A/N: Hi everyone :) this is my second Dimitri/Rose fanfiction. The first one was a bit of a dead-end for me so I'm starting fresh. Thanks and hope you like it! FYI: in this fanfiction, dhampirs can procreate and Dimitri was never a strigoi. Rose and Dimitri are married and have a daughter.

"Dimitri, can you hold Alexandra for a moment?" I asked, passing our 6 month old baby to him. He nodded and motioned for me to tend to Alena, our 7 year old daughter. She was getting ready for school and somehow, her breakfast had ended up in her hair. I gingerly picked off the pieces of egg stuck in her caramel brown hair and pulled it up into a ponytail to hide the majority of the gooey mess. I would have to wash it out after she came home from school.

"Do you want me to walk you to the bus stop?" I asked, handing her backpack to her. She was taking the prearranged St. Vladimir's bus to the airport, where Abe would fly her to Montana for her first day at my old school. I could only hope that she would behave; after all, she was my daughter. No promises could be made.

"No. I want Daddy," she said, tugging on Dimitri's sleeve. He laughed and placed Alexandra in her bouncer. I shook my head and smiled. She would always be a daddy's girl.

"We'll all come and visit soon, okay?" I promised her as I hugged Alena tightly. She kissed my cheek and nodded. "I love you," I said, hot tears springing to my eyes. My little girl was growing up too fast.

"I love you too Mommy," she called as Dimitri slung her duffel bag over his shoulder and wheeled her suitcase down the driveway. I watched from the doorway, waving. A couple minutes later, Dimitri came back, empty handed. He held me as I cried silent tears, thinking of my daughter.

We broke apart as our other daughter decided that we had had enough time mourning and started to scream. I bounced her on my hip and stuck a pacifier into her awaiting mouth. I made my way into the kitchen and checked the schedule on the fridge.

"Dimitri, I think that you have a shift today," I announced as he fixed himself a cup of warm coffee.

He frowned and joined me next to the fridge. "I'm not supposed to though," he said, snaking his arm around my waist. He kissed Alexandra's sparse hair, which was already my shade of brown.

"And what makes you say that?" I asked, trying to arch my eyebrow like Dimitri would.

He laughed at my botched attempt of a raised eyebrow. "Because I'm certain I told my boss that I wanted to switch with someone for today," he said, taking Alexandra and placing her in the playpen. He was beside me in a flash and before I knew it, he was trailing sexy kisses down my neck. "So boss, what do you say? Will you let me switch with Mikhail?" he asked smugly, caressing my curves, knowing fully well that I couldn't resist his touch. I groaned as he sucked on my pulse point with his hands traveling all over my ass.

"I give, I give," I said, giving up on being the strict boss I was when he started to unclasp my bra. He smirked and gave me a sweet kiss. I returned the favor and this time, I let him claim my mouth with his tongue. I reached up to tangle my hands in his soft hair as he lifted me up by the back of my thighs. "Wait," I said, reluctantly pulling away from his miracle working lips.

"What's the matter?" he asked, giving me a concerned look. I gestured towards the playpen.

"Alexandra," I said, sighing. I loved her to death and so did Dimitri, but sometimes, children could be the most annoying cock blockers in the universe. "We can't leave her alone down here." Dimitri thought for a minute, still holding me to his body tightly.

"I have an idea," he said mischievously. He gently picked up Alexandra and cooed to her as he tickled her belly. He grabbed her diaper bag and opened the door to Lissa's house, which was connected to my house by that very door. "Christian!" he called, knowing that Lissa was off in court doing her queenly duties.

"Hmm?" he asked, emerging from the study. His face lit up in understanding as he saw me standing behind Dimitri. He laughed as Dimitri placed a sleepy Alexandra into the spare crib, which we kept in Lissa's living room. "Go on, you little horny rascals," Christian joked as he took the diaper bag from Dimitri. "I'll take good care of her."

Dimitri and I both thanked him before shutting the door to his house and entering ours. I turned around to meet Dimitri's eyes, winking sexily. I ran my hands up his well defined abdomen muscles and chest while he held my hips.

"I need you Roza," he murmured as I ground myself against him before kissing me with passion. He took my hand and pulled me up the stairs and into our room as fast as he could before laying me on the bed. I slowly undid the buttons on my almost transparent blouse. Dimitri growled impatiently and made short work of our clothes. With no barriers in between us, his hands roamed the entire length of my body. I moaned in ecstasy as his lips grazed the tips of my breasts and he massaged each one with great care. He pulled me closer with one arm and plunged two of his fingers into my core. I couldn't help it as my hips rocked against his hand, clenching around his fingers. He soon replaced his fingers with his body and with each thrust, I moaned increasingly louder.

His thrusts became faster and faster, until he was slamming himself into me. I cried out in pure bliss as I became undone in his arms. Shortly after, Dimitri reached his release as well and we both shuddered as he spilled into me.

Half an hour later, we lay in each other's arms contently. We were both sweaty and tired, but it was well worth the work. As Dimitri buried his face in my hair, I asked the question that I had had in mind all day.

"Do you think Alena's okay?" I whispered, curling my body into Dimitri's, desperately seeking comfort.

"Roza, I'm sure she is fine. You know that Abe would never let harm get in her way," he murmured, stroking my arm reassuringly. I nodded and fell into a deep sleep, knowing that he would follow as well.

A/N: hehehe I stuck a little lemon in there :) sorry for the boring chapter, but I wanted to set the stage a little. I'll write more fluff in the next few chapters, I promise. I sense a little bit of drama coming up too. *evil laugh*
