The Dragon Emporium, Book 5: Seven Years Later

Nate nodded slightly "Yes please" Ontop of being quiet and scared easily, Nathan had some of the best manners a seven year old could have. He wiggled down and felt around, laying inbetween his dad and mom.

"Hmmn...I see if anyone knows anyone good for her" He chuckled slightly, running a hand over her stomach "When do you think he or she is due?"

Ava crawled under the blankets, placing a pillow under his head, "Goodnight Nathan," She said, stifling a yawn, "Love you," She kissed his forehead, and turned off the light, closing her eyes.
Suddenly the lights flicked on again, and there was Anna, a frightened look on her face, "Mommy?" She whispered.

Jessica winced again when something that looked like a head could be seen, closing her eyes, "The Doc says he or she will be due kind of soon." She replied, "I don't remember the exact date, though..."

Nathan whispered in his sisters head nightmare?
Nolan was still sound asleep, letting out a snore every now and then.

"I can't wait..we need to think of names though" Tony said, walking over and sitting down in a chair "Unless you want to wait and see the gender?"

Jessica felt cold once more when he went to sit down, and she looked up a bit, and shrugged. She looked down at her stomach, tracing like circles on it, "I like the name Ivy." She replied.

Anna looked at her twin, and nodded her head, "Yeah," She replied, and squeezed in next to her brother when her mother lifted the covers a bit so she could squeeze herself in.

Nathan smiled, now snuggled between his sister and his dad. He was happy now, and stopped shaking as his eyes slowly driffted shut. But he soon would have a nightmare again.

"Thats a good one...if its a boy, I've always liked the name Peter...or River" He said with a shrug

(I actually know someone named River xD)

[Kewl. ]

Anna's eyes drifted to a close, too, and she fell asleep. She would have a nightmare again, as well, and it would be a frightening one, too. But when she would wake up, it would soon be forgotten...

Jessica smiled, walking over to the bed she shared with him, and laying down, staring at the ceiling. Then, out of the blue, she told him, "I love you."

(sorry, I had to signs some Chorus papers and such )

Later that night, a startling yelp could be heard as little Nathan bolted up in bed, sweating and his glazed eyes wide and scared. This was enough to wake even Nolan up, and Nathan accidently sent a vision of the nightmare into everyone's head. The nightmare invovled a small Nathan in a corner, and many division agents walking towards him.
(Thats okay, right? xD)

"I love you too" He smiled, leaning over and kissing her.

[Yeah. xD]

Anna's eyes snapped open, and she sat up as well, her eyes as large as saucers. "Scary nightmares..." She whispered, rubbing her eyes.
Ava's eyes snapped open as well, and she sat up, immediately looking around the room, "What happened?" She whispered.

Jessica's arms wrapped loosely around his neck, and her eyes closed lightly.

Little Nathan was sitting up in thier bed, rocking back and forth with his eyes wide, shaking like a leaf about to fall off a tree.
Nolan turned on the light and looked at his son, just now realizing what had happened "Shh...its okay." He said, wrapping his arms around Nathan comfortingly.

Anna, even though she was pretty shaken herself, wrapped her skinny arms around her twin brother in a comforting hug.
Ava was left at the edge, feeling kind of left out, and worried for her two children. She sighed, flicking on the light on her nightstand.

"Mommy?" He called out, seeming to not know were she was at the time. It was hard on him, being blind, unless he was with his dragon who was somewhere outside.

Ava wrapped her arms around the two children, "I'm here," She said in a quiet voice, giving the two each a kiss on the head. "It's daytime now." She explained, glancing at the window. A bit of sunlight was beginning to filter through.

Nate's dragon was suddenly on his shoulder, only being about the size of a parrot, and her eyes glossed over, allowing him to see the sunlight "Pretty" he said, smiling as he got up and walked over, opening up the curtains.

Ava smiled at her son adoringly, keeping one arm around Anna. She looked over at Nolan, giving him a light kiss on the cheek.

Nate smiled, looking back at his family with a smile "Can we go play outside?" he asked

Nolan smiled, kissing her cheek back "Sure, but we need to get dressed first" he laughed lightly, getting up out of the bed and strentching slightly.

Anna hopped out of bed, and skipped into her room, closing the door so she could change into her 'morning clothes'.

Ava stood up as well, arching her back a bit and stretching her arms out.

[Wanna do Noah and Corie along with this?]

Nathan ran out of the room, going into his room which was painted a dark blue so he could change into his clothes for the day.

Nolan smiled, walking over and kissing her on the lips "Our kids are so cute" he sighed, laughing "Must get it from you"

(Hm, sure!)

Noah walked quietly down the hall, head down. What was Heather hiding from him? It was really starting to upset him, she never hid stuff from him. The vampire stopped to think for a moment, and started walking again.

Ava turned one of the lightest shades of pink, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. She enjoyed the kiss he gave her, although it didn't last very long. She loosely wrapped her arms around his neck, looking up at him, "They get their cuteness from you, too."

~*~

Corie was outside, by the graves. She was laying down, her back on the concrete, hands folded on her stomach, eyes staring at the sky. She looked kind of sad as she hummed a quiet lullaby [the one in the video that I sent you that explains what happens to Pan]. She felt pretty lonely. Why so? Look closely, at the two graves in front of her.

Nolan grinned and got some clothes, walking into thier bathroom and quickly changing. He came back out, wearing a black polo with some jeans.

Noah was suddenly laying beside her "Hey there" He said qietly. He had known about the two girls deaths, and new that Corie was taking it kind of hard.

(Wanna do someone else to? Maybe Olivia and Andrew? Benjamin and Sarah? Jared and Sam?)

[Sures! Jared and Sam?]
[You start. ]

Corie didn't seem surprised, she just continued staring at the sky, a sort of blank look on her face. Yes, she was taking their deaths pretty hard. She had no family left, what so ever. She had stopped aging when she turned seventeen, another thing to make her feel even more worse, for she couldn't age along with her friends, so that kind of made her feel like the baby of the group. "Hey." She said in a quiet voice.

By the time he got out, Ava was already dressed in a baby blue, cotton, long sleeved button down shirt. The sleeves were rolled up a bit, so they reached her elbows. She wore a pair of jeans, and sandals.
Anna skipped out of her room, wearing a cute little pink dress, with white sandals.

[First post?]

Sophia was in bed--laying down-- for once, not disturbed by her children-- not that she minded, she was just deprived of sleep, from having to care for them so late into the night. She had faint shadows under her eyes, her hair in a loose bun. She wore a gray tank top, and a pair of pajama pants.
