A/N: OK, as there weren`t any reviews, you`ll need to know now, there are no new people. And that doesn`t mean that there won`t be.

*Still Trudy`s POV*

A loud yell "RUFUS?! HOW?!"

"Surprised to see me, I see. And Trudy. You escaped my clutches last time, and now you`re a mother. Very protective of your babies as well. It`d be a shame to see anything happen to them."

I said "Leave my family alone. They`ve not wronged you. Whatever you have against me, please don`t take out on them."

"Would I do that?"

Yes, he would!

"Come, now, Trudy. These two are as beautiful as their mum."

Nina said "How did you escape?"

"Oh, I know a few people. I`m not here to discuss that anyway. I`m here for a chat with this little escapee."

I whispered "You can take me, I don`t care, but leave my husband and babies alone. Leave my students alone, they haven`t done anything to anger you."

"Oh, no? Well, I`m sure you`d love to know that your precious students and husband have been lying to your face. Haven`t you ever wondered where these children kept disappearing to? Or where your husband went when he wasn`t at your side?"

"I have, but I trust them. I know they aren`t stupid enough to go walking into trouble voluntarily, like I did."

"Oh, they did, little Trudykins. They did. Miss Martin and her five little friends went on a search for the Cup of Ankh and the Mask Of Anubis. Your Jasper here, he was helping me try to secure the Mask. It was down to him that I got that dollhouse. It was him who gave me the keys to the exhibition. You saw that, didn`t you, his little angel? It was him who told me that he loves you and would protect you from me at all costs, when I told him I`d seen you two kissing. Oh yes, little Trudy, I saw it all."

My jaw fell. I looked at their guilty expressions.

"Yes, little miss. You`re such an oblivious girl. That`s why he married you. He knew he can sneak around and date behind your back. He lied to you. Remember the opening ball? You hid in that cupboard? He found you and you said you were fixing the hem of your dress? How you asked him who I was? And he told you to mind your own business? That day when the Bell was stolen? He told you Vera`s cut was a coincidence? That she was innocent? Lies. You know Vera was involved."

"Yes, I know. But I don`t think that that`s any reason not to trust them. He was doing what he thought would keep me out of trouble. And for that, I love him even more. And look. If I didn`t trust him, would we be married? Would I have had these twins? No, I wouldn`t. We love each other, we trust each other and nothing you say will change that."

*Jasper`s POV*

My sweet wife, she`s so brave. I do love and trust her. I would never sneak around and cheat on her. She`s the only one I will ever love. And she should know it.

"Oh, Trudy, Trudy, Trudy. You innocent, naive, and sweet child. What young girl doesn`t want her life to be a fairy tale? You`re not a fairy tale princess. You`re a real woman. Life isn`t a dream. You`re still a child, for all you`re full grown."

"I don`t care. I may be innocent and naive, I may be a real person, but why should that mean life can`t be a fairy tale? Where`s the fun in being an adult all the time? I may be a full grown woman, but I will be a child mentally for the rest of my life."

"Aw, look. She thinks she can be a child. Well, sweetheart, life isn`t like that. You need to be a mature adult now, you have twins to care for."

"I will raise my babies to be confident in their abilities and stay as childlike as they want. Who are you to give me parenting advice? You don`t even have your own children."

"So? I don`t really need to have children to have fun. I just look at this crowd of them and feel sick. You`ve been cooped up with them too long, you`re all mushy."

"Thanks, but I love these kiddies. They`re like my own. If you had some, maybe you`d be a little nicer."

I said "Trudy, darling. You have nothing to prove to this lunatic. He hasn`t got a clue about you. He doesn`t know that you`re the sweetest woman to walk this Earth."

"Thanks, sweet pea."

"God, Jasper, this weirdo has turned you into a mushball. She`s pretty, but she`s made you all soft and gooey."

"No, she hasn`t. I love her. Haven`t you ever had a special woman in your life?"

"Sarah."

"Who?"

"Sarah Frobisher-Smythe. She passed away two years ago. She was the light of my life. I will never let her memory fade."

Trudy started crying.

"Babe?"

I went and cuddled her.

"What is it, my darling?"

She couldn`t speak. She just gestured at her throat and sobbed.

"What, darling?"

Rufus said "I think she`s saying that her throat hurts?"

Trudy shook her head, then repeated her gesture.

Amber said "Are you scared of being killed?"

Trudy nodded and sobbed more. I held onto her.

"Who`s threatened you?"

She choked out "Rufus, Vera, and Jason."

Then a loud shriek "JASON?! Why?!"

"I- I c-caught him with... with the elixir. A-And he was... he was g-g-going t-t-to drink it and then... I pushed it from his hands, and... and he... he... he tried to... to stab me. I ran... ran from...from him and he- he chased me. Into the woods. But... now... he- he`s out there. He swore he`d- he`d get me, one day."

I held onto her as she cried.

"That little toad. If he comes within spitting distance of you, he will have more than one problem to deal with."

Trudy pressed her hands to her face, sobbing.

"Well, that guy`s trying to take my job! He`s got me to answer to."

"Hey, don`t you hurt my wife! She`s not done anything to hurt you, leave her alone!"

Then in came Victor...
