The slowly approached the house that Em had fallen inlove with. The house the held her babies. The house that held so many memories for Emelina and her husband.As they neared her home, Em smelt the scent of another vampire. Her eyes widened and she hissed under her breath. No. In the house? That was where it was coming from. She didn't smell any humans. She didn't smell anything other then the faint smell of the children and a vampire.
"Nick-Who is in the house?''She asked urgently."Who is watching my babies?''She asked in her quick, panicked tone, her eyes never let the house and she perched at the edge of her seat.

Nick watched Emelina confused and curiously when she asked who was watching the twins. "Uhm.. Mariah, the nanny that has been watching them since they were born," he explained. "Why?"
He didn't like the way she was reacting to whoever was in the house. Was Mariah a bad person? Could vampires detect when there was danger around? What was going on? All questions he wanted to ask, but didn't have the courage to do so.
He just hurried to the driveway and got out, waiting for Emelina before he made his way up to the walk and in through the front door. It looked as if the children were sleeping and Mariah, the seemingly sixty year old nanny, was sitting in the living room.

Em never looked at Nick when he answered her. Her eyes scanned the house and its surroundings at vampire speed. Her babies were with a vampire? Are you kidding? No. This wasnt right?"A year-she's been with them a year?''She hissed and fallowed after him and into the house. The smell got harsher and Em's eyes landed on the older vampire that sat in their living room. Em's eyes scanned her cautiously as she stood there frozen."This is her?''She asked quickly, staring at the 'women' without looking to Nick to ask. Asking as if the vampire wasnt sitting there so simpley-like she belonged in Emelina's house

Before Nick had the chance to answer Emelina, Mariah spoke up. "Mr. Locatis, the children are sleeping and I saved you some food in the refrigerator," she offered to him in a polite tone. He gave her a soft smile and nodded in thanks to her. She really was a sweet, old woman.
She then turned to Emelina. "Mrs. Locatis, I must say that I'm surprised, but it's nice to meet you," she said in a knowing look. Nick was thoroughly confused by this point and it showed in his expression.
"Would one of you be so kind as to tell me what the hell is going on," he asked, looking between the women.

Em stared , hawk like at the lady. But, good. The lady didn't call her husband by his name. How dare she invade her house like this. How-who-what did she want?Em could feel Nick's change in his body. She didn't bother with trying to calm him down. She was too distracted by this nanny of her husbands.
The women's comment to Em made a low hiss escape her lips as she stared the older women down.Nick spoke and em never dropped her gaze. The look on her face never softened."Mariah isnt who you think she is, NIck.''Em Spoke cooly"Im just trying to figure out why she is here.''Em spoke, folding her arms.

Nick snapped around to face Mariah when Emelina said she wasn't who he thought she was. What did she mean by that? He watched her and was curious at who she was and how Emelina knew that she wasn't who she said. He opened his mouth to speak, but closed it, not knowing what to say.
Mariah seemed to be able to know what he wanted to ask though and right before his eyes, she turned into a younger looking woman. Someone about his age, maybe a year or two older. She was pretty, Nick had to admit, but she didn't even begin to compare to Emelina.
He was shocked to say the least and it showed the way his mouth hung open just a little bit. He quickly closed it, trying not to look like a complete idiot. "A-Are you a vampire, too," he asked her. When she nodded, he looked back at Emelina.
He understood now.

Em continued to stare down the vampire female that was invading her house. What did she want? A fire ripped through her as she thought about the women being left alone with her babies.But, then she changed, morphed into a younger women. She was older then Em, but not too far off from Nick's age. A growl ripped through Emelina's chest as she clenched her fists and held her ground.
"Why are you here!''She asked in a menacing hiss."My family!''She ripped, stone faced and unbreathing as she glared at the women. How dare she? Threaten babies? Her husband? It was one thing for Em to be around them. They were her children. She had done everything because of them. She cold never hurt him. They were her flesh and blood. But for someone else to invade that, it just seemed personal. A year? This women got a year with her children that Em never had? The most precious time?
Part of her anger was heightened with her new born mind still slightly there, but Em was hurt that someone took her babies precious year and didn't know how to handle it.

Nick was watching Emelina very closely, unsure of what to expect from his wife. Her ripping growl scared him a little bit and he took a step back. This was not Emelina, not his Emelina. She was different, something that he felt he should fear more than he did.
He turned to Mariah and she gave him a soft smile. "I am truly sorry, Mrs. Locatis. I love kids and your husband seemed desperate for help. That's all I wanted to do, help. But, I see that you are back now and I will voluntarily make myself scarce," she told Emelina sincerely.
She gathered up her things in an instant and nodded to both of them. "You have wonderful children." With that being said, she made her way towards the door, but stopped to tell Nick goodbye and give him a small kiss on the cheek, one he flinched away from.

Em glowered at the vampire. How dare she put her family, her babies at risk. How dare she?The women smiled and spoke kindly, Em relaxed a bit, but didn't trust the women.Her jaw was clenched as she watched her and as soon as the women moved to her husband, Em had to hold herself back. Kiss her husband? Em hissed under her breath, something only the other vampire could hear.
"I do thank you for keeping my family alive. I thank you for not harming my children.But, If I find out you ever did anything wrong, you wont stay the way you are for long.''She said casually, trying to act as though she was relaxing when she really wasnt. This wasnt the best way to be with her husband for the first time,but, Em couldnt help it. She felt too threatened in her own home.

Nick watched as Mariah left after Emelina threatened her. He had never seen Emelina like that before. It scared him a little, but it intrigued him as well. He gave her a soft smile and then without another word, he made for the stairs.
He ascended them and walked into the room that the two of them had turned into a nursery for the twins. The room was exactly the way they had made it. It seemed to be split in half, pinks, purples and girl things on the right side and blues, greens, and boys things on the left.
He never checked to see if Emelina was behind him or not, but he walked to Jonathan's crib to look in on him. He had been sick the past few days and not sleeping well. As he suspected, the boy was awake. He laughed a bit and picked the child up before heading to the couch that sat against the wall.

Em watched as the nanny left without a word and she relaxed as the vampire's scent got further and further away.Her eyes flashed to Nick and saw him smile.That was good, right? She didn't need to explain about the nanny yet, she could do it later. She wasn't going to let that women take anymore of her precious time.
She fallowed behind him silently at human pace. she was nervous. She could smell the scent of her children growing nearer and she stopped breathing. The room was perfect. Nick hadn't changed it and Em paused in the door way, watching him make his way to baby Jonathan.He was awake. Her son was awake. Em's eyes were content and filled with emotion as she watching Nick more their son to the couch.
Em was still nervous. She hadn't expected to see her kids this soon. Slowly she made her way, silently to sit next to her husband and son-her boys.Still not breathing her eyes scanned her son. If she could cry, she would.

Nick sat on the couch and looked towards the door. He saw Emelina right behind him and gave a smile before he patted the cushion next to him, wanting her to come over and she did. Jonathan had taken to laying his head on Nick's shoulder, facing away from the door, but he still sensed someone else there.
He turned his head, still letting it lay on his father's shoulder as he took in the woman who sat down next to him. He moved to look at Nick's face and then back to Emelina. He pointed at her and looked at Nick again. He chuckled and kissed his son's dark hair.
"It's okay, buddy. She won't hurt you. She loves you just like daddy does," he assured the boy. He took that as enough of an answer and laid his head on the shoulder that was closest to Emelina. He reached his hand out to her and grabbed at her shirt.

Em stared at her son.He was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. He was perfect.His sister had to be just as perfect. Em thought about the sleeping girl in the next crib but tried to steal a moment with her only living son. Her eyes widened at Nick and a soft smile pulled up the corners of her lips.Nick was a daddy now. He was perfect. No wonder their children were prefect. She didn't even have to see her daughter to know she was just as perfect as her son.
He was smart too. Em's eyes never left the baby when he pointed at her and Nick's words touched Em's heart. Again, if she could cry, she would be sobbing.Her eyes showed her emotions though.Em stared as the baby boy grabbed at her shirt, part of her wanted to believe that he knew who she was. That he could sense somehow, no matter how different she was now, that she was his mother.
Em slowly moved her hand to her sons, grazing it lightly with her finger.Hey Jonathan...''She cooed in her musical voice. She was too full with emotion to say anything else.

Nick couldn't help but to beam as he watched Jonathan and Emelina. He had had dreams about this, Emelina not being dead. Some kind of mix up happening and she was really still alive, just far away and she would come home and be with him and the twins again.
Jonathan soon began to speak in the way babies do, most of his words not understandable, but there were a few in there that were obvious because he was learning to speak. Nick wasn't surprised because he had noticed that he was being awfully quiet. He was the loud one, Emelina the one who never spoke a single word except for no.
Nick chuckled, but shushed the boy. "Jonathan, you're going to wake up your sister, buddy," he said, but he didn't care. The baby kept on with his rattlings and soon squirmed around. He didn't want to be in Nick's hold anymore, so he set him down on the couch and he moved over to Emelina, crawling into her lap as if he'd known her his entire life.

Em gave a soft, musical little chuckle as her son started to talk to her. She beamed back at him and felt herself beam with pride.He was her son and he was responding to her. Sure, he could probably tell, sense there was something different about her, but what did it matter?She had even forgot about her power. She wouldn't have used it anyway. She wanted her son's true reaction.She was pleased. Pleased, didn't even being to cover it.
Em's bright eyes glanced quickly to her husband when he chuckled. So, this was a good reaction.Em smiled down, positioning her son in her lap and staring at him like he was the most amazing thing in the world. This was why she had fought. This was why she endured a year of being away from them all. This made it worth it.
She was soft, gentle, but made sure he couldn't wiggle from her lap. Even if he did. Her reflexes would have got him-even so, Em would not be too careful with her baby."Were you not feeling good,son?''She cooed at him in her soft chiming voice, sensing the imbalance the the left over of the mucus and such on her son.Her hand rubbing his back softly.The word son, was out of her mouth before she even spoke it. The dream of this moment-everything she wanted to say seemed to be coming true.
