Chapter 1:

Five years, its been five years since my life completly changed. Lissa Dragimir my best friend was Queen , married to Christian Ozera, and now expecting their first child a little girl in a mere couple months. I was still her guardian of course, as Dimitri was still guarding Christian. Living with Dimitri was pretty much everything i could ask for and more, we didnt see eachother everyday, what with christian being gone alot but the moments he was home are always cherished.

I guess i should bring you up to speed, along with the old sibling law being squashed, Christian and Lissa were able to bring Moroi defense classes into all academies. They trained just like novies, but also there element classes taught to use their magic as a weapon as well, Its only been in the working for the last three years, so Christian and our friend Mia , often travel to different schools and over see alot of it, sometimes make changes to programs or just adjust them.

They usually split up to see different schools, but it was every three months and the stay was at least a month. It was after all very important to both Christian and Lissa.

Lissa's day is usually cosumed with meetings, and paperwork much to my horror. But seeing her in her element , leading her people with love and grace, well its a sight to behold. Being pregnant has slowed her down a bit which is why she usually stays in her office alot , even though she much prefers to be strolling around , talking to people .

It has been learned that a very low dose of antidepressants keep the darkness away but dosent completly cut her off from spirit. Eddie became Jills guardian shortly after Palm Springs , they moved back to Court once the age law was turned. They stayed here until Jill graduated, then going to New York , so that Jill could go after her runway dreams, and she is amazing at it. Lissa skypes her at least three times a week, there relationship has grown alot since first finding out they were half sisters, now you wouldnt even believe they didnt grow up with eachother. Jill sends beautiful designer dresses for her niece to wear.

I coudnt be any happier. Adrian and Sydney have been happily married and raising there son, they live off of court but still come to court usually every holiday. Seeing Adrian with Sydney is one of my happiest times, no one got to see the real Adrian, but now well now its hard to believe he has ever not been in love with Sydney. Two halves of a whole.

To which i bring you Dimitri Belikov, my other half, the man i have loved for over six years, My sexy ,beautiful Russian God , I dont know what i would do if i didnt have him in my life. Right now he was at St. Vladmires with Christian on there month long trip, along with Christian working on the magic part of defense he has Dimitri working on the physical parts, for both Moroi and Novies. I mean who better to learn from then a God right?

"Rose are you listening to me?" I realize i have been daydreaming far to long as i look over and see Lissa's smirk, she probably has been trying to get my attention for a while now.

"Sorry Liss, what was that?" I smile , the best part of my job is getting to be around my best friend everyday.

" I was asking if you wanted to go to St. Vladmires to help with the training with Dimitri, Christian thinks it will be benificial for them to see two of the best guardians in action." she smiled , I mean yeah i was the shit, everyone knew it, you put me and dimitri up against eachother well that was magic in itself.

"Lissa you have to be here, you know the doctor doesent want you to travel alot with you close to our due date." No one wanted Lissa away from her doctor she had eight weeks left.
"Rose, I wont be going it will be just you, you will come back in a month, with Christian and Dimitri. I still have eight weeks left." No way was i leaving her was she out of her mind?

"Lissa you cant even take a stroll outside without someone all over you. No way i am leaving you." To say everyone was excited about the next Dragimir Princess was an understatment. There were shouts of joy , but you can never ignore the few unhappy ones who would be all to happy to watch the Dragimir Line go away.

"Rose, I have seven other guardians , who will watch over me at all times, there is no need to worry, i will make sure you and Christian will be on skype for all the doctor apointments." Liss still had a kick out of my excitement and participation through the entire pregnancy. I was worse than Christian. I skyped Christian for every appointment , bought tons of books and constantly worried and fretted over my niece. But Im aunt rose , badass guardian what else can i do?

" Lissa I really should stay.. " I saw the resolve face and new I was going to ..

" Rose , talk it over with your team work out their scheadules what with you being gone but you are leaving tomorrow morning," I sighed , yeah i knew not to argue with a pregnant Lissa Dragimir, it would not end well.

"Fine I guess i am making a trip to ." I heard Liss laugh as i grumbled out of her office.
