Episode 45

~6 years later

“Xander.” I whisper as he trails kisses from my jaw down my bare shoulder. I turn around in my beloved’s arms and gaze up at him with a soft smile on my lips.

He stares at me with love and adoration in his eyes, a slight smirk playing on his lips. Lifting his hand up, he brushes my hair away from my face before his hand rests on my cheek, caressing the skin.

“Good Morning, love.” He murmurs leaning down placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

“Indeed. A very good morning to you too.” I grin at him making his chest vibrates with a sexy chuckle.

“How are you?” I roll my eyes at the question, shaking my head.

“I am as good as a vampire would be on her eternal days.” He opens his mouth to give me a snarky reply which I am sure of when his phone starts ringing.

He groans burying his head in my neck. I giggle as his hairs tickle my skin.

“One of these days, I am going to dismiss Nicholas for ruining my morning every damn day!” He growls against my skin, ignoring the ringing of his phone. 2

I run my fingers through his hairs making him sigh and leaning further on my skin.

“Oh be nice to him. He is such a sweetheart. Furthermore, he does his job perfectly fine not like you lazying around in the bed.” I tease him gaining another growl in return.

Pulling away, he glares down at me with a frown on his handsome face, his arms on either side of my body. Biting my lip, I try to contain my laughter in.

“Sweetheart?” He grits out in disgust like the word saturates a sour taste on his tongue, looking furious.

“Aha.” I nod my head up and down with an innocent face, looking at him with wide eyes.

“So he is a sweetheart?” He repeats again, his jaw ticking and the muscles in his arms flexing. I know he is about to attack.

Leaning my face towards his, I brush my lips with his, his eyes darken but he doesn’t say anything, waiting for my reply.

“Of course, yes.” I whisper and his eyes widen and his frown turns into a scowl.

Yelping, I push him back using my strength and speed out of the bed. Standing across the room far away from him, I smile in triumph at him. 2

Falling back on the bed, he puts an arm over his eyes, muttering.

“Remind me again why I even agreed to turn you into a vampire. I hate my decision sometimes when you use your strength against me.” 58

Laughing loudly, I coo him;

“Oh come on. You love me more like this, don’t you?”

Removing the arm from his face, his eyes rake over my body up and down approvingly. And i return the favour roaming my eyes over his bare chest and his jeans clad thighs. 1

“I do.” He agrees huskily, locking his eyes with mine.

Then I realize that I am naked standing with my arms on my hips. My eyes widen and I turn around to dash inside the bathroom when two strong arms snake around my waist from behind, caging me.

“Uh-uh. Where are you going now? Don’t you want me to show how much I appreciate you like this?” He whispers in my ear, his voice low and husky.

I bite my lip down, blushing hard as I remember all the time, he has shown me how much he appreciates me.

It is true after I had turned into a vampire, he doesn’t hold himself back anymore. He had told me he used to control himself because I was a human and he didn’t want to hurt me but now that I am strong, there is no need for him to hold anything back.

His face descends over my shoulder, biting and licking on the skin as he hands trail over my stomach moving upward. His fingers brush my ribs causing a moan to release my lips but before his hands could continue their journey, we hear soft footsteps running from afar towards our direction and then some giggles and chuckles.

Xander groans releasing me then quickly throwing his shirt which was discarded on the ground, over me.

Catching it with my hand, I throw it over my body before pulling up my jeans that he had thrown at me also.

A soft smile covers his features as he walks up to me with his phone in his hand, pecking my lips before going to the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Standing at the foot of our bed, I close my eyes and concentrate on the soft footsteps as my smile widen. 4

3..

2..

1..

The door burst open before a whooshing sound is heard, I drop down on my knees just in time to catch the other two reasons for my living before they collide with me.

Xander is one of the reasons along with these two bundle of joys.

Lifting both of them in my arms, I move round and round, smiling widely as their giggles fill our happy bubble.

Soft kisses are placed on each of the cheek. Putting them down, I look down at both my life, my joy, my everything.

My children.

Two pairs of wide bluish gray eyes blink up at me with innocent looks on their faces. 1

One grinning innocently while the other looking seriously up at me.

Black raven hairs covering their heads with few strands falling across their foreheads giving them innocent looks but I know them better. If it wasn’t for the mischievous look that was present all the time in their beautiful eyes, one could pass them as the epitome of innocence.

But no matter what other say they are my angels.

My beautiful 5 years old twins.

Aaron Knight and Maximus Knight.

“MOTHER!” They yell in unison, grinning up at me showing their small canines.

“What have you done now,hmm?” I ask them, softly with a raised eyebrow putting my hands on my hips.

“Absolutely nothing, mother.” Aaron replies still grinning up at me. My eyes flicker to Max who is trying very hard to maintain his innocent expression.

Aaron is the troublemaker here and he never disappoints in his works.

Never.

On the other hand, Maximus who is five minutes older than Aaron, backs up his younger brother in everything whether it is causing trouble or wrecking the whole house down.

Vampire abilities. They take full advantage of it.

I open my mouth to reply when the bathroom’s door opens and Xander walks out, wearing jeans and a white shirt.

Walking towards us, his eyes watch our sons closely with a small smile. Upon reaching us, he kneels down infront of them, staring them straight in the eyes.

“So what are two upto now?” He asks them casually but keeping his unwavering eyes on them.

My lips twitch as they both squirm under their father’s gaze.

Eyes flickering left and right to avoid the eye contact, I watch the scene unfold infront of me with amusement.

“Maximus?” Xander’s eyes watch Max. He was about to reply when his younger brother beats him to it.

“Nothing. Really. ” He grins at his father, the same innocent grin flashing. Narrowing his eyes,Xander regards both of them in silence.

Putting my hand over my mouth, I stifle my laugh. 1

One second passed in cold silence with staring..

Two seconds with more staring…

Three seconds with more and more staring…

Four second-

“Alright! ” Maximum grumbles, the serious expression on his face.

It is very rare when you watch him showing any emotions. The serious expression never leaves his face.

Sometimes I get worried about him but then his eyes speak louder than his voice. 2

His eyes look up at me with pleading before he looks down at his father.

“No..” Aaron groans in defeat putting his small hands over his face. 1

“We may or may not….” Max trails off, wringing his fingers, looking at his brother with a guilty look in his eyes.

“Yes?” Xander encourages.

“We… Uncle Matt-” My eyes widen at his name before he could complete, a familiar roar resonates somewhere in the house.

“YOU LITTLE SPAWN OF DEVILS! WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!”

There is a crashing sound then footsteps rushing towards our direction. Max and Aaron both run behind us. Aaron hiding behind my legs whereas Max standing beside his father, his hand clutching his father’s tightly.

The door bursts open and in enters pink Matt?

64

Yes! Pink Matt!

Because he is covering from head to toe in pink paint , pink droplets dropping from his hair, trailing down on his face to his once blue shirt. 15

His furious eyes looking down at both of them, his nostrils flaring. I look at him with wide eyes.

Wow.. He looks.. hilarious.

I burst out laughing, Xander chuckles under his breath. 17

“Oh my..” I exclaim, taking deep breaths to control myself but end up laughing again. 2

In between the voices of my laughter and Matt’s heavy furious breathing, I hear the whispering of the cause of the this… This..

“I had told you, it would be funny.” Aaron whispers to his brother behind us. 24

“Yes but this is still not right!” Maximum whispers back.

“Yes! This is not right!” Matt growls, his eyes narrowing in slits.

“Uh- I think you are right, brother.” Aaron murmurs.

“Why?” Matt says just one word, crossing his hands over his eyes before lifting one hand to remove the paint from his eyes with an annoyed look.

“We want to see a pink panther.” Aaron replies back. 111

Taking a furious step, Matt stops again taking another deep breath in.

“You wanted to see a pink panther?”

“Aha.” Aaron nods.

“So you thought why not make me one?” 35

“Exactly! You see. We mean no harm! ” Aaron says with an innocent smile but he can never fool Matt by his smiles not after- 5

“So after setting my clothes on fire last month, ripping my bed in half by jumping on that damn thing! And this-” He gestures his hand over himself. 112

“-You guys still mean no harm, you sure about it?” 7

“Of course.” Aaron furrows his eyebrows as he is offended at the thought of someone accusing him of meaning harm to anyone.

But it’s the truth, even after everything he does to ‘unbore’ himself, he never means anyone harm.

He is an angel, like I said. 8

Shaking his head, Matt looks up at the ceiling as praying for help.

“How had you even managed to climb that door to put that paint basket there?”

“Assistance.” Maximus replies hurriedly, shooting his brother a look.

“Of whom?”

“We can’t tell you that.”

“Why not?”

“It’s confidential.” Xander and I both look at Maximus at the same time, with raised eyebrows.

He sure talks like an adult considering his age.

“Are you both sure he is five?” Matt voices out my thoughts.

“I doubt it sometimes, ya know.” I reply with a smile.

“Royal blood does wonders, ya know.” Xander winks at me, ruffling his son’s hair with affection.

“Stop going all awwing on your sons!” Matt cuts us .

“It was her, wasn’t it?” He asks them another question. I before they could reply, I know the answer very well.

“Who? Her? ” Aaron feigns innocence, shrugging his small shoulders.

“Laila! It was her, yes?”

“No!” They both yell in unison and that’s the answer Matt needed as he smirks with a glint in his eyes before turning on his heels going after his favorite prey and leaving Max and Aaron.

Well it won’t make any difference either if they did it by themselves because he adores both of my children with all his might and he is a big softy.

“That went better than expected, wasn’t it?” Aaron asks his brother with a thoughtful look.

“Yes.” Max nods with pursed lips.

“So that whole thing was planned?” Xander who was silent all this time, speaks.

“Yes.” They both smirk.

Xander shakes his head before lifting them both up in his arms, planting kisses on both of their forehead.

He looks at them proudly.

Not only, he is a good husband but a good father to our kids also. He spoils them with not only the money but with his love as well. But he puts his hand down whenever it is needed.

“You shouldn’t have done that.” He scowls them sternly. 4

“We know , papa.” Max replies while Aaron nods his eyes but still smirking.

“I’m serious, both of you! “

“Of course, you are.” This time, I cut in moving towards them.

Kissing all three of them on cheeks, I pull back to look at their grinning faces.

“Alright, you two. Aaron. Maximus. You are not allowed to cause anymore trouble for a week!” Xander tells them in no argument tone.

Aaron’s mouth hangs open in disbelief while Max looks relief.

“But-“

“Not buts! Both of you! It’s getting out of hands. A week. Now off you go! Go to Jennifer for breakfast.”

Climbing down from their father’s arms, they both flash us another smiles.

“Yes, papa!” Xander waits for their footsteps to fade before he snakes his arms around me again, pushing me against his chest. I gasp at the sudden movement.

“I love our kids.”

“Me too.” I smile looking up at him, my heart filling up with warmth at the thought of my children.

“So where were we?” He whispers, huskily before throwing me on bed.

  • 10

“Here you go, honey.” Putting the plate of bacon and some pancakes, Jennifer kisses my head before moving on to fill Aaron’s plate who is sitting across me along with his brother, Maximus.

Taking a sip of my drink , I watch everyone that are sitting with us.

“Where are Laila and Matt?” I ask Harrison who is sitting beside Max, both of them talking in hushed tone.

Snapping his head in my direction, he shrugs his shoulders before continuing his talk with Max.

“What are you two talking about?”

“Stuff.” Harrison replies without looking up. I shake my head at them.

“I’m sorry!” My head snaps toward Matt’s voice as he enters following Laila who is supporting a scowl on her beautiful face.

I sense Aaron and Max still as she enters the dining room. Slumping down in the chair beside me, she grumbles in her breath looking at Aaron and Max with narrowed eyes.

Aaron flash her his innocent guilty smile while Matt blinks innocently at her.

Unable to resist them, she sighs looking down.

“Baby…” Matt says again in soft tone gaining her attention. 36

“I’m sorry. It was funny, you are right. It was so funny. I was looking cute in pink, yes? Ain’t I? You can paint me in pink whenever you want.” Taking her hands in his hands, he tells her seriously. 41

Snickers ring around us as we watch them with amusement. Flashing all of us a warning look, Matt turns back to Laila who is trying to stifle her giggles.

“You are still making fun of me!” Matt exclaims with a hurt expression.

“I am.” Laila says in a soft voice, giggling . Matt’s eyes soften as he looks at her.

Just two years ago, Matt had proposed Laila, infront of us which was not a good choice. 6

Why?

Because that ended up with Jennifer fainting, Xander growling and Harrison sighing in exasperation and me? 38

Well… I jumped with delight!

I wouldn’t have imagined that the sweet little Laila likes Matt all this time!

But then the blushing whenever he was around her, is the proof that she does. And the innocent teasing of Matt was just not innocent after all. 1

A nudge on my shoulder brings me out of my thoughts. I look at my right to find Laila looking at me expectantly.

“Yes?”

“Do you mind?” She motions at the plate of food infront of me. I shake my head at her before sliding it towards her. She smiles at me gratefully before digging in it.

I don’t need human food to survive but she does because she is still not ready yet to give away her humanself to turn into one of us.

Matt never pushes her but I can see in his eyes that he wants to stay with her forever.

She had talked to me once about it. She wants to stay with him also but she is not ready to change yet. In future maybe.

But not yet.

Xander slides in the seat on the left offering me his heart melting smile.

His hand finds mine under the table on my lap and he encloses it with his, squeezing.

We both look at each other, smiling before our eyes sweep over everyone else.

Jennifer patting Aaron’s head with her own warm motherly smile. Harrison and Max still talking and looking serious, they are close with each other but Harrison loves both, Aaron and Max, equally but one can see that he is more lean towards Max.

While, Laila eats her breakfast and Matt who is looking at me with his own heart warming smile, winks at me.

To say I am happy, would not be enough because this feeling is not just happiness.

It is deep satisfaction.

Peace.

Everyone is here and content with themselves. But I hope Harrison finds someone also but he had told me he doesn’t want to.

I have everything that I always have desired.

A family.

One happy family and I could never ask for more because that is more than enough for me.

This is everything.

Being the Queen of the vampire world is not easy because now I have to make decisions along side my King, for their betterment but I am managing it just fine.

Xander, my King is always beside me whenever I need him and now I have my two sons.

The love I have for all of them is unexplainable.

“Thank you.” A whisper in my ear then his hand squeezes mine again.

Turning my head toward Xander, I look at him with confusion.

“For what?”

“For this..” His eyes sweep across everyone before settling on our sons.

“For this..” He continues and squeezes my hand.

“For this..” Raising my hand, he put it on his chest.

“And for this..” Leaning, he placed a kiss on my forehead, butterflies flutter their wings inside me, spreading a warm feeling all over me.

“Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for being mine. ” He kisses my nose making me giggle.

“I was, am and always be yours.” I whisper back with a stupid smile on my face. His eyes soften as he looks at me.

“And what about these lips?” He whispers huskily against my lips.

“They are yours.” I breath out and his eyes darken.

“You are right. All of you is mine. These bloody lips are mine.” With that he kisses my lips passionately before we are pulled back.

Catching off guard, we gasp.

“Not infront of kids, you two!” Jennifer slaps our heads lightly before moving away from us.

We both look at our sons who are still engrossed among themselves. 1

I laugh lightly shaking my head while Xander winks at me.

Yes, I am more than happy. And I would do anything for this happiness.

For my family.

For my love.

And I want this to last forever as long as I am in this world. 9

Forever and ever.
