A.N.- Okay I've decided on the baby daddy. I know I just posted the other chapter today, but my friends who read my story, but never review (thanks guys) thought it would be good to go with whom I am going with. Read On!
RPOV:
"Liss? Who's the father?" I asked.
"He is." She said pointing back towards Christian.
I turned to see the last person I ever wanted to see under these conditions.
It had been a month since Lissa had turned up on our doorstep, with a few passengers. One being the father of the others, that's right more than one. Anyway after Adrian, a.k.a. the father, forgave me for almost killing him (He got my best friend knocked up! I think he deserves a good punch(es) to the face. No one else agreed.), they agreed to stay here with us.
We had started out with ten free bedrooms, then nine since we gave one to Saffron. Lissa and Adrian agreed to share a room, so we are down to eight. Another was being remodeled for the babies (once again plural!!!) so now there were seven. Adrian and Lissa came with two guardians a piece, down to three rooms. Okay at first I was worried I'd have too much time to myself, now I'm either training with the guardians or Saffron, playing with Saffron or sleeping.
My two charges (Even though it isn't official I think of Saffron as my charge) had went into town with Eddie (One of Lissa's guardian and my friend), Adrian and the other three guardians, so Lissa and me lay by the ocean, sunbathing. Her stomach was huge, but considering it held two baby girls in there I thought it was real small.
"So when are you due?" I asked trying to make small talk.
"A few weeks." She said. I counted the months; it had been only seven months since graduation.
"Are you sure it's weeks, not months?"
"Yes." She said. I could feel her guiltiness seeping through the bond.
"Oh my god! You cheated on Christian!" I exclaimed, bolting upright.
"Rose." She said. I ignored her.
"He was so nice to you and you go and slept with Adrian!"
"Rose."
"Then you kiss that guy and Christian dumps you! And you act all hurt. Then next thing I know you show up on Christian's doorstep eight months pregnant…"
"Rose!" She yelled. Her face had a mixture of fear and pain. She was clutching at her stomach.
"What?" I yelled.
"My water broke." She said in the same tone.
"What?" I was quieter this time, "Shit!" I just put together the words and the tone, "Oh my god! Your joking right!" She shook her head.
In one motion I had her in my arms and my cell phone pressed to my ear.
"911. How may I help you?"
"My friend is giving birth!"
"Where should I send an ambulance?"
"The four by fours."
"I'm sorry, we cannot send ambulances into the four by fours. If she really needs us come here. It is probably just a contraction."
"Fuck You!!!" I hung up.
"Rose be nice!" Lissa said. We had reached the house and I ran to her bedroom. On my way a saw a figure at the door, it was Abe.
"Come in if you must!" I yelled not pausing. I heard the front door open and close, then footsteps running after us.
I laid her on her bed. "She isn't having a baby, is she?" Abe asked from beside me.
"No. She is having two." I said frantically. I had no idea how to do this. I couldn't deliver these babies.
"Rose, go sit down. I will handle this." He gave Lissa a few instructions, "Rose, go get two towels." I did as I was told.
After a lot of pushing on Lissa's part, Abe had a little baby girl in his hands, "Rose take her." I took her from him. Wrapping her in one towel. I placed her in one of the cribs we had moved in here. More pushing on Lissa's part and soon there was another little girl in Abe's hands. He wrapped her up in a blanket and handed her to Lissa. I picked up the other baby girl and sat on the bed next to Lissa.
"What are you going to name them?" I asked Lissa.
"I think that one," She indicated the one in my arms, "Should be named Jade. I mean look at her eyes!" She was right. The baby girl had Adrian's jade-green eyes.
"That's a good one for her Jade." I stared down at the baby-girl. Her green eyes stared up at mine. Her mouth was open in the shape of an O. She already had a head-full of blonde hair, "What about her?" I asked pointing to the baby Lissa held.
"Um. Clarissa." She said.
"That's a pretty name."
"Girls. You should probably let them sleep." Abe said from his place in the corner. I had forgotten he was there.
"Okay." Lissa said, heading out the door.
"Lissa. Wait. The paint is still wet, remember." We had had it repainted to a pink for the baby girls.
"Oh. Where are we going to put them?" She asked confused.
"Dad, follow me. Bring the cribs." I walked out of the room and into mine, "They can sleep here. I'll share rooms with Saffron until the paint dries." I said.
"No you can't!" Lissa protested.
"I can and I will!" I argued back.
We went on like this until I finally won. We set the babies in their cribs Abe had brought in. Lissa gave Abe her thanks and then went to sleep in her and Adrian's bed.
I went upstairs to watch TV. Abe followed. He sat down on the couch as I fiddled around with the remotes (why do you need five remotes for one a TV?). I went to join him. I leaned into him. For once he actually seemed like a father. He had just delivered my best friend's babies and had no bodyguards with him. I had asked him about why he had showed up here, he simply said he wanted to congratulate me in person on graduating.
It was late afternoon when Abe left. Lissa and the babies were still sleeping so I decided to make myself some dinner. Well one small kitchen fire later, I found out one of two things. One: I couldn't cook to save my life (I had been making a sandwich and I set in the microwave to attempt to grill it (Not my best idea)). And Two: If your friend is giving birth at a beach house an ambulance can't come. Set a sandwich on fire, they send you two fire trucks. Ironic, huh?
As the last fire truck left, a confused Christian and interested Saffron came in. They both looked at me, the signature Ozera-smirk on their faces. I was holding the burnt sandwich in one hand.
"Damn microwave." I said as I slid the sandwich off the plate and into the garbage, "Guess what! I'm sharing a room with you Saffron!"
"Why?" She asked. Adrian walked in the door.
"Adrian! Follow me!" I yelled rushing forward to grab his hand. I dragged him down to Jade and Clarissa's room, "Shhhh…."
I walked into the room. Adrian followed. He looked at the babies. "Oh. My. God." Was all he said, "What are their names?"
"Jade and Clarissa." I said gesturing to each baby, "I leave you to your babies, Ivashkov." I walked out of the room and back to where Christian and Saffron were watching TV.
She was sitting on his lap, asleep. He met my eyes. I could see the question in his eyes. I nodded. He got up and walked off towards her room. I sat down on the couch. They had been watching the late-night Barney shows. I smiled to myself; Christian was a good big brother.
I felt an arm go around my waist. I was pulled onto someone's lap. I looked up into dazzling blue eyes.
"Want to try this for a third time?" He asked.
I nodded. We both leaned in. Closer. Closer. "Oh my god!" It was Saffron. Christian pulled away, swearing under his breath. Fuck Not Again.
"Saffron. Go to bed." I said to her.
"What were you just doing?" She asked, suspiciously.
"Nothing. I had something in my eye. Your brother was trying to see what it was."
"I'm going to pretend to buy that story." She began to walk away, "Oh and Rose. I won't be offended if you don't sleep in my room tonight. Just be safe." Oh my god! Is she really eight!
"Okay Saffs." I said. She turned and left. I looked at Christian. We started laughing so hard. Eventually we composed ourselves.
"Shall we try again?" He asked.
I giggled, "Let's."
He leaned in, as did I. Closer. Closer. I saw Lissa come in out of the corner of my eyes. She smirked, put her hands in front of her and backed out the way she came. Be Safe. Her thoughts rang through my head.
And finally, after three tries, our lips met. It was pure bliss. Our lips moved together as one. Soon our innocent little kiss became stronger and deeper. He pressed he against the back of the couch, one hand gripping the back on either side of my head. Soon he pulled away for air. I stood up and grabbed his hand. I pulled him into he room. As soon as the door shut our lips met. We fell over onto the bed. He was on top of me. I grabbed the bottom of his shirt. I pulled it up and off. He looked at me, as if asking permission. I nodded. More and more cloths were shed. And the rest was history.
A.N.-Well I decided to stop teasing Rose and Christian. The questions for this update are:
Should Rose and Christian have a baby?
and
Should Adrian and Lissa have another?
And first of all: I picked Adrian to be the baby daddy because, I lost my book, so I couldn't really get the genetics (hair and eyes) for Jesse and Ralph. So I chose Adrian because I know what he looks like. And just because Jesse and Ralph aren't these babies' daddy, doesn't mean a certain Belikov won't have a little "conversation" with Jesse. *Wink* *Wink* :-D So here is another question:
Which Belikov and when should they show up?
