How History repeated itself
"No Mommy!" Alyssa ran out of the room.
"Alyssa Vasilisa Belikov Hathaway! Don't you dare so no to your mother!" She realised that shit just got real because I used her full name.
"I'm sorry mommy". Alyssa said with a cute little pout on her face. She reminds so much of Dimitri. Those big beautiful brown eyes. Her attitude is a lot like mine but she tries to control it like her father. "It's alright. I forgive you." Her face lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Mommy, I'm hungry". Yup, she's definitely my daughter.
"Sure Ali, what do want?" I said as I lifted her up.
"Ice Cream!" Alyssa happily screamed. I laughed at this.
"Do you want to go to Aunty Lissa's and get your ice cream there?" I asked. Alyssa didn't even have to think about it. She adores Lissa and Christian. Probably because she is spoilt thank to them.
"YES! Lets go mommy!" She said as she wiggled out of my arms and ran towards the door. We all lived at Court. The court had apartments and Lissa being the queen managed to get all of us on the same floor. We lived across from Lissa and Christian. To our right were Adrian and Sydney. Adrian and Sydney are engaged. Across from them are Eddie and Mia. They are also engaged.
I used the spare key to enter Lissa's apartment. As soon we entered Ali ran into Christian's arms. They both look so cute together.
"Ali! Where's my hug?" Lissa asked pouting and putting all her stuff away. She's been busy preparing for her weeding. Yup, you guessed it; Christian and Lissa are engaged as well. I'm the only single one. I don't mind but I would love for Ali to have her father. She's asked me numerous times if she will ever have a father. I always reply saying that she does have a father but he's away on business. I hate lying to her but what am I supposed to say to a 4 year old?
"Aunty Lissa!" Ali squealed as she ran into Lissa's awaiting arms. Ali ran into Lissa with full force and we all laughed as they both collapsed on to the floor.
"What's for breakfast, Pyro?" Christian is the cook of the house. He's the only who can cook.
"Pancakes, bacon and eggs" He replied in one breath. My mouth was already watering. Everyone started laughing probably because of the look on my face.
Ali came up to me and whispered in my ear "Mommy, ice cream". I chuckled and went to get her some ice cream. After giving her some ice cream we sat down on the dining table while Christian cooked.
"So Rose, I have something to tell you. Are you listening?" Lissa said breaking the silence.
"Yea, sure, what happened? Did pyro do something?" I said with a smirk while Christian gave me a glare.
"Well, I don't want you to freak out but – Tasha'scomingin2days" She said in a heap.
"Whoa! Can you slow down! I have no idea what on earth you just said." I said while I was giggling.
"Please don't kill me. Tasha. Is. Coming. In. 2 days" She said slowly.
I froze. I didn't know what to think or how to react. That means Dimitri is going to come as well. God, all those memories came rushing back. I had built myself up after that and made sure that I didn't remind myself of what happened. I'm pretty sure I zoned out because when I came back to reality I saw Eddie, Mia, Adrian, Sydney, Christian and Lissa staring at me, whereas as my princess was busy eating her ice cream.
"Rose, are you ok?" Sydney asked me. I could easily tell that she was worried. I nodded.
"Liss, he's coming isn't he?" I asked her as I emphasized "he". She just lowered her and I could feel the guilt through the bond.
"It's not your fault Liss, please don't feel guilty," I said trying to make sure that she felt guilty because of me. "I'm so sorry Rose. If you want to a vacation and leave you are than welcomed to." She replied in a reassuring voice.
I gave her the "are you crazy" look. Her wedding was in 3 weeks and she's asking to leave on vacation! Oh hell no!
"Are you out of your mind? Your weddings in 3 weeks and you're asking me to leave on a vacation with the entire burden on your shoulders! You are my sister Liss! I have the right to stay here for your wedding. And anyways, I will have to meet him. I can't keep hiding away from. He also has the right to know that he has a kid." I said everything calmly. Everyone was shocked. They all knew about Dimitri and me and that Ali was his'.
"Little Dhampir, are you sure? We're not forcing you to do this or anything. If you don't want to meet him, we understand." Adrian said and then there was a collective "Yea, we understand" everyone replied while nodding there heads.
"Guys, I'm fine, really. You shouldn't worry about me. We should be focusing on Liss and Sparky's wedding!" I said enthusiastically and secretly hoping that it will divert all the attention I was getting.
It didn't work. They just stared at me as if I were crazy "What? Why are you all staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?" I asked, hoping no one will touch the topic we just talked about.
"No Rose. We're just shocked that you're ready." Eddie spoke. He was right. When Dimitri first left me I didn't know what to do or who to talk to. I went to Lissa and found that everyone else were there as well. I told them everything. Everything from the very beginning til the very end. They all the right to know. I thought I was going to a get a lot of shit that day, but I didn't. They all helped me threw it and for that and everything else they have done for me, I owe them my life. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for all them and I can't thank them enough.
I remember the day when Dimitri left. He just left, and the 3 things that he left was the love of life, his daughter and a note explaining why he left. I had just woken when there was a knock on my door. Before I got out of my bed and open the door, I saw a note slip under from the door. I picked it up and opened it. Before even I started reading it I realised that it was Dimitri's handwriting.
Dearest Roza,
I love you. I always have and I always will. I don't know how I should say this but I'm leaving. I'm leaving the academy because I'm going to become Tasha's guardian. As much as I don't want to leave, I have to. Hopefully when I'm able to come back. I'm already regretting this decision, but I need to do this. This is for your own good. I know that there is nothing good about this but please Roza, you have to understand. I promise you that when I come back no matter how long it takes for me to come back, I promise you that I will tell you the reason why I left. What happened in the Cabin was definitely not a mistake. That by far the best thing that has ever happened to me. And well, that place needed christening. I can't thank you enough. Please don't be angry with me. I will write you letters whenever I can. You don't have to reply but at least read them.
I love you Roza. I always have and I always will. Please accept this ring that I'm giving you. It was my great-grandmothers ring. She loved it and told me to give to someone who I will till the day I die. And that's you Roza. Please don't think that because I'm going to guard Tasha does not mean that I'm in a relationship with her. I can never be in a relationship with anyone but you. Even though Tasha is offering me children I can't do it. The only person I will ever want children with is you.
Your lover,
Dimitri
After reading this, I was bawling my eyes out. Why is my life so complicated? After this, I hardly ever left my room. If ever let my room, it would be for training or classes. No matter what, I never left my room. But then I thought, I shouldn't ruin my life because of one person. I trust Dimitri with my life and I would die if anything were happen to him. Now after 5 years he's coming back. I'm not sure how to feel. Should be happy that he's returning or sad?
