Hey guys! Yep! I'm at it again. Reading this story is so weird. It has seen so much of my maturing. In chapter 12, I was just getting out of middle school. Now it's chapter 19 and I'm about to be a junior in high school!

I have a whole different way of thinking now. Can someone explain to me why I was so obsessed with race back then? OMG! And all the OC's. I hate OC's. Lol. Well, for all of you who still are reading this fic, here you go...

Please R&R

A thick air of anticipation settled over the room as they all waited for some sort of answer from Tala's new found relative. Jou's blue eyes were glued to Tala's confused and beautiful face. She remembered all the days leading up to Mariah's labor when she would spend hours in the mirror, practicing what she would say to her son when she had the chance. All those excited hours seemed to prove in vain because presently, there was nothing in her head.

Mariah tilted her head to the side in a pondering motion. So she's Tala's mother? That's probably why she wanted to deliver the babies so badly. She smiled to herself looking at Jou's bewildered expression. She seemed to be trying to gather the right words to say to her son. Then the pinkette's attention turned to the male standing beside her. His stone expression said it all. He obviously wasn't as happy to see Jou and she was to see him. Maybe it's just the shock.

Just as Tala was about to ask for the female's identity once more, the wide sterile door swung open revealing Dr. Peyton. Jou felt relieved to have something to busy herself with while she sorted her thoughts out. She didn't expect to be so dazed and of guard. She turned to her fellow co-worker.

"We need to examine the babies for a moment to make sure they're slight premature birth did not affect them." Dr. Peyton spoke as two other nurses entered the room to relieve the infants of their mother and auntie's care. Mariah eyes met with the beautiful angel's in her arms. They wanted to take the babies again? The nurse approached her beside opposite of Tala.

"Wait." Jou protested before the nurses could get the infants. "This isn't standard procedure."

"Yes Dr. Ivanov, for twins, it is." Jou had just joined the hospital a little after she heard her son was expecting, Dr. Peyton was way most experienced there and in their over all career, she was older. She couldn't really argue.

Mariah held Jaden protectively to her chest. She trusted Jou, and if she said it didn't seem right, they were not taking her children. The new mother waited for Jou's consent before handing the little boy over to the nurse. Kadie followed suit, slowly and gently gliding Jaria into the nurse's arms. Then they all left the room.

Mariah could confidently say she already felt empty when her children were not around. The room was still silent except for the machine beeping in the pinkette's ear every time her heart beat. It was nighttime, but still, all of the vibrant flowers shinned brightly from across the room. Many people had brought flowers, balloons and more baby presents along with them to give to Mariah and Tala. There were so many, it made her feel crowded and she had Mariam and Bryan take some of them back to the mansion. But she was very thankful.

She slid her hands over her now empty stomach. They were so much apart of her now, Jaden and Jaria out of her presence was like missing an arm or leg. A feeling no mother enjoyed. Mariah was no different.

Jou's mouth was turned down in a dissatisfied frown and the pinkette didn't know if it was because of Tala or Dr. Peyton.

"Yo!" it came from Bryan, catching everyone's attention and tearing Mariah from her thoughts. "So, Lil' Red, how's it feel to have a baby mama!"

Kai rolled his eyes. "Bryan, I thought you dropped that stupid gangsta act." He asked coolly, feeling a headache coming on from all the commotion lately.

"It ain't stupid." He said definitively, while slouching down in the hospital sofa to get into character. "While 'Riah was in hur screamin' bloody murder and mess, I met my dawg Jamie! He tight, yo. I feel a whole re-inspiration comin' on." Tala's eyes widened at the fact.

"You met Jamie?" the redhead asked, walking over to Bryan, mentally slapping himself for forgetting Jamie was supposed to get out two months after he did. Silently praying that the ex-convict didn't inform the big mouth Russian on what happened the last time they talked.

"Yeah man, he said you and him waz homies. And if you his homie, then he ma dawg too, ya dig?"

Tala furrowed his eyebrows at this, for he didn't actually understand what Bryan said, but nodded anyway.

"Yeah dawg, like er'body you eva knew in yo life waz out dere! Here I thought you waz some lonely, pathetic, friendless, insecure, anti-social, gutless, ball-less--"

"Ok Bryan. I get it." Tala halted the onslaught of insults as he walked back to Mariah's bedside as she lay seemingly deep in thought. She looked so different without the huge mountain of baby sitting on her abdomen now. He gently took one of her hands that was resting on her stomach.

"Hm." Kai started, staring at his folder arms. "The idiot is right. There were a lot of people out there that I wouldn't have guessed you knew. I was… shocked."

"'Ey yo, I ain't no ijit! One day you gone be happy you gat somebody like me 'roun', you heard?"

"Yeah, whatever." Kai waved his hand in a dismissive manor, knowing if he went on insulting Bryan, the annoying teen would only pissed him off more. This would cause him to have to disturb many mothers and hospital staff by forcible trying to throw the lavender hair teen out the window… which does not open for unknown reasons.

Tala made it a point to put out all other conversations and goings-on in the room, and focus on the pinkette whom was subconsciously biting her bottom lip due to nervousness. "The babies will be fine. This is the best hospital in Moscow." The redhead soothed.

Mariah nodded, only half hearing her children's father.

"I'll… go check on them if you want." Jou offered.

Mariah perked up. "Yes, that would make me feel loads better." She smiled. Jou nodded, and with that, left the room.

With the Babies

"Um… I'm sorry. We don't have record of a 'Boris' as the children's guardian." A middle-aged lady with thin rimmed glasses and slightly messy brown hair typed on the computer while talking to a talk, dark man.

"No, I am their grandfather. Tala Ivanov is my son. Surely your records have that." Boris, the evil from down under, spoke smoothly to the naïve woman at the desk. "I was just stopping in, he doesn't know I'm here. I wanted to surprise him, but I just couldn't wait to see my little darlings." Spencer and Ian smirked inwardly while standing behind the menace.

They kept watch to make sure no one who knew them spotted them in the nursery section of the hospital. The lady sighed, frustrated with this creepy man talking to her. He had been bothering her for about 30 minutes and counting. It was uncomfortable and weird how he started the conversation with a series of compliments to her features. It made her shiver inwardly and outwardly with disgust.

She was relieved when she saw those fateful words on her computer screen that would let this man leave her in peace. "Oh," her eyebrows rose in an almost sarcastic surprise. "Lookie here, it says that you are Tala Ivanov legal guardian. Go right through that door." She pointed to the door leading to all the newborns.

Of course he already had knowledge of where to find the infants, for he had taken several from that very hospital over that past years. Dr. Peyton would have surely handed them over to him, but he didn't want to draw any unnecessary attention to himself. He had knowledge of how fretful Tala could get in these situations, for all he knew Tala could have tipped some staff off about him.

Just as he was about to enter the door, the lady chimed, "Oh, they can't go inside with you. It's against hospital policy. Infants are extremely susceptible to germs and other organisms which can harm them."

"But I can't hold both of the twins." Boris thought quickly, glancing around suspiciously at all the passing nurses.

Just then, Jou walked up to the desk and pressed herself to it eagerly. Boris had full knowledge of who she was, and immediately tensed.

He couldn't just go inside quickly and snatched the babies because the secretary might panic and shout for him to stop. Then when they find out who he is, they will have full surveillance on the infants and he'd never get to them. But if he stayed, and Tala or Mariah told Jou anything about him, she could recognize him and his plan would still fail. He chose to act as natural as a whacked-out weirdo like him could act and stay put.

"Hi Lola," Jou greeted, excited about meeting her son and even more that she would get to see his children in a few seconds. They were so adorable. She paid no heed to the three up to no good, idling by the entrance to the nursery. "I was wondering about the tw--"

"Dr. Jou!" an urgent voice came from down the hall, interrupting her question. "You are needed! A client just went into cardiac arrest and Dr. Peyton is no where to be found!" Immediately, Jou ran down the hall to where the male nurse was leading.

Boris let out a slow, unnoticed breath. Yes, the plan is still in play. Stupid women. He could barely hold in his smirk that would explode on his face at any moment. "Um, Miss, the door." He gained her attention.

The lady sighed. She really wasn't up to fighting with this guy, he gave her a bad vibe. "Ok, only one can enter with you." She gave in.

"Thank you, ma'am." He did a slight waist bow that only made the lady cringe. "Come Spencer." Then he lowered his voice. "Ian, you stand guard. Make sure the strange looking nurse who just ran off does not come back here." At that, the two dastardly males entered the infants' zone.

Boris calmly walked throw the stark, white hallway with his hands in his pockets and the giant Spencer in toe. 203… 204… 205… he counted down the doors.

With Jou

She had just finished saving yet another patient's life, taking the place of her absent co-worker. This left Jou very unsettled. She was sure Peyton's pager should have gone off. If she couldn't take care of her own patients, there was no way Jou could trust her with her grandchildren. After disposing of her surgery gloves, Jou hustled back in the direction of the desk.

With the Rest

Mariah's worried expression was bedridden until finally, she had had enough and those beautiful golden eyes turned to her boyfriend. Tala stared back at her trying to be strong and not show his locked up anxiety. His hand was slowly numbing, as the pinkette had been squeezing the life out of it ever since he put it in her possession.

"Tala, something's not right. Your mom should have been back by now with my babies!" her eyes pleaded to him.

"She's not my mother." He said sternly, before his face relaxed. "But I'm sure she just ran into some work. Clearly while she was in here she forgot she actually had a job to maintain and that she wasn't just a visitor." He sneered, not deciding how he truly felt about his "relative" just yet.

"Yo Tala, Mariah is a mama, now. You know gurlz be havin' dat mama's intuition junk."

"That's women's intuition, you fool." Kai corrected rubbing his aching temples. "And it's not real. It's just something females claim for a certain sense of pride."

"Eat your heart out you cold bastard." This came from Mariam. "Ever sense we got here you been ridin' poor Bryan."

"Yeah Kai, why you all on my jock?!" Bryan yelled, happy Mariam was back on his side, feeling a sense of justification.

"Because you're an imbecile." The bluenette retorted through clenched teeth.

"Man, why you so racist! Always tryin' to keep a brotha down!"

"What are you talking about? You're Russian! I'm Russian! How am I racist?"

Tala could see Mariah's temper starting to rise again and her eyes darted from Kai to Bryan. He soothingly massaged her shoulder with the hand she was holding, replacing it with the other hand.

"Why you usin' all these terms and junk? Tryin' to confuse me! I see you Kai, I see you."

"What are you blabbing about?! What terms?"

Mariah started to wrenched the pristine blankets of the bed, suppressing the rising scream in her throat.

"Yo racist terms that you always be usin'!"

"Yeah Kai, you are kinda racist." Mariam agreed, nodding vigorously. "No, you no what Kai, you're not only racist, you're people-ist."

"Shut up!" Mariam bit back, shirking a few sizes under Kai's death glare that he was trying so hard no to whip out. "I am not racist! I'm Russian! This fake idiot," he grabbed Bryan by the shirt. "Is Russian! Not please enlighten me! WHAT IS SO RACIST ABOUT THAT!?"

"I'M GOING TO ENLIGHTEN ALL OF YA'LL IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP!" Mariah finally snapped, screaming at the top of her lungs. Then she grabbed Tala's shirt and brought him down her eyes level. In her most threatening voice, she hissed, "Go. Get me. My. BABIES!" At that Tala, fearing for his life, ran out the door as if the red hair on his head was actually fire. Kai followed him, but the redhead didn't noticed until his ears stopped ringing.

"That Bryan is so stupid." Kai muttered under his breath, continuing to massage his throbbing head. Yelling definitely didn't make his killer headache better.

"I don't even see why you still argue with him." Tala chuckled slightly.

With Jou

She had just made it back to the desk seeing as she had to make another quick stop for a patient. She had been picking up all of Dr. Peyton's slack. When I get my hands on that chick… she seethe in he head, managing a calm and cheery appearance on the outside. "Hey Lola, I'm back. Do you have any idea where Dr. Peyton is? She hasn't been making any of her rounds." The frustration drizzled slightly into her words.

The midget who was waiting and watching for Boris knew he would have to stall the woman. "Dang it!" he said under his breathe.

With Boris

304… 305… 306! "Here we are." He announced to no one in particular, merely reveling to himself. He and Spencer exchanged twisted, evil grins before the purple haired troll put his hand on the doorknob, twisted it and pushed the door open.

The room was dark and bleak, only light from the moon outside the window filtered in. When he and Spencer were inside he eyed the lone silhouette on the other side of the room.

"What took you so long?" the female hissed in a hushed voice. "People will wonder where I've been. And if Jou goes to the nursery and sees that these two are not in there and I'm no where to be seen--"

"Silence, Dr. Peyton." Boris cut off the angry woman. "Where are my babies?" he asked in that authoritative and threatening tone he used to control people.

Dr. Peyton felt increasingly uncomfortable being in a dark room with either of the two, especially when no one knew she was there. "They're over here. I put them to sleep with some meds, so they shouldn't cry while you're making your way out."

His head then snapped towards the woman. "Who told you to knock my children out?" in one motion his hand came down on the woman's face.

She held her cheek in shock, pain and fear. "I'm sorry, I thought I'd make it easier on you." She apologized.

"Don't you ever touch my babies unless I authorize you to!" he growled walking over and taking the sleeping Jaden in his arms. "Spencer, get the other one." The blond did as he was told.

With Jou

"Um… could you please direct me to the Ivanov twins? They're my grandchildren." Jou smiled brightly.

"Oh!" the lady exclaimed in surprise and disgust, getting the notion that she was somehow involved with the repulsive Boris.

Ian saw this as his chance to distracted her. Using his midget powers, he ran up to the model-talk woman. Jou couldn't help but be caught off guard when she felt something like a dog or cat rub against her leg. She let out a high pitched, "Ep!", clutching her chest in shock.

"I'm sorry, ma'am." The boy apologized. "But you seem really nice and none of the other nurses will help me." He thought he sounded sincere and by the way Jou smiled at him, he knew he was successful. She was totally oblivious to the fact that she needed to get to her grandchildren as soon as possible.

"What's your problem deary?" she asked stooping down. Ian hated it when people did that, but put on a false smile.

"It's kind of embarrassing." He faked a timid persona and made imaginary circles on the floor with his foot looking down.

"Go ahead. It's ok."

Yes, it's working. Master Boris is right, nice people are idiots. Hehehehe. He thought to himself. "Well, I was born prematurely and when I turned four the doctors told my mother I would always be this size. And well…" Man, this dude need a Grammy for this. "I can't reach the bathroom door and I really have to go."

With Kai and Tala

"Kai, you can't just take your anger out on people just because your girlfriend isn't sleeping with you. You see my position. Is getting laid really worth is?" Tala and Kai cruised down the hall of the hospital, unknowing of what misfortune was taking place at this very moment.

"YES! Tala, the last time I got laid was a whole month ago. It's giving me a headache! And so is Bryan! And so is the clean, sterile, squeaky, boring, cold hospital! I swear Tala, if I didn't love you…" he trailed off.

"Kai are you sure you haven't contracted some STD that's giving you a head—Hey, is that Ian with Dr. Jou?" Kai looked to where Tala was pointing and realization smacked them both in the face.

When the big nosed rat saw the two, his eyes widened immensely. "Oh no!" He had no choice, but to run. No doubt they would squeeze him for information. But his worst feel was being stuck with Kai! He remembered being tortured for no good reason when he was his roommate in Biovolt. "Oh no!" Ian scream again, more to chase away the flashbacks. A shiver ran down his spine as he took off.

Tala scrambled to the desk. "Where are my babies?!"

"Sir, calm down-" the poor tortured lady started, but Kai grabbed her by her blouse.

"Listen lady, we have reason to believe that a sick twisted freak is going to kidnap them so if you don't tell me where those children are now, so help me God!" he said in one breath.

"He went in there." The secretary gasped out.

Hearing this, Jou took off in the direction of the nursery, adrenaline pumping through her. Tala and Kai followed closely behind.

The frazzled secretary breathed out. "I have GOT to get another job!"

With Boris

He and Spencer were just entering their black getaway car when Ian nearly ran into it.

"You guys were just going to leave me!?" he yelled out of breath. "…With Kai in there!"

"You're expendable and trustworthy. We knew it wouldn't be a problem." Boris said, cradling baby Jaden before placing him in the blue and duck covered baby car seat he had bought. "Spencer, lock experiment number T3 in her car seat and be careful." He warned, walking around to the driver's side while the other two slid into the back seat.

He started up the engine with a malicious smirk. "This was way too easy." And with that, he drove off with Jaden and Jaria out cold in the back of the stolen black Cadillac.

Whoa! Ok, I basically stayed up all night for you guys/girls. I hope you liked it.
