Week 34

"Ma! Ma!"

I blinked as a small boy called out to me, well I think it was me. There was no one else around so I suppose it was me, Keladry. The little boy was the same boy from my other dreams – same dark brown curly hair and blue eyes. He was about five and was adorable, and I had this strange connection with him that only a mother had with her child. So I guess he was my son.

"Mamma! Come on! Chase me!" the little boy called out laughing and running down the hallway.

"No ma chase me!" a little girl now appeared and ran after the boy.

She too was from my other dreams. I could recognise her anywhere – long, straight black hair with brighter blue eyes then the boy's.

I started running after them and they continued to run.

"Wait!" I shouted out.

They laughed and continued to run. They reach a large door and opened it easily. I slowed down to a walk and followed them into the room.

It was a living room and it was huge. Actually it looked like Masbolle Hall, on second glance it was Masbolle Hall – Dom owned the Hall while his older brother owned the estate house and his younger brother owned the townhouse. It had a roaring fire, a ridiculously huge dinning table, a study in the corner, and in front of the fire were the two little children. Looking at them, I knew that they were my babies – the twins.

I looked around the room and noticed that outside it was snowing. I turned slowly and noticed that the whole room was decorated in Midwinter colours so I assured it was the night before Midwinter. There were the bright deep reds, the gorgeous greens and daring gold's, mistletoe hanging along with cherries – a Masbolle tradition.

I touched the dining table and spotted my ma's winter dinner table settings. Was this my home?

"Hey ma! Look at what da got for me!" the little boy exclaimed.

He waved a small wooden sword about. I chuckled at him with a smile. He was so happy, though I didn't think a sword was very appropriate.

"Now ma, I can train with you and da!" he told her.

"Look at the pretty dolly da got for me!" the little girl exclaimed, making the doll dance and show off its dress.

I smiled at them. My twins, just how I would imagine them.

I felt a pair of warm, large, calloused hands reach around my waist. I looked down at the hands as he pulled me in closer to him. It was when I looked down I realised that I was wearing that green dress that Dom always loved me wearing. The hands began to rub my stomach and I brought my own hands up. I placed them over his immediately recognising whose hands they belonged to.

"I hope," he whispered, kissing my neck, "You don't," kiss "That I," kiss "Got Ronan," kiss "A sword," kiss "But he," kiss "Really wanted one," kiss. Kiss. Kiss.

I smiled and turned to him. He grinned at me as I placed my arms around his neck and play with his hair.

"Oh Dom,"

"What?" he asked before quickly stealing a kiss from my lips.

I tried extremely hard not to fall into the kiss and make deeper. Luckily he had self-control and pulled away.

I turned back around so my back was pressed into him and watched the children play.

"Honey? What's wrong?"

It's our children. They were my children. I'm having a family with Dom!

"Oh you are upset. I'm sorry darling that I didn't talk to you first. But Alessandrea wanted that doll and Ronan was dead set on the sword. I promise I showed him so many other things but he kept coming back to it,"

"I'm not upset Dom. It's okay, and it's about time he got one. I'm just surprised that's all,"

Dom kissed down my neck to my collarbone then back up my neck. I sighed contently. This was home. This was the family I wanted and needed.

"Darling?" he whispered into my ear.

I shivered involuntary.

"Yes Dom?"

"Let's go for number three,"

He wanted more. He wanted a big family.

"Oh I love you," I told him quickly turning back to him.

I quickly kissed him, pouring my whole heart into the kiss. We pulled away as Alessandrea and Ronan started to run around our ankles. I laughed as Dom chuckled at them.

"Is that a yes?" he whispered softly, so softly that I almost didn't hear.

"It's a yes…"


Kel was in a really good mood the next morning. The dream was still fresh in her mind and she was reliving every moment. Every day since Emil had questioned her about Dom, she had had dreams about a future; a future with Dom and their children.

But up until now, the children never had names. Now they did, Alessandrea and Ronan. Kel really loved those names. They had been on her list. At least now she knew what names to call them if they were a girl and a boy. If it was two boys it would be Jakob and Ronan, if it was two girls it would be Alessandrea and Mirabella.

Now she knew the names she could complete the Guardian Letters to Raoul and Buri and Neal and Yuki. She had half finished them, but she hadn't known what the names were to be.

"Morning Keladry," Ilane greeted as Kel walked into the dining room. "How did you sleep?"

"Wonderfully, I had the most amazing dream,"

Ilane looked up at her.

"Another one? Was it about the babies again? Did it have the father in it this time?"

Over the last week, ever since Emily had questioned her about Dom, Kel had started having dreams about the babies or Dom – never together. This was the first dream to have both in it together.

Kel carefully sat down in the chair beside her mother. At thirty four weeks it was difficult to sit or do every day things. She had four weeks to go and though she wasn't larger then she had been a week ago, she was more awkward as she was worried about hurting the babies. Kel was now trying to avoid bumping into anything or doing anything that could bring on an early labour.

"Actually this one had all of us in it,"

"Really?"

"Yeah and the twins were a boy and a girl. And they had names?"

"What?"

"Alessandrea and Ronan,"

"And it had Dom in it? Are you sure it was him?"

"Ma, it was," Kel said almost dreamingly. "He spoke to me and kissed me and touched me. Oh ma, I haven't had a dream like that before. It makes me want to go back to him,"

Ilane looked at her daughter but Kel ignored the stare and kept going.

"It was midwinter and we were at his place, Masbolle Hall. It was at night and we must have given the kids their presents early. He gave Ronan a sword and Alessandrea a doll. He thought I was upset about the sword though. It felt so real, it felt so right,"

Kel sighed.

"And ma, guess what he asked me,"

"What?"

"If we could try for number three,"

This time Ilane coughed and spluttered on her tea.

"Kel, this was just a dream. Please don't start this again. You chose to leave and you can't go back now,"

"Why?" Kel pleaded with her. "I made a mistake! I shouldn't have run,"

"But you did. And you can't go back at thirty four weeks pregnant with twins!"

Kel sighed and lent back in her chair.

"I know you want to go back but in all due time. We will go back," Ilane promised.

Kel nodded but wasn't happy with that answer…


"I want you Dom," she whispered into his ear. "I need you,"

"No Chelsea, we can do that once the baby is born," Dom told her, pushing her gently away from him.

Chelsea sighed and watched him walk out of their suite. It seemed "Get Dom drunk to sleep with him" would be coming into play very shortly…


Dear Raoul and Buri

Dear Neal and Yuki

As you may now know I am pregnant with twins. If you are reading this then I have died. I am asking you to be my guardians for my precious babies.

Raoul, Buri, you too are my foster parents and I love you more then I love anyone else – well apart my Dom and my real ma Ilane. I am asking you this because you two seem the most capable to do this important task.

Would you please be my first guardians for my two babies? I want you to care for them like you have me over the years. Could you do this last request for me?

As you may have noticed I have said first guardians, this is because I want Neal and Yuki to be their second guardians. This means if something should happen to Raoul or Buri and they cannot take care of them, then Neal and Yuki, could you look after them?

I have put my two best friends second as you already have a growing family and I know how hard it is with Kagomae and a new little one on the way. I don't want to thrust two more onto, especially when you aren't ready for them.

I'm sorry Raoul and Buri that you won't have warning, but I know you will cope just perfectly. You will probably be better then me at raising twins.

Dom, you are the father. There has been no one else ever. The reason I haven't chose you to raise them is that you have more then likely moved on and have started a new relationship. No woman wants to be caring for twins especially when they aren't hers. And to be honest, I don't think you could cope.

I have chosen their names I should die in child birth. They are:

Two Little Girls = Alessandrea and Mirabella.

Alessandrea is pronounced = Alice + Andrea. I want her nickname to be Alice or Andy or along those lines. Hopefully you will be able to decide which suits her best. Alessandrea means defender of men and I laughed when I thought of what she could be like and defending the men in her life would probably be her main goal.

Mirabella is pretty easy to pronounce so you shouldn't have trouble with that one. I want her nickname to be Mira or along that line. Again, hopefully you will be able to decide to which would suit her best. Mirabella means beautiful and wonderful, and I fell in love with the name.

Two Little Boys = Ronan and Jakob

Ronan is easy to pronounce. I have no nicknames for him thought up but I'm sure he will get one like duckling or Ron. Ronan doesn't have a meaning but I chose it because I met a small boy while in the Yamani Isles while I was pregnant and I hope that my little Ronan would be like him.

Jakob is also easy to pronounce. His nickname I would like to be Jake. Jakob means the supplanter which I had no idea what that meant so I made up my own meaning – kind-hearted. I hope he will be very kind hearted to everyone around him.

A Boy + Girl = Ronan and Alessandrea

This is because you both were in a very special dream.

Raoul, Buri, Neal and Yuki, please look after them. Help them learn about me and who I was. Help Dom love them.

Yours faithfully

Keladry of Mindelan, Lady Knight


Author's Note: So the names have finally been announced! I love all these names and I think Kel loves them too. I will not tell what Kel is having though I am pretty sure most of you have guessed what they are going to be. Next chapter is present day! Thank you everyone for your reviews I love them. XOXO
