Today is my 19th birthday yaaaaaay! I would like to start it out by giving you guys another chapter :D

Hope you enjoy.

Sydney's POV

"Mama, look what I can do," said Joel happily.

Joel was riding on Spartacus's back like a horse and using his collar as reigns. I couldn't help but smile at the display. Joel had grown up so much in the last five years; he was so much like his father, he held mischief in his green eyes and a charming smirk he had when he was ready to tell a joke. He inherited beautiful gold hair and strong cheek bones from me. I took Joel and Spartacus out to play in the garden. It was a beautiful spring day, the sun was out, the birds were singing, and the flowers were in bloom.

"Be careful sweetheart," I said.

"Ok, mommy."

He continued to ride like the prince he is, Just, graceful, and confident. When I married Adrian I had inherited the title Princess; at first it made me uneasy but I soon learned to be proud of my new position. Adrian's family welcomed me with open arms and his friends immediately liked me and treated as though we've been friends forever. And I liked it.

I had a family again.

Joel and I came to the edge of the garden where Eddie, Angeline, and Dimitri did their training every morning. Joel was always happy to see them spar and would often ask to join in; the Dhampirs loved Joel and treated him like a nephew, in fact, Joel calls Dimitri "Uncle Dimka", Eddie "Uncle Ed," and Angeline "Aunty Angel"; which I thought was adorable.

They were in the middle of a sparring match when Joel ran up to them.

"Uncle Dimka," Joel shouted. Dimitri picked him up and spun him in the air.

"How's my favorite little nephew?"asked Dimitri happily, still holding him.

"Good, I want to play, I want to play, I want to play," he said excitedly.

"Ok, ok," Dimitri said and puts him down.

"Now, you be on Aunty Angel's team and both of you will have to defeat me and Uncle Ed, can you do that?" Dimitri explained.

"Yes I can," said Joel, eager to learn how to fight.

"Ok, little man ready to kick Ed and Dimka's butt?" said Angeline.

"Yes"

"Alright, Joel show me what your made of," said Eddie.

I sat down on the grass and watched proudly as my son sparred with his 'Aunt and Uncle's'. I was too engrossed in the match I didn't realize that Adrian came to sit by me, he gave me a kiss and held me from behind bringing me on his lap.

"I am so proud of him, fiercely proud; he will make a great king someday," Adrian said.

"Well, what do you expect? He's strong, brave, and funny," I turn to face him, "Like you."

He smiles, "he's also smart, charming, and beautiful; just like his mother,"

"He has the best of both of us."

We both sat there in silence watching our son play 'warrior'; no doubt he will be the fighter when he is all grown up.

Adrian's POV

I never thought a day would come where I would have a beautiful wife and a wonderful son. I was so happy but I had concerns. I've been receiving threatening letters from Jarrod Sage, Sydney's stepfather. I haven't told Sydney for fear she might worry. The threats were frightening to me, one particular:

Adrian,

Or should I call you creature? It's more fitting don't you think? You have corrupted and tainted an innocent girl and you will never suffer enough for it. I will find you; and when I do, I will enjoy running a stake through your heart. And I will enjoy watching that little bastard of yours burn.

And Sydney? I will have her watch you both die.

Kindest regards

J. Sage.

Every time I think about that letter, it sends chills through my spine; which is why I have asked my parents to send more security; And my guardians have been teaching me to fight. I told them what was going on so that they're on the lookout.

I will be ready when you find me Jarrod, and when you come I'm gonna kill you. I will lay down my life before I let you take a person that I love.

I hope you guys liked that, please R&R. Anyways its my birthday and im gonna get CHOCOLATE WASTED! HAHAHA. Love you guys xoxo. BTW thank you ABprongslett for following and reviewing my story ;). Cant wait read your next chapter.
