"I don't want one that's giant but I want one where everyone I know can come to. Something small but big at the same time, you know what I mean?" Adrian and I are laying tangled in the giant bed of our room at the lodge. We're both so exhausted from the night before that we're just laying in bed until we have to board our plane. We started talking about wedding details and now we can't stop. It's like the first time we talked about the twins.

"I know what you mean. The only person I need at my wedding is you and I'll be the happiest man alive." Adrian smiles down at me and I look up at him kissing his lips softly. "Where do you want to have the wedding?"

I take a second to think about it and that second is all I need before I have the perfect place. "The garden."

Adrian looks at me curiously. "What garden? One at court?"

I sit up and Adrian's arms that were wrapped around me fall to my hips. The smile on my face is ginormous. "The garden from our first spirit dream." Adrian still looks confused so I say, "Your grandmother's garden." Recognition floods onto his face now and a small smile forms on his lips.

"That's the perfect place."

"Do you think your grandmother will let us use it?" A feeling of fear pricks inside me as I think this. What if she won't let us have the wedding there?

Adrian looks at me shocked before pulling me back down to lay beside him. "Of course she'll let us have the wedding there. She just wants to meet you first Little Dhampir." He laughs softly and his chest rumbles under him.

A few hours later Adrian and I are making our way back onto his grandmother's plane. "Lookin' sexy Little Dhampir," Adrian whispers into my ear as he hands our bags to one of the workers.

I can't help but slap him because to me I look like total crap, again. I have on a pair of dark wash jean shorts with a plain white tank top. Just my luck too I forgot to pack a white bra so I have on a bright pink bra with white lace and diamonds on it that you can see through the tank top. My hair is down and looks decent and I have on a pair of white flip flops.

Once I slap Adrian he leans away from me but takes my hand into his. He starts playing with the ring that's now going to be ever present on my finger. Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face. "I love you," I say looking up at Adrian smiling.

Adrian looks down at me surprised but seconds later a smile is on his face. "I love you too Rose." Adrian takes his other hand that's not in mine and rubs my stomach. "I love you little buggers too!" Then Adrian bends down and kisses my stomach right before we climb onto the plane.

"Guys we have to hurry before they get back." Christian, Eddie, Dimitri, Mia, Sydney and I are buying stuff to put into Adrian and Rose's house and we have some stuff but I'm not sure we'll be able to get it into the house before they get home. Rose texted me and told me they we're getting on the plane an hour ago and she asked me to plan dinner for tonight for Adrian, Christian, her and me. So I called and made a reservation at Campagnia.

"Hey Liss, where do you want us to put this?" I'm pulled out of my thoughts as Dimitri and Eddie come up beside me carrying a couch.

I look around the room I'm in which is the foyer right inside the front door. I point down one of the hallways towards one of the living rooms. "Just put it in the living room that's down that hallway." They both nod their heads and carefully head down the hallway I was pointing at.

I jump slightly when warm arms wrap around my waist but I settle comfortingly into Christian's arms a moment later as he kisses my neck. "I think that's everything so for now." I turn around in Christian's arms and kiss his lips lightly. When I pull away I look around the foyer again taking in how nice the house is and how nice it must be to have your own house. "We'll have a house like this someday Liss."

I look back at Christian trying to hide the sadness from my eyes. "We'll live in the palace until I die Christian. That's not a house."

Christian looks down at me and I know he wants to make me happy. I can see it in his eyes. "We'll buy a house away from court. Maybe a lodge in Colorado or something like that. Someplace that we can call our own. Someplace we can raise our kids and they won't be surrounded by all the royal stuff. I promise." Christian bends down and kisses my forehead and my eyes close on instinct.

"I love you."

"I love you too," Christian says back as he pulls me into him kissing the top of my head.

I pull out of Christian's arms and yell throughout the house, "Guys let's go Rose and Adrian will be back anytime now!" I look back at Christian saying, "We have reservations for later we need to go home and get ready for too."

Christian raises an eyebrow at me. "Reservations?"

I sigh wrapping my arms around his neck. "Yep Rose asked me to make some for the four of us. We're going to Campagnia at 8:00."

Just then Mia and Sydney come down the stairs. "I seriously cannot believe this is Rose and Adrian's house! It's like a fucking castle. The master bedroom is as big as my old house used to be!" Mia exclaims.

"Yeah, the bathroom in the master bedroom is the size of my living room!" That was Sydney.

"What are you guys talking about?" Eddie asks as him and Dimitri come out of the hallway.

Mia makes her way over to Eddie and wraps her arms around him flirtily. "Just how I want a house like this when I get pregnant."

Eddie shoots Dimitri a nervous glance but Dimitri just chuckles as he makes his way over to Sydney. "So do you want a house like this when you get pregnant?"

Sydney's eyes widen at the word pregnant and she turns her head quickly towards the ground but not before I saw a slight pink shade cover her cheeks. I take a second to look her aura over. It has some pink which means she's feeling loved, a little green saying she's a little jealous and there's a slight maroon shade but I've never seen that color before. I wonder what it means. I'll have to ask Adrian if he knows later.

"I wouldn't mind a house like this," Sydney finally says answering Dimitri's question.

"Is everything okay Sydney?" Mia asks. I look in Mia's direction and she's looking at Sydney and there's genuine worry written on her face.

Sydney looks up from the ground and over at Mia then scans the whole room flashing a smile. "I'm great. We should get going if we're going to make it back to the hotel before Rose and Adrian." Dimitri looks at Sydney with confusion and worry written all over his face in his eyes and all through his aura.

"Are you sure you're okay Sydney?" Dimitri asks placing a hand on her back.

Sydney flashes him with an even bigger smile than the one she flashed around the room. "I'm fantastic. Come on lets go." She takes Dimitri's hand and pulls him towards the door. She stops when she get to the door and turns around looking at the rest of us. "You guys coming?"

I try to act normal to save her from whatever is wrong with her. "Of course we're coming." I take Christian by the hand and pull him towards the door. Mia and Eddie follow behind us.

Rose and Adrian made it home about a half hour after we did. It's almost 7:30 and we're gonna need to leave soon so I take one more minute to look myself over. I have on a coral blue dress that zippers down the front of the dress with ruffles that start with one extra fabric piece over my chest on either side and that also go the whole way down the front of the dress. The ruffles practically cover up the zipper. It's a spaghetti strap and stops mid-thigh. The waist has a small elastic part so the dress has some shape to it and doesn't just go straight down my body. I have on a pair of Steven Madden tribal print wedges that are to die for. They are absolutely my favorite pair of heels. I curled my hair loosely and pulled the sides back in a wrap around braid. Mia and I got our nails done after we got back from Rose's and Adrian's because everyone else had plans and so my nails are acrylic and the same color as my dress with my ring finger on each hand covered in tiny jewels. My make-up is light only a thin layer of liner and a few swipes of mascara. I swipe my lips with lip gloss before grabbing my IPhone and my grey Buddha Joyce purse.

Christian and I make our way to Rose and Adrian's room after I make sure he looks okay. He has on a pair of khaki shorts, a white V-neck t-shirt with an open dress shirt the same color as my dress with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

"Rose, we should probably leave soon!" I yell as I walk through the door.

"Hey Lissa. Hey Christian," Adrian says from where he's at in the kitchen. Christian and him start talking about something and I take that second to look Adrian over. He has on nice khaki pants with a button up almost jean dress shirt which is tucked into his pants. He has a brown leather belt on and the sleeves of his shirt are also rolled up to his elbows. His hair is in its normal messy hair style and he has on a pair of brown leather Vans. I also notice his skin has a slight tint to it like he got a little tan even though he's a Moroi.

"Hey guys," Rose says as she walks out of her's and Adrian's room. "How do I look?" This time I look her over. She has on a white lace dress with a high neck line with black trim around the neck line. There's a black belt around her waist and she has on a black leather jacket with three-quarter sleeves. She has on black bootie heels with a blood red bottom which shouldn't surprise me she always has something red on. Rose's hair has beach curls and she braided her bangs back, puffed some other hair and pulled her hair up into a chic loose ponytail. She also went with simple make-up not even putting on the eye-liner. In one hand she has her cell phone and in the other she's carrying a black Marc Jacobs' bag.

"So where are we eating?" Obviously that was Rose.

"Some place called Campagnia. Lissa picked it out." Christian answered.

Rose starts to say something but she gets cut off by her cell phone ringing. "Hello? Hey Baby, what's up?" Her eyes flick to Adrian who's looking at Rose concerned. "Oh Honey, I'll see you in like a week, okay?" She pauses as she listens. "Alright, you be good. I love you." She takes the phone away from her ear and hands it to Adrian smiling.

"Hey Sweetheart. I miss you too. I'll see you in a few weeks. We're moving into our new house." Adrian goes quiet as he listens to Scar. It's amazing to watch the way he is with her even when he's just on the phone. His whole demeanor changes. I can't wait to watch him raise the twins up. "Alright, I'll see you soon Baby. Tell Janie and Abe I said hi. I love you. Bye." Adrian smiles bigger as he pulls the phone away from his ear to end the call. He hands the phone back to Rose.

"She already has you two around her fingers." Christian says laughing. Rose and Adrian just laugh along with him because they know it's true.

"Well we better get going if we don't want to miss our reservation," I say as I grab hold of Christian's hand pulling him towards the door. Adrian takes Rose's hand into his and they follow us out the door.

We take Adrian's dark grey 2013 Camaro ss and we have to use Annie (the GPS) to get to Campagnia. It only takes us about thirty minutes to get there.

We get our seats and our orders taken before we all really start talking. "I think we're gonna start shopping tomorrow for stuff for the house. Do you guys want to come?" Rose asks taking a sip of her water.

I glance towards Christian who's talking to Adrian about something. "Actually Mia and I wanted to take Sydney shopping tomorrow. We thought we'd ask you to come."

Rose looks a little disappointed. "Oh, well we were kind of hoping to get into the house soon. I mean once we're moved in everyone can just come stay with us until you guys head back to court."

"Rose why don't you go with the girls tomorrow. We can shop online when we get back." Adrian says looking over at Rose.

Rose looks back at him confliction in her eyes. "Are you sure?" Adrian nods smiling softly at her before leaning over and kissing her. Rose turns back to me a smile on her face. "I guess we're going shopping tomorrow!" Just then our food comes and we all fall silent as we eat.

When we're done with our main meal Rose excuses herself to use the bathroom and everyone else orders dessert. Adrian orders Rose something as well knowing that she won't be too happy if she doesn't get her sugar.

Rose comes back out five minutes later just as our dessert arrives. When Rose sits down she smiles weirdly at Adrian. I don't know how to explain it but it's like they're planning something. I mentally shake the thought from my mind thinking it's nonsense and take a bite from my food. Just as my fork touches my tongue Rose picks up her fork and my fork falls out of my mouth with my dessert still on it.

"Oh my god!" I practically squeal. Christian looks at me like I've gone nuts. "Oh my god! No way!" I pick my napkin up and wipe my mouth and then snatch Rose's hand into mine. Rose is smiling as big as she can.

"What?" Christian says oblivious to the massive ring on Rose's ring finger.

"When did he?"

I don't even finish before she's answering me. "Last night!"

"Where did he?"

Again I don't finish before she's answering. "At the lodge. The first place we ever met."

"Oh my god!" I squeal again.

"I know I can't believe it!" Rose squeals back.

"Oh man, are you sure you want to do this?" I hear Christian say from beside me. I kick him under the table. "Ow Liss! That hurt!"

"Leave them alone Christian!" I glare at him and then turn back to Rose my smile spreading back across my face. "Where are you going to have the wedding?"

"We're going to ask Adrian's gram if we can have it in her garden. That was the first place we ever were in a spirit dream and I absolutely love it!"

"Oh my god!" I say again. "I can't wait! When are you having it?"

Rose shares a look with Adrian. "I want to have it before the twins are born and before I start to look like a balloon, but we also want a summer wedding so it can be outside." I nod my head in understanding. "Oh and Liss," Rose says like she's forgot something.

"Yeah?"

Another giant smile spreads across her face. "Will you be my maid of honor?"

"Oh my god!" I squeal again. "Of course I will!"

Rose and Adrian laugh at my reaction and Christian shakes his head mumbling, "Great what have you gotten us into to." I slap him but I'm too happy to stay mad.

Rose and I spend the rest of the time talking weddings while Adrian and Christian spend the rest of the time talking about god knows what.
