"Mom, I'm..can I..mom...MOTHER!" Vicki finally yelled into the phone.."yes, I'm sorry, I know you wanted to help plan your only daughter's wedding but please understand, Henry would never expect this from me.." Vicki was silent for a moment listening to her mother rant a little, then calm down.

"Thanks for understanding. Yeah, Coreen's. I have to keep everything a secret until THE day, actually, THE moment..." Vicki was rolling her eyes.."Yes,yes, I've covered that. Henry's going to think that he dressing up for a magazine shoot about his graphic novels. He's going to be in traditional garb, you know, princely stuff, Coreen's handling that.."

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange your travel..what? Yes..who? " her mother is bringing someone??

"Uh, okay sure. Well, love you too, gotta go okay.." Vicki flipped her phone shut. Her mother was seeing someone and she talked to her so little, she didn't even know PLUS she forgotten to call her about the wedding. Being a mother now herself, Vicki understood alot more. She knew she would be more than hurt, Vicki would want to kick someone's ass but quick.

She sighed.

"Henry, if you only knew what I was going through for you..." she smiled knowing that he would soon know.

When Vicki got home, the twins were still sleeping so she decided to nap. She fell quickly into sleep, dreaming that she was in a castle, an old castle. The walls were cold and damp. Their were voices coming from a room down the corrider. She followed the sounds.

"...but he says he's going to marry me and make Henry the heir..no one else has given him a son.." the beautiful young woman cried, in obvious agony.

Then Vicki saw it...her dress. The one Cindy had sold..well given to her since the shop was gone when they turned around. She still felt bad for that, like she had stolen something.

"Lizzie, look, you know how he is..besides, look at little Henry. He's beautiful! He's all yours.." the woman was trying to comfort the girl. She looked like a female version of Henry, long soft brown locks, waving down around her shoulders, beautiful eyes, even a dainty cleft in her chin.

Vicki slowly turned to the young boy sitting on the floor, drawing..he turned to look as if to look at Vicki and ..it was Ward! Or it looked like Ward. He grinned that big grin that Ward and Henry both have. Vicki looked back at the two women and they too turned as if to look at her, as if they could see her. The older woman comforting Vicki looked a lot like Cindy.

"You must believe, have faith..." Elizabeth told her..

Vicki sat up in bed with a start, gasping for air, sweating..

Was that real?? She didn't have time to mull over things as the twins came bounding into her room.

"Mommy! You're home! Gwen said you would play with us when you got home. Will you?" Abbie asked pulling her mother out of bed.

Good, distraction, that's what she needed. Quality time with her kids.

They got a quick snack, then decided they would play go fish first.

"Okay, got any eights?" Ward asked his mother.

"Nope, go fish." Vicki answered.

"Got any twos?" Abbie asked.

"Nope, go fish," was again her response.

"Got any queens?"Vicki asked Ward.

"Nope, goldfish." He was still having some wording issues, they were working on that. Vicki giggled at the two of them.

They finished their game and the kids decided they wanted to play outside for bit. Henry had done several things for them over the past few months.

He had built a special room out back similar to Tori's room, mats, weights, bars, lots of stuff that Abbie liked, kind of like someone else he knew. He had added a room for Ward for his drawing. He had hired someone to build a huge wooden castle with slides, tunnels, a tower and swings attached. They also had a trampoline, much to Vicki's chagrin, but with their abilities popping up, they had to be prepared. One of those would eventually involve "flying" around, so Henry thought a trampoline would help curb some of that in the house.

He had been right.

What he hadn't known was how much Vicki would love it too, though that was to remain secret.

Vicki got on and jumped, flipped and tumbled right along with her kids.

Vicki was enjoying the day, just her and the twins. The twins had gone over to the castle to play, Vicki stayed on the tramp watching them. She noticed something out of the corner of her eye...the girl from her dream..Elizabeth.

Vicki feared that Coreen had been right..the dress was not Elizabeth's but was cursed and she was losing her mind...
