Chapter 25 Amalie I wasn't sure what to make of the present that Rose had pushed towards me . She was so excited . Her mouth would not have been able to form a bigger smile even if she tried . I smiled hesitantly as I brought the present closer to me . It was heavier than I thought it would be . " We made , " Rose laughed . She was getting impatient with me . I was not opening the present fast enough . " You made it ? " I asked as I started to , carefully , remove the wrapping paper . Seven years ago , was the last time I received a gift . It had also been from the twins . " Don't tip it sideways , " Mark advised with a smile . I nodded my head as I continued to unwrap the gift . I was even more intrigued now . I was able to take off the wrapping paper on the top and open the box . I was taken aback by the bouquet of flowers that I saw . " Oh , " I gasped , a smile over taking my lips . " Let me get it out for you , " Mark smiled . He took back the box and set it on the bedside table . Mark was able to pull out the potted bouquet . He then set it in front of me . " Oh , " I said again as I studied the flowers . They were a beautiful mixture of blues , purples , and white . I wasn't sure what all the types are , but I did know that some flowers meant certain things . " Before you ask , I have a list of what each flower means . Vickie was very adamant about what she picked as per the colors that Rose said you liked , " he smiled sheepishly . He pulled the list out of his pocket and handed it to me . I looked over the list and smiled . Flowers White Roses - Purity and eternal love Purpl Chrysanthemums - Care and understanding Blue Peonies - Love , honor , and happiness Light Blue Roses - Peace White Lilies - Rebirth Lilacs - Joy of new beginnings Greenery Tree fern - Happiness ' Dusty Miller - Hope - 1/3 I loved them . The whole bouquet was perfect . " We help ! Flower lady let me put them in ! " Rose told me excitedly . " She went snip , handed me flower , and I put in green foam ! " Rose made her fingers look like scissors and made cutting motions . " Wow , you did such a wonderful job of putting them in the green foam , " I told her . She was so excited about being able to help . " Will you ? " I asked Mark , indicating to the bouquet . He smiled and took the flowers from me . When the flowers were moved , I scooped up Rose . She wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her face into my hair . " Thank you so much Rosebud . I love them so much ! It was the perfect bouquet . " " Love you mommy , " she whispered into my neck . " I love you too , Rosebud , " I said as I tried not to cry . I was painfully aware of how close I was to losing her . If I had died , she would have been alone in this world . She would have had no one to love and take care of her properly . " What did Uncle Will say ? " Mark asked as he sat in the chair beside the bed . " Beren did a really good job of healing Ama , " Cal said as he still had his arms wrapped around me . ' Course I did , ' Beren scoffed tiredly . ' If you need me , call . But for now , I'm going to sleep . ' ' Okay , I love you , ' I told her . ' Love you too , ' she whispered as she fell asleep . " Ama ? " Mark asked me . " Sorry , Beren was talking to me , " I said as she tuned back into their conversation . " She okay ? " Cal asked from behind me . " Beren is fine . She is just tired , " I told them . " Zviad is proud of her and is impatiently waiting to meet her , " Cal chuckled . " Aziz said the same thing , " Mark smiled . " I can't wait to officially meet them , " I said with a smile . " We have been waiting to meet you as well , little one , " Zviad purred from behind me . " We are also excited to meet Beren , " Aziz stated . " When she wakes up , I know she will be more excited to meet you , " I said . It was a good feeling to be wanted . I knew that Rose loved and wanted me , but to have other people want me made me smile . 2/3 Chapter 29 Allalic " So , Uncle Will said that you will be able to get out in a few days ? " Mark asked me . " I think so , there was a lot of crying , " I told him . " You sad ? " Rose asked as she looked up at me . " I was baby , but not anymore . I am very happy now , " I told her . She just gave me a nod as my answer satisfied her . Rose snugged back down into my arms . " You both protect , " Rose said to the twins . " Of course , princess , " Cal smirked . She gave them a firm nodded from my arms . " I guess you have both been designated as my protectors , " I told the twins . " Darling , we were supposed to be your protectors from the time we became fifteen , " Mark stated . I could tell he wanted to smirk playfully , but the statement brought him pain . " He's not wrong . We were planning on telling you that you were our mate when Beren showed up . You were robbed of experiencing your mate for the first time , " Cal said . " That is something that we will never be able to give you back . " " But we are hoping that you will let us court you and you will one day become our Luna . We have waited for you for years , " Mark told me as he took a hold of one of my hands . " There has been no one else . We knew you were out there , and we only wanted you , " Cal stated as he tightened his arms around me . " Okay , " I told them . " But promise me that you two will also love Rose . She may not be mine by blood , but she is my pup . I will leave you both if you hurt her . " " Love , we love her already , " Cal stated . " She is the perfect little Rosebud in the whole world .
