A/N Thank you for leaving any reviews they let me know what you guys want so if you have any suggestions don't hesitate to leave them down below! Next chapter i'm thinking of a visit to Baia to visit Dimitris family let me know if you have any ideas for the chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, just this continuation of the plot.
Dimitri and I walked into the crowded airport. We had a flight to catch and we didn't have a lot of time. When we got up this morning Dimitri started packing as I took the longest shower I possibly could, we where at a hotel after all. A hour later I walked out of the bathroom so see Dimitri standing in front of my suitcase confused.
"What's wrong Comrade?" He looked over at me and shook his head.
"While you were in the shower I was trying to figure out how you managed to pack this much and how the hell it all fit." I walked over and laughed.
"The trick is rolling the clothes into little burritos." In 10 minutes we were packed but I still needed to dry my hair and get ready. I looked at the clock we still had 2 and a half hours until our plane departed, plenty of time. As I was tugging on a pair of jeans I called across the room to Dimitri, "We need to remember not to tell anyone where Delcan is or who has him. The whole reason Olive gave him to Adrian is so he wouldn't be experimented on. We either don't know who has him or he went off with some distant relative." Dimitri looked over at me.
"I know Rose I wouldn't want that to happen to our child and I don't want it to happen to anyone elses." He walked over and kissed me. We kissed until I happened to see the clock out of the corner of my eye. Our plane departs in 90 minutes.
"Fuck! I still need to finish getting ready!" I went to the bathroom and started blow drying my hair. For the first time I wished I had short hair, drying mine took forever. "Dimitri can you put the bags in the car and check us out? As soon as my hairs dry we need to go!" He walked into the bathroom smirking.
"I checked us out while you were in the shower, they don't start cleaning rooms for another hour and the car in 2 feet outside our door. I've already got everything done." I rolled my eyes, why did he have to have everything figured out. Five minutes later my hair was mostly dry and I looked semi-presentable. We got in the car and road the 20 minutes to the airport.
We have 45 minutes before our plane departs and we were in line. The hardest part of traveling as a guardian is getting through airport security with stakes. I remember the first time I flew with Dimitri
We were standing in line for TSA with our stakes on our side and I saw a sign that prohibited all sorts of things. Scissors, corkscrews, along with other items when I panicked.
"Dimitri," I hissed, " how the HELL are we going to get our stakes through the metal detectors!" He looked at me and laughed.
"That is a guardian secret." I glared at him and with as much sarcasm as I could muster up,
"Oh right it's not like I went to school form the time I was 4 to become a guardian, and I definitely didn't kill dozens of strigoi by the time I graduated." I continued, " it's not like if we get caught with these we will be locked up and put in jail!" He laughed at me again.
"Roza, if we got caught with them we would be able to get out before the realized it. Give me you stake without being super obvious about it." I looked around and slipped him my stake.
"I better get this back Belkov." I said with smirk. He went through the metal detectors and grabbed his bag waiting for me. I stared at him in disbelief, he had gotten both stakes through without any alarms going off. As I walked through the metal detector there was a loud alarm.
"Step to the side miss. Spread your arms and legs." As they passed the detector over my body I saw Dimitri smirk, I glared at him. Finally they took a quarter out of my jacket pocket. "In the future can you please empty all of your pockets?"
"Yeah no problem, sorry." Little did they know I had emptied my pockets. I grabbed my bag and walked over to Dimitri.
"I can smuggle 2 stakes through security with no problem but you set it off with a quarter, I thought I taught you better than that." I saw the gleam in his eye as I glared at him.
"The funny thing is I emptied my pocket, and I never cary any coins on me. Interesting, I wonder how it got there." He smiled and shook his head knowing I had caught him.
He still hasn't told me how to get a stake through but everytime he manages to get a coin in my pocket. Not today comrade. As we were putting everything on the conveyor belt he wrapped his arm around my waist, I grabbed his hand and uncurled his fingers revealing a quarter.
"Nice try comrade but I caught you." He sighed and put the coin in a bin. "You still need to tell me how to get stakes through, unless that's still a secret." I stared up at him hoping he would finally tell me.
"Sorry I can't." As he walked through the metal detectors I watched to see if I could figure it out and then I saw it. There was a dhampir working the metal detector. Dimitri walked through with both of our stakes as the dhampir working the detector shut off the alarm momentary. My jaw dropped. I walked through grabbed my bag.
"Well turns out you didn't need to tell me I figured it out." He turned to me and smiled.
"I was wondering when you finally would. It's pretty obvious."
"Wait how come every other time we go through it always goes off for me. Don't they shut off the alarm for all dhampirs?"
"Well let's just say I have a lot of friends working at airports." Of course he does it on purpose I roll my eyes as we speed walk to our gate.
We settle into our seats five minutes before the final departure time. As we are taking off Dimitri shifts in his seat. I look over to see him pull a western out of his pocket.
"You just can't live a day without reading a western can you." He smiled at me as I shook my head. A few minutes later I pull out some earbuds and my phone and start listening to some music, I lean my head on Dimitris shoulder and next thing you know we're in Pennsylvania.
We arrived at court around 11 p.m meaning that it was the middle of the morning. Even after sleeping on the plane I was exhausted, Dimitri even more so because he had stayed up for the flight, forever on duty. I looked over at him once we got to our apartment in Palace Housing, he looked fine but you could tell if he was able he would sleep. Right after we got everything unpacked there was a knock on the door.
"What do you bet that's Lissa?" Dimitri sighed as I stood up and walked to the door. I open the door and in comes Lissa asking questions left and right.
"How? Is it possible? Are you sure? Where is the kid? Do you think-" Dimitri and I shared a knowing look.
"Lissa one question at a time. There is only so much we know." As I sat down I wished I liked coffee.
"Ok first off how did it happen?"
"We don't really know. Something to do with being a restored strigoi made Olive and Neil be able to have a kid."
"Where is the kid? He or she could be a very important piece of res-"
"I don't know Lissa and even if I did I wouldn't let a human being be part of an experiment, human being a general term." I yawned and leaned against Dimitri.
"I understand but do you know where the baby is? I just want to see him for myself."
"No, I don't, neither does Dimitri, Adrian or Sydney. We don't know where the baby is but from what I heard it's a girl." Dimitri looked at me realizing what I was doing. Lissa on the other hand didn't seem to realize I was telling her the opposite just for added protection.
"Oh, I understand. Oh I forgot you guys were on a human schedule I should let you go to bed. I'll see you guys tomorrow morning. Bye."
"Bye Liss I'll see you tomorrow." With that she walked out the door. I looked up at Dmitri.
"Thanks for the help comrade." He stood up to head to bed.
"You handled it just fine without me Roza." I stood up and buried my face in his chest.
"Do you think they'll try to experiment on our kids?" If that was a possibility there was no way I would bring a child into this world.
"They might try but we won't let them." In that moment I knew he was right. We are both good at protecting others who we weren't related to imagine how much harder we'll make ourselves fight for our kids.
"Those kids will be legends. At school both of us were idolized separate and together we were gods but those kids will be amazing. And if you train them the world better watch out." He hugged me close and whispered,
"We will both train them and then they will be guardians even better than us." I smiled and looked up at him, he was right the future would be amazing for them.
"I love you."
"I love you too. Now you need to go to bed your dead on your feet." I shoved him with my shoulder and walked into the bedroom.
"You're more tired than I am" I said as he laid down.
"Good night Roza." He said before kissing me and shutting off the lights.
We woke up at 5 the next night, or rather I woke up Dimitri was still in bed sleeping. I decided I would have a little flashback to the academy days. Waking up early to go train with Dimitri. This would be fun.
"Wake your sorry ass up comrade. We got some training to do." He looked over at me with my hair pulled up in a bun wearing my leggings and a flannel shirt then I clicked for him.
"Go run your laps I'll be out in a minute." I walked over to the bed and pulled the covers up.
"Nice try, your running with me." Five minutes later we were running on the track. After a few miles we went into the gym and started sparing. As we moved we anticipated each others every move. We where an even match. After an hour or so we headed back to our room for showers and a quick breakfast.
I hoped you guys liked it within the next few chapters I'm hoping to get in a visit to Baia. Leave any suggestions in a review anything you guys tell me I will take into account. I will update as often as possible. Till next time!
