As much as I want to, I don't own the VA characters…but I do own their children. Warning: M scene between you know who! ;)

Chapter 3: The Deal and Love

Dpov [Dimitri]

"Roza open the door." I said as I leaned against the bathroom door. I told Rose about my doctor's visit, but she wouldn't let me explain. I don't have cancer. The doctor said I should becareful since my family had a history of catching it around my age.

Moments passed then I gave up. I sighed and went downstairs.

I guess I'll explain it to the kids only; I thought to myself and sighed. I looked at the clock on the wall. It's nearly nighttime which means the kids will be here soon.

I shook my head and went into the kitchen to make dinner.

Then a thought occurred to me. What if I did somehow get it? What would my family do? What would happen to them? Will I see my daughter graduate? Will I see my son get married?--I hope he asks Sarah when she graduates, and most importantly, what would become of my dear wife and soul mate Rose?

I let my mind wandered until it came to a thought I never thought I would think of, ever. From the first day they met, I always knew he would have her one day, I just never actually thought he would. The way she treated him; the way she would always ignore him.

I gulped down my pride and dialed his number.

Apov [Adrian]

Her hands wondered over my chest creating small sparks of fire to dance on my flesh. I moaned a little as she smiled. Her hands traveled downwards, and down, and down…until she touched a hard spot.

I moaned out her name. "Rose…"

She looked up to me and smiled. My hands traced down the side of her boy and rested on her bare hip. Good God, don't let this be a dream. I leaned closer to kiss her…

"Fuck!" I yelled as my phone started ringing. Ring ding dong ring ding dong ding ding ding. I rolled my eyes and picked up. "Ivashkov." I said with annoyance.

"It's Belikov." He said forcedly. I huffed. Great, the person who took my dream away actually called me in the middle of it. "I need to ask you something." he said coldly.

I rolled my eyes. "What?" I asked.

He stayed silent.

"What Belikov?" I asked again.

"I…I…" he said shakily. "I want you to have Rose if I die."

My eyes shot up. I can have Rose? I smiled inwardly. He's letting me have her? I can't believe it, I waited over seventeen years for this day, and now it has come. I imagined Rose as mine, and all the many things I've always wanted to do with her…

Wait, did he just say 'if I die'? What?

"Belikov," I said confused. "What are you saying?" He must be drunk or something.

"My family has a brief history of contracting cancer." he said solemnly. "Majority of it happens when they're around my age, and I want my family to be happy."

I nodded with a frown. I can't take his offer. Even if I do, I don't want Rose if I know he has to die. I may not like him, but I wouldn't want him to die just because I love Rose.

"Belikov," I sighed. "I loved Rose, still do, but look, she loves you." I told myself softly in my mind. "She wouldn't really move on, and the kids wouldn't want a new father." And they don't really like me and how I flirt with their mom.

"But promise me," he said seriously, "that you will help her move on."

I nodded. "Yea, sure." I said and hung up.

I looked down for a while, and then a tiny light bulb in my head lit up. I know Lissa and I have researched this before, it's worth a try! I walked to my office and got to work immediately.

But first, I have to tell Lissa. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed her number.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hello cousin." I greeted. "How do you feel for a little studying?"

"What?" she asked. I explained to her about my idea. "That's great! But he isn't right?"

I shook my head. "He won't even get it if we find this." I could hear her nod.

"Fine." she agreed. "We'll start looking tomorrow."

Rpov [Rose]

I wiped the rest of my tears away and got up from my crouched position. My legs cramped up a little proving that I spent way too much time in that position. I opened the door and peeked my head outside. I looked down the hall and up and stepped out.

I made my way downstairs to find my Dimitri on the couch reading a western novel. I rolled my eyes. Even when he's about to die, the idiot still reads them. I crept up slowly behind him and tip toed. As soon as I stood behind him, I placed my hand over his eyes.

He smiled. "I knew you would come out soon." I removed my hands and looked down at my smiling husband who turned his head. He pulled me from behind him to be in front then pulled me again so I rested on his chest. He held me close. "Will you let me explain the rest?"

I looked up at him. "Rest?" he nodded; I frowned. "Ok."

He kissed me softly before he pulled away to talk. "Well for one thing," he said. "I don't have cancer." I glowed. "But, the doctor said I have the chance of getting cancer." I frowned again. "And…" he looked at sympathetically; I urged him on. He breathed in. "I told Adrian to take care of you if I do die."

My eyes popped. He did what?

"Dimitri," I frowned. "Why?"

"Because…" he said. "He'll be able to have you as his if I do, and…I don't want to imagine you the same way as when I became a strigoi." I wanted to breakdown. That was a clear saying of how I felt when that happened. I can't explain the rest, it's to hurtful.

I shook my head. "I can't because I love you!" I cried. "How can I just do that knowing that you died?" I shook my head. "I won't be with anyone else if you do." I turned away from him.

He made me look at him. He wiped away some tears and pulled me into a kiss. He pulled away and smiled. "That's what I hoped you would say." I smiled back and kissed him eagerly.

He rolled us over so he could be on top. I didn't really mind, besides, it's always better when he's in control. He kissed me more eagerly and I felt as if my world exploded in that one little kiss.

"Dimitri…" I moaned as he moved to kiss my jaw. "Now?" I asked unsure. Is it really necessary to have sex right now on our couch?

He pulled away and nodded. "We won't have time if the kids come later to come back down." he said huskily. I smiled. He went back to kissing. His hands found the bottom of my shirt and started pulling it up. He tossed it on the ground underneath us and pulled away to look in my eyes.

I rolled them and tossed his shirt off to the same spot where mines is. We took of each other's pants. We were left in nothing but our underwear and everything was turning very hot.

He reached behind me and undid the clasp of my bra and dropped it right under us. He took of my panties as he traced my hip bone with his finger and tossed it down. He kissed his way from my lips, down my throat where he sucked and nipped a little, then to my collar bone where he planted light kisses and found his way over my peaking left breast. He took it into his mouth. I moaned as he rolled his tongue over my nipple and his other hand reached out to toy with my neglected right side and thumbed it and rolled it. Waves of euphoria washed over me and he made new ones as he switched sides.

After he finished, he kissed his way down to my center where he kissed and sucked. I moaned loudly and he made his way back to me. I pulled him down to me and I still tasted myself in his mouth.

"My turn." I teased when I pulled away. He groaned as I let my hand traveled to the edge of his boxers. One finger lifted the elastic band down and made its way to tease his little friend. He grunted. I smiled. My whole hand made its way into his member and started to stroke and massage it.

"Roza,…" he groaned. "I need you…" he said. I pulled my hand away and tossed the remaining of his clothes off and wrapped my legs around him.

He entered me and pounded swiftly. "Dimitri, Dimitri….oh!" I moaned repeatedly as he thrusted deep and hard into me.

"Roza, oh, roza." he said and pounded in me.

After a while, I felt myself tighten around him and released and saw nothing but stars. He flipped his over so I laid on top of him.

"I love you, Roza," he murmured softly. "I always will."

"I love you too my love." I said as we closed our eyes for a peaceful nap.

So what did you all think? Too much? Too little? Review!

Love,
