Three years later

"Maya . . . no." I told my daughter that was a year and several months for like the billionth time it seemed. Adrian was gone for a business trip and I found myself pregnant again. I had two children already and this was my third pregnancy. But unlike my former pregnancies, I was carrying two babies this pregnancy. I was already six months pregnant and had found out that I was going to have two boys. Adrian and I had planned for three kids only and now we were getting four. It was all good, though.

"Maya . . ." I warned my daughter and she just smiled. Maya Samantha Ivashkov looked like me. A lot like me. Black hair. Long fingers exactly like mine. Lips shaped like mine. Eyes shaped the same way mine were. The only thing she had from Adrian was his color of eyes, though Maya's eyes were the darkest kind of green. Forest-green. And she and I both shared the crazy attitudes. I didn't even want to think about when she got older. Maya's birth had been the easiest out of her birth and Dante's birth. I had gotten an epidural for her birth. Of course it still hurt while birthing her but it didn't hurt as much as it had when Dante was born. Maya did not cry one bit when she born. Well, she did a little. But quieted after two minutes. And unlike Dante, she had been asleep when the nurses first handed her to Adrian and I.

"Maya, baby, he's sleeping . . ." Dante was asleep on the bed too. She liked torturing Dante. Whenever he was asleep, she liked poking him and waking him up. The more you told her to stop, the more she did it just to annoy you. When Adrian was out, I liked to sleep all my children with me. I just felt safe with them there.

When I saw Dante stir, I took Maya in my arms and took her in my lap. My phone vibrated on the side table. It was probably Adrian. Maya did not like being held. She was nor daddy's princess, nor mommy's girl. She liked to be by herself.

"Hey, baby. How are you?"

"I'm great. How our babies? And you?"

"I'm tired. Dante is sleeping and Maya is being her usual bitchy self. And the twins are fine, too." I told him, stroking my belly.

"I am so jealous right now. You get to hold our babies right now and I can't. I miss you, love."

"I do, too. Just one more day."

"A couple more hours for me."

"Did the other company finally sign the contract?"

"Last night, I made a point they liked and they finally signed. Let's not talk about business. Let's talk about us."

"Hmm . . . I am so tired." Maya had somehow crawled out of my hands.

"Go to sleep then, baby."

"Nah, I want to talk to you."

"I love you . . ."

"FUCK!" I screamed when I saw what Maya was doing.

"Can't . . . you're too far away, though I would love to, baby." I heard him chuckle.

I laughed and said, "You're daughter just shoved something in her mouth."

"That girl . . . how did we make such a crazy baby?"

"I don't know. But I'm glad we're almost done making babies."

"Babe, I love you. Call me tomorrow."

"Alright." He hung up.

Ten seconds later, the phone was vibrating again. It was Adrian. "I thought we agreed you would call me tomorrow."

"It is tomorrow. Well, your time. You hung up at 11:59 and its now midnight so its tomorrow."

"When did I marry such a ridiculous husband?"

He laughed softly. "I'll be there later on . . . won't be much time to miss me any longer."

"I can't wait till you get home. You have no idea what I have planned to do to you."

"Oh, yeah? Like what?"

He probably thought I was going to say something sexy. "Make you watch the kids while I sleep my ass off."

He snorted. "Of course you would say something like that. You sound tired. Go to sleep, baby. And when you start dreaming, you know I'll be there. I love you."

"Love you, too. Bye." I hung up the phone and tucked Maya next to me. The good thing about her was she slept right away. I loved that. It took me a few minutes to get comfortable. First I had to go pee. The urge to pee was just stronger in this pregnancy because I supported two babies on top of my bladder. After that, I slipped on my old lady pajamas. I would have slept naked but I only slept naked with Adrian. It would be wrong to sleep naked with my children in my bed. That thought safe and tucked away, I went to get inside my humongous bed. Once my back hit the supremely soft bed. A soft moan escaped my lips. It was minutes before I was out.

As soon as I began dreaming, Adrian was there, changing my dream so that we were in his grandmother's house. We were in the spot that had a small little creek with fishes inside it and flowers and trees surrounding it. It was beautiful. The most calming place on Earth, in my opinion that was.

Arms wrapped around me, putting both hands on my belly. I looked down at myself and noticed I was wearing a teal bikini that was made for maternity use.

"Beautiful as always."

I rotated so I was facing him. He rested both hands on my back and I rested my hands around his neck. "Remember this?" I asked looking around.

"Of course I do. We had lots of fun here." He said a little mischievously.

"That we did . . ." I said and chuckled.

"Those days of our honeymoon were the best of my life, that is until our kids were born." Adrian and I continued reminiscing about the days we spent over at his grandmother's house. We talked and laughed about the good times. After an hour or so, (time meant nothing in dream mode) Adrian had to leave because the plane was going to leave him. He gave me a huge kiss as we parted. It was all good because I was going to see him soon.

( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )

"Maya, baby . . . that is not nice." I scolded my daughter as she threw a toy car at Dante's forehead. Always looking for trouble. It was not easy to take care of two children while cooking dinner. Adrian was only a couple minutes away from coming home so I was kind of relieved. Jade was here, as usual. Lissa was visiting today. Christian wasn't here. It was because of him precisely that she was here. Their relationship was turning a turn for the worse, I presumed.

I had never seen Lissa drink an ounce of liquor, much less a quarter of a bottle. Right now, I was looking at her with disapproval. I took the bottle away as she began pouring another round of liquor.

"Rose, give it back. I'm going through a really hard time right now." Tears began to fall out of her eyes.

"I know you are. But drinking won't solve anything." Jade put in.

"Do you really think Christian would leave me?"

"Lissa, I know Christian. He won't leave you. All marriages have arguments. It's the norm. Arguments are needed to keep a marriage sane because then later comes the reconciliation, which is quite fun." She laughed softly, but I could see she was still sad about Christian. Lissa had seen Christian with another woman. They hadn't been doing anything wrong but Lissa always took things to the extreme. Christian had gotten upset and crazy, I guess, and had threatened her with leaving. "You have two kids. I don't think he's going to leave you easy."

"You don't understand, Rose. I know he's been seeing someone else behind my back. We fight all the time. I don't know why I am still with him." She put her head in her hands. "He's been acting all crazy. Sometimes I feel as if he wants me out of the house. It's not the same anymore."

"If he kicks you out, you know you have a house here."

She lifted her face. "Thanks, Rose. You're the best."

"And my house is always your house." Jade said to her and put a hand over Lissa's and squeezed it.

"Thank you, Jade. I love you guys."

"My princess your prince has finally arrived." Adrian said from the hallway. Dante started running towards him as soon he came into view. "Daddy!"

Adrian lifted Dante and into his arms. "Hey there, big guy. I missed you!" Kids would never be too old to be your babies. Finally Maya took her sweet time getting up the table I had bought for her and Dante to eat their meals. She walked to Adrian. "Hi, daddy."

Adrian lifted her up in his arms as well. "Hey, princess." He gave her a huge kiss on the forehead. And she kissed him back. The cutest thing. All I could do was stare with wonder in my eyes. "I hope you behaved well for your mommy. I brought you guys something, but let me go say hi to mommy first." With both kids in his hands, Adrian walked up to me and gave me a good kiss. I saw Lissa look at us with sadness in her eyes. "Babe . . . it sure feels nice to have you back in my arms."

He kissed me once more and Maya said, "Ewwww." Adrian and I both chuckled at that. She squired in Adrian's arms, gave her daddy a kiss, and went to go run off where Dante had.

"Rose?"

I looked over at Lissa. She was really upset. "Yeah, Liss?"

She swallowed. She looked like she wanted to cry. "I'm going to head out." She came over and hugged me tight. "It's going to be okay." I whispered in her ear. When she left, her eyes were brimmed with tears.

"We're going to be going, too." Jade said. "I want to give my husband a little welcome back." She said cheekily. She hugged both her brother and I before she left.

That left Adrian and me alone and it was good.

"What's wrong with, Liss?"

"She thinks Christian is cheating on her."

Adrian had always looked out for Lissa. I saw the sadness in his eyes. Lissa and Christian had always been having problems. "I hope things get better between them or if they don't, I hope she leaves him first chance she gets."

"When you love someone . . . you forget all about their flaws and everything; you just want to love them, every part of that someone."

"Yeah, that's love."

The subject we were talking about was depressing. I changed the subject and asked random questions about the trip and the contract people from Australia had signed. He asked questions about the kids and the babies that were growing inside me. It was when we were sitting down for dinner that we talked about depressing subjects again.

"Oh, I just remembered. Guess who I saw in Australia?"

I raised an eyebrow.

"I saw Dimitri."

There went my good mood. "And?"

"And he's . . . changed."

"How?"

"Oh, God. It's hilarious." He started laughing, quite hysterically.

"What?!" I was getting frustrated because he wouldn't tell me. "Adrian Ivashkov! I am seconds away from slapping you!"

He took a deep breath and coughed a few time to hide his laughs. "You'll never guess."

"Guess what?"

"Did you know that Dimitri is gay?" He paused to laugh. Then continued. "Like seriously. He loves men."

I was shocked. "You're kidding, right?"

"No joke."

"Okay, I don't understand your humor. There is nothing wrong with gayness and lesbianism."

"No there is nothing wrong with that." He paused for a breath. "What's funny is that—"

He paused again for a laugh. "Adrian! Tell me!"

"Well, what's funny is that Dimitri tried hooking up with my dad and your dad. It was hysterical. I wish you would have been there. Our dads was scared. And you know how Nathan Ivashkov and Abe Mazur are not scared of anything."

I burst out laughing. I could see it all in my head. This buff Dimitri walking up to Nathan and my dad, looking all manly and stuff and trying to hook up with our dads. It was funny as hell. We spent most of the night laughing.

A Couple months later . . .

Adrian rubbed my back as we made our way to the entrance of the hospital. I was nervous. Today was my scheduled C-section so that I could finally bring my twins to this world and see the little creatures I carried for almost nine months. It was very dark outside. It was 6:30 A.M. and I was tired. I had not gotten much sleep last night because I had been nervous. Nerves never helped when trying to get sleep.

I was glad Adrian was here, for if not, I was sure I would fallen apart already. Adrian's mom had volunteered to watch the kids. She would bring them later on when the twins were born.

The receptionist made me wait half an hour so that they could get a room ready for me. I tried to breathe right. Every minute that passed meant that I was going to see my babies a lot sooner. Adrian continued to rub my back, my belly, my hands. He was very attentive. I was so proud that he was my husband.

Finally a nurse came and they put me in a wheel chair so that I could be wheeled the maternity floor. Since a C-section was a surgical procedure, they had to make some tests on me so that they could see if I was physically capable of a C-section. Two hours passed and somehow the hospital room brought a faint feeling of contractions.

They told me all the risks of the C-section and they promised everything was going to be alright. I believed them. Adrian was there, too, to hold my hand as I walked to the surgery room where my cesarean was going to take place. Everybody was dressed in this blue scrubs. I laid down on the bed and the anesthesiologist injected the anesthesia.

As soon as I was numb, the doctors began their work. It felt weird. I couldn't feel it, but I felt it. It was like when you're foot fell asleep and you touched your foot . . . you felt it but you didn't feel it, if that made sense. It felt sort of like that. Like somebody was touching you, but you couldn't quite feel it.

A few minutes later, I heard a wonderful cry.

A nurse held up my first son so I could see him. I began crying. More minutes passed and then another cry. Again a nurse held up the baby so that I could see them. I was numb and I couldn't move anything. I couldn't hold them yet. It was horrible. I just wanted to hold them in my hands. Adrian was taking pictures of them and I cried my ass off.

Adrian looked at me. "We have four kids . . . our family is complete." I smiled. I was very happy.

Aww . . . so cute! I wrote a Night World FF . . . I would appreciate it a lot if you read it and told me what you thought of it. Thanks a lot! Please review!
