We left the room and returned to the den where we can have this conversation. Dimitri put her on speaker phone and asked me to be quiet the whole time. "We do not know where she will be but I don't want her to know where you and the kids are. I don't know what she would do if she found out. Please do this for me. She knows I'm here in Baia, so I don't want her to come here to find you." I nodded at him and we hear her on the phone. "Hello."
"Hello Tasha, it is Dimitri. I just want to let you know that I cannot come back to you. I don't love you, nor do I want to spend my life with you. As for your threat of killing Rose, I'm not with Rose anymore so you should leave her alone. Since we had our affair, Roza has left me to be with another and I'm not coming back. You hurt Roza and I a lot and now we are both lost. Please, let me leave in peace."
"Dimitri, but I'm pregnant. I know you want to be a father, aren't you excited about being a father?"
"Yes, I want to be a father very badly, but I don't want to be the father to your child. I know what you're probably thinking, but I want nothing to do with you anymore. I left for a reason and I will not have you follow me. My family wants nothing to do with me anymore and neither do Lissa and Christian. I love them as well, but I am putting myself first. Please do not follow me or you will regret it. Have a nice life Tasha."
"Dimitri, you cannot do this to me. I love you. I'm carrying your child. I want us to work on our relationship." Tasha cried.
"Goodbye and have a nice life. Do not call me or see me ever again."
Dimitri hung up and came over to me and gave me a hug. I'm sorry you had to witness that baby; I can't stand to see you hurting anymore. Let's call your friends and then we'll go back to the kids. Dimitri dialed Liss's number.
"Lissa, it's Dimitri. I have some great news, or we have some great news."
"Dimitri, what news do you have that you had to call so early in the morning?"
"Liss, it's me Rose and you're a new aunt to Benjamin Dimitri Belikov and Vasailya Rose Belikov."
"Oh my god Rose, congratulations. I guess you two are back together, but I have some bad news. Tasha has been a little irate lately and is threatening Rose's life. The Queen has also been acting weird too, but I don't know what's happening. I found out from Adrian that Tasha's pregnant and the Queen has been playing with your relationship. Apparently losing one of the best guardians was a huge loss so the Queen is set on bringing Dimitri back. Tasha and the Queen seem to be doing everything in their power to get Dimitri back. It was the Queen and Tasha plan all along. They planned on splitting us up so that Tasha can end up with Dimitri and Adrian with me. They did not want to hurt Christian so that's why they planned it so that Rose went with him to California. I think this was Tasha's idea. Dimitri did you know that Tasha knows your favorite drink? Yea the bar you went to is the bar that she owns. No one ever drinks Russian Vodka, so she drugged you and had her way with you. She told you that you both had sex but you really didn't. Those other times in which you thought you had sex, it's not true either. See everytime you went out and had drinks, you were so drunk that you pasted out. She's been secretly seeing Adrian and the child is his. The Queen wanted Adrian with another Moroi so he figured, he will help you both out and date her, hoping to free you both from her. What she doesn't know is that every time they were together, he used compulsion on her to make it think it was Dimitri. The Queen and Tasha don't know this because Adrian's been keeping to himself. I think he's falling for her, but Dimitri I want to let you know that the child she's carrying is not yours. You never slept with her. You only remember you did because Adrian asked me to use compulsion on you to make you think that. I'm sorry for keeping this from you and please don't tell Christian and Adrian I told you. I love you both, please stay safe. I think you need to go into hiding now. Dimitri, make sure you tell Abe and have him tell the Queen you quit your job and decided to leave. You need to make it look real. Rose, I know no one recognizes you but please do not make it known. You have to change your names, appearances and make sure no one knows who you used to be. Christian and I will visit as soon as we're able to. We love you. Bye."
"Bye Liss, we love you too and stay safe." We hung up the phone and he came over to hold me.
"I'm sorry Dimitri, I'm sorry they put you through that. I'm glad Liss did that to you though, that means you never cheated on me and I'm happy about that," with that I kissed him and we went back to the baby's room to talk to our mothers and tell them of the situation.
We called Abe and the other guardians in, explained the whole situation and we all sat there trying to come up with a plan. I was already disguised so I'll just keep up my look. Dimitri on the other hand, would need some more work. There's nothing we can really do to change his appearance. Abe decided to call the Queen to tell her that Dimitri quit his position as his guardian and told him he was leaving for Italy to visit some family there. The Queen believed him. Our next step is to change Dimitri's appearance. We decided to cut his luscious hair, to a short crew cut. Give him blond highlights, change his style of clothing. No more jeans and ready for fights. He has to act more like a Moroi and has been given guardians. He also took my Dad's last name. He's now known as Benjamin Dimitri Mazur. He picked Benjamin because that was our son's name. He didn't want to lose his name so we made it his middle name. We were told to keep our distance from the Belikovs. They can only come over so often to visit because of safety issues and Dimitri and I received full make-overs. We still trained, but now we didn't train as often. Dimitri added a little weight so now he looked more different than before.
We both lived with my parents with our kids. Abe got Dimitri a normal job at a bank – financing and investing. He's really good at it considering he graduated with a finance degree previously. I stayed home with the kids. My dad said that money was not a problem because he will always support me. My parents adored the children and just couldn't stand to stay away from them. We did receive a visit from Tasha once, but Dimitri and I stayed away with the kids. She didn't suspect us at all. We stayed in our wing of the house and decided that we needed a more secure area. The Belikovs have been following the rules, keeping their distance, only visiting the Mazurs like visiting neighbors. My dad said the house was too small and decided to build us a new home. While it was being built, Dimitri and I decided to visit Lissa and Christian in California. We knew Tasha was at court. Lissa had declined the Queens offer and moved in the Christian. They are pregnant now and are expecting twins. Tasha had a baby boy with Adrian's green eyes. Of course, she thought it was weird until Adrian told her that the baby was his. They got a paternity test to prove it and she was pissed. Adrian showed up in my dream to tell me about all the stuff. I really miss everyone.
The Queen wasn't too happy about finding out that the baby was Adrian's either. She has banned Tasha from the Royal Court and is living in Minnesota again. The child stayed with Adrian because she didn't want a reminder of her and Adrian. She was so sure the baby was Dimitri's. Adrian told me he eventually told her that she never had anything with Dimitri and it was all compulsion. Tasha wasn't too happy about that but decided to just leave and try to live her life. She told him that she was sorry about what she did to both Dimitri and I and hopefully one day we can forgive her. Of course, I never will. I'm sure she's still out to get us.
I know the Queen is still out to get us, so we still used our fake names. Mines is Kitya Roza Mazur and Dimitri's is Benjamin DImitri Mazur. We headed out to meet our friends with our children, Benjamin Dimitri Mazur and Vasailya Rose Mazur. Dimitri is sad that we didn't take his last name. It's all for the better and to keep us safe. Of course my parents were ecstatic because we took my dad's last name. We finally arrive at Lissa and Christians and were bombarded with kisses and hugs.
(In California)
We all settled in with our guardians and Lissa and Christian are so excited to see the kids. They looked at them and smiled. "Rose, your baby girl looks just like you and your son looks exactly like Dimitri. It's so weird seeing mini-you. I hope our kids look like us too."
"Yeah, we were surprised as well, but you know, we're both very happy. By the way, please call me Kitya now. We cannot be careful enough. Please make sure you call Dimitri, Benjamin or Ben and by the way, our last name is now Mazur." As I said that both their eyes bugged out.
"Ok, we will do that. We want to make sure your family is safe. As we can see with the number of guardians you both have, it looks pretty safe."
"Yeah, Abe refuses to let us go anywhere without Guardians. I would have to admit, 8 guardians for us four is a lot too, but I guess it's for our protection as well as our children. We can never be too careful though." Everyone nodded.
