It was 19 months since the night at the Queen's ball, when Dimitri came back to Rose after being Strigoi for 10 years. Rose had given birth to a baby girl and scandal broke about whose baby it was. Sure Dimitri was Dampier again but Queen Tatiana was horrified about her successor's guardian being a mother. Queen Tatiana made a deal with Rose and Dimitri they are to share the duty of watching Lissa and the little baby that Rose called Anastasia Lissa Belikov. The baby looked like Rose with the brown hair, almost black hair but the problem was the red almost pink eyes. Anastasia was half Strigoi!

Rose had just finished guarding Lissa for the afternoon and heading back to her chambers to find Dimitri asleep on the sofa with Anastasia sleeping on his chest. Rose smiled at this sight and ran to get her camera, before coming back and taking a photo quietly. She looked over at the TV and saw that Dimitri was watching a Disney film with their little girl who now looked like she was around 10 months old.

Rose sat on the arm of the couch watching 2 of her favorite people sleeping. She picked up Anastasia when she woke up giggling up at her mum. Anastasia who had Rose's playful side hid herself in Dimitri's hair "Mm Ana go back to sleep" Dimitri grumbled in his sleep as Anastasia giggled in his ear "Come on Ana bed time" Rose whispered as she picked her daughter up and went into the small child's bedroom, putting Ana to bed quietly with a bottle of milk mixed with blood.

Rosemarie walked out of the nursery and sat on the edge of the sofa as she stroked Dimitri's cheek softly & Dimitri smiled in his sleep as he used his strong arms to pull Rose down and against his chest. Rose giggled as she was pulled onto Dimitri's chest; she rested her head on his chest and looked at her wedding ring with a smile. She and Dimitri got married a couple of weeks after she told Dimitri, Lissa and Christian she was pregnant one day when she and Lissa was watching Christian and Dimitri train as Christian was gonna try to become the first Moroi Guardian, and if that works out he wishes to be Lissa's guardian to give Dimitri and Rose a break for a while to go on their honeymoon and maybe a holiday.

One day Rose was called into Tatiana's throne room. Rose dressed respectable and went to see the Queen "You called me your royalness?" Rose curtsied slightly as Tatiana stood up and walked towards Rose "Rosemarie, since I am elderly I am going to retire and pass the throne to Vasilisa on her 20th birthday, Since that is soon she is to marry by her 21st birthday so the kingdom will have a king for the first time in 25 years" Tatiana said softly as Rose nodded "Is Lissa to know?" she asked as Tatiana shook her head "I will make the announcement at Vasilisa's birthday party, you may go now Rosemarie" Rose left the throne room and headed back to her quarters to find a note from Dimitri 'Outside with Ana, Lissa & Christian, Helping train Christian again while Lissa is looking after her god daughter… Love your Dimitri' The note was elegantly written in Russian which Rose learnt to read a little.

Rosemarie walked outside and laughed seeing Lissa dressing Anastasia into a pretty dress and doing the little girls hair. Rose walked up to them and sat beside Lissa "Having fun there Liss?" Lissa nodded before a fire ball neally hit her "CHRISTIAN!" Rose yelled as Anastasia screamed and ran straight into Rose's chest "Ssh baby girl, Uncle Chris didn't mean to throw a fire ball" Rose whispered softly as she stroked her daughter's hair before seeing a Strigoi and giving the screaming Anastasia to Lissa "Run Liss take Ana with you, go inside the castle" Rose whispered as Lissa got up and started to run inside.

The strawberry blond Strigoi was someone Rose recognized "Alicia?" Rose whispered as the strawberry blonde smirked and walked closer as Dimitri and Christian stood next to Rose. Alicia was Rose's best friend before she was sent to St Vladimir's academy "Hello Rosemarie" Alicia smirked as there was a loud scream belonging to Lissa. Christian heard the scream and headed to it as Alicia suddenly ran away.

Christian reached the passed out Lissa and picked her up only to see a black haired male taking the screaming Anastasia out of the castle grounds. Christian took Lissa to the nurse and stayed by her side. Rose and Dimitri ran "Where's Ana?!" Rose said quickly and Christian sighed "Sorry Rose, Dimitri a Strigoi took Anastasia" he said softly as he held onto Lissa's hand tightly. Lissa had a huge bruise on her head and a few broken ribs, she was lucky to be alive after a Strigoi hit her. Rose started shaking as she broke down and cried into Dimitri's chest, Anastasia had made Rose weak, but who wouldn't be weak for their child.

Later that night Rose had cried herself to sleep in the hospital room in Dimitri's arms. Dimitri carried her back to their chambers and laid down on the bed with Rose still in his arms. Rose didn't want to know what the Strigoi wanted with her daughter; she just wanted to sleep till this nightmare disappeared…
