I was holding Isaac in the garden when Cooper came running out.
"You need to hide."
He said out of breath, glancing back at the way he came from.

I quickly hid behind some hedges, holding Isaac tightly to my chest. Someone else came into the garden and I held my breath.

"Where is she, American?"
Ian's voice rang in my ears and I held Isaac tightly. There was a gun shot and Cooper fell down lifeless in front of me.

I covered my mouth when suddenly Isaac was taken from me. There was another gun shot and he dropped to the ground.

"No!"
I screamed, tears streaming down my face. Ian's face appeared and he pointed the gun at me.

Suddenly he was tackled by Nikolai, who was bleeding from the stomach and shoulder.

A new man appeared and he shot Nikolai and Ian. He smirked at me and pointed his gun at me.

I heard the gunshot before I woke up, Nikolai shaking me.
"Emma! You're ok, it's ok."
He exclaimed as he pulled me into him. It felt like I couldn't breathe.

I clung to Nikolai and breathed his scent in, tears flowing down my cheeks.
"It was awful."
I whispered.

"It's okay. Just go back to sleep. I'll protect you."
He replied, stroking my hair. I held him close as I dared to close my eyes again.

**

I woke up and Isaac lay beside me, Nikolai on the other side. I smiled at Nikolai and he smiled back.

He reached over and stroked my face. I closed my eyes as he did so, his hand was soft and comforting.

He pulled his hand away and I opened my eyes to look at Isaac. He was still sleeping between us.

"Do you want to talk about your nightmare?"
Nikolai asked me and I nodded, looking up at him.

"I was in the garden and Cooper came to tell me to hide. All of a sudden he was shot, Isaac was taken from me and.....he killed him."
I began, tears began to stream down my face and Nikolai quickly got out of bed.

He walked over to my side and wrapped his arms around me, holding me tightly.

"Suddenly you were there, you had been shot already but you tackled Ian down, then you were both shot by this new man. He turned towards me and I heard the gun shot, but I woke up."
I told him, wiping my stray tears away.

Nikolai stroked my hair and sighed.
"I'll protect you and Isaac. Don't worry."
He whispered and I leaned into him until I calmed down.

He released me awhile after and went back to his side of the bed. He sighed, when Isaac woke up.

He smiled at me and I smiled back. I picked him up and held him close to me.
"Goodmorning Isaac."
I whispered and he gurgled.

"I realized we missed your birthday."
Nikolai announced and I smiled at him.
"It's fine. I was at the cottage, plus we missed yours also."
I replied and he sighed.

"It's ok Nikolai."
I reasurred him and he nodded, giving me a small smile.
"C'mon Isaac is probably hungry."
I announced, sitting up.

"I let you sleep in, he's eaten already."
Nikolai replied and I smiled at him.
"Thanks."
"Anything for my wife."
He replied and I smiled even wider.

"I'm going to take you and Isaac to the garden today."
He said and I smiled.
"That'd be nice."
I replied and he nodded.

**

I wore a long white sundress and Nikolai wore the usaul. Isaac was dressed in a casual shorts and shirt.

I held him on my hip and held hands with Nikolai as he led us down to the garden.

We walked down the path silent, I didn't care, I was with my boys and thats all that mattered.

"My parents are coming for dinner and so our yours. They have a major announcment."
He said and I nodded.
"So you're saying Isaac and I have to dress up?"
I asked and he nodded.

"I guess so."
I muttered and Nikolai chuckled. Isaac looked around and finally we got to the gate.

As soon as we walked in Isaac was amazed, like he was the first time. He looked around and I smiled at Nikolai. He smiled back and I placed a kiss on his jawline.

He brought our hands up to his mouth and kissed the back of my hand.

We walked around the garden and enjoyed the view before sitting at the gazebo and having some maids bring us food.

"This is wonderful."
I said and he nodded. Isaac then threw something at Nikolai. Nikolai looked at Isaac and he giggled.

"Isaac's birthday is in seven months. One year old."
I said and Nikolai smiled.
"Thats not for awhile. Three months after we can try for number two."
He announced smirking and I rolled my eyes.

"Why three months?"
I asked.
"So Isaac will be about two years older."
He replied and I rolled my eyes again.

He reached over and held my hand. I smiled at him and he smiled back.
"You're weird but I guess I love it."
I said and he was the one to roll his eyes now.

**

"What do you think the surprise is?"
I asked Nikolai, as we stood at the front door, waiting for everyone to reply.

"I don't know."
He replied and I sighed. I glanced at Adrien and she walked over as I picked at the dress I was wearing.

"You look fine, stop worrying."
She whispered and I slightly nodded, pulling my hair onto my shoulder. I wore a slim red gown, with a v neck and straps that clung to my shoulders.

Nikolai wore an all black suit with a red tie, making us match. Isaac wore a small red dress shirt and black pants and socks.

Nikolai held him in his one arm, his other arm wrapped around my waist. He reached down and grabbed my ass, causing me to jump.

"Nikolai!"
I hissed and he smirked.
"You look hot."
He whispered with a wink and I rolled my eyes as the front door opened and our families walked in.

Anthony was followed in by a woman, who held his hand. She looked around amazed, and her eyes landed on me.

She looked at Nikolai and Isaac, smirking. I took Isaac from Nikolai and glared at this woman.

"Be nice."
Nikolai whispered, giving a small smile to our families. I smiled at Nikolai's parents as they came up to us.

"Emma, you look goregeous!"
Nikolai's mother exclaimed, pecking my cheek and I smiled her.
"You look stunning, as usual."
I replied and she grinned.

"Hello Isaac."
She muttered, pecking his forehead and he giggled. Nikolai's mother reached up and pecked his cheek, telling him he was handsome while Nikolai's father approached me.

"Emma, you look beautiful."
He told me and I smiled at him.
"You look very handsome."
I replied and he grinned. He rubbed Isaacs head then approached Nikolai as my parents walked up.

I spoke to them before Anthony and that woman came up.
"What an ugly baby."
She muttered to me and my eyes widened.

Nikolai glanced at me then at the woman.
"Thats a strong opinion."
Nikolai commented and she turned towards him.

"Who is this woman?"
I hissed at Anthony as she walked over to Nikolai.
"My-"
"Arent you delicious?"
She asked Nikolai and my head snapped towards them.
"Excuse me!"
I scoffed and she ignored me.

She reached up at Nikolai, for his face and I cleared my throat. Nikolai grabbed her wrist tightly and her eyes widened.

He lightly shoved her hand away from him and she glanced at Nikolai. Anthony looked away and I looked at him.

"Who is she?"
I repeated, sending her a glare and she looked away.
"My fiance."
He replied and my eyes widened in horror.

**

"Oh please."
Tina, Anthonys surprise fiance said as my parents explained Nikolai and I's situation.

So far, I wasn't liking her.

"You're nineteen-"
"No bitch, I'm twenty."
I snapped and Nikolai sent me a look.

"Whatever you're twenty with a five month old baby?"
She asked and I nodded.
"Whats it to you?"
I asked. I was suddenly defensive.

"Well I mean jeez isnt that young?"
She asked and my eyes narrowed at her.
"I don't want your judgement. Nor is it needed, snake."
I replied and she gasped.

"Now leave my home. Anthony, she is no longer welcome here."
I added then picked up Isaac and left the dining room followed by Adrien.

"You handled her well."
She commented and I sighed.
"Well I mean really. She comes dressed ready for the club! She has to make all these comments on my life! She called my baby ugly, my husband delicious in front of my brother! She's disrespectful, especially to my heritage! The fiance of my brothers are suppoused to respect me!"
I exclaimed.

"Shes white trash!"
I added and Adrien burst out laughing. I put Isaac in his crib then we sat on the couch until he fell asleep.

We left to my room and left to my room. We sat on my bed chatting before Nikolai came up.

Adrien left and he sat next to me.
"Well after you left so did she and your brother. Then after a longer time your parents and mine left."
He muttered and I nodded.

"I mean she was judging me like it was her job!"
I exclaimed and he chuckled.
"Lets go have a shower."
He said and I sighed then agreed.

After we showered we cozied up in bed and watched a movie before I fell asleep in his embrace.
