So, the next one is here. I bet you're all wondering what's going on with Adrian. You will find out soon.

Nadia Callanan, I tried replying to your reviews in the last chapter but it didn't work!

For chapters 33 && 34, my answer to you is: as you will find out soon: Adrian is being affected badly be spirit. I just wrote the chapter where Adrian propsed to Rose and Dimitri understood what was going really well, because of the Strigoi incedent. I haven't really thought about what Rhonda's excuse is, but I'd better do so soon because that's what I'm going to be writing about in the next Chapter. I'm glad you caught into Adrian before I had actaully wrote much about it.

For CristyWho, my answers to you are: I do read my story before I post and I am so sorry if there are missing words. When I type it out, I'm in such a rush to get it down before I forget it. You are the first reviewer to answer any of my twins question and I really thank you so much! Your answer did help me, believe it or not.

Sorry about all this dribble, I just didn't want you to think I was rude by not replying.

Lissa's POV. Dimitri won't be happy.

It was about dawn and our day was drawing to an end. I had cut my day short to spend the day with Nayah. It was good. Rose and I talked about the babies and how good life would be.

Anyway, Rose and I were on the way back into my office.

"Rose, can you put Nayah in her cot. I got something I need to show you," I said, placing the blanket and toys back into the basket.

"Sure. What do you have to show me?" she asked, clearly getting curious. I gave her my mysterious look and asked Mary, my receptionist to watch Nayah while she slept. Mary said that it wouldn't be a problem and we headed toward the tailor.

"Lissa. I hate it when you keep secrets from me," Rose said, hoping I would at least give her a clue.

"I know," was all I was going to say. She growled. We were about three shops away from the tailor when I stopped.

"Close your eyes," I demanded.

"Are you serious?" she asked me.

"One hundred percent."

"Ok," she said, closing her eyes. I grabbed her hand and lead her toward the shop.

"Me and the babies are really trusting you here. If you lead me into a wall or something, I won't hesitate to slap you," she threatened.

"I know what I'm doing," I told her as we stepped into the shop. I looked around. Making sure the dress was in sight. It a was strapless, floor length silk dress. It was dark purple, going lighter into pink as it got higher up. The breast bit had beads in it and was slightly ruffled.

"We're here. Open your eyes." She did so.

"Why are we in a dress shop?" she replied, looking really confused.

"It's all apart of the surprise," I answered, grabbing the dress I had made for her. She looked at it.

"Put this on."

"It is beautiful! But why?" she said.

"Just hurry up and put it on!" She groaned but walked into the dressing room.

"Ah. Look at my babies. My cute little belly has popped even more. Wait till I show Dimka," she said happily.

"Hurry up." Ok, yeah. I was getting a bit impatient. I really wanted to see what she looked like with the dress on. She walked out a second later and I couldn't hold in my gasp.

"You look so beautiful!" I exclaimed. And she did. The dress fit perfectly and you really tell she was pregnant. It did look really nice.

"And look at the belly. You're right. You really have popped."

"Yeah. I love it! Wait till Dimka sees it!" she gushed.

"Ok, let's go."

"Where?" she asked.

"To get Nayah, then home." If she didn't look confused before, she was even more so now.

"Home? In this?" I nodded.

"Yep." I grabbed her arm and we headed out of the store. I did manage to thank the seamstress as we walked out.

We had just turned the last corner to get back to my office when Adrian stopped us. I was so shocked. No one but his mother had heard from him in months. I felt Rose's tension and anger rush into me like a tidal wave.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she growled, sounding as scary as Dimitri when he did it. Adrian smiled sweetly.

"I have come for you my love," he said, looking lovingly into her eyes.

"I am not your love. If you take another step, I will not hesitate to take action," she threatened. He barely battered an eyelash. Adrian looked at me and I was filled with a will to do everything he told me to.

"You will leave us and forget you even saw me. You don't know where Rose is and haven't seen her in hours," he said. I nodded.

"Ok."

"You will go back to your office now and do the work you neglected today," he told me. I nodded again.

"Ok," I repeated, then walked to my office. As I walked in, Mary looked at me strangely.

"Where is Guardian Hathaway?" she asked me. I shrugged.

"I dunno. I haven't seen her in hours," I told her. Mary frowned and picked up the phone. I ignored her strange behavior and continued into my office. Nayah was still sleeping soundly and stayed that way as I did the paperwork I didn't do today.

Tell me what you guys think! So R&&R, please!
