Vladimir's POV.

We arrived in Paris at 8 A.M since we ended just leaving last night. Last time were were here the twins were barely 2 years old! As expected the city of love is just gorgeous!

"Ahh Paris such a lovely city. It's been ages since we've been here!" Exclaimed my mother. I believe she was the most excited out of all of us. As soon as we exited the airport we immediately drove to our hotel, presidential suite of course.

"Your room is 714." said the receptionist. "Would you like help with your bags?"

"No thank you. We're perfectly capable of handling our baggage." Even though we were royalty my father made sure we weren't waited on. He thought it was best we learned the value of things such as chores and the value of a dollar. Although we did have the best tutors and the only time we were waited on was if another royal family was visiting(only for dinner though) or we were throwing a party.

We got up to our room and of course we just had to have the best view. The lights will surely be a splendor to see at night. The room had 3 bedrooms as well as 2 baths. The furniture was of the highest quality and even before we could unpack my mother was already ordering food service.

"Yes i'd like your breakfast special....6 people... some juice and coffee please. Thank you." She smiled as she hung up the phone and once she noticed us looking at her she replied "What? Although we were in first class the food just had no tastes to it. Such a shame since it looked so yummy too." We just laughed and waited for our breakfast to arrive. It was a great way to start off the day and I actually enjoyed being with my family.

"So when does the fashion show start." Celosia asked Nerina.

"What's the rush? It doesn't start til 5:00 and it's barely 8:37."

"Perfect! We can go shopping for new outfits!"

"Excuse me? I don't think so. Just because we're in Paris doesn't mean you're going to be spending freely!" exclaimed my Father.

"But it's fashion week! It's the most talked about event of the year!"

"You want a new outfit? Then go get a job that way you can spend your OWN money." Celosia's mouth dropped but she didn't dare talk back. My father can get scary at times and even a bit violent. My brother and I have gotten our asses beat for being so rebellious and our sisters have seen the bruises and cuts so that was a fair warning to them. Eventually we all decided to go sight seeing first and then we'll go to the fashion show.

"Paris is just so lovely. It's been so long..." My mother sighed and inhaled the cool breeze that passed our way. "How about we order some croissants" 

"Mom we just had breakfast." I told her.

"Nonsense. It's just a little snack." We walked into a small bakery and was immediately overwhelmed by the sweet aroma. All the pastries were mouthwatering and I couldn't decided which one I wanted. My mother started having a little chat with the baker and you could tell he was amazed by her beauty. He even gave her a slice of angel food cake.

"Angel cake for the lovely angel." She smiled while my father payed the bill and hurried us out of the bakery. We sat outside eating while admiring the view. The sky was much more clearer here than in Ravenswood. Back at home the sky was mostly grey, but at night it had the most wonderful view of the stars. As the day went on we visited many shops and got a few souvenirs. Night drew closer and soon enough we were admitted inside the fashion show.

"I can't belive I'm actually here! It's like a dream come true!" Celosia squealed and was a bit too hyper.I wouldn't be surprised if she was thrown out.

"Excuse me!! Monsieur!!" A tap came on my shoulder and a woman of about 20 looked up at me. She had short brown hair and blue eyes. She was slim and had to at least be a B cup. Her skin was fair and she was dressed in a navy skirt and a white blouse along with black high heels.

"Can I help you?" I raised an eyebrow at her questioning her motives.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, but one of our male models sprained his ankle and you are the perfect height to take his place." I looked her as if she was joking, but I soon realized she was being serious, "I'm begging you! Can you please be his replacement!" I sighed and agreed. She took me backstage and showedme to the nerst changing area. I was to wear these black skinny jeans which were a bit ruffled and a long white sleeved shirt that was open showing off my chest, They even fixed my hair to where it was messy almost like bed hair. The lights came on along with some music and after the 12th model went on I was next. I just casually walked onstage and the cameras instantly went off. It was like this for the rest of the show and not once did I smile. A few outfits later and I was done with it.

"Bravo! You were a hit! Anyways I believe I never introduced myself. My name is Emma. And you are?"

"Vladimir..."

"Nice to meet you. If you're not busy later how about I treat you to dinner? It's the least I can do after dragging you into this."

"Sure. It'll give me an excuse to get away from the family."

"Excellent! I'll wait for you in the lobby." Once she walked away from me my family immediately came over to me.

"NO FAIR!! How come all the great stuff hapens to you!!" yelled Celosia making my mother slap her head.

"You were very handsome dear. As expected of the son of Ray and Serine Shadows."

"Mother sometimes you are so conceited." said Nerina. Later on Emma and I decided to dine at La Belle meaning The Beautiful and it really did live up to its name. The interior was designed with different shades of blue along with white and the furniture was so elegant. The lights were strewn above and had only the best fresh flowers.

"This has always been my favorite. The food is just fantastic here." We both ordered tea and she ordered lamb while I had lobster. Small talk  was made, but nonetheless it was an enjoyable evening. After a lovely meal Emma and I decided to take a stroll.

"Thanks for joining me. I had fun."

"And thank you for the meal."

"Umm. Would you mind if I asked to hang out again?"

"Well I do need to get out more and it wouldn't hurt i guess."

"Oh goodie!" She smiled and gave me a small peck on my cheek before she retreated into a cab. I walked back to the hotel alone and yet for some reason I wanted to see more of her. Maybe just maybe we'll meet again. Nothing else interesting happened while we stayed here unfortunately, but i was eager to return home and continue my search for her... For Luna.

Luna's POV

It seems halloween is officially in town. Oh Joy! Sarcastically of course, but Zett has this idea that we're gonna go trick or treating for baby's "1st Halloween" So 2 weeks before the event is to happen we're at a costume shop. I'll admit I do miss dressing up because for one night I could actually be somebody else. I can forget about not having parents and being alone for most of my lifetime. I could be someone who had meaning in their life...

"Hey so I think i could so go for Hook or Batman. You could be my catwoman." He purred at me and I couldn't help, but laugh.

"No. I'm more of a Harley and Joker fan."

"Clown Prince of Crime and the used to be psychologist? I like it."

"I see we have a fan. Never expected you to be a comic book nerd."

"There's lots of thing you have yet to discover about me." He winks and goes away to find other costumes. As i was walking down the isles i noticed a particular costume that had caught my eye. It was a Bona Dea costume. The goddess of fertility. The dress was long and blue and everything else you would expect of a goddess. I now know what I wanted to be. I decided to buy it without Zett noticing I figured a surprise would be nice. In the end Zett decided to be a dark warrior. It suited him especially with those eyes of his.

When we got home I stood in the middle of the living room, hand on my stomache, just looking out the large window.

Zett's POV

When we got in the house Luna stood in the middle of the living room looking out the window. The sun was setting and the way the light shown from behind her made her seem like she was out of this world. I stared at her for a bit when all of a sudden my feet decided to move on their own and next thing you know i was hugging her from behind. I burrowed my face into her neck and of course she smelled like lavender. It was such a scent that suited her everytime i smell it I can only think of her.

"Luna-"

"Zett don't. Don't ruin this moment. I feel at peace right now and I wanna enjoy it a little longer."

"Fine by me." I hugged her until our feet grew sore from standing and I carried her to her room and for the first time she actually let me lay with her. I have no idea what was up with her, but maybe it was good for her. I don't mind being the Father to her child. In my heart he's already mine and though I haven't held him yet or talk to him. He's stuck with me because i'm not letting him or his mother go.
