Chapter 11.

I woke up in the morning, wrapped up in Dimitris embrace. When I looked towards him he was awake and staring at me in awe.

"Morning comrade" I said, tightening my arms around his waist. He chuckled.

"Good morning Roza" he said, then he kissed me passionately. I was almost tempted to push him away, but the instant his lips touched mine, they melted, and I couldnt resist kissing him back.

It wasnt that I regretted last night. Hell... It was perfect, and a long time coming. But I hadnt wanted to rush into anything. I was still scared that he would still hurt me. As silly as that sounds. I know that he loves me and our baby, I couldnt help it though.

When we finally pulled away he smiled. I smiled too. "I love you Roza. So so much" he said, as he hugged me hard.

"Dimitri. Cant breath" I said, as he released his hold of me. "Im sorry. I just love you. I want to be near you, all the time." he said, and I laughed. "Me too" I reluctantly agreed. He kissed me again then groaned. "God Rose." He said as he leaned over me, as I lay down. "Do you have any idea of the effect that you have on me." he said, and if he meant the sudden bulge in his pants, that was now pressing against my thigh, then I certainly did know what he was on about. I laughed and kissed him fiercely, causing him to moan my name. I jumped up of the bed.

"Im going to jump into the shower" I told him, I caught glimpse of his face and laughed again, as I went into the bathroom. "You dont play fair" he whined. "I never said I did comrade" then I closed the door and stripped the underwear that I had on.

I was standing under the warm spray of water, when I suddenly felt two arms wrap around me. "Your a tease, Roza" he playfully complained. "Are you complaining?" I asked. He chuckled and shook his head. "Definately not" he said. "I will take you anyway I can get you." he said. "Hmm. You can take me anyway you want" I said, and we both heard the double meaning of my words. He kissed me again, his mouth moving fast and hard against my lips, then my neck, then my chest. He pushed me up against the shower wall, and we lost control.

We emerged from our extra long shower an hour later. Feeling very well taken care of.

I dried and straightened my hair, then got dressed in a pair of jeans and a plain purple . We was moving to court today, so I didnt really feel like dressing up. I put on my trainners then packed everything else away.

My phone started to buzz so I walked over to the dresser and picked it up. It was a text from Lissa.

"Hey Rose. Meet me, christian and adrian in albertas office in ten, okay

Love ya, Liss x"

I wondered what the hell that was all about. I told Dimitri of our plans, and together we walked to Alberts office. When we entered they were all there waiting for us, along with Kirova.

"Whats going on guys?" I asked, looking around the faces. "Oh my god" I said, "Is it tasha. Did she do something? Did she-" I was cut off.

"Relax Rose. Its nothing like that." Lissa said, and suddenly I could feel her exitement through the bond. "Weve been talking, me, christian and adrian, that is. And Headmistress Kirova and guardian Petrov of course. Theyve given us all jobs Rose. If we would like to stay here insted of moving to court. Adrian and I are going to be teaching spirit. Christian is going to be teaching moroi how to use their magic for self-defense, and you and Dimitri will be teaching combat classes. That is, if you want to" she said. I couldnt believe it, I was shocked into silence. "Wow. I dont know what to say." I said. "Oh my god. That is a first" teased Christian. Everybody laughed. Even kirova had a smile on her face, which shocked the hell out of me.

"Well Rose. What do you say?" Lissa asked. I turned to Dimitri who had a huge grin on his face, so I guess that I didnt need to ask him how he felt about all this. I turned back to Lissa, to see her waiting nervously fot my reply.

"That would be terrific Liss." I told her honestly. "I cant... cant believe that you guys would do this for me" I told them. I hugged Lissa hard. "We love you Rose. And this is going to be great. The baby can even go to the academy. And you and Dimitri will be here to raise her." she said, exitedly I nodded in agreement. "Its all I could ever ask for" I told them.

Soon afterwards we were all sitting in the cafeteria. I was so happy I could fly. For once, right now, I had everything that I could ever ask for, and more. Dimitri seemed happy to. We still had along way to go, to heal the rift in our relationship, but at least things seemed to be going right for once.

"Rose" Lissa called me to attention. "You do remember that you have to go and see Dr Olendzki today dont you. For your ultrasound" she reminded me. Oh crap! "Shit, I totally forgot. Thanks for reminding me" I told her. She smiled. "Thats what I thought, I wondered why you hadnt mentioned it before now. What are you like" she asked, teasingly. "Lost without my best friend" I said, with a grin, as I bit into my chocolate eclair.

"You wanna come with me liss, comrade?" I asked. Lissa looked sad. "I cant Rose. Im so sorry. I have a load of paperwork to fill in. About our residence and employment here at the academy, plus I have to phone the queen, to let her know that there has been a change in our plans" she said, sighing. She was still scared of the queen. Dont worry Lissa, shes a bitch, we all know that" I said, not giving a shit about who heard me saying so. She laughed.

"What about you?" I asked, as I turned my head around, to face Dimitri. He smiled openly at me. "I would love to Rose" he said, as he took my hand and stood up, away from the table.

"I'll see you guys later then" I called to them over my shoulder.

Dimitri and I walked to the clinic together. I watched him from the corner of my eye, the carefree walk, the happy loving smile on his face and in his eyes as he looked at me. I knew he would be a great father to our daughter, but so completely under her thumb. She would have him wrapped around her little fingers, and I could hardly wait to see that.
