Chapter 21

I woke up and noticed my surroundings. I was in the hospital. I looked around the room and noticed Dimitri asleep in the chair next to my bed. "Dimitri?" I whispered, his eyes quickly fluttered open "Roza? Roza! How are you feeling?" I shrug and reply "I think I'm fine. How long have I been here? Are we still in Russia?" He nods and says "You passed out this morning when you met your father." I lay my head back on the pillow and rub my eyes with both hands. "My Father! I'm so confused!" I feel the bed lean as Dimitri sits next to me and brings me into his arms.

"I am so sorry that he do this to you, on today of all days. Happy Birthday by the way sweetheart!" I smiled up at him but it didn't reach my eyes. "Dimitri, Did you know Abe was my father?" Dimitri shrugs "No, I just knew him by Abe or Zemy, I had no idea he was your father. He is bad news, that is why we were arguing, I didn't want to let him near you. He isn't a good guy from all that I have heard about him, but after talking to him and even confirming it with Janine, he is your father." I sigh and try to relax.

Before I get a chance the door to, my room opens and in walks in the devil himself. "Sorry to interrupt but I just wanted to check on Rosemarie." I glared at him and replied before Dimitri could "First off, don't call me Rosemarie and second why now? Why after officially 19 years today are you so interest in finding me?"

He walks up closer to the bed "Rose, I am here because I want to get the chance to know you. I am sorry that I wasn't around at all through your childhood but that is the way Janine wanted it. She didn't even know I was confronting you until Dimitri called her. Now she is livid but I can handle your mother. I want to be in your life Rose. I have always wanted to be. I have been trying to find you since your graduation and 18th birthday. I will understand if you don't want to see me again. I will leave, what ever you want Rose." I look at him agape.

"I….. I…. I don't know what I want right now." I stammer out. I look up at Dimitri and he looks at me lovingly and giving me the strength I need to continue. "I'm glad you found me. I didn't know who my father was. Mom never talked about you. I can see where I get a lot of my personality from though." I laugh lightly, Abe joins in.

"I am so sorry to come so unannounced. I just knew it was your birthday today, and I wanted to met you and give you this." He reaches into his black navy coat and pulls out a little key placed on top of a red small box.

He hands it over to me. "What's this?" I ask with a confused look on my face. He smiles. "I would like you to open it when you go back to the house, the other part is waiting there for you to open with the key." I nod and give the box and key to Dimitri and he places it in his pocket. "I will. Thank you. Can we get out of here now?" Dimitri and Abe both laugh at me. "I'll go ask the doctor" Abe says and walks out the door.

"Rose, Are you sure your okay with this?" I smile at him. "It's not like I can control it and it's not like he wanted to stay away, Mom made him for her own reasons. I just wish I would have had a chance to get to know him when I was younger." He nods in agreement. "I love you" I smile and whisper the same back.

After about ten minutes Abe comes back in. "Okay the doctor said that you are able to go, but he wants to talk to both of you first." I look at Dimitri and sigh. He laughs and kisses my nose. "Okay, Lets get this over with." I grunt. Abe signals the doctor to go ahead and come in as he waits in the hall.

"Rose I'm glad to see your awake. When Dimitri brought you in I though that you fainted because of stress and so I just ran some test to make sure. I was correct but while running those tests one stood out to me." I nod for him to continue and he smiles. "Rose when was your last period?" I sense deja vu' "What? Again! Seriously!?" Dimitri looks at me like I have two heads. "What are you guys talking about? I am so confused!" asks Dimitri. I look into his eyes and sigh and look down at my belly. "I'm pregnant…..again!"

I smile at the thought of having another one of Dimitri's children, but then I stop short and look back up at Dimitri then the doctor. "How far long am I?" he smiles again and replies "10 weeks long so about 2 ½ months." I look back down at my belly. "hi baby!" I look back up into Dimitri's eyes, scared of what he is going to say and do. He is just looking at me rubbing my belly lovingly. "I love you Roza. Are you happy?" I nod happily. "More than you could ever know!" he kisses me and then hugs me tightly.

The doctor interrupts our moment. "I think that you should call your family doctor to set up an ultrasound once you arrive home. When are you going back to the states?" I look up at Dimitri and he answers for me "We are getting married on the 20th and going on our honeymoon Aug 1st until the 7th so we won't be back for a while. Can we have an ultrasound here with you before we go on our honeymoon?" I look back at the doctor. He smiles and nods.

When we arrive back at Dimitri's family house everyone is waiting in the living room. When we walk in the door, they all rush around us and hug and kiss Dimitri and I. I look for Larissa and hug her close to me as she says "Hi Momma!" I kiss her cheeks.

We tell everyone that we have an announcement. They all sit in the living room along with Lissa, Christian, and my father. Weird, My father! I can sense Lissa is worried about me. I start off by saying "I'm sorry for scaring all of you this morning with my incident. I was just really stressed about meeting my father. Everyone, this is my father Ibraham Mazur."

Lissa and Christian gasp and everyone else seemed like they already knew. Dimitri must of told them. "We also found out some other great news." I start "Rose and I are pregnant again!" Dimitri gushes. Everyone squeals. Dimitri wraps is hands around my waist resting both of his hands on me belly and his head on my shoulder.

We talk for while after that about our upcoming plans to do about him or her. I completely forgot that my birthday was coming to a close. Lissa stands up and reminds me "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSE! How about we go out tonight?" I nod and I go and get ready. Dimitri trailing behind me. "You ready to celebrate?" Dimitri asks once inside the room. I smile "I am ready to celebrate my birthday, now regarding this little him or her well I have special plans to celebrate later tonight!" I say with my man-eater smile. He smirks and kisses me intensely. I pull the kiss deeper intertwining my fingers into his hair. He moans my name into my neck as we part for breath.

I walk towards that bathroom while he goes to change. "tease!" he mumbles and I reach the bathroom door. I giggle just loud enough for him to hear.

I dressed in a sexy short black dress with black heels that I wore on my first true date with Adrian. I curled my hair in loose waves. As I walked out of the bathroom I notice Dimitri looking out the window. He is in faded blue jeans and a black buttoned up long sleeve shirt. He looks so sexy I didn't know if I could control myself to get out of the bedroom. Dimitri hears my breathing catch and turns around. His eyes look like that are about to fall out of there sockets and mouth agape. "Rose…..You…..Look……" he stutters.

I pout "Do I look ok?" he grins wildly and nods "You look so sexy it hurts. I don't know if I can let you walk away from me." I laugh and he is in front of me in seconds. He puts his hands on either side of my face and pushes me up against the wall. I moan softly and he backs away and groans looking at me again. "Damn Roza, Your so stunning!" He whispers. I nod "We better go before we take this too far and can't" I say with a giggle.

We walk out of the room and at the bottom of the stairs we see Sonya and Vikki all dressed up in black too. Sonya is wearing a v neck short dress with her hair as well as Vikki's almost identical to mine, loose curls. Vikki is wearing a very tight short dress that is perfect for her curves. "You ladies ready!?" I ask excitedly. Just as I say that Lissa and Christian come in thru the front door and say "You guys ready yet!? Oh my gosh, All of you look so hot!" Lissa's voice rising excitedly. She is wearing a sexy pink tight short dress that is doing wonders for her body. Christian is in something similar to Dimitri but his shirt is white. "You guys do too!"

We head out to a dance club. We dance for a couple hours. After a while I notice that Lissa, Vikki, Christian are all totally plastered. Dimitri had a couple of drinks along with Sonya. I couldn't stop laughing at all of them. After 5 hours of dancing and watching people drink, we finally started to head back.

When we got back Olena said that Andre and Larissa were out cold in the guest room playpen. I went to check on them while Lissa ran out to get all of my birthday presents. They were cuddled next to each other and fast asleep. I kissed both there cheeks and walked out to check on the drunks. They were all collapsed on the couch.

Lissa squeals "open mine first!" once I finally sit down next to Dimitri, we laugh at her and she hands me a big box. I look at it for a moment, shrug and open it. It turns out to be a lot of extremely sexy lingerie. I blush as I set it aside. Lissa pouts "Aren't you going to show everyone what I got you!?" I shake my head. "I'll show Dimitri in private, thanks Liss." She laughs but drops it. Dimitri raises an eye brow at me and I just smirk and shake my head.

Sonya and Vikki hand me each a bag. I open them and smile, slippers and a really soft robe. "Thanks you guys!" they smile and hug me. Dimitri hands me his and I smile at him. "Thanks Comrade" he just shakes his head and I open it to reveal a purple pajama set. It was silk and gorgeous! "I love it baby! Thanks!" I gush as I kiss him on the lips and cheek. "I'm glad you like it Roza!" I smile.

Olena come up to me with an envelope and hands it to me and I smile and open it. It is a fully paid for day at the spa with a plus one more! "Oh my gosh, Thank you so much Olena! You didn't have to do this!" she shakes her head and laughs "Yes I did, you deserve it! Plus it isn't that big of deal. I'm glad you like it!" "Yes, Thanks again, everybody thanks!"

Lissa stands up and says her goodbyes and grabs Andre and they head to the hotel. We all disperse after that and Olena says that she will keep an eye on Larissa so we don't have to move her.

Once in our room, I look on the bedside table and see the box and key there and then a little box next to the table. Dimitri sees me looking and asks "Do you want to open it?" I nod and I sit on the bed and open the little box to reveal a beautiful heart pendent necklace with a note saying,

This was your grandmothers, She wanted you to have it before she pasted. She didn't know you or ever meet you but I know that she would of loved you.

My eyes start to tear a little after reading that note and seeing the heart pendent necklace. When I start to reach for the key and other box I hear a light knock on the door. Dimitri answers it. It's Vikki "Rose, This came for you today and also something from your mother." I nod and Dimitri grabs the dozen gorgeous red roses and the small box. "Thanks Vikki, See you in the morning! Night!" she smiles and replies "Night!" and walks off.

Dimitri brings both gifts to me and I open the small box from my mother first. It is a charming bracelet with gems. It says three words Dream, Believe, and Achieve. I smile and put it on the bedside table and take the roses from Dimitri.

There is a note, I wonder who there from. I set the red vase on the dresser and pull out the envelope. The front is titled Rose. I open it to reveal a hand written letter from Adrian. Dimitri sits on the bed and watches me intently. I look to him and back at the letter and begin to read…..

Dearest Rose,

I am so very sorry for everything that I have done to ever hurt you. I know that I have made a lot of bad decision in my life and one was letting you walk out of it. I am very sorry about what I did last Christmas. I know that it is inexcusable. I love you and always will Rose. You will always hold the true key to my heart, and I want you to be happy. I know that Dimitri is the one that holds your true happiness. I am so very sorry about all of the pain that I have caused you. You were my life and I lost all of it. I know that I have made a lot of mistakes and I hope that some day you can look past that and be my friend again. I know that you are planning on marrying Dimitri on the 20th and I did receive a invite whether by your hand or Lissa's. I don't know if I will be able to attend but I will try. I love you so much Rose and I am so sorry I let an amazingly perfect women like you walk out of my life so easily. Happy 19th birthday. I hope you love the roses.

Love,

Adrian

I reread the letter a couple of time before I can pry my eyes off of it. I look into Dimitri's eyes and see a wave of sadness pass thru them. "Are you okay Roza?" I smile slightly and nod. "I think so. The roses are from Adrian, He wished me a happy birthday and wanted to apologize." He nods and reaches out for me. I gladly slide into them. "I love you so much Dimitri!" I murmur into the nook of his next. " I love you to Roza!"

That letter from Adrian was my final closure. He did this all to himself but a part of me was very happy that he did or else I would of never given Dimitri another glance. I was happy that fate gave me another chance to redeem my true feelings for my true love, Dimitri!

That night Dimitri and I made passionate love. All we wanted was more and more from one another. We could never get enough. My father, Adrian, and the box with the key was put to the back of my mind forgotten until later. The only thing passing through my thoughts were of Dimitri and my want and need for him coursing thru my veins and thoughts.
