(A bit of a filler chapter)
Anya's POV
The twins just started kindergarten. They recognize Becky as their aunt. I have a feeling it was Becky who taught them to say that. "Mama!!" I hear the little ones yell as they run up to me. I am waiting outside their school for them. "Hello!" I say with a smile. "Mama! Guess what?!" Elizabeth says excitedly. "What?" I ask. "We got to paint in class today and look at my picture!!" She shouts. I laugh at her antics. Her brother is very calm beside her. "Wow!! That's amazing" I say. She nods very excitedly.

"May I have it to hang on the fridge?" I ask. She nods. "Okay guys in the car" I say. They smile. I open the door and they get into the car. I help them get buckled. Then I get into the drivers seat and get buckled up. I start the car. I drive us home. I hold the twins hands as we walk through the front door. "Damian I'm home!" I shout. "I'm upstairs Darling" he says. I smile. "Okay guys you can go to your room if you want" I say. "Okay Mama!" They say. They race each other up the stairs. "Be careful" I shout. I take my shoes off and leave them by the door.

I walk up the stairs and make it to my bedroom. I open the door. I see Damian there working on something. "What are you working on?" I ask. "Well you know how I just learned how to play the guitar recently" he asks. I nod. "You're playing is beautiful" I say. "Well I'm writing a song for the kids" he says. I smile softly at him. I walk over to him and sling my arms around his neck. He looks up at me. "You doing okay?" He asks. "Yeah. I love our family no matter how big or small it is" I say. "I do too" he replies. He looks up and I kiss him. He kisses back and then we pull away. I walk away to the kids room.

I am about to open the door when I hear. "Hey sis do you wanna play with me?" Leo asks. "Yeah!" Elizabeth shouts. "Is it weird that I like to draw instead of playing sports like the other boys?" Leo asks. There is silence in the room. "Do Mama and daddy still love me?" He asks. I knock on the door and walk in. I see Leo in tears. "Whoa hey what's wrong?" I ask Leo. "M-mama do you still love me even though I don't like sports" he asks. "Oh baby of course I do. I love you no matter what. If you want to draw then you draw and I will still love you okay?" I say. He nods. I hug him. I stretch my arm out for Elizabeth and she comes and joins the hug.

Damian walks into the room and sees us hugging. He comes and hugs us too. "Darling maybe it's time we tell them our story" Damian suggests. I nod. "Do you guys want to hear a story about me and your dad?" I ask. They both look at each other and nod. "Yeah!! I want to hear a story!!" Elizabeth shouts. "Me too!!!" Leo shouts. He's a usually very quiet kid so it's rare to hear him raise his voice. He's very excited. "Okay sit down and we'll tell you the story" I say. They both excitedly sit on the carpet floor.

Damian and I look at each other and laugh. We sit down in front of them. I kiss both their heads. "Okay well I guess it technically started when we were 6 years old because that's when we met" I start. "Wait you guys were 6 when you met?!!" Elizabeth shouts. We both laugh as she looks at us astonished. "Yes princess we were 6 when we met" Damian says. I look at him lovingly. He pulls me closer to him by my waist. We continue the story. Leo and Elizabeth listen to it very interested. We leave out the things that we feel they are too young to know. Things like stalkers, deaths,etc.

"Wow! Mama you went through some rough things" Elizabeth says. I laugh. "Yeah i did" i say with a smile. "And you're still here. You're so strong Mama" Leo says. "Thank you Leo" I say. "Oh my it's gotten late we should get dinner and get you two to bed" I say. Damian nods in agreement. We get up and walk downstairs to make dinner. We quickly make it and eat. After dinner we watch the twins favorite cartoon for a little while. ( I want to say it's bubble guppies but you guys can imagine what they're favorite cartoon is).

"Okay guys that was the last episode time for bed" I say. They nod. "Okay Mama" they say. I smile at the excitement in their tone. Damian and I take the kids up to their room and tuck them in. We were about to leave when Leo grabs my sleeve. "Mama?" He says. "Yes?" I ask. "Can you sing me a song?" He asks. Elizabeth looks over excitement clear in her eyes. "I want to hear Mama sing too!!!" She shouts. I laugh. "Alright alright just don't shout it's late" I say.

Damian looks at me with a soft expression on his face. "I haven't heard you sing in so long" he says. I smile at him and hold his hand. "....way out at big toe airport hangar number 4 there was a lonely little biplane whose name was evermore" I start singing. After a moment or two the twins are fast asleep. I softly kiss both their heads. Damian and I then walk out of the room leaving the door cracked open just a little. We walk to our bedroom and get ready for bed before peacefully falling asleep.

Hey guys!! Sorry I've been gone for so long. So I want to do a Christmas special of some sort and a birthday special where they celebrate Anya's birthday.
