DMITRI POV
I walked over to Rose. We stood beside each other as Jill and Eddie said their goodbyes. Eddie, then, kissed Jill and told his children goodbye. Sydney told Declan to take care of her-and Adrian's-children. Declan was only ten, but he was very responsible. Lissa told Sydney not to worry because the kids would go back to court with her. From what I guessed, Lissa, Christian, and Jill were going to take care of Sydney and Adrian's children while taking care of their own. Four black SUV's drove to the nearest airport where we all boarded. It took Rose a few minutes to say goodbye to our children.
"Your the man of the house D.A.," I said. "D.A. and J.V., you guys need to listen to your Aunts and Uncle."
"Be nice to each other, too!" Rose exclaimed.
After that we boarded the plane. Rose sat down beside Sydney, who was crying. I stood by the door while my mother-in-law stood adjacent from the bedrooms. Eddie Castile stood a few feet away from her. Petrov went to the cabin. While Alto stood a few feet from Rose and Sydney. Adrian came out of the bathroom and stood beside me.
"Hello Cousin," Adrian said.
"Yes Lord Ivashkov," I replied.
"Dmitri, call me Adrian."
"Do you need anything Adrian?"
"Just wanted small talk. No one here is wanting to talk. Plus I was wondering why Hathaway had to come. Doesn't she guard Lord Szelksey?"
"He'll after to get over it. Queen Dragomir made the decision."
"Guess so. Oh look at Rose."
Rose and Sydney had fallen asleep. I grabbed Rose and took her to one of the bedrooms on the plane. Adrian took Sydney to the other one. When I came out, Janine stopped me.
"Is it true?" she asked with concern.
"Is what true Guardian Hathaway?" I asked.
"Rose is pregnant."
"We all know that Rose can have children with me."
"With twins?"
"Yes. How did you find out?"
"Lissa came to me. She thought that I might have known what was wrong with Rose. So I went to the clinic and got her medical records for Lissa."
"Oh okay. I'm gonna stand guard. You should go get some sleep."
"Dmitri, I can handle this. I've got more experience. Plus you need to be there for Rose. It may not look like it, but she is four to five months pregnant."
I went back into the bedroom and climbed in bed. Rose turned towards me and I let out a sigh as she cuddled into the crock of my shoulder. In the middle of the night, I woke up to some screaming. It was Sydney. She was having a dream about when she was at the rigid re-education center. That was the same reason we were traveling to St. Louise. So that way Sydney could talk about her experience there to other alchemist. After Adrian calmed her down, I went back to the room and found Rose awake.
"Is everything okay?" she asked in a tired ish way.
"Everything's fine. Just Sydney having a bad dream," I replied.
"Jemeka and Ibriam."
"What?"
"Our children's name."
"Its a boy and girl?"
"I think so. One is riding high like D.A. did, while the other is riding low like J.V. did."
ADRIAN POV
Sydney was screaming when I came out of the bathroom. Dmitri came running out of his room with Hathaway and Castile behind him. I ran back there to see that Sydney had a nightmare. I sat beside Sydney and she began crying. It was another nightmare. Whenever she talked to an alchemist this happened. She had nightmares of her being sent back to the re-education center. Dmitri walked out of the room. Hathaway and Castile followed after him.
"Sydney," I said with concern.
"Yes?" Sydney replied.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes."
"Please don't lie."
"I had a nightmare."
"Figured. Everyone freaked out. We'll have to let them know this."
"Rose knows. That's what I was crying earlier. She asked me why I was crying and I told her the truth."
"She'll tell Dmitri."
"Let her. All we have to do is tell Hathaway, Castile, Alto, and Petrov."
"They'll be fine."
"Okay. How long till we land?"
"I will go check."
"Okay."

I went out to Petrov. She was smiling. I could figure that Alto had said something funny to her. I walked up to her and she gave a small bow.
"Lord Ivashkov," she said kindly. "What may I do for you?"
"First, you can call me Adrian," I replied. "Second, Sydney wants to know how much time till we land."
"Let me go ask the captain."
She returned five minutes later saying, "Captain Clarksburg says about sixty to ninety minutes."
"Okay, thank you. Your very nice, Guardian Petrov." I said.
"Thank you Lord Ivashkov."
