I OWN NOTHING!

"What are you talking about Ivashkov? Have you been drinking already?" I cast a glance at Mia. I knew she had made him cut back, well almost quit actually. She only lets him have one on a special occasion.

Mia jumped out of her seat and made her way to stand in front of Adrian. She had her hands on her hips and a very disgruntled look on her face. "If he values that drinking hand," she glanced down to the hands in question, "I suggest he refrain from the alcohol." her eyes were narrowed in on him, but she spoke to me.

"Baby, I have not had one sip. I swear. If you don't believe me, smell my breath." he started so blow in her direction, but she quickly turned so she didn't get a wiff.

"I believe you," she swung back around and threw her arms around his waist, crushing him into her chest. He in turn, wrapped her into an embrace and rested his chin on her head.

I looked up at Dimitri over my shoulder, he shrugged, "Don't look at me, I'm not the one with the freaky gifts!" I turned back to Adrian.

"Can you explain what it is?"

Adrian shook his head like he was trying to get a handle on his thoughts, "No, it's…..weird."

I laughed, "That word coming from your mouth? Never would have guessed." he knew I was joking with him and he gave a laugh too, along with everyone else in the waiting room.

He tried to look indignant but failed miserably "I am hurt Rosemarie!"

Oh, he knew how to pull my chain. "Adrian, do you me to ki-" I was cut off when Christian came in the room.

Everyone rushed him at once. "Hold on, hold on. They both are fine. But um, Rose, Lissa wants to see you. Sorry guys. One at a time." No one made a protest, they all knew Lissa and I were like sisters. And I was the only family she had outside the baby and Christian. He was absolutly beaming with pride.

I made my way to the room Christian had told me she was assigned to. When I walked in Lissa held the baby in a cradling position against her chest. Andrea was screaming her head off. "I don't know what to do, she wont latch on!"

I walked to Lissa's bedside and held my arms out to hold the baby, when I did I got a very clear message. I'm hungry. Not enough out. It took me a minute to dicipher the message and then it dawned on me.

I looked back up at Lissa. Who had big doe eyes that looked like they were about to start sheding tears. "She's hungry Liss, there's not enough coming out for her. She wants more."

Lissa looked mortified. "The nurse told me that at first a lot wouldn't come out, she told me to alternate between a bottle and my breasts." She pulled out a tiny bottle that held the thick formula in it, then she handed me the bottle. Then it suddenly hit her. "You- you can understand her."

I slowly nodded my head, "Apparantly I can." That was a big shock to us both, but like every other weird thing from being shadow kissed and bonded, in our lives- we just rolled with it. No sense in asking questions neither of us could put answers to.

I put the bottle in Andrea's mouth and she took it greedily. Choking herself every now and then. I just sat down with her, rocking gently and singing the only lullaby I knew. Don't ask me how I knew it I just did

It came to me in a dream I once had, not so long ago. And to top it off, it was in Russian. So I don't even know what I was saying. I just knew it was a lullaby.

When I glanced back up to Lissa, she was fast asleep. She must have been completely tuckered out. Cause she was snoring softly. I stayed there cooing to the baby for a long, long time. "Welcome to the world little one. Happy Birthday! You are truly an angel. My little godchild. I love you so much already." Lissa surely doesn't know how much she has been gifted with. The knowledge that Dimitri and I will never have children made my heart tighten and my breathing become unsteady. When she was finished with the bottle, I raised her up to my shoulder, the way I had seen Lissa and Christain do with the 'practice baby', and patted her gently on the back so she could burp. She did and then fell fast asleep.

I don't know how long I had been in the room, when I saw Dimitri approach. He gave me a warm smile, then his eyes held an alarm in them. He rushed to my side and knelt down beside me.

"Roza, whats wrong? Is the baby okay? Is Lissa okay?" he had a frantic note in his voice.

"They are fine, whats gotten into you?"

"When I saw you crying I thought something had happen!"

"Crying?" I reached up to my face, and sure enough, I had tears making tracks down it. He reached up and swiped them away gently. Understanding came to his eyes.

"Oh my love, I am so, so sorry. I don't want you to hurt like this. If there was any way possible, I would gladly give you your hearts desire." He sounded desperate.

"Mi amore. You have given me what I want. I didn't even know I had wanted a child. But not just any child. I want yours. But what's funny, I -I didn't even know I felt like that."

He reached up and kissed me, "Maybe one day, my Roza, they have procedures now days. Invetro and stuff. It wont be biologically mine, but it would be mine nontheless." he tried soothingly.

I didn't respond. I didn't want to tell him I would never even hear of that. I knew how much he longed for a child of his own. But I kept thinking of what the doctor had told me. I didn't want to tell Dimitri, we would just have to see in time.

"Come on love, I still have a birthday present for you." he stood up and helped me up while I still had the baby held firmly to my chest. I put her in the crib next to Lissas' bed and kissed her. Then I turned to Lissa and covered her up with a quilt and planted a kiss on her fore head.

We walked down the hall a little ways and ran into Christian. Christian had a grin from ear to ear planted on his face. It's a wonder his cheeks didnt hurt him.

"Hey guys, sorry I -we didn't make it to your birthday dinner but-"

I cut him off by pulling him into a hug. I shocked the shit out of him but he relaxed and hugged me back.

"Tell Liss I will be here first thing in the morning, okay? Oh and congradulations Pop!"

All three of us laughed. Christian, a proud Daddy. Who would have thought it?

"I will. Goodnight you two. Enjoy your evening." Christian gave Dimitri a look, that I completely didn't understand, but I just ignored it. I didn't want to ruin their moment. We made our way to the restaurant where we were late for dinner by more that four hours. But they kept it open just for us. I think either Dimitri, Christian, Lissa or Adrian pulled some strings and called them. But no one else came with us. That I thought was weird. But I didn't question it. We made our way to the back, where it was set up by candle light only and was far enough so no one could hear us. Dimitri had called ahead and put in our orders so the food would be done by the time we arrived. It was a good thing, cause I was famished.

I know it's short. But I had to put this in here. So dont kill me! Love you guys and keep those gracious reviews coming!
