for following and making this a favorite.

It means alot to me and please if you have some ideas or questions feel free to review, I will answer the best I can and make this story worthy of reading :D

Thank you all so much :D


There will be some Tasha hate since I am not a big fan so expect some negative Tasha scenes. Rose and Dimitri will be seeing each other again, but there are important things coming, that need to happen before they meet. They will be seeing each other in maybe three to four chapters time.

Patients is the key of life :D


We are all broken,

that´s how the light gets in.

Tokyo

Olena´s POV

"Thank you for meeting me"

"I always have time for you and your children Olena. I made a promise to you and your son that I would keep your family safe. However you know I don´t do anything for free"

"Yes, I know. how much will it be?"

Zmey sits down at his desk and offers me a seat

"This time Olena I am not going to ask you for your money, it´s little more of a personal matter. You see, I have to go away on business to Tokyo for a month and I need someone to take care of my daughter while I am a way. You and whoever you choose will stay here and make sure that everything goes as it should. And in return I will take care of your little….Problem"

His daughter, Rose. Rose, Is Zmey´s daughter.

"Rose is your daughter?"

"You two have met?, then our deal shouldn´t be a problem. I will send some of my men to accompany you to your house where you can get your things and by tomorrow morning your...Problem will be gone"

He smiles

"What do you say Olena?"

I take a happy sigh and smile

"Yes, Thank you. And don´t worry about Rose, We will take good care of her. She´s in good hands. And thank you again for everything"

"It´s my pleasure. Onto another subject, how is your son?"

"Oohh, Dimitri was doing alright last I heard from him."

"That is good, has he been around lately?"

"No, not for the last few years, but at least I know he´s alive which is the all that matters"

That boy hasn´t been home in five years. We all miss him so much, he´s my only baby boy, my BIG baby boy. I wish he would call more often and settle down with some nice girl, and not that horrible Tasha woman who tries to much. I should call him, Yes, i´m going to call him and just check in on him. I´ll do it tonight when we have settled in here in this mansion and Zmey is gone.


Rose´s POV

"How long will you be in Tokyo? And is there enough Ice cream in the house for all that time, since you won´t let me take a car"

I say stuffing my mouth with french fries, following Baba out the front door

"Rose, you are more worried about not having enough ice cream than me being gone."

Baba says with a smirk

"Yeah, well I need my food. So tell me how long will you be gone?"

"A month, I promise I will be back soon"

"What if something happens? What if I fall? BABA, WHAT IF I RUN OUT OF FOOD?"

I almost shout with my eyes wide open, sounding worried and desperate

"Don´t worry, Olena will stay here and take care of everything you need, she will cook for you and make sure you don´t need anything"

"I´m sorry, what?"

"Olena, you like her don´t you? She´s an old friend and she has a lot of experience, so be nice and eat something other than...that"

Baba says pointing at my bag of french fries, I glare at him hugging my bag closer to me, He smiles walking to me and kissing me on the forehead.

"Olena will be arriving in a few hours, so take it easy and try to relax"

"Fine, have a nice trip and try not to kill too many people will you"

"Rosemarie, this is not something we talk about outside these walls, so hussh now"

He smirks and he gets in the car and Viktor drives off.

Well, this month is going to be different, but there will only be women in the house and that´s a nice change.

I take a seat, more like struggle to take a seat on the couch because itæs really hard to move around with this huge belly making me lose all balance, I don´t turn on the TV I just sit there and rub my belly and then I start to actually talk to it or the baby

"I love you. More than anything or anyone in the world, you know that? and I know your… your Daddy loves you too, even if he doesn´t know your still in the making."

I feel tears running down my cheek

"Your Daddy might not love me anymore, but I know he loves you and he would be here if he could, but he´s working and that´s what he does best."

I smile drying the tears that are still running and won´t stop

"He keeps people safe and he Is very good at it. I want you to know that you won´t be loved less. You have me, your Dede and, your grandmother will come visit us as soon as she can.

I take a deep breath

"I hope you look like your father, maybe you have his eyes or his nose and maybe his hair."

I rub my belly and dry my tears. I know I should tell him but he doesn´t love me anymore and he made the choice to go with Tasha, as much as it hurts I hope he´s happy, he deserves to be even if he doesn´t believe it himself.


The door bell rings and I see that I have been sitting here for at least two hours just thinking about Him and our unborn child. I shake my head, dry the remaning tears and push of the couch. I walk to the door and open it

"Hello dear, how nice to see you again. We didn´t get the time to talk earlier. Look at how big you´ve grown, how far along are you now?"

Olena says smiling with her thick Russian accent. The black eye is still there and I can see a few more bruises on her arms and neck, Dimitri would be furious if he saw his mother and sister like this.

"Olena, hi, nice to see you too. I´m around six and a half months now"

"You look great dear. I´m here to make sure everything goes by plan and make sure you eat real food. On that note let me make you some dinner"


It´s been two weeks having Olena in the house, I have to admit it´s been nice having her around, I have been asking her a lot of questions and she has been really helpful. Baba calls now and then to see how everything is going and he promises he´ll be back soon.

Viktoria and I have been getting to know each other for a couple of days now and she reminds me so much of Dimitri. She came by this morning and we all decided I needed to get out of the house, so we went shopping for the baby. We were looking at some really cute hoodies when Viktoria looks at me and clears her throat

"Rose, do you know if it´s a boy or a girl?"

"No, I want it to be a surprise. And as long as it´s healthy I´m happy"

"Ofcourse"

She doesn´t say anything

"What is it Vicka? I know you want to ask me something spit it out"

"Where is the baby´s father?"

I stiffen and take a deep breath

"He´s..umm. not in the picture"

"Does he know about the baby? I´m not trying to be rude, I´m just curious"

"No, he left before I could tell him, before I even knew about this little miracle"

I look down at my belly and rub it

"What was he like?"

I smile a sad smile

"He was... is a wonderful man. I Loved him and I thought he loved me, but I found out later that I was...I was wrong"

"I´m sorry"

Vicka says rubbing my back

"It´s not your fault, don´t worry about me I´ll be fine"

"What´s his name?"

I shrug

"That´s not important. Come on I saw some really cute shoes over there"

Vicka sighs and follows me.


Dimitri´s POV

Tasha and I are in Tokyo for some business meeting with a few of Tasha´s co-workers, We have been traveling for a few months now, ever since I took her offer and left Rose. I know it was the right thing to do, but I regret it everyday. I miss her, I miss her laugh, her smile, her snarky comments and her all of her stubborness.

Mama called me the other day, asking me where I was and how everything is going. She told me about a girl they met at the market and then she told me that my father had come back, she didn´t tell me everything, I could hear it in her voice over the phone. That phone call made me homesick and worried.

Tasha and I are In her hotel room and she is drunk, she has had three glasses of white wine, seven tequila shots and now she is trying to make me drink Vodka with her.

"Come on Dimka, lighten up, have a drink"

"No thank you, I´m fine"

"O come on, why are you being so…. so boring?"

She chugs another glass of vodka.

I am sitting in one of the chairs reading one of my western books when Tasha suddenly rips it out of my hands and throws it across the room

"Tasha what are you…"

She stradles me, rips her shirt open exposing her dark blue bra and kisses me, she starts to push my duster of my shoulders but I stop her, gripping her shoulders and pushing her away from me so I can stand up and step back.

"Come on Dimka, you now you want to"

Now she is sliding her shirt off and is walking slowly towards me

"Tasha, stop this. You´re drunk and you should lay down"

"But I don´t want to"

She´s pouting now and running her hands up my chest, then she whispers

"But there is one thing I want, do you know what that is? What I want is... You"

"Okay, you are drunk, lets go, come on I´m taking you to bed"

"Now we´re talking"

she wiggles her eyebrows, I have to take a deep breath to calm down. I put her over my shoulder and she slaps my ass and giggles

"Tasha"

I growl at her and she keeps laughing. I throw her on the bed.

"Aaa you like it rough Dimka, I can be rough"

"TASHA STOP THIS"

I say walking out the door and slamming it behind me, I walk to the huge window and run my hands through my hair. I take a deep breath and then I reach into my pocket to find my cellphone and I dial Mama. Three rings and then I hear her wonderful voice on the other end answering in Russian

"Hello"

"Hello Mama, It´s me"

"Dimitri, how nice to hear from you for the second time this month, how are you doing?"

"I´m doing fine Mama, I just wanted to hear your voice"

"Is everything alright? You sound upset"

"I Just miss you, all of you"

"Then why don´t you come home?"

"That´s what I wanted to tell you mama, I´m coming home in a few months for my vacation, Tasha is going to Romania and I am coming home for a few weeks"

Mama almost screams into the phone so I have to pull it away from my ear

"Dimitri that is wonderful I can´t wait."

I hear someone talk to her in the backround

"Dimitri dear, I have to go, but call me when you land in Russia alright"

"I will"

"I can´t wait. I love you dear, bye now"

"I love you too Mama, bye"

Then the line goes dead and I put my phone back into my pocket, pick up my book and start to read again.


Abe´s POV

Three weeks in Tokyo and the meeting is in one hour, that´s about as long as the drive from the hotel to the building where the meeting is, I´m going over some papers and decide to call Rose

"Hello"

"Hello Kiz, how is everything going? Olena treating you okay"

"Yes Baba, Olena is treating me just fine, she even lets me have food every two hours do you believe that"

I chuckle, she is mocking me

"Alright that was a stupid question, but i´m glad you haven´t lost your sense of humor while I´ve been away"

"Tell me old man, when are you coming back?"

"Next week. Tell me what have you been doing?"

I already know the answer

"We went to buy some baby stuff, diapers, bottles and all of that stuff. Olena and her mother are both making blankets for the baby, so that´s nice. But you probably already know what i´ve been doing, don´t you?"

I can almost hear her raise her brow and smirking

"Goodbye Rose"

"Goodbye old man"

she hangs up and I go back to my files.


Walking through the security gate at the biggest building in Tokyo, I make sure that all my files are in order and that Viktor and Alexandr are right behind me amongst other guardians. We get into the elevator and Alexandr pushes the button for the top floor and then we wait. There is a low music playing and one or two men clear their throats, finally the door opens and I see a very big table which is surrounded by men and women wearing business suits and looking bored, and that brings me joy to see all those miserable people stiffening as they see me walking out of the elevator.

My guards all split up and are standing all over the room amongst the other guardians who are present, but one of them catches my eye and I walk right past him giving him a small nod

"Belikov"

He nods back and I take a seat at the head of the table

"Belikov, you should visit your mother more often she misses you, but it´s good to see you again after all these years"

Belikov nods and I see the edges of his mouth pull up a bit before he puts back on his guardian mask, I have known that man since he was a little boy he can´t hide that smile from me, I turn to the men and women sitting in front of me, lace my fingers together and narrow my eyes

"Lets get down to business and lets try to make this quick, I have people to see and places to be"
