Jacob Moreland was asleep in his bed, when he suddenly heard a noise and woke up to see that his wife was not in bed with him and his babies were missing from their cribs.
"Nina? Nina, where are you?" Jacob asked as he got out of bed and exited the bedroom. He heard what sounded like a glass shattering in the kitchen and grabbed a bat for safety and arrived in the kitchen to see Nina face first on the floor with blood underneath of her and the babies crying near her. He then heard small footsteps and turned to see the vampire girl, Ann, coming around the corner. She lunged forward at him and jumped onto him making him fall backwards on the floor. The vampire girl grinned looking over at the babies then back and sticking her tongue out like she was hungry. She then threw up her hands and almost dug her fingers into Jacob's chest.

Jacob's eyes shot open and he looked around in relief to see that Nina was sleeping soundly in bed and the twins were still safely sleeping in their cribs. He was about to go back to sleep when his cell phone began ringing and immediately made baby Charlotte and Chase start to cry.
"If that's a scam likely call at this hour, I'm going to destroy that phone." Nina grumbled as she got up and went to pick up baby Chase and Charlotte and began to rock them both.
"Hello? Hi Rick, sleep? Yes we were asleep all four of us, but now we're awake, thank you." Jacob said sarcastically into the phone as he listened for a minute before replying.
"Yes you should be more aware of the time zones, but what's this now about Julia?" Jacob asked as Chase and Charlotte were still crying a little.
"Wow, really? That's great news. Visit? Sure, we wouldn't mind a visit. Heck, you can come move in and be the babysitters." Jacob said with a smirk.
"That was a joke. See you when you guys get here." Jacob said hanging up the phone and walking over to Nina.
"What was all that about?" Nina asked as she carefully handed baby Charlotte over to Jacob.
"Rick and Julia are going to come by for a visit in a few days. Well, the 'three' of them are." Jacob said.
"You mean Julia is pregnant?" Nina asked surprised.
"Yep, which means we're going to be new parents and an aunt and uncle now." Jacob said as she cradled baby Charlotte in his arm.
Charlotte looked up at her daddy and smiled at him.
"Hi there, you know who I am? I'm your daddy, and your my one and only baby girl." Jacob said with a smile as Charlotte giggled.
"Okay, now can you go back to sleep for mommy and daddy?" Jacob asked as Charlotte seemed to be wanting to be active now rather than sleepy.
Nina was having an easy time cradling Chase back to sleep.
"Nina, we also need to talk about....having godparents for them, you know in case....something happens." Jacob said looking at his right side where his arm had been torn off.
"Yeah I've....thought about it too sometimes. Definitely not the kids, they won't be ready in the slightest." Nina said.
"I'm not sure if Rick and Julia would be ready to handle two more kids at any time." Jacob said.
"Arion and Nova?" Nina suggested.
"Arion and Nova, they'd be good god parents should....anything happen." Jacob said as he noticed Charlotte was getting cranky. They also saw that Chase was beginning to stir again.
***************
Jacob took Charlotte out of the room so as to not wake up her twin brother. Jacob sat out on the couch and tried rocking her to sleep, but she wasn't having it. Jacob then heard a noise from behind him and turned to see Spark there with a glass of water.
"Sorry, I was just a little thirsty." Spark apologized.
"It's okay. I didn't think this one would be so fussy about sleeping." Jacob said as he struggled to calm Charlotte down.
"Well....I do know a lullaby my mom taught us to sleep when we're away from home sometimes. Can I try?" Spark asked as Jacob nodded and handed his baby girl over to the teenage fairy.
"Hi Charlotte, I'm....I'm going to be your big sister in-law one day. Here's a song my mommy sang to me, maybe I'll get your mommy to sing it to you." Spark said as she cradled Charlotte.
'Dream and sleep, sleep and dream, everything is more magical than it seems, look up in the sky and count the stars, they go on forever, they go so far, they shine so brightly and are beautiful just as you are. My love for you can never fail, it measures so high it goes off the scale, you'll grow and be as beautiful as you are in my eye, you'll shine so brightly just like the night sky.' Spark sung as baby Charlotte drifted off to sleep.
Spark then handed Charlotte carefully back over to Jacob who nodded.
"I think that means you'll be a great mom someday too." Jacob said as he headed back to his bedroom.
Connor quietly opened his bedroom door and saw Spark also out of bed.
"Spark, do you want to have a sleepover?" Connor quietly said as Spark grinned and nearly headed into Connor's room when Jacob poked his head out of his bedroom door.
"No sleepover, separate rooms until marriage." Jacob firmly said as Spark grumbled and headed into her bedroom.
