bored into mine as I smiled at my beautiful baby boy.

"His middle name is Christian," Dimitri told me, he was so close, I looked at him and smiled, "Alek Christian Belikov."

Then he handed me my other boy. His skin was lighter than Alek's but not pale like a Moroi's he had my brown hair but Adrian's emerald green eyes. And the moment he opened them I loved him. So much, he settled too in my arms. But so still if his eyes weren't opened I'd be afraid.

"Hey baby," I whispered,

"His middle name is Eddie," he told me.

"Vladimir Eddie Belikov,"

"Perfect, Dimitri told me."

Later that night, Dimitri and I slept, me in his arms with our babies in cribs right by our beds. We didn't make love, we held onto each other so tightly I couldn't beat to let him go.

"I was so scared you were gone." I told him.

"I was afraid you'd never wake up…" Dimitri told him. Voicing his fears for the first time.

"I don't ever want to lose you Dimitri Belikov." I told him, crawling up his chest to kiss him.

He kissed me back, "You never will." He said, as he continued kissing me. It was soft and tender and firm. Solidifying his love for me and I him. Grateful, that even after so long, we were here, together, with the family we've always wanted.

This is the beginning, but there's only a couple more chapters left. I hope you liked, tell me what you think :)
