Chapter 26:
"This is your home" I say taking Andre out of the car. Dimitri unbuckles Anastasia and does pulls her out too. He walks around the car and we walk to the front door. Using his other hand he unlocks the door and pushes it open for me to walk in. I do and go to sit in the couch.
"Do you want to see the nursery?" Dimitri asks grinning.
"I was in the hospital for a week, no wy did you finish it in that time. Besides you were with me everyday you probably got nothing done." I say
"You're right. I didn't do it. Lissa and Christian did though." He replies.
"Really? I'm shocked sparky would do that for me." I say
"Yeah, Lissa forced him" Dimitri shrugs chuckling.
"I assumed," I say laughing
I stand up and Dimitri leads me down the hall to what previously the guest room. He opens the door and the first thing I see is that the walls were painted yellow. Usually I would not like this but the color was soft, not a vibrant yellow but a very light yellow. It was a good choice considering that both a boy and girl would sleep in this room so you really couldn't paint it either blue or pink.
I look inside and see a changing table, a bunch of stuffed animals, two small dressers, a lot of toys, a rocking chair, and two cribs one with baby pink blankets the other with baby blue.
"It's beautiful!" I say
"Well, Lissa knows best." Dimitri says, I laugh.
Anastasia started crying,"It looks like someone is hungry." Dimitri teases.
I roll my eyes and put Andre down in his crib because he fell asleep in my arms. In the week my babies were born I already noticed that Anastasia might have her fathers eyes and hair but she had my character, she cried a lot. Same for Andre he might have my hair and eyes but he had Dimitri's attitude, he is so calm, when he cries he cries softly unlike his sister who starts wailing for attention.
I turn around,"Go to mommy." Dimitri says in a baby voice to Anastasia
I laugh and grab her, I walk towards the rocking chair and start breast-feeding.
"So what else was Lissa planning while I was in the hospital?" I heard Dimitri and her having a conversation one day when they thought I was asleep. I was well aware what they were planning.
Dimitri raises an eyebrow,"It was suppose to be a surprise but it seems you already know what's going on."
I laugh and he just says," She's planning the wedding... next week."
I stop,"What? I can't plan a wedding in a week."
He laughs,"Yeah, well Lissa can. She didn't want you to worry and it was suppose to be a surprise."
"I would only ever trust Lissa to plan my entire wedding." I mumble,
"Well I'm sure she'll let you pick the dress." he says.
I laugh,"hopefully."
One Week Later
"Rose, breathe!" Lissa yells.
"Jesus, why'd you plan my wedding in a week. I'm not ready for this!" I say
"Hey, I got everything planned out, you don't have to worry about anything."
I nod," You're not worried about Dimitri are you?" she asks curious.
"I thought I would be... I thought I I'd be scared maybe cold feet everyone gets it but I'm not.. I.. I'm excited, I'm calm. " I tell her
She smiles,"I swear you guys are made for each other"I hear her mumble.
"Okay stand up." I do as I'm told and turn to look at the mirror.
Thankfully after giving birth my figure came back instantly. My dress was completely lace. It had a slip under it but it was all lace, it went down into a mermaid dress, had short sleeves, and the back had a line of pearls going down. My hair was in a side bun with a few curled strands framing my face. I had a fish net veil from 1920's, pearl earrings, and a simple diamond necklace Dimitri gave me for Christmas. My makeup consisted of red lipstick and a thin liquid eyeliner line on my top lid winged. My makeup sort of resembled Christina Aguilera's in Burlesque.
"Are you ready?" I hear Lissa say
I turn around and see her holding the door open. I nod and follow her out the room. We walk to the small room before the sanctuary in the church where everyone was lining up. The door opens and Zoya walks in first being the flower girl, followed by paul who was the ring bearer. Then the bridesmaids and the best man started pairing up and walking out. Lissa and Christian walked out first then followed by mine and Dimitri's friends.
By now it was my turn to go. I take a breath grab my red rose flowers, typical, and started walking dow the aisle. At the end of the aisle I see my Russian God. He was in a tux and looked hot! His hair was pulled back at the base of his neck with a few strands tucked behind his ears. He hold out his hand for me and I take it.
I look into his eyes and smile and then look at the crowd. Because most of the guest were Dimitri's we put some of his guests in my side. Th only people I would've had were my parents, who weren't invited, and most of my friends are Dimitri's so they would've been in his side. I turn back and look at the priest.
First we do an entire mass and then we get to the official wedding. The priest asked for our vows and Dimitri went first.
"Roza, I have loved you my entire life. You are my soul mate. I grew up next to you, I don't have a single memory without you. I know all of you pet peeves, and everything you love. You are my best friend, the mother of my children, the love of my life. I spent 19 years trying to get you and I want to spend the rest of my life proving to you that you are my everything." He say with watery eyes. I had tears running down my face and I had Lissa to thank for waterproof makeup.
"Dimitri, you are my best friend, my rock, you are the person that keeps me going. Whenever I had a problem I turned to you. I have a lot of mistakes in my life but you are the one thing I know I did right. I am so lucky to even have your love. And I want to show you everyday for the rest of my life that we are meant for each other."
We quickly flew by the I do's and then the priest said," I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."
Dimitri pulls me to him immediately and kisses me with so much love. I met his kiss with everything I had in me. I heard cheering in the background. We pull apart and I wipe his tears while he does the same for me.
"i love you so much. "I whisper against his forehead.
"I love you too my Roza." he says back.
"Forever."
