Okay, here's chapter 4. I hope you like it, a lot of you have asked about Anna. I think this would be set for after Shadow Kiss, I'm sorry I did not say that earlier. Most of the time I don't even know, I just get the ideas. Kind of slow.

Please enjoy.

Chapter 4

"That's not my story to tell," Olena told Dimitri.

"Olena, just tell him," Lissa spoke up from the side of the room, looking warn out. "He has the right to know what happened. The reason that Rose and I have not talked in so long."

"Okay," Olena said in a defeated tone. "I did not want to be the one to tell you this. Rose is suppose to tell you. That is her child. . . and yours. She came to Baia in search of you, she thought you might have gone home. She was lost, Lissa called to tell you that you could have children with Rose because you had already fathered a child with her. She stayed with us, and your child grew and developed faster then normal and was born two months earlier then a normal child. She is almost three years old."

"Oh my god," Dimitri felt as if he had been punched in the gut. Now the little girl was looking up at him questioningly.

Anna cocked her head to the side. "Are you my Daddy?" she asked, pointing to her eyes, the same color as Dimtri's.

"Yes, I am," he told her, smiling. She hugged him, he squeezed her tiny form. He could not believe it, he could have a family with the woman of his dreams.

"Mommy, we found Daddy for you," she turned to look at the bed. "Mommy?"

Anna looked back at Dimitri. "What's wrong with Mommy?"

"Don't worry about what happened. Mommy is going to be okay," Dimitri told Anna, she buried her face in his chest crying lightly. Dimitri did not give himself time to step into the father role for her, he just found that that was the easiest thing for him to do.

"Roza, I am so sorry," Dimitri grabbed a hold of Rose's hand. "Now I know why Tasha tried so hard to compel me. She knew. She knew all along and never told me."

"Mommy, can we be a family now?" Anna asked Rose, only getting the air compressor in response. "Mommy, please. I've been good, Grandma Olena is trying to teach me to speak both Russian and engish."

"Lissa, can you do anything?" Olena asked, stepping over to Lissa. She offered to take Andre from her. Lissa set her three month old into Olena's arms, trusting the woman with her baby.

"Who are you?" Anna asked Lissa from Dimitri's arms, giving her a death glare, to much like Rose's. "I have never seen you before. Don't touch my mommy."

Lissa, ignoring the responses form the little child, walked up to Rose's bed. Lissa bending down and moving the hair out of Rose's eyes, looked down as if staring her in the eyes. Her blond hair hiding Rose's face from the rest of the room.

"Rosemarie Hathaway, I swear you better wake up or I will kill you," Lissa said, fighting. She was growing weak, her power wearing thin, she had not slept since Dimitri called. She had known for a long time that things were not right with Rose.

"Babe, you need to stop, your not strong enough," Christian said, wrapping his arm around Lissa's waist. "Please. Her mind can't handle the darkness."

Lissa nodded and let Christian pick her up and lie her back down on the chair. She was asleep almost instantly. He walked back over to set a blanket over Lissa's still form.

A few minutes later a doctor walked in. "It's seven, visiting hours are over. You all need to leave."

"I am not leaving my wife," Dimitri spoke up, giving the doctor a defiant look.

"And I am not leaving my Mommy and Daddy," Anna said, tightening her hold on Dimitri. "Daddy, I can use composition on her."

"Anna, no that is not good," Dimitri scolded her. "You don't do that."

"Okay, but everyone else needs to leave," she gave the other four people in the room stern looks. "Please don't tell me that little man is her baby too." he said indicating Andre, sleeping soundly in the car seat now..

"No, that's my son," Christian said, walking up to the doctor. "and the person sleeping in the chair is the Moroi Queen, seeing as you are a moroi I would advise you not to tell us what to do. We will leave when we are ready to go."

"I-I'm sorry, sir," the doctor gave a small nod and walked out of the room.

"Olena, do you and Paul have a place to go?" Christian asked Dimitri's mother.

"Uh, no," She told Christian. "We thought the hospital would let us stay here. That's what they do in Russia."

"Not here," he replied. "You can come home and stay with us on court. You guys will be safe there."

"Thank you," Olena said, stepping over and giving Christian a hug. Christian just patted her back.

"No problem," he told her, smiling. "Now can you please take Andre in his car seat so I can get Lissa?"

"Of course, he is so cute," Paul sat up and looked at his grandmother.

"Are we ready to get out of here?" he asked. "I love Aunt Rose, but this is boring."

Olena laughed, and said. "You could have stayed home."

"and miss the chance to see Uncle Dimka?" Paul laughed and turned to look at dimitri. He walked over and gave him a hug. "No way, I miss him too much when he's gone."

"Paul, you be good, use your P's and Q's with Lissa and Christian," Dimitri told him, giving him a nookie.

"Okay, okay, I'll be good," he said, pulling out of Dimitri's arms, laughing as he almost fell over his feet.

After they said their goodbyes, everyone left the small room. Dimitri and Anna were the only ones to stay there. Dimitri told Anna to go to sleep, but she would not get off his lap. After about an hour she was sleeping again. Dimitri stood and walked over to the other side of the bed and set her next to Rose, on the side that there were no wires or anything. He pulled the cover over Anna, and kissed her on the forehead.

Some time later a doctor walked in, giving the bed situation a bad look. But started doing some tests on Rose.

"Her brain waves are doing much better," he stated, opening Rose's eye and shining a light into her eye. Her eye dilated. "That's a really good sign."

"Can we see if she will wake up?" He asked, his hopes getting high. He barley got that out when Rose started choking on the tube in her throat.

"Sir, I need you to take the girl and step out of the room," the doctor said.

Dimitri did not hesitate to get Anna off the bed and walk out of the room. Listening to Rose struggle to breath. Standing out in the hall, Janine walked down to meet him. She looked behind him, giving a questioning look.

"The doctor came in to see how she was doing and she started to choke," he told her in a rushed voice. "I don't know what's going on."

"Did Lissa show up?" she asked, wrapping her arms around herself tightly. "Why is Anna here?"

"Yes, Lissa was here and just went home about two hours ago," He told her, not missing a beat. He pulled off his duster and offered it to her, she looked cold. She took it, but it fit her like it fit Roza, about a foot to long. "My mother showed up with her, and I asked her who's child she was. Lissa yelled at her and told her to tell me."

They walked down the hallway, both too calm. They knew that either Rose was going to survive or she would not. They both loved her, but nature would take it's course. Dimtir had a good feeling settle in his heart.

Anna woke up and looked at him. "I'm hungry."

She wiggled out of his arms, to walk on her own feet. She was tall for her age, almost reaching Dimitri's hips. She pulled his hand into her's, and smiled up at him.

"Hi, Grandma Janie," she looked up and waved at Janine.

"Hi, sweetie, what are you hungry for?"

"That one place that you too Grandma Olena to last time we were here?" She asked perking up, not knowing how to pronounce the name.

"McDonald's?" Janine asked, smiling at the little girl. "You have to ask your father first."

"Daddy, can I please go with Grandma?"
