Haha she said "if Dimitri splits up my couple, I'll have to cut the bitch." haha you make my day Guest so I thought I would just point you out haha. Anyways, it's about 330 in the morning were I am and I can't sleep so I'm gonna write. I still don't own the Vampire Academy.

Chapter Nine: RPOV

The first couple of weeks of Mason's life were hell on earth mixed with Heaven for me. During the day, it didn't matter if he was crying or sleeping, he was angelic and amazing and I loved him with all of my heart, however, if I was trying to sleep and he was crying... well it was hell. I had Gregory for help and he was glad to be giving it but that didn't change the fact that we were both woken up if he cried. It was exhausting. I was still on maternity leave so I wasn't guarding but Greg was so I felt bad that he was constantly being woken up.

I didn't really get many days off, away from Mason but that really didn't bother me much. I love being with him at home. However, tonight, Lissa insisted on watching Mason so that me and Greg could go out. Gregory told me that he wanted to take me out on our first official date. We had been out together before but usually with our friends. Tonight was different. Tonight he was taking me out to a fancy dinner and despite my not wanting to leave Mason, I was excited to go out.

Eddie was Mason's favorite uncle. Of course, he couldn't talk yet but I haven't heard him cry when he was with Eddie unless he needed changing or was hungry. Christian was his least favorite and as much as I'm sure that he would hate to admit it, I think it actually kind of hurts Christian's feelings. Little Mason loved Adrian and Lissa too, and I wasn't sure if it was because of their spirit charisma or because they were just that awesome with him. Tonight, however, I was leaving Mason in the care of Lissa and Christian. It was originally just going to be Lissa but she talked me into letting Christian help her out. I still wasn't entirely sure about that but Greg got me out of the house away from the baby.

The restaurant that we are at is beautiful. It's one of those places that you can only get into if you're wearing a suit or a fancy dress. Because of this rule, Greg was wearing a white dress shirt, a black tie, and black dress pants and man did he look good. I'm wearing a red high low dress. It was flowey. The low portion stopped a few inches above my knee and the longer part went about halfway between my knee and my ankle. For shoes, I was wearing silver 3" stilettos. I had my hair in soft, romantic curls that were pinned up. I looked pretty good for a new mom.

We order lobsters to share, despite my protests because of money purposes but he insisted. The dinner was extremely nice and at one point, I ended up calling Lissa to make sure that Mase was okay. I had left her bottle of breast milk and she'd been around watching and learning how to take care of him properly but I was still concerned.

Greg and me were having casual conversation most of the night and about two hours of eating lobster and drinking water, we ordered desert. He insisted on letting me eat the majority of our chocolate cake but he occasionally took a few bites. It was a pretty big piece of cake. After 20 minutes, we finished the cake. TEAM WORK.

We were back to having a casual conversation but no longer eating. Suddenly, during our conversation about certain guardian things going on at court, he stopped talking and looked at me with a smile on his face. I returned his smile without even realizing it. Seeing his smile brought a smile to my own face. Our conversation was long forgotten as we gazed into each others eyes.

"There's another portion of your desert." he smiled at me.

I knew that my eyes held a question in them but I smiled anyway, "Oh yeah? And what would that be."

He smiled widened and he got up from the table. I watched him curiously but when he bent down on one knee and he pulled out a small red velvet colored box, all of my questions were answered and I felt tears come to my eyes before he even said anything.

He grabbed my hands with his as he looked up into my eyes. "Rosemarie Hathaway," It was as if those words triggered a response in everyone because we soon as he said my name, the heads of everyone in the restaurant turned to us, the servers stopped serving, the people stopped eating and even some people who worked in the kitchen came out to watch. "Since the day that I first day that I saw you at that party, I knew that you were the most beautiful woman in the word." I heard people 'awe' distantly. All of my attention was on Gregory. "I was worried that I wouldn't ever see you again but the next day, I saw you with tears running down your cheeks and I knew that I would always feel the need to protect you and love you. You have given me everything that I could ever have asked for in the world. You have given me love to fill the empty void that I had in my heart, you have given me a beautiful son to love and to cherish for all of eternity. As I kneel before you, I ask that you give me one last thing; the permission to call you my wife for the rest of forever. So, Rosemarie Hathaway, will you do my the great pleasure of being my wife?"

I could have cried at the speech that he put on for me, and it appeared as though other people had actually shed tears. I didn't see them of course, my eyes were glued to the man kneeling before me, the man I knew in my heart, mind, and soul was my true love. I once thought that I loved Dimitri, but now I knew that I needed to move on from the past and realize that Gregory Allan was my now and forever.

For a second, I was speechless, overcome by the love I felt for this man, but a second later, I pulled him up to me for a kiss before yelling, "YES! Yes, Gregory Allan I will marry you!" his eyes mirrored the sparkle of tears that I had and he lent in to give me a long and passionate kiss simultaneously sliding the ring onto my wedding ring finger while cheers erupted in the restaurant. Seconds later, our waitress came over with another big piece of chocolate cake with frosting and a cherry on top. Spelled out in chocolate sauce on the plate was the word "Congratulations!" It was so sweet.

We ended up taking the cake home in a fancy to-go box. When we got back to my apartment, Lissa guessed what my answer had been when she saw mine and Gregory's faces. She squealed and ran over to us, wrapping her arms around us both. Later that night, we split the cake into two and it was shared between Lissa, Christian, Gregory and me.

That night, I laid in bed on my slide, facing the baby's crib, with Gregory's arms wrapped about my waist from behind me. I smiled at my sleeping baby boy before smiling down at my ring finger and the new diamond that sat there. My last coherent thought before falling into sleep was, "My life is the greatest that I could have ever asked for."

AN: So what do you think guys? Is Gregory that most amazing guy in the entire world? He is to me haha. The next chapter will be three years later just so you all know and a surprise appearance will be taking place ;) thanks for reading and let me know what you guys think about this chapter! - Sammy
