Still in Rose's point of view, I hope you enjoy!

It has been five years from when I last saw my former mentor and lover. It hurts to even think his name, and to think that he ran off with Tasha Ozera! I was still able to graduate while pregnant. I have always had Tia to help me through everything. Her and Wesley knew everything that happened.

Whenever Lissa and Christian went to visit Tasha Tia had asked them if I could help her or just have a little cousin time with them. Wesley's father before he died left everything to him so Wesley had this cute house in Germany where Tia loved going. So whenever Lissa and Christian left we went there with Ash Lynn and Emil.

Wesley's moroi friend Darren was always there with us. He had a permanent room on the second floor. Tia and Wesley's room was under ground and my room was on the first floor. There were several other rooms but these were specifically ours and no one else's. Of course Ash Lynn and Emil had there own rooms on the second floor with Darren.

Ugh that place was home and the place next door to them was Lissa's house. So we weren't that far apart. That's where we are now in Germany with family and friends. It's summer and I plan on playing outside with my kids. I was walking down the stairs when I heard Tia on the phone " what Liss no. Well fine we have your house prepared see you in in a little while. No Lissa it's fine of course everything is alright it's just a little stress full to be called at last minute but I swear I have everything ready."

"Hey Tia is Cameryn down here with you? I haven't seen her around" I was carrying a sleeping Brett in my arms. He woke up when I said Tia; jumped out of my arms and ran down the rest of the stairs. "Auntie T" he yelled jumping into her arms. Good thing Wesley was holding Leslie in his arms. Other wise Tia would have dropped her. (p.s Cam, and Brett are Rose's kids and they are twins. Leslie you probably guessed is Wesley and Tia's daughter and she is almost 1 and a half)

" well hello Brett have you seen Cam?" Tia asked Brett but he shook his head. " well my little army commander will you go fined you sister for me and mommy" Tia always knew how to get him to do stuff for her while when I ask him to clean his room he looks at me funny. Gosh he has my attitude, Dimitri's control though, but he has Dimitri's eyes and facial structure. I love this kid, and Camry looks like me with Dimitri's hair and eyes plus mostly his attitude, but she is my child and has moments where she is like me.

Especially when it comes to getting up in the morning! Tia who had been in my thoughts was laughing so hard you'd think she was insane. " yes they are like you they are loyal and willing to help with anything, and if you need help getting him to clean his room say you'll give him a bowl of ice cream after wards." Man my cousin was a genius! " nope just happy to help." She said while picking up Leslie from Wesley's arms. She cooed to the baby for awhile I went back upstairs to find what was taking Brett so long. Tia heard my thoughts wrapped Les in a blanket before following me upstairs. Wesley followed us but went to the living room instead of outside. Brett as soon as we opened the door came crawling army style up to us. " Mommy, auntie T get down there is a strange man holding Cam." I froze, but Tia turned to me and handed me Les. " get Les and Brett inside I'll get Camry"

I nodded and carried Les inside to Wesley before going to get Brett but he was already running to Lissa's house and at the guy who's back was turned to us with a yelling Cameryn in his arms. " I will never tell you were I live mommy said never to talk to strangers" she was hitting and kicking him with everything she had.

Then the guy said " well if I don't know where you live I cant take you home to your mommy now can I?" he asked, his voice was so familiar it broke my heart but before I could remember who Brett yelled out " hey creeper get your hands off my sister" and threw a rock at him.

The guy turned and as soon as I saw his face I knew who it was. It, it was Dimitri. He reached out and caught the rock before it hit him. That just ticked off Brett who was now running at his full speed.

Tia caught him and told him to settle. He nodded and sat down in place. She calmly walked up to Dimitri who was still holding Cam. " Auntie T" cam yelled out and literally jumped into Tia's arms. Tia caught her mid flight and told her to go sit with Brett. Before Cam did she walked up looked at Dimitri and kicked him in the shin. Cam one Dimitri zero.

" Oww!" He called out grabbing below his knee and jumping up and down. I walked over to Brett and knelt down. Cam who launched herself at Tia did the same thing to me but this time so did Brett. I hugged them both to me and said " Camry what have Auntie T and I told you about going outside alone. Thank God your safe but I don't know I would have done if you weren't."

"Awe mommy don't cry" Cam and Brett said at the same time wiping tears away from both sides of my face. I stood up holding both of my kids and started walking over to Dimitri and Tia who were yelling at each other. Darren ran out with Wesley and little Leslie. Darren came running over to me while Wesley was walking over to Dimitri and Tia. " we heard yelling and Camry scream. Is everything alright?" Darren with concern across his face asked. "yeah just Dimitri's here and picked up Cam without her liking and well you know how she is." smiling he nodded.

" you a**hole" Tia yelled out and punched him in the gut. "ooh auntie T said a bad word" both the twins said at once. Wesley was almost to her when Dimitri raised his hand and slapped her. Oh shit! Good thing Wesley was holding Les or Dimitri would be so dead. That didn't stop Brett he took off running. He passed Wesley who had stopped and looked like he might explode! Brett ran up and kicked Dimirti in the balls. Yup that's my kid.

" You do not disrespect a lady let alone my aunt" Brett was seething and he was usually the calm quite kid who wouldn't want to see anyone hurt, but of course his family was another matter. Tia picked Brett up and said to Dimitri in a voice that was so cold so evil and so unlike her it scared me. " you stay away from her Belikov or so help me you'll be saying you last prayers."

Wesley was there and holding Leslie it looks like Tia took away all his anger. We were hoping this would al blow over but no Tasha had to come out and see what the problem was. " What the hell happened?" Tasha who was now kneeling by Dimitri said. Brett surprisingly answered " he disrespected family on our property so I kicked him were it hurt" he was beaming.

Tia was struggling to hold back a laugh from his expression. Tasha on the other hand looked mad. " you little brat didn't anyone ever teach you not to disrespect your elders hmm?" she looked like she was going to slap my child but I interceded. " Tasha if you so much as lay a hand on my child moroi or not you will be dead!" she looked up at me.

" I should have known he was your son" Tasha said and Tia slapped her across the face. " I can hear thoughts you know!" Tia said. Her anger back, and full fledged. Wesley handed her Leslie who seemed to have a calming affect on her. " ok Wes we are all civilized adults, and we will act that way." Tia said sending a glare over to Tasha and Dimitri. " though I must warn you. These two are Hathaway's and have been being trained since they were three" Dimitri nodded finally standing up. Tasha looked at the baby in my arms. " what about that one?" she asked glaring at Les. " This one is my daughter and I'll kill anyone who dares hurt her along with Brett and Cam."

Tasha gulped obviously being foiled by Tia who was in guardian mode. " now please find Liss and Chris and tell them the tea is on and if you will please join us."

Tia sent me a message through my head.

I want to kill them!

Me two Tia, me two.

She cuddled Leslie against her and started walking away. To the big Willow tree planted next to the pond in the yard. Tia sat in the grass and then we saw it there was a wolf going towards her. Growling until Tia held up her hand we all looked worried. Animals never liked damphirs but there is something different about Tia and I'm starting to go master the powers from being what we are. I wonder if animals like me now? Probably not but then the wolf rubbed its head against Tia's hand and licked Les. Wait this is Tia's dog what was it's name oh yeah flower. I forgot how much she looked like a wolf!

Tia sat over there for awhile with Leslie in her arms and flower laying by her feet. I wonder what she's thinking about. Wesley went over there and picked up Les helping Tia up, and flower following them. They walked towards us and flower came up to me and liked my hand. I started giggling and my kids started petting her.

" come on ya'll lets get inside it's almost dark" Wesley called out. I forgot these guys were moroi of course they were used to the sun. Darren and Wesley even had tans! Flower ran inside with the kids chasing in after her.

Darren and I followed. He was calling Ash Lynn making sure she was alright up stairs. Did I forget to mention they are dating well yeah they kind of fell for each other. Adrian who arrived yesterday was sitting on the couch. " come on little damphir you can sit on my lap." I know he likes me but I just don't feel that way about him. Oh well least I can still say he is like my brother. I did sit on his lap and told him what happened. " oh sounds like we are going to have a very fun day." he said with a smile.

" yup and it's all thanks to the munchkins." we sat there laughing until the doorbell rang Adrian stood me up and then went to answer it. He slammed the door and said " shh were not here." barely above a whisper. Ash came down the stairs and saw us trying to hide. " really guys playing hide and seek without me!" she said chuckling. " and yes I know what's going on so does Tia that's why I'm down here" she opened the door. Let them in and called facing the opposite direction of us " damn you guys were right to hide!" Adrian and I fell over laughing. It gave us away, but it was worth it.

Eddie was standing close to Liss and trying so hard not to laugh. Alberta was standing next to Christian with a smirk on her face. Christian and Liss were laughing along with us not knowing what happened earlier. Dimitri and Tasha were standing there Dimitri with a smirk and Tasha with a scowl. We kept laughing until my kids came running down stairs dressed up and tackled the now standing Adrian. " oh great I just got up to" Adrian cried out between laughs.

The twins stood up. Brett straightened his dress shirt and tie while Cam brushed off her dress and turned to face Lissa. Brett bowed and said " Hello princess auntie Liss" Cam looked at Liss and said " hey" Lissa was shocked but smiled at them. I heard her voice in my head.

Rose Dimitri's their father isn't he? I nodded, and she frowned. " so Rose who did you keep these two away from me for five years ?" before I had a chance to say something Wesley came in holding Leslie who looked like a little princess. " well Liss they've been here with Tia and I. Oh and Rose Tia wants you upstairs to get dressed. After tea we are going out all of us including you guys" he said looking back at Lissa and them.

" well I mustn't keep her waiting then" and with that I ran up the stairs. When I got in Tia was sitting on the bed crying and petting flower but she had a smile on her face. I heard Tia say something in my head.

Rose I'm pregnant again Wesley doesn't know I'm blocking him out until I can tell him myself.

"ok I won't tell" I said as I sat down and gave her a hug. She smiled and hugged back. " now lets get your dress." Man I think she was the only one who I could trust not spoil me but still get me a dress every once in awhile. The one she picked out for me was a light sparkly ice blue. I'm not going to lie it looked rocking with my skin town and hair.

While Tia was getting her dress on I was looking at the mirror and saw all the molnija marks on the back of her neck and starting to go down her back.

" Tia how many strigoi have you killed ?" now she had her sparkly peach colored dress on that matched mine. " umm about twenty five or so why?" she looked at me with a frown at how I wasn't finished getting ready. " well I saw them starting to go down your back." then I put the finishing touches on and Tia looked satisfied.

We went down stairs and Tia being Tia on the last step missed and Wesley had to catch her. Lissa was holding Leslie and cooing. I got sucked into Tia's head.

Oh thank you God for letting Wesley catch me and our child.

Wesley was looking at her strange and then he smiled. " really Tia?" he asked looking like a kid who was in a candy shop. She smiled and with that she started walking to the kitchen. " guys are you going to stand there like retards or are you going to go sit at the table.

I walked in there and was amazed the table was set for all of us. Their table does sit twenty and the porch has multiple tables. We all took the seats that were labeled for us. I sat between Cam and Brett. Brett sat next to Tia, and Cam sat next to Adrian. Across from Brett sat Dimitri and across from Tia sat Tasha. I went looking for Tia to help her since Emil had Leslie Wesley was in here helping Tia who had almost all of dinner cooked.

You know I made the arrangements for dinner so that if Tasha got ticked I could put out the fire.

I started laughing at this. Everyone was looking at me like I was a maniac except for those who knew what Tia was now capable of they looked like they wanted to know what was so funny. "Tia will tell you in all due time, and guys who know I'll tell you what was so funny later. But now I must fetch the tea"

Well, well who has thou speak to in that tone. Art thou not be the fair maiden who serves in our house.

"ok I understand William Tia and no I am not!" I heard laughter. " gosh Rose you'd think you served in my house" she came in with the tea and when I went up to help she shook her head. " you do not know what they drink. I had to go through some very peculiar stuff in their heads to get this and I want it perfect"

And some stuff is down right embarrassing. Tell you in a bit darling.

This time she was laughing at her own joke. When they all had there drink I don't know if it was tea or not . " well I can see how much you guys trust me" Tia said with a frown. Brett grabbed his cup and downed it. Smiling at Tia. Cam did the same. Tia's smile grew bigger " well at least my super duo niece and nephew trust me." Leslie had her bottle in her mouth. " and my little angel." I took a sip and found mine was wine and peach tea.

Rose I knew you needed that

" it's delicious Tia and thank you" Adrian drank some of his and passed it to me so I could try it. It was whiskey, rum and vodka mixed with orange juice and it was good.

While we were in Poland I was a bar tender I had fun and sometimes I might have danced a time or two.

Slowly they all tried their drinks. Lissa was surprised " Tia how do you get these concoctions" I wasn't going to laugh not going to laugh shit I give up! I let out a few giggles. Tia sent me a smile. " well I combine your favorite taste and then I have my taste tester who isn't allowed to hold the baby right now until he's sober taste everything I've made."

"wow Tia you actually let Wesley be drunk I'm amazed" As soon as the words left my lips Wesley was laughing and Tia took on some of his emotions.

" hey I thought you weren't supposed to get drunk" I was worried about her and the baby.

Honey I'm not he is other than that it doesn't affect me.

"Ok as long as it doesn't hurt either of you" everyone was looking at us weird. Tia looked like she was going to fall over laughing, but Wesley sat her down on his lap. " honey I think the best you made was Dimitri's" I turned to face him and he looked out of it.

I didn't have Wesley taste Tasha's cause I kind of added a laxative to it. Dimitri had a lot of liquor in it and I mean a lot, plus I kinda added Russian vodka to it.

I so love my cousin. Tia reluctantly stood up and went to get dinner I went to help. We heard a crash from the kitchen and I ran in. Wesley was in there before me Tia was lying on the ground. A guy grabbed Wesley and I was so shocked I couldn't move. " take your pick Tia who is going to die tonight"

Rose don't you dare move!

"I choose me" Tia said and the. One of the guys walked over to her and was about to snap her neck but before he did he said " this is for my father" and then there was a sickening crack. Tia slumped to the floor. The guy that was holding Wesley hit him on the head and let him go and ran out the door. I kneeled next to my cousin and cried. Brett came in and put his hand on Tia's cheek and looked into her eyes. He pulled a locket off of his neck placed it around hers and said " I give you back what's rightfully yours." Tia's eyes shined with light again and a wave coursed through me. I stood up bringing Tia with me and she had a sleeping Brett in her arms.

He'll be fine he just needs rest.

I didn't know the others were there until I walked into Adrian's arms. We just stayed like that for awhile and let Tia figure out Wesley was going to be. Emil picked Wesley up and put him on the couch. A few hours later he awoke crying. I walked over to him and sat there while he cried.

Tia he needs you please come down stairs.

Of course she came down holding Leslie. " Wes Brett used the locket" Wesley looked so relieved. He just sat there and held her like he was holding on for dear life. Leslie was sitting in Tia's arms looking happy. Then we heard something that we seemed to be waiting forever for. " love" It was Leslie's first word. Tia was looking so elated and Wesley was surprised and rejoicing.

Hopefully this night would end on this note forever but being who we are we just no something bad is going to happen and soon.
