When we were ready we walked down stairs. Tia walked right past Wesley without a second thought, and I noticed how she got her clothes form the guest room. What is going on between those two they are always so close.
A very distraught Wesley came walking up to me. " Rose do you know what's wrong with Tia. She hasn't even touched me since the night Brett brought her back. At first I thought it was nothing then she started sleeping on the pull out bed in the wall and now she is in one of the guest rooms." he looked on the verge of tears. Just seeing her like this hurts him.
I patted his back and gave him a reassuring hug. My mind raced back to the conversation Tia and I had while we were upstairs.
Flash back L
"Rose I lost the baby when I died. I cant tell Wesley it would brake his heart I know how much he wanted another baby."
When she said this tears were creeping down her face. I went over and comforted my only cousin that I knew of.
I got pulled back into the present and looked over at Tia who looked miserable. She was pale and it looked like she might get sick. She saw my look and gave me a sad smile.
I looked back at Wesley and he said. " I don't think she loves me anymore" he was choking on a sob and I took a real close look at him he was really pale and that is saying something since he's a moroi. Emil walked past us and went to sit with Tia. He looked at his sister with so much concern you'd think she'd die then and there.
Tia stifled a life, and in my head added do I really look that bad.? I nodded, and she frowned. Rose do you think I should tell him? I nodded again. fine I'll tell him later after our fun. Wesley looked at me and saw my expression. " you know don't you?" I again nodded.
He looked hopeful until I said " I swore to her I wont tell you. Wes I'm sorry but I cant. She has to be the one to do it." he nodded and walked away. I forgot everyone was here until Ash walked up to me. " Rose can you tell me I swear I wont tell him." I looked at Tia he nodded and used her mind to invite me into Ash Lynn's. Ash am I in your head.
Oh my gosh yeah Rose so are you going to tell me why my sister and her husband look like hell?
Well you see Tia lost the baby and she doesn't want to tell Wesley it hurts her so much I think it's putting her into a depression.
Oh I see why she wont tell him he really wanted another baby. Hoping this one would look more like Tia and less like him.
And with that we nodded at each other and walked away to join the others just as Tia called out " who will go first?"
Not surprising Adrian had drink in hand. What was surprising was so did Dimitri. Who by the way said he'd go first. Dimitri stood up and grabbed Tia's I pod and plugged it into the dock. When the song started I immediately knew what it was dancing with tears in my eyes by Kesha and he was singing to me.
The song started off
here we go welcome to my funereal.
Without you I don't even have a pulse. All alone it's dark and cold with every move I die.
Here I go this is my confessional a lost cause nobody can save my soul. I'm so delusional with every move I die.
I have destroyed our love it's gone. Payback is sick it's all my fault.
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes just fighting to get through the night. I'm losing it. With every move I die.
I'm faded I'm broken inside. I've wasted the love of my life I'm losing it with every move I die.
When did I become such a hypocrite? Double life lies that you caught me in. trust me I'm paying for it with every move I die.
On the floor I'm just a zombie. Who I am is not who I wannabe. I'm such a tragedy with every move I die.
I have destroyed our love it's gone. Payback is sick it's all my fault.
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes just fighting to get through the night. I'm losing it. With every move I die.
I'm faded I'm broken inside. I've wasted the love of my life I'm losing it with every move I die.
This is it and now you really gone this time. Never once thought it be in pieces left behind.
I'm dancing with tears in my eyes just fighting to get through the night. I'm losing it. With every move I die.
I'm faded I'm broken inside. I've wasted the love of my life I'm losing it with every move I die.
When he was done Tia stood up and said "so who next?" I stood up and walked over to her took the I pod and scrolled until I found the song I was looking for . Grenade by Bruno Mars.
Easy come, easy goThat's just how you live, ohTake, take, take it all,But you never giveShould of known you was trouble from the first kiss, Had your eyes wide open -Why were they open?Gave you all I hadAnd you tossed it in the trashYou tossed it in the trash, you didTo give me all your love is all I ever asked, Cause what you don't understand isI'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah) Oh, ohI would go through all this pain, Take a bullet straight through my brain,Yes, I would die for ya baby ; But you won't do the sameNo, no, no, noBlack, black, black and blue beat me till I'm numb Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're fromMad woman, bad woman,That's just what you are, yeah,You'll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my carGave you all I had
The entire time I sang my eyes were glued to Dimitri. When I was done Dimitri was just sitting there glaring at me. Next was Brett and Cam thinking to lighten the mood Tia picked out the song. As soon as it started I prayed my kids didn't know this song. She must have been planning this because when she was picking it she looked between me and Dimitri.
Whoa oh whoa ohWhoa oh whoa ohVengaboys are back in townWhoa oh whoa ohWhoa oh whoa ohWhoa oh whoa ohWhoa oh whoa ohIf you're alone and you need a friendSomeone to make you forget your problemsJust come along babyTake my handI'll be your lover tonight[Pre-chorus:]Whoa oh whoa ohThis is what I wanna doWhoa oh whoa ohLet's have some funWhoa oh whoa ohOne on one just me and youWhoa oh whoa oh[Chorus:]Boom boom boom boomI want you in my roomLet's spend the night togetherFrom now until foreverBoom boom boom boomI wanna double boomLet's spend the night togetherTogether in my roomWhoa oh whoa ohEverybody get on downWhoa oh whoa ohVengaboys are back in town[Pre-chorus][Chorus x3]Woooo!Woooo woooo!Woooo!Woooo woooo!Woooo!Woooo woooo!Woooo!Woooo woooo!Whoa oh whoa ohWoooo woooo!Whoa oh whoa ohWoooo woooo!Whoa oh whoa ohWoooo woooo!Whoa oh whoa oh[Chorus x2]
Everyone was clapping. Cam sang most of the song and Brett just sand the chorus and the pre chorus they sang together. When they walked off to their seats Tia stood up and decided she would sing your guardian angel by The red jumpsuit apparatus
When I see your smileTears run down my face I can't replaceAnd now that I'm strong I have figured outHow this world turns cold and it breaks through my soulAnd I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the oneI will never let you fall(let you fall)I'll stand up with you foreverI'll be there for you through it all(though it all)Even if saving you sends me to heavenIt's okay. It's okay.

Wesley had tears streaming down his face and Tia looked dizzy. She was making a decision that might ruin her marriage. Well that's what she thinks I doubt it will.
" I have an announcement to make." everyone immediately went silent. " I haven't been myself lately and most of you can probably see that." she took a deep breath to steady herself while the tears flooded down her face. " what has been on my mind ever since Brett brought me back and my doctor confirmed it. I lost our baby Wesley." she said then she dropped to the floor and cried. Wesley had tears streaming down his face. Tia stood up with her guardian mask fully in place and she walked out of the room.
I went to the one place I thought she would be which was the gym because were damphirs when ticked we work out. Well at least Tia and I do, but no she wasn't there. Flower was gone to. That was odd Tia must be upstairs or in her room. I soon checked both but no she wasn't there. Then something clicked in my mind. Where did she go when she was upset, and what did she have in her backyard? The willow tree! Yes that's it she has to be there. I walked up the stairs. Wesley was still sitting in the same position obviously in shock. I looked at Ash Lynn and tried to do what Tia does with the whole telepathy.
Ash slap him. I thought as loud as I could. Okay Rose no need to yell! Then she stood up walked over to Wesley and slapped him across the face. At first he looked confused and then he looked at the time to see it had been almost half an hour after Tia had told him. I walked out of the room and into the back yard. I was surprised at what I saw Tia, Brett and Cam were all sitting under the willow tree. Tia was reading a book and then I remembered when Derek had us in his grasp. It was the same book Tia read with Wesley under the willow when they were like fifteen and love sick teenagers.
Cam looked tired and fell asleep with her head on Tia's shoulder. Brett surprisingly was wide awake and seemed almost as into the book as Tia was. The sun was setting and we had to get inside flower who was lying in the grass walked up and nudged Tia's knee. Brett stood up and held the book in his hands while Tia picked up Cam and laid her down on flower. Cam grasped flowers fur and flower pranced up to the house.
Brett was swept up into Tia's arms and he said " auntie T I'm sorry about you loosing my little cousin. He would've been a great addition to the family" I was dumbstruck Brett was hardly ever sad and he never even wanted his sister! Why would he have wanted Tia to have a child. " Brett baby can I tell you something." he nodded. " I can talk to my baby through my sleep. Maybe tonight I'll dream walk with you so you can meet him. Well you, Cam and your mommy of course." well she knew I was there.
Tia looked calmer and I noticed there were more flowers by the pond and the pond looked like it grew a bit. And there was an Azalea bush right under the willow. I walked back inside and sat by Ash she looked worried until Tia came in holding Brett. Wesley was at her side in seconds accept she just went and sat down she looked sad again. Wesley stood up and grabbed Tia's I pod. The song was one that made Tia look up and cry. It was hero by Enrique Iglesias.
I wasn't listening to it I was staring at Dimitri who was watching me. I stood up and walked over to the pond. I just sat there and looked at the water. I heard footsteps behind me and was in guardian mode. I turned around with stake in hand. Accept he grabbed it before it hit him, and I was looking into the warm chocolate eyes of Dimitri Belikov. " and I would so the same. For you and our kids" Cam was standing right behind him. She looked mad " so you are our father who left my Mommy when she needed you most. She could've died we could've died on countless occasions and would you have even cared. I think not!" " young lady I taught you never to yell at your elders." I said sternly. She walked up to him and lifted her arms. He bent down and picked her up. This was her way of testing people. If they pick her up immediately and don't let her down until she wants down they are ok with her. If they hesitate or put her down to soon she wont get along with them.
Adrian came running up and smiled. Sydney was right behind him and they were holding hands. Yeah they are finally together. I looked back at Dimitri and smiled. He leaned in and gave me a kiss. Cam looked so happy Tia and Brett were running and they stopped when they were right next to us. Tia looked back and felt something was wrong. Cam was now between Dimitri and I. she was looking at Tia like she felt it to. Then I saw it a ball of flames was coming straight for us. Out of nowhere a wall of ice surrounded all of us. Adrian and Sydney were looking at Tia who was controlling it. As soon as the ball of fire hit she let out a squeak. Then Wesley with Les saw what was happening and he looked pissed because the fire was right where Tia's chest was.
Then Tasha froze it looked like she couldn't move. She started shaking, and looked at the fire that was cutting through the ice. " everyone get down." we quickly obliged as more water and ice joined up with the wall. Tia knelt down still controlling it. Tasha looked worried. " Tia I'm so sorry I have no idea what happened. I remember walking outside and nothing." Tia looked at her and nodded. " Tasha your actions were not your own. I can tell and I'm pretty sure Cam and Brett can to." they nodded with that distraction the rest of the fire hit Tia in the stomach causing her to scream.
She was shaking and crying. Lissa who was frozen by the door came up to Tia and started healing but it wouldn't go away. Wesley and Adrian tried too but it didn't work. Tia sat up and on this bracelet was now a fire charm and her body was glowing.
" ha you guys really think I would go down without a fight?" she was laughing at a time like this. Something seemed to click in Wesley's head and he started laughing to. I then heard Tia
I have to be hit with living fire so I can control it.
" oh my gosh Tia that's amazing." as soon as the words were out people were staring at us and Tia looked like she was in a good mood. Brett made a funny symbol with his hands and a ball of fire appeared on his hand. " if you even think to burn someone without our permission I will make you sit with uncle Adrian as he reads to you a western novel." Brett gulped and the fire went away.
Dimitri was staring at me. " Brett loves William Shakespeare and Cam loves Western novels. Brett thinks they are boring and he wants to burn them all." we were interrupted by Brett saying " and now I can." Tia gave him a stern look that she hardly ever uses. " you will not mister your sister and father both love westerns and just because it's not your taste does not mean you can burn them." he looked sad and he said. " I don't even know my father he doesn't love me." Dimitri looked grief stricken. " Brett Dimitri is your father and he loves you and Cam very much I just never told him." Brett looked happy and I realized Dimitri was still holding Cam and she was smiling.
This couldn't seem to get better.
