Chapter 5: Lost and Found…

~SOME MONTHS LATER (SIX)~

Alice rolled over to her side, Blood's breath on her neck. "Ughhh Blood, you're turn." She moaned as the Twins cried loudly. No reply. "Blooooooooooooooooodddd." Alice whispered. Still nothing.

She rolled her eyes as she reluctantly got up, and quietly walked into the Twin's nursery. They were getting their own different rooms on their first birthday… which was far away still.

Alice sighed and gently picked up both Ebony and Phoenix as she sat down in the rocking chair. Slowly, the twins fell asleep, and Alice, content with holding them, settled herself and them in her arms, and drifted to sleep. Blood woke up in the morning, to an empty bed. He quickly sat up, and changed, heading towards the nursery. He then paused at the door and smiled.

Alice was still asleep, holding both of the Twins. She had a peaceful expression on her face, as she inhaled and exhaled peacefully. Blood chuckled softly, and turned to watch Alice wake, as she stirred. "mmm… Bloody-chan?" she mumbled. She slowly stood up, arching her back as she did so, only stretching her arms when the Twins were in their cribs.

"Are you okay?" Blood asked Alice. She shook her head. "This is like, the hundredth time I've woken up in the rocking chair." Alice said, grimacing. Blood laughed.
"Take a day off." Alice froze, her arms above her head, as she slowly turned around. "An entire day?" Blood nodded. "How much trouble can these two cause?"

Alice looked as if she was going to say something. But instead, she smiled, and chirped, "Yes please."

~LATER~

"Do you have everything you need?"

"Probably the whole Mansion and the Castle."

"… So do you?"

"Yes. Yes I do." Alice said with a smile.

"Do you have everything you need? Do you know where the diapers are, the food, the clothes, the cupcakes?"

Blood nodded. Alice smiled, and kissed him. "Bye then."

And like that, Alice was in the carriage. As soon as she felt the carriage move, Alice couldn't hold back her laughter.

"He has NO idea how troublesome those two are, does he?"

Blood stood in the Twin's room, and smiled at the two sleeping Twins.

"How much trouble can they be?"

~~~~….~~~~

Blood face palmed. Again. It had only been one time period, and they couldn't find the diapers. "ELVA!" Blood screamed, scrunching his nose as he tried to hold both his children. A faceless maid walked in. "Boss, I'll do this." She said. In less then a minute, she had cleaned the Twins up, and was leaving, as she handed the spoils of war to Blood.

"Ehhhh… What's this?" He said, leaning as far back as he could, while stretching his arms away from him.

"I think I should throw these away…" Blood said, making a disgusted face.

He settled the Twins down on the floor, who sat up and played with some wooden boxes.

"Now stay here." Blood said, as he went out to throw them out.

When he came back, both Twins were crying.

"Shhhhh…" Blood said, as he picked up Phoenix, trying to soothe him. Ebony, still in her crib, started to cry. "Shhh…. Not you too Ebony…." Blood complained.

Elliot walked into the room, holding a highhhh stack of papers. "Blood, we need to get these signed…" Blank stares were exchanged. "Umm… Blood wheres Alice?" Elliot asked, looking around. "I let her go to a spa… for an entire day…"

Elliot stared at Blood.

"So you told Alice you'd watch the Twins? Without any help?" He asked surprised.

Blood nodded. "It seemed like a good idea at the time…" he said. Elliot chuckled. "Want me to help?"

"Yes." Came Bloods quick reply. "I'll be back in a second." Elliot said. He went to drop the papers in Blood's office, and quickly came back. When he walked in, the cries were louder.

Blood was holding both Twins in each arm. He looked at Elliot who reached out and held Phoenix, who had now stopped crying, as well as Ebony, who was staring at her father with the same intensity her brother was staring at his uncle. They had their mother's gene's after all…

"OW, OW, OWW!" Elliot screamed, hopping from one foot to the other. Phoenix giggled. Phoenix was yanking on Elliot's ears, giggles filling the room, and Phoenix's tiny hold become tighter.

Blood chuckled, cradling Ebony, who was strangely silent… She suddenly reached up, and grabbed a tiny fist full of her father's long, soft hair.

"OW, OW, OWWW!" The Mafia Boss yelled. The shouts of 'OW' filled the room. A faceless maid heard, and slowly, she peered into the room. She held back her laughter, and slowly walked away.

Both men were hopping from foot to foot, their facial expression controlled in pain, yet they huddled the child they held closer to them.

"Ow, Ebony, ow, let go of my hair."

"Phoenix! It hurts! Let go of my ears!"

Both Blood and Elliot whined. Both Twins looked at each other, and in a weird, Twins like manner, they both let go of their holds on Blood's hair, and Elliot's ears. They quickly put the Twins doen, and rubbed their yanked ears. "Lets go get some ice?" Elliot suggested. Blood nodded.

~MEANWHILE~

Alice stepped out of the carriage, stretching her arms above her. "It's so nice to not be sitting down." She exhaled.

"This way Mrs. Dupre." A worker of the spa said. Alice nodded, following the women dressed in a white short dress.

"Please disrobe here. There's a towel when you want to come out. The spa is to your right." Alice nodded, and as soon as she heard the door lock, she undressed, and she slipped into a towel. She walked towards the hot tub, and slowly sat down.

"I wonder how Blood's doing…"

~Blood & Elliot; Seven Time Periods~

"Where's Ebony?"

"I don't know!"

"What?!"

"Where's Phoenix?"

"…"

"…"

"You mean we lost both of them?"

Elliot and Blood slowly looked at each other, as the time period changed again. "We only have one time period." Blood said. He walked over to his desk, and over the intercom-which they so happened to place a few time periods ago- said:

"ATTENTION ALL HATTER EMPLOYES! WE HAVE A PROBLEM ON OUR HANDS! THE TWINS ARE MISING! WE NEED TO FIND THEM BEFORE ALICE COMES BACK. THANK YOU!"

Silence. Then the sudden bustle of movement as the workers rushed around. Elliot looked at Blood, and Blood looked at him.

"We should start looking."

"Where can they be?" "Why are you asking me Blood? I was with you."

The time period changed. Silence.

"BOSS! MRS. DUPRE ARRIVED"

Blood quickly ran to the nursery, mentally preparing himself with a reason.

He pushed open the door, and saw Alice. He opened the door wider to see….

Alice was rocking the crib, the two Twins fast asleep. Alice turned to face Blood, a smile on her face.

"Wow Blood. I come home and the twins are fast asleep. It takes me forever. How's you do it?"

Blood swallowed, and walked towards Alice, hugging her.

"I have no idea Alice. No idea at all."
