Hey guys! Here is the next chapter. Ok so i had an idea that i could take this story but jump years to when Nina is in school and make it her Point of view. I will still continue this a bit more than start that if you guys want me to and think you might be interested in it. So let me know if you want me to do Nina's story. Other than that sit back and relax while you read this chapter then please review it. :)

Chapter 12 – Great Friends

Everyone came to meet Nina the night she was born. Well everyone that was in Baia that is. Dimitri took photos of me holding Nina and sent them to all our friends back to court. Mum and Dad couldn't wait until we got home, to see Nina, so Abe fuelled his jet and they're more than likely on their way here right now. I am in such a good mood, the happiest I've ever been, and that's partly because I'm now engaged to Dimitri as well as the fact I now have a child who everyone thought would never would be able to exist. I think Paul was the only one, who wasn't as excited as everyone else, he was mad at me. He wanted me to have a boy so that he wouldn't be so outnumbered by girls. We all burst into laughter at his scowl when Karolina told him it was a girl. Even though he already knew I was having a girl he was still wishing. It was so cute and Viktoria told him that she hadn't had kids yet so he still had a fighting shot at another boy.

Once all of Dimitri's family had gone home it was just Lissa and Christian left. We sat in the room talking for a while when Lissa suddenly said "Hey Chris, Dimitri why don't you go and some coffee or something so Rose and I can have a little girl talk."
Christian and Dimitri left but knowing Dimitri he wouldn't want to be away from Nina too long so he'd be back soon.

"Rose I got a letter from Alberta the other day about a request to add more charges to Tasha's case. Why didn't you tell me what Tasha did? You could have told me," she had stopped walking Nina around the room and now sat in the chair Dimitri was sitting in next to my bed.
"Yes Liss I could have but Christian is already heaps upset about Tasha and then I found out I was pregnant, then Christmas, then Baia. I've been so caught up with everything that I had honestly forgotten all about it to tell you. I'm sorry." I say to her and its true since I found out I was pregnant, time just went really fast.
"I suppose but adding these charges to Tasha, it's pushed the trial up by weeks and has pretty much given a definite death sentence. When Christian found out he… well I know Christian's not showing it but he is stressed to no end about this, knowing that his only family member left is going to be executed." She says and bursts into tears.
"Liss it'll be ok I have an idea that might sway it to life in prison not execution. But we don't need to worry about it now trust me that it'll all work out. But I have something else I need to tell you."I say.

"Please don't tell me you're pregnant again already." She says and I laugh, god is having sex all she thinks I do.
"God Lissa of cause not, it has nothing to do with my reproductive system or sex. I think the bond is back." I say really quickly and watch as her face turns to utter confusion and disbelief.
"Umm how and why do you think that?" she asks me.
"Well you know how when i told you on the phone that I collapsed and fainted. Well the reason I fainted, I think, is because when I collapsed I was feeling dizzy and I wished you were there because you could have healed me. Then I was in your head and you were wishing I was there to help you and you were running around your apartment picking up paperwork telling Christian to hurry up. So I think that we both were in need of each other at the same time and it, I don't know, reactivated the bond like it wasn't actually gone but hidden." I tell her and she considers it.
"Well that could be possible because since you mentioned it I, lately, have been feeling something there and not so drained from spirit when I use it." She said and like I suspected Dimitri and Christian walked in the door, ending our conversation.

Dimitri and I were finally alone with Nina. Nurses came in every now and then to check on her and me. We were in a private room that had two couches that folded out into beds but I wanted Dimitri with me so we squished onto my bed.
"Are you happy?" I ask Dimitri as I put Nina in bed after breastfeeding her.
"If you mean happy as in I'm engaged to the most beautiful woman in the world who just so happened to give birth to my beautiful daughter, then yes I am very, very, very happy my Roza." He says.
"Ok just checking. I love you!" I tell him.
"I love you too Roza. Now sleep because judging by how much you've been yawning, you need it." He says and I giggle, relax then drift off to sleep.

Nina, the cutest baby ever, is now one month old and has everyone wrapped around her little finger, especially Dimitri. Today we are leaving Russia and returning home to Court. As much as I have loved being in Baia with Dimitri's family I have missed the comfits of home and my friends. My parents left about a week ago after visiting and took Lissa and Christian with them, Liss had queen duties to get back to.

Life is so great right now and I really don't want it to end. Three days after Nina was born Christian proposed to Lissa in Russia and they are getting married in two weeks. Lissa wanted to get married as soon as possible so that they could start a family of their own. Christian was more than happy to do this because after watching Lissa with Nina and spending time with her himself, he too wanted a family. Dimitri and I decided that there was no rush for us to get married and that we will just wait until things settle down for us.

"Rose you have to promise that you guys will send us heaps and heaps of photos of little missy here." Karolina said as we were out at the car saying our goodbyes.
"I promise." I say hugging her goodbye.
"You just promise to visit us as often as you can." Olena said.
"We will."
"Skype us to, so we know what you guys are doing." Sonya said.
"Sonya, Rose lives on Skype." Dimitri said and everyone laughed.
I didn't live on it but I am on it a lot.
"You have to tell us the minute you decide when the weddings going to be." Viktoria said as she took Nina out of my arms and put her in her car seat.
"Vika it won't be for a while but yes we'll let you know." Dimitri said to his sister.
"Will you guys just let them go, so they don't miss their flight. They will be back soon enough." Yeva said smiling from the front doorway.
"Fine go, but stay safe and call us when you arrive." Olena said crying.
"Mamma we'll be fine so please don't worry!" Dimitri said hugging his mother before we got into the car.

As we drove away everyone was waving out on the street and tears started dripping down Dimitri's face.
"Babe, it's ok, we'll see them again soon." I say to him.
"I know Roza. It's just hard saying goodbye." He said wiping the tears of his face.
I turn around to look at Nina in the backseat. She's already asleep, that's my girl.

The flight was long but Nina was perfectly behaved. She had a bit of a grumble when she was hungry but other than that she was an angel. I held her in my arms pretty much the whole flight except for when the food came, and then I handed her to Dimitri.

When we landed we were met with my parents to welcome us home. They had to be somewhere but said they'd see us soon. We got into a car and drove to our apartment. We got all our stuff out of the car and walked in the front door. We went to put our bags in the lounge room and Dimitri went to go get more but I grabbed his hand and pulled him to me.
"Yes Roza?" he said raising one eyebrow, I hated that he could do that and I couldn't.
"I have a surprise for you, close your eyes, follow me and when we stop take Nina from me." I said.
"Ok but…"
"Shh, just come with me." I said cutting off whatever he was going to say.

We walked until we reached the spare room that was now officially Nina's room. I decided that we would keep Nina's fully decorated room, except the wall for us to decorate, a secret from him so that when we got home he'd be surprised.
"Ok now keep your eyes closed and take Nina." I said placing Nina in his arms and opened the door. I looked in their quickly and it was so pretty.
"Ok Comrade you can open your eyes and look now." I said.
"What the… When did all this happen? Who did it?" He asked in amazement.
"Well I wanted to surprise you but Lissa organized it all and she had our friends help put it together. They did it when we were away. They left that wall for us to decorate with our own stuff, like photos." I told him and he walked in with me following.

There was a wooden cot under the window and a matching change table fully stocked along one wall, a chair in the corner with the biggest white teddy bear I have ever seen and other bits and pieces. There was also a dressing table that was on the opposite wall to the one with the change table and it had on it empty photo frames, a photo album scrapbook and a metal money-box that had Nina's name, date of birth, time of birth and weight engraved with an empty place for a christening date. The walls were painted in a soft baby pink and had girly butterfly wall stickers along the bottom. I walked over to the wardrobe and opened it to find that there was more clothes and shoes than I have ever owned in my life. There were bigger sized dresses and outfits for Nina to grow into and I could immediately tell that Nina was now Lissa's fashion dress up doll.

When we walked into mine and Dimitri's room with all of our luggage there was baby stuff piled up in the corner, rockers and baby toys, high chair, dummies, pram and blankets. I found a not on the bed that was from Lissa and it said:

Dear Rose,
I hope you like what we did with Nina's room, if you don't I'll be happy to get it redecorated. The piles of baby things in your room are presents from everyone. We didn't want to bother you tonight as it would be your first night home but tomorrow we will be celebrating with lunch at 12, meet me at my apartment.
Have fun and wish Nina a goodnight for me.
Love Lissa. Xxx

"I can't believe they did all this for us, for Nina." Dimitri said when we were getting ready for bed.
"I know Liss said they decorated the room and stocked it with stuff but I didn't expect this much stuff." I told him as I took Nina out of her second cot that was in our room to feed her.
"I'm glad they did though. I was worried we'd get here and have nothing for her." He said kissing my forehead then Nina's as I breastfed her.
"Well, it's a good thing we have so many great friends then." I said

"Yes my Roza it is a very good thing."

Hope you liked it and please review! :) xxx
