They should never have met.
Each one of them lived in different parts of the world. She lived in the light, an ordinary existence while he kept to the shadows, the underworld.
But one fate encounter brought them together and no matter how hard the...

We spent two months in the hospital until we could finally take Sophia and Alaric home. They were healthy but the doctors wanted to wait until they were of term to take them home in case anything were to happen.
It sucked, but we were finally given the go ahead to leave. Stella practically sprinted to the car, she hated having to spend so long in her own bed while she recovered from her injuries. She still has to take it easy and go back for check-ups, but she can relax at home.
Thankfully her store was under construction to fix the damage from the truck which has forced her to relax. Currently we have been spending our days at our house, with a large revolving door of family coming in to say 'hi' maybe to Stella and myself; definitely to Alaric and Sophia.
Stepping into the nursery I found my woman off to the side of the twins' cribs. She was smiling down at them and adjusting their blankets. Taking a moment, I leaned against the doorframe, watching the love of my life.
Stella had been worried about being a mom, since she didn't have a good role model with her own Mother. But she has nothing to worry about.
She has been there for them every time they cried, held them, bathed them and cherished them. We may only have had Sophia and Alaric for a short time, but I knew my woman would be an amazing mother.
My heart warmed thinking of my babies.
Our babes were only ever in their cribs for sleep. All day long someone was holding them and giving them attention. Stella joked that we need to make a schedule since so many people want to hold them and would sometimes argue that it was their turn.
After a couple moments, I got off the door, needing my woman and soon enough she was in my arms.
"Let them sleep." I whispered, Stella turning to give me a smile. "We should be taking this opportunity to sleep ourselves, you could use the rest."
Stella's smile turned to a scowl. "You saying I look tired?"
I shook my head knowing I walked into that. "I'm saying, that your body is still healing and we haven't gotten much sleep recently with the little ones waking up countless times during the night."
She let out a tired sigh and leaned against my chest, my arms wrapping around her waist. "True, I'm exhausted. I just wanted to enjoy them when they aren't being fussy."
"They?" I chuckled. "You mean Sophia, she is going to be a handful. Alaric is never fussy, only when his sister demands him to be."
If Sophia cried, Alaric cried. If Sophia awoke, Alaric awoke; it was never the opposite. Sophia may fuss around but Alaric would be perfectly calm.
Stella lifted her head and smiled up at me from my chest. "Sophia must be taking after her Dad already."
Horror filled me and my eyes widen. "Oh god I hope not. I need both of them to take after you, I was not a good child."
