Deadly Magic

Two Baby Girls

The labor went smoothly and the babies were delivered perfectly. Daemons been smiling nonstop and Alice can't wait to get home so she can play with them.

Daemon grabbed Charlotte and I grabbed Viridia. "Ready?" I nod and we head out the door down the hall. We see the limo pull up but the reporters see it too and gather around the car.

I sigh and Daemon gives me a wry smile. Then we head out of the hospital.

We're swarmed with reporters and questions. I'm suddenly afraid that I'll loose Alice so I grab her hand. After much pushing we made it to the limo. It was then that I realized the twins were crying.

Daemon and I put the children in and get in ourselves. When the driver pulls away I unbuckle Viridia and rock her gently. Daemon rocks Charlotte and Alice plays with Viridia's hair.

The babies quiet and the driver pulls up to the palace. More reporters. I'm on the verge of commanding that they leave when Daemon steps out and politely asks them to leave...and they do.

I breathe out. He is a great leader. I smile. Alice laughs. "I didn't think Daemon would be this great of a leader," she giggles more. We get out of the car and the limo pulls away. We walk in.

We're flooded with "Welcome!"'s and "Aww"'s and "What's their name?"'s. I laugh. Daemon says, "We missed you too," and laughs as well.

We head upstairs to our room. The babies' room is beautiful. The walls are purple and blue with a red stripe going around the entire room. The cribs are red with a "V" on one and a "C" on the other with a changing table on one side of each.

There is a white walk-in closet on either side of their room. One with Viridia on one door and Charlotte on the other. Both in a pale pink. We both smile at the same time

"I think they should sleep with us for a while. What do you say?"

"Of course. We'll have to get a bigger bed."
