Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

        James is sleeping soundly with Natalia on top of his chest. She couldn't sleep at all, so she gently took Natalia from him and put her on the crib just beside their bed. She crawled over the bed and hugged him pillowing on her chest. She couldn't sleep at all. Knowing that her family is in danger because of her.

"Hmm." He hugged her and kissed her top head. "Hey…" He murmured.

"Just sleep, you are tired." She muttered. He nodded and snuggled to her.

        She closed her eyes and the sound of the cello is what she listens to as she played it in front of her Aunt Liana with the unknown man that she's talking to. She's just fifteen years old when she saw how her Aunt talk to strangers.

        Her father and mother are clapping their hands proudly. She gasped and woke up from that dream. Then, their babies seemed to be talking. She sat up and peeked at the twin already awake. They didn't cry at all. She gently slid off from bed, from her husband's embrace and she approached them. She checked their diapers and then she took Natalia first to change her diapers and then she put her beside James and then he took Nathaniel to do the same and she placed it beside James. He smiled as they are only quiet beside their father.

        She climbed over the bead and lean on the headboard as she took Natalia to her arm and then Nathaniel to her other arm, gently. It was hard to feed them at the same time without any assistance so she's careful when taking them. The twins finally sucked on her breast loudly and hold each other's hands.

        It's relaxing seeing how they are looking at each other. James opened his eyes and he looked at them.

"Hey." He glanced at the clock and they had only slept for three hours.

"Sleep more." She told him. He adjusted himself and he goes back to sleep.

        Soon that the babies are done, she put Nathaniel beside James and she took Natalia first as she rubbed her back. After she let out the gas, she gently placed it beside James and do the same to Nathaniel. She held her for long and he played on her hair and dress before he burped loudly. Natalia reacts with an adorable baby 'woo' sound.

        James smiled. He heard it somehow and he opened his eyes. He sat up groggily and took baby Natalia since she hasn't had a good burp. Baby Natalia reached his nose and pointed his eyes.

"Babam…" She murmured. He kissed her hand and she leaned her face to his face until she pressed her lips to his dad's. "Babam!"

"I love you." He murmured and Natalia titter.

"I guess, they wouldn't sleep now. Why won't you go to sleep? You still have work later."

"Hmm."

        He gently placed baby Natalia to his chests, and he told her to also put baby Nathaniel. She did as what he asked, and they are quiet.

"Time to sleep."

        Natasha knew what would make them sleep. Since James set a cello next to the grand piano, she adjusted it close to them and she sat down and tune up the cello and rubbed the rosin to the strings of the bow.

"Let's keep quiet now, mommy is going to play good music for you." He murmured to the twins and the first they heard cello they keep quiet with their lips in o shape. James grinned as he watched his wife flawlessly play the cello.

        Andy gasped and gently sat up. Hearing cello from one of Natasha's compositions makes her feel a little better but why is she dreaming of what is happening at this moment? She's sure that Natasha is playing cello at three early in the morning for the twin to sleep.

"Love?" Zachary sat up and rubbed his eyes. "What is it?" He asked as he rubbed her back.

"I—I am thirsty."

        He reached the glass bottle on the side table and he removed the cap and gave it to her. She sipped on it and gave it back to him.

"Are there visions?" He asked.

"I think I am dreaming of a scenario that is happening right now."

"Oh," Zachary rubbed her stomach. "Baby must be really strong."

        Andy smiled at her. It's a good thing but there are side effects. So, as the baby grows, whatever side effects that their baby will be feeling, she will make sure that she was there to assist her. She could handle the visions however, for a starter it was hard.

"You aren't hungry?" He asked her just to make sure.

"No. Let's go back to sleep. You have work tomorrow."

        He nodded and they lay down and Zach rubbed her round stomach until she fell asleep. He kissed her ear whispering that he loves her and do the same to her protruding stomach.

        Freya reached one of her boys and pull her to her chest to feed him. Steven had dark circles as he took the other to his arm.

"You can sleep. I'll take care of them."

"No, babe."

"Give him to me so I could feed him."

        Steven gave him so he could feed on her. Steven stayed beside her although he's too sleepy. He waited until the other one is done and so he could help him let out some gas and wouldn't vomit and choke. He then took the other one after he's finished, and the boys are serene as they burp.

"Thank you for giving me, wonderful boys," Steven said and kissed each small head.

"Yeah… it's your fault." She told and he laughed. She slipped off from the bed and went to the bathroom.

        Steven danced for the boys and sang for them a little. Suddenly, he heard a few beauty products fell on the floor. He strode to the bathroom to picked her on. She's sitting on the floor with her head leaned on the cabinet.

"Babe!" He wanted to rush to her, but he realized that he's holding the twin. "What happened?" He asked.

"It's just my head." She murmured. "I am fine."

        He gently put the boys down to the bed so he could assist her. He helped her stand and she washed her hands. He took the towel and dried her hands and then he took her to the bed. He tucked her in.

"Why won't you sleep? I'll take care of the twin."

"But—"

"I'll take care of them."

        She closed her eyes as her head keeps on pulsating like it's is being hammered.

"Medicine?" He asked. "We got medicine for headache…"

"No." She opened her eyes, why won't you place our babies between us since the bed is wide enough? So, we can both sleep?"

        He agreed to her and then he put a blanket on the middle first and then put long pillows at each side then he placed the twins between them. He turned off the lights leaving the dim lights open. He reached her head and gently pressed it to her brows to massaged it.

"Why do you keep having a headache?" He asked worriedly.

"Maybe it's the visions." She murmured.

"Okay."

        He gently patted the twin and coaxed them to sleep and soon the twins drifted to sleep. He slid off from the bed and checked the windows and balcony and then the CCTV monitor. He lay on the other side away from her and he fell asleep.

        He suddenly woke up from a bad dream and he's sweating though it was cold in their room. He sat up and looked around to search for Freya. The spot where she's sleeping is empty and their babies are sleeping.

        He slid off from the bed and check the bathroom and the closet. He leaves the room and called for her name.

"Babe?" He called. "Freya?" He called softly. He went downstairs and found her speaking in Spanish on the other line. He knew how to speak one and she looked pissed and she's ordering someone to kill. "Hey." He startled her and she turned to her. "What's going on?"

        Freya exhaled.

"Just a while ago, James and Natasha with their babies are in danger. Then, suddenly Yves attacked one of my bars in Manhattan."

        He pulled her into a hug to calmed her down and to comfort her.

"Everything will be okay."

"It means war. He's declaring war to Phoenix." She said angrily.

"Baby Phoenix…" He caressed her hair. "Relax. We could plan a counterattack."

        She exhaled and let him coax her. He carried her back upstairs and he gently pulled the blanket to give a space for the two of them. Then he covered a pillow on the other side, and he let her snuggle on top of him until she's satisfied and fell asleep.

        His poor beloved. She's suffering without even telling him. He gently caressed her hair and thought of something that would make her feel better and happy. He gently kissed her forehead and fell asleep after a long thought.
