AN: Please review, I love hearing comments and Ideas and will try and use them :D
And to anyone that has reviewed; ILOVEYOU! 3. Just had to get that off my chest ;D
I read it for about the fifth time in a minute. My divorce papers had come through. Mixed emotions churned within me, I was happy that I was free to be with Dimitri yet sad that it seemed like the end of an era.
"So you're a single woman now?" Dimitri asked coming from behind me. I sighed as he put his arms around my hips.
"Apparently so." I said.
"Is that a good thing?" He asked concern in his voice.
"Yes, it's just kinda sad that it's really the end." I explained. He nodded and kissed the top of my head. I walked off to the lounge where the kids were all sat watching TV. I handed Violet the papers and she gave me a sympathetic look. Caleb glanced at them quickly before handing them back.
"So you and Daddy aren't married anymore?" Daisy questioned me after she had looked at the divorce papers.
"No. But that's okay isn't it?" I said. She nodded slowly. I looked at the others and they both nodded as well. I checked my watch for the time quickly.
"You better get over your Dad's now, he'll be wondering where you are." I said. I glanced out the window, it was pouring. "You want me to drive you?" I offered. Adrian's house was a good fifteen minute walk away and I didn't want them getting drenched.
"Please." Violet accepted, probably worried about her hair. I followed them all out to my car. Dimitri kissed me goodbye and I got in the car and started the engine, driving off.
I stayed in the car when the kids got out running to Adrian's front door. I had been inside a few times when he was moving out and I was helping him to move his stuff. I watched as he answered the door and let the kids inside. When he caught sight of me he signalled for me to go in. Not wanting to rude I got out of my car and walked over to him. He kissed my cheek and led me inside. His house was quite a bit smaller than mine but could still easily fit everyone inside it.
"Drink?" He offered me as we walked into the kitchen.
"I'm okay thanks." I declined. We sat at a small table.
"Rose... I know that Violet told you about Olivia. I was going to tell you myself but I never got the chance, I never see you anymore." He said, a hint of pain in his voice. He missed me, and to be honest, I missed him to.
"It's okay; it's none of my business anyway." I stated.
"Of course it is, you're the mother of my children." He corrected me. I smiled.
"How serious is it?" I questioned. He looked thoughtful.
"Casual, I'm not ready for a serious relationship right now; I only just escaped one." He joked and I laughed. I was glad that we were still close, he would always be one of my best friend's, no matter what. As selfish as it seems, I was relieved that he wasn't in a serious relationship yet. That would be even harder on the kids, not to mention my own probable jealousy.
"Unfortunately, I set the bar quite high by marrying you; so it's quite hard to even consider dating most girls." He continued. I blushed stupidly and raised my eyebrows.
"So Olivia's not one that you find it hard to date then?" I teased him.
"You'll have to meet her sometime, she's actually pretty nice. As opposed to my ex-wife, she was a right bitch." He taunted me. I punched him lightly on the arm laughing.
"Right, I'd better go. I'll trust that my kids are in safe hands." I said and stood up. He kissed y cheek and then saw me out the door.
"You're welcome anytime that you want Rose, just so that you know." He told me.
"And you can always come home." I returned. He smiled and kissed my cheek again before I walked out the door and drove home.
I found Dimitri in the library reading one of his western novels. He looked up as I walked in and placed a bookmark in the page.
"Hey." I greeted him.
"Hi." He replied. I walked over to where he was and sat in the armchair next to his.
"Roza, I was wondering, and you can tell me if I'm out-of-order but..." He pondered, trying to work out his words. "If you would ever consider having another child?" He asked. That took me by surprise.
"Well, I never really thought about it." I answered honestly. "Do you want one?" I asked. He nodded.
"It's just that my only biological child is Violet, and I never got the chance to see her grow up. I wouldn't mind if you declined, it's just a thought anyway." He explained. His logic made perfect sense to me; having seen all my kids grow up and treasuring every moment. Another child though? I didn't know if I could handle it, but Dimitri deserved the chance at real fatherhood. I would manage and I'm sure that the kids would be excited. I was decided.
"Okay. We'll try for another child, but I can't promise that it'll work; we're both Dhampirs after all." I concluded. He smiled and kissed me. "And Dimitri? I think we should start trying now." I said. He didn't hesitate and we got to work.
A few hours later we were in the lounge, watching TV together. Well, more concentrating on each other than the TV.
"I don't think that we should tell anyone else until we actually know that I'm pregnant. I don't want to tell them just for them, and us, to be disappointed." I suggested. He nodded in agreement.
"Rose, I want use to have a fresh start. I think that we should do it properly. Like good people would." He teased chuckling.
"How do you mean?" I asked, not following.
"I know that you only just got divorced, but, I want to marry you." He declared. Happiness rushed through every cell in my body. Was he for real? Oh my god.
"Really?" I asked, finding it hard to keep my voice even.
"Yes Roza." He chuckled. He stood up taking me with him. He bent down on one knee and took my hand. Excitement rushed through me and I couldn't wipe the smile from my face. "Rosemarie Hathaway; will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?" He asked. Such simple words had such a deep and powerful meaning, especially when they came from Dimitri. It wasn't even the most romantic proposal that I had ever seen and yet that didn't even matter. I could be with Dimitri forever, that in itself was a blessing. I loved him with all my heart and that was all that mattered.
"Yes Dimitri. I will marry you." I said and hugged him tightly. He swung me around in a circle and kissed me passionately. "I take it we can tell people about this?" I said, awaiting confirmation. But he shook his head.
"Not until you have your ring." He insisted. I sighed with happiness.
"Okay." I said and kissed him again.
