"No, I don't need time to think. I've been waiting to marry you for three years now. It's about time that you walked me down the aisle already." And with that she started to kiss me again.

Yep, without a doubt, my life could not get any better.

6 months later

LPOV

"Well those two certainly didn't waste any time did they?" Christian whispered in my ear.

"Well after everything they went through to be together, I guess that neither one of them wanted to wait," I whispered back.

We were sitting in the front row of the church and waiting for the ceremony to start. I can't believe how well everything turned out,and the only person who wasn't happy with the outcome was Ralf Sarcozy. He is currently being held in maximum security prison. Not that he was actually dangerous, but after the stunt that he tried to pull, Hans thought that it would be best to keep him under close observation.

"Check out how nervous the groom looks up there, he's probably thinking that his blushing bride has gotten cold feet and has already run for the hills by now."

I looked over at Dimitri standing there with Ivan at his side, he looked more uncomfortable then anything in his suit but I could tell how eager he was to see Rose walking down the aisle towards him.

"Please, you saw how happy they both were when they came to tell us the good news, she's just being over dramatic and is waiting to do a big entrance."

"Well I wish she would hurry up, we've been waiting for a half an hour now."

"It's her big day and you will be on your best behaviour or I will cut you off for a week," I threatened. I'm not sure if I could really stand by that threat but after being around Rose so long, I had learned to hold a bluff.

"Fine, I'll behave." Christian sighed as he slumped down lower into the church pew. Just then the music started playing and we all stood up and turned to look at the opening doors.

Rose walked out and she was stunning as always. She was wearing an ivory and cream drees that came in tight at the waist and showed off her figure but was still modest and classy. Her dress flowed down her body and came out wide at the bottom.

She locked eyes with Dimitri and a big smile came across her face. She started walking and took one step at a time as she came towards him. I looked back at Dimitri and his face was shining with so much happiness that I think that he might float away.

Rose made her way over to Dimitri and looked deep into his eyes for a moment.

Before continuing to move and walked over to stand on the side opposite side where Ivan and Dimitri were.

Then the wedding march started to play and out came Violet. She looked just as lovely as Rose had but her dress was snow white and simple. But all the more beautiful for it. And her lovely strawberry blond hair was in a crown of curls on the top of her head.

Again I looked back at the groom. Ivan had the same look on his face that Dimitri had when Rose was walking down the aisle before. Like he couldn't believe his luck that he was claiming a woman so beautiful as his own.

Violet came up to Ivan and and he took her hand in his and brought it up to his lips. They both turned towards the priest and he started the ceremony.

"Dearly beloved guests, we are gathered here today for the wedding of Miss Violet Jon and Dimitri Belikov,"

(Wait, that's not right. REWIND!)

"Dearly beloved guests, we are gathered here today for the wedding of Miss Violet Jon and Ivan Zeklos,"

(That's better)

"Do you Ivan Zeklos take Violet Jon to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

"And do you Violet Jon's take Ivan Zeklos to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"With the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Ivan turned and gave Violet a gentle kiss that showed exactly how much he loved her. The crowd cheered as the newly weds turned and walked back down the aisle.

RPOV

Dimitri came up to me and took my hands in his and leaned close, "That's going to be us soon," his sexy Russian accent and the smell of his aftershave was making me want to do a repeat performance of what we did this morning.

"Have you decided if you want to take my last name yet?" He asked.

"Mmmm, I do like the sound of Mrs. Rose Belikov but the Hathaway name is something that people have come to know and respect. I think I will have both but only say my last name for official things."

"Works for me Mrs. Belikov." And he leaned in and kissed me. We held the kiss for a long time before I pulled away. Dimitri looked at me with surprise and confusion. I know, I never thought that I would be the one to pull away from a kiss with Dimitri. But I had a very good reason for it.

"Violet is about to throw the bouquet!"

"You're already getting married, what do you need to catch the bouquet for?"

Honestly. Men. "I don't need to but we will be very close to those two for a very long time and this is something that Violet and I can bond over."

"She already made you her maid of honour, what's higher than that to bond over?"

Poor Dimitri, he's just about the most wonderful man that has ever walked the face of the earth. But when it comes to girl things...he just doesn't quite get it. He must have seen the look on my face as I was thinking that because he came out with...

"You know what, just go nuts and make a mad dash for the bouquet like all of the other woman in here and have fun," He leaned in and gave me a quick and soft kiss.

Yep. He was perfect. "Just do me a favour and try not to break any of the other girls' noses while you do it." He said it in a joking tone but I could tell that there was real worry underneath that.

"No promises." I called back at him as I ran towards Violet as she was about to throw.

"Everybody ready? Ok. One, two, THREE!" She turned her back and threw her bouquet over her head. While all of the other woman ran towards it and jumped up and down like cheerleaders on a caffeine high, I ran over to the nearest table and jumped on it and using my momentum from my run, I threw myself into the air and caught the bouquet before it even touched a single hand.

I flipped in mid air and landed on my feet and I did all of that in heels and a floor length gown. Man, I'm good. I turned around when I heard laughter and saw Dimitri cracking up. Really, he should have expected something like this from me by now. I just smiled at him and blew a kiss in his direction.

After that, things quieted down. A few people got drunk at the reception and Dimitri made a very touching speech about Ivan and how happy he was to have his best friend back and for him to find such happiness right away and that if anyone deserved it he did.

As the maid of honour, I made a speech too and the class clown in me desperately wanted to make a joke and some inappropriate comment, but I had been warned to be on my best behavior. So I just slipped in a not so subtle death threat to Ivan that if he didn't treat Violet right that he would have me to deal with. Only about half of the crowd laughed. The rest knew better than to think that I was joking.

And on with the festivities. Violet and Ivan cut the cake, they had there first dance, and I tried, in vain, to get Dimitri drunk. But unless someone had brought some rocket fuel that could double as Russian Vodka, that wasn't going to happen.

But the wedding had definitely put Dimitri in a good mode and I could tell how much he was looking foward to our own in a few months. We hadn't set a date yet but we didn't want to wait too long either. It had also made him super affectionate as he was saying stuff like, "Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight Roza?" He muttered in my ear as we slow danced. I hadn't been able to get him drunk but he was a little tipsy.

"Mmm, you might have mentioned it three or four times tonight yeah, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't mind hearing it again." I muttered back with a very cheeky smile on my face.

"You are the most beautiful woman that I have ever laid eyes on, you are a vision of loveliness, and you doing that back flip to catch the bouquet in high heals was incredibly sexy."

He whispered in my ear with his way to sexy accent getting even stronger because of the alcohol.

"Well, if you think that was sexy then wait until we get back to our room and I will show you what else I can do in heels." I whisper back in his ear softly and I felt him shudder.

"Well then what are we waiting for?" It was late so we found Ivan and Violet and wished then a long and happy marriage and then we went to our room so I could keep the promise that I made to Dimitri.

It was a week after Ivan and Violet's wedding and we had decided to take a holiday. Or rather Lissa had forced one on us.

Flashback

"No Lissa, it's ok, I'm happy to keep guarding you."

"Against what? There are no more Strigoi left in the world to threaten me."

"A Moroi can still turn Strigoi and change others, and there could also be human threats that might come now that the Strigoi are out of the way."

"You are not the only guardian I have and last time I checked, I was the queen so I am ordering you and Dimitri to have a holiday. You being kidnapped was hard on the both of you and it's time that you got a break."

End flashback

So we were going to Russia. Lissa and the rest of the court had mostly been able to keep a lid on what had happened, but word had still gotten out that I had been kidnapped and turned so naturally, Dimitri's family had called him and told him that they were sorry and not to lose hope.

It has been about 6 months since I was turned back into a Dhampir and Hans had cleared both Ivan and I saying that

"After all of the Strigoi that you killed, I don't care if you two murdered a hundred people because the over all loss would still be less then if you hadn't set off your bomb."

And once Dimitri had heard that Lissa had given us vacation time, he had wasted no time in getting us a flight to Russia to see his family. We still had to tell them that we were getting married and thank Yeva for the ring.

"Are you done packing yet?" Dimitri called as he came into the room carrying his suitcase.

"I can't decide what to wear and first impressions matter!"

"You already met my family."

"Yes, but last time I was in Russia, it was to tell everyone that you weren't a Strigoi anymore so I don't think that your mother really cared if I was good enough for you. But now were getting married and she will have to accept me. What if she doesn't want us to get married because I can't give you kids?"

I was probably freaking out over nothing, all of the Belikov family loved me. Even Vika. We had made up after what happened last time and we were now like sisters again.

"My mother loves you and she will be ecstatic to hear that we are getting married. She was the one that I asked about the ring. And as for kids,"

He came over to me and wrapped his arms around me and looked into my eyes. "I accepted long ago that being with you meant no kids and I'm fine with that. As long as I have you, I have everything that I need to be happy." He leaned in and kissed me softly.

"And if it does become a problem, we can adopt. There won't be a need for so many guardians now that you and Ivan wiped out all of the Strigoi, so I think that we can handle having a family."

I liked the sound of that. "Yeah, mum,dad and a baby, sounds pretty good to me." I smiled up at him and reached up on my tip toes and gave him a kiss filled with everything that I felt for him.

The flight went well. I spent most of it asleep but I did wake up in time to get a nice view of Russia. "This is so much better then my last trip here." I muttered to Dimitri who was sitting next to me.

"I hope that the rest of you time here is better then the last few times. " He said with a dark look on his face.

"Hey, no brooding allowed, this is a happy trip." I told him.

We would be going back and forth from court to Russia for a very long time and I couldn't let every visit be tainted with me being kidnapped and turned here. Nope. Dimitri is Russian and he is the most important thing in my life which makes Russia a big part of me and I was going to make sure that it was a good one.

We touched down and rented a car. It was a surprise visit so no one was here to meet us so we got in the car and started driving. I was a little nervous but I was getting over it. Olena knew exactly how much I loved Dimitri and how I would do anything for him. And that was what she really wanted, someone to love her son and make him happy.

A few hours later we pulled up at the Belikov house and got out. We walked up and knocked on the door. I heard someone shouting in Russian. I am actually mostly fluent in Russian after being here on and off for so long. And having a very hot Russian boyfriend who got turned on when I spoke Russian to him didn't hurt either.

The door opened and Olena came out. "Dimka!" She shouted and throw her arms around him in a tight hug.

" Я туман Вы так много моего ребенка Мальчик, Это столь хороший к до встречи."

I actually understood what she said which was, "I missed you so much my baby boy. It's so good to see you again."

Wow, I was better than I thought.

She turned to me and smiled "Oh, Roza." She gave me a bone crushing hug. "We were so sad to hear that you had been taken and feared the worst," She said and I think that she was crying "I'm so glad to see you here, you must tell us everything that happened."

"Рад вас видеть снова маме.и не волнуйтесь, Dimitri, и я скажу Вам все.''

(It's good to see you again too mama, and don't worry, Dimitri and I will tell you everything)

She pulled away and looked at me with surprise. I couldn't help but laugh at her face. "I've been practicing." I said with a grin.

"So I see," She smiled at me again and ushered us into the house "Now I know why my mama wanted me to make black bread for dinner to night..."

"She saw us coming." I said with a little sarcasm in my voice. My and Dimitri's love of black bread was well known in the Belikov house hold.

"Where is Yev-" he got interrupted as a new set of arms came out of no where and claimed him in a tight hug. "Dimka Вы домой! Вы приносили Roza с Вами? В порядке она? Мы услышали, что она была взята."

(Dimka you are home! Did you bring Roza with you? Is she ok? We heard that she was taken.")

Then she spotted me and threw her arms around me, "Roza! Are you ok?"

"Hey I...I'm fine Vika." I got out as she crushed me with her hug. Well, so far so good.

"Ah Roza, what's that on you finger?" Olena asked with a huge smile on her face. I guess Dimitri was right and she did want me and her son to get married.

"As you know, Dimitri asked me to marry him." I said with my own huge smile on my face as Olena swept me up in another hug, "Welcome to the family Roza." She said. I relaxed into the hug and felt very loved and excepted all over again. Dimitri's mother was one of those people that had that effect on you.

"You finally asked her Dimka!" ViKa cried and came to join the hug. Soon the rest of the family came in, having heard all the noies and joined the hug.

"Oh Roza, we're so happy that your safe, we heard such horrible things." Karolina said.

"Roza!" Paul cried out and attached himself to my leg.

"I told you all that everything would work out for the best." Yeva said from the side line as she held little Zoya in her arms.

"And we believed you grandma, but you could of given us a little more than that to go on." Sonya said from somewhere else in the hug.

"Well since everyone is already here, I might as well tell you that Dimitri and I are getting married!" I shouted out to everyone so I didn't have to repeat myself. And I was met with a chorus of screaming and congratulations as half of the hug went to go and tackle Dimitri.

"Well it's about time you two," Viktoria said with a huge smile on her face "We've known that you two would get married ever since you walked up to our door step and told us what Roza did for you."

Yeah, after all that Dimitri and I had gone through, it was pretty obvious that we were meant to be together.

"Ok everyone, give Roza some room to breath, you're all crushing her." Olena said and as head of the family, everyone listened to her and backed away from me. Dimitri came up to me and put his arm around my waist and I leaned into him.

"See, I told you that everyone would be happy for us." He whispered in my ear, I guess that when it came to his family, he knew best.

The evening continued on from there as we were led into the kitchen and started getting plates out for dinner. It was while we were all eating that we started telling everyone what Dimitri and I had been through the last month.

"I can't belive that you were turned into a Strigoi Roza," Olena said with amazement on her face. "What are the odds that that would happen to both of you with in two years of each other."

"Yeah we're just lucky that way." I said very dryly.

"And once again, Roza was the one to save the day. If she hadn't switched the gas in the bomb then it would have gone off and we would all be in a prison camps by now." Dimitri said with pride in his voice as he looked at me with love.

We were just finishing off dessert when Dimitri got a phone call. He looked down at the number before he answered it. "It's Christian, he's probably just checking that everything went smoothly with the flight." And he left to take the call.

I didn't think much of it and went back to doing the dishes with Olena and chated for a while until I realized that with the time difference it would be the middle of the night where Christian and Lissa were so it was definitely not just a social call.

Right on cue, Dimitri came through the door and he had his guardian mask up, that was not a good sign.

"What's wrong?"

"Lissa is on the phone and wants to tell you herself."

Oh this was definitely not good. I walked over to him and took the phone out of his hand as I walked down the hall so the others wouldn't over hear me.

"Lissa, what's wrong? Are you ok?" I asked in a hard but very worried voice.

"Oh Rose, it's horrible." She was crying, I could tell that right away and she was scared and on edge. Even without the bond, I could read her moods as well as I could read my own.

"Lissa calm down, now what's horrible?"

"It's Tasha, she's escaped!"

NOOOOO

Sorry to say it but this is the last chapter.

No No DONT SHOT ME!

because so many of you wanted more I've decided to do a sequel.

But right now I am going to start work on another story while I think of a new plot line for this one.

what would you like to see happen next?

But there you go,a happy ending all around just like I promised,and now I will give you a brief summery of what my next story will be about.

NOT THE SEQULE but takes place around the same time. The Alchemists have reported a large group of people going missing form a human school they think that it's Strigoi related. So Lissa decided that two people should go undercover and find out what's going on. So who better then the two best guardians available.

Rose will be going back to high school as a student and Dimitri will be going as...you guessed it...HER TEACHER!

Im thinking of rating it M because of sexual content. (Rose in a short school skirt and Dimitri likening what he's seeing) but you tell me. I will mostly focus on the plot but if you want it M I might throw in an M seen or two.

Review and tell me what you want and I will start writing sooner;)
