Hey guys I'm so happy you all enjoyed the last chapter thanks so much for the amazing reviews you guys leave you have no idea how much it pushes me and keeps me going so thanks for that.

For those of you following Elijah's Mate I know a lot of you are not quite ready to see that story end but sad to say it's coming to a close as is this story. But don't worry I do have a few story ideas so just because some of your favorites are ending doesn't mean I'm done writing.

I've been thinking of doing a Damon/Bella pairing and another Klaus/Bella pairing is in the works but I would like to finish these two first before I start anything else so I don't overwork myself.

In the last chapter Bella and Klaus got a surprise which was another baby and some of you guys had mixed feelings on that and the babies names but hey it's OK.

In this chapter we see how parenthood is going for the new parents.

Read, review, and enjoy!

I couldn't believe the twins are already a month old and I swear Nik never cease to amaze me as a father. Its like sometimes he knows when I'm starting to get overwhelmed and then he comes to my rescue whether it's to change one of the babies are to make sure I'm eating and resting enough.

I can also say that Sidney is definitely a daddy's girl and has her father completely wrapped around her little finger. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew he was the most dangerous and deadliest person in the world I would think he was just a smitten father.

Today we decided to do some family photos and go out to dinner for the first time. With the Alice threat looming over us I was a little nervous but Nik assured me that all would be fine and that extra protection.

"Do you think it will be best to wait until we get to the studio to change them into their outfits in case they have an accident of some sort on the way there they won't mess them up?" I asked Nik.

"Yes I think that's a good idea love and it might be a better idea to pack back up outfits just in case since we don't know what all backdrops they have that way the colors don't clash either." He stated.

While I got the rest of the babies things together Nik finished getting them dressed. Once we were ready we loaded the kids into their car seats and got in the car and drove into town to the photography studio.

Nik booked us for a few hours not quite sure if the babies would cooperate or not which I was praying they would.

Thankful things were going well and we managed to get some great shots of the kids so far and they even managed to get a few of them with the babies smiling which I loved.

"OK mom and dad time for you guys to join in on the fun." The photographer said.

Nik and I did some pictures alone with the twins and then of us together and then of us as a family. Towards the end of the session the babies started getting a little fussy which we expected, what I wasn't prepared for was Bekah and Angela showing up because they knew that this was meant to be just Nik and the kids and I but they just assured me they came to help out so that Non and I could finish taking some photos as a couple.

As the assistant was changing the backdrop the photographer brought a stool over so that I could sit down and she positioned Nik behind me.

I noticed Angela and Bekah looking at each other smiling brightly but thought nothing of it. Something else I noticed was that the assistant came and stood in front of me with a camera which I thought was strange until the photographer asked me to turn around and look at the new backdrop to see if I would like it.

When I turned around my mouth dropped open in surprise at what I saw.

To say that I was nervous was an understatement I knew Bella wasn't expecting the surprise I had in store for her today at the studio but that's the thing about surprises especially seeing as how Sidney was a surprise as we only expected one baby but now had two.

When Bekah and Angela finally arrived my nerves quickly started to set in but the photographer and I managed to set things up fairly quickly without her turning around and what Bella didn't know was the assistant was also a photographer as well and I wanted shots from multiple angles and this was also being recorded.

I got into position so when they asked Bella to turn around to look at the backdrop she was completely shocked which was what I was going for.

The backdrop read Bella will you marry me? There was rose petals along the floor and I was down on one knee with a princess cut engagement ring in my hand that had a lazuli lapis stone in the center.

"Love I know we didn't do things the traditional way, but then I've never been the traditional type of guy either. However one thing I am certain of is the changes that you have brought into my life and all of them have made me a much better man.

I never saw myself as a father or husband or someone worthy or love and happiness and you have brought nothing but joy into my life so will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" I asked her hoping this was something she wanted.

I watched the different emotions play out on her face and saw the tears in her eyes as she smiled and said, "of course I will marry you I thought I would be your babies mama forever I've been waiting for you to propose. What took you so long?"

I quickly slid the ring on her finger standing up wrapping her in my arms kissing her. I could hear and see the flashes of the cameras going off and hear Rebekah and Angela cheering in the background but none of that mattered as I held my beautiful mate in my arms.

We did a few more shots this time engagement photos and then a few more with the babies. Since we still had to pick our favorite shots Bekah and Angela offered to take the babies home so Bella and I could have some alone time after we decided on the shots we wanted. I called a few hybrids to escort them back to the house and ordered them to stay there and not leave.

After going over all the different shits and choosing the ones we like it was late and we decided to stay in town for dinner so that we wouldn't have to travel to far and I promised Bella the me and her would celebrate one day this weekend.

While we ate dinner we made a few wedding plans and I was surprised that this is something Bella has been dreaming about for a while she was just scared that I wouldn't want it.

"Why didn't you ever tell me love?" I asked her curious as to why she never brought marriage up.

"Well to be honest Nik I thought you was OK with the fact that we were mates and that would be enough for you plus with the twins that was a surprise and I didn't want to run you off either.e Beside I was never the one for marriage but that all changed when I met you."

"Are you kidding me we can get married tomorrow of you want love I just thought you were content is all. It seems we need to learn to communicate more effectively huh?" I asked giving her my dimpled smile I knew turned her on.

"Yes and if you keep smiling at me like that I may just take you right here in this restaurant in front of everyone Mr. Mikaelson."

"Is that a threat or promise love?" I asked testing her.

"How about we get out of here and head home and I can show you just how much I love you."

"Bella love you seem to go get that it hasn't been six weeks quite yet and as much as I would love to make love to you I don't want to affect your healing in any way."

"Well you see Nik since you are a hybrid and have been giving me your blood regularly Meredith cleared me the other day and I was going to surprise you this weekend but since you managed to surprise me today I figured why wait. So what do you say or would you still like to wait a couple more weeks?"

Bella giggled as I quickly paid for dinner and we left before I actually did try to take her in a public setting. I imagine that would have been an interesting story that wouldn't have gone over well with her father or aunt for that matter.

When we got home Bella went to let Angela and Rebekah know that they were free to go. She also fed the babies and I got the ready for bed as she went to take a bath which is how our nights tend to go.

Once I was finished getting the twins ready for bed and down for the night I went into the bedroom to see Bella laying across the bed in one of the most sexiest negligees ever. It was black and left very little to the imagination.

I wasn't sure how long I would last but one thing for sure is I had all night to make up for the past month we had to wait.

I walked to the edge of the bed and Bella sat up "so it seems someone is a little over dressed here in this scenario." She said while pulling my shirt over my head and then undoing my pants.

I quickly grabbed her by the back of her head bringing her lips to mine kissing her passionately trying to remind myself that I would still have to be gentle seeing this was her first time since giving birth and I didn't want to hurt her.

However all thought and reason went out the window when she got my pants and underwear off me and started stroking me I nearly lost it. I quickly ripped the negligee off her and pushed her down on the bed climbing on top of her kissing every inch of her body I could touch.

Once I settled between her legs I reached between our bodies slowly inserting a finger between her most intimate area testing to see if she was ready for me and she was soaked. Removing my finger I slowly entered her taking my time savoring the moment before settling on a pace that was perfect for both of us.

Bella's hips met mine thrust for thrust and the she was nibbling along my neck and ear driving me crazy. I could feel her almost at her peak and knew she was almost there when she bit down on my neck like she usually does before she reaches completion and I quickly did the same flooding her.

It wasn't until we were sated that a thought came to mind.

"Bella, love please tell me you got on birth control?" I asked slightly panicked, although I wanted more children I wasn't ready for any so soon after Shannon and Sidney's birth.

"Yes, Nik Angela was able to create a potion because I wasn't sure if regular birth control would work with us or not s we're good." She said while smiling brightly.

I let out a breath of relief thankful that my mate was the responsible one on that end. I got up and went to the bathroom and ran some water so that Bella and I could enjoy a bath together.

When I came back into the room she was slowly drifting off to sleep. "Come on love you need to soak a little so you won't be to sore in the morning even with my blood in your system I still don't want to take any chances." I said while picking her up and carrying her into the bathroom.

When we settled into the tub Bella laid her head back against my chest and we both enjoyed our moment of peace and contentment. Not realizing the hell that was about to be unleashed at the hands of Alice Cullen.

So guys what do you think did you like the engagement yes, no, maybe so?

Anyways I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I did want them to experience some peace and joy before the usual hell gets unleashed.

So what do you guys think Alice is up to and what do you think her problem is be sure to tell me your ideas.
