5 Years Later:

Rose's POV:

I held my son's hand as we walked up to the Russia academy. I had promised Christian and Lucas that I wouldn't cry when I dropped him off. I couldn't help smiling that my 5 year old was already embarrassed by me. Suddenly my son stopped and I looked at him concerned. "Honey? Is everything okay?"

He looked up at me. "Mommy?"

"Yes?" He beckoned me closer with his little finger and I crouched down. "How can I help you?"

"What if I don't know anyone?" A couple tears started to run down his cheeks.

Oh honey... Your Uncle Xav is going to he here..."

Lucas gave me a small smile. "He is?"

I nodded. "Yes."

"Okay." There was a pause. "Is he going to be in my class?"

I shook my head. "No."

"Who will be in my class then?"

"LUCAS!" I heard someone yelling after us and I saw Samuel Zeklos running up the walk way.

I smiled at me son. "Who is that?"

"SAM!" My son ran over to him.

I looked over at Lissa and smiled. "Hi!"

She smiled back. "Hello." Shortly after the wedding, Lissa found out she and Jesse were expecting. He had taken off though, and now Lissa was raising her son alone, and it had brought us closer. Lucas and Sam were of course inseparable and it was just so weird that two little boys could bridge a gap that large.

Lucas ran back over with a smile. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted to surprise you."

"I am!"

I lifted him up and hugged him tight. "I am glad then."

He hugged me back. "I love you."

:I love you too."

"Mommy, are you crying?"

"Yes?"

"Daddy?"

"Yeah buddy?"

"She's crying..."

I couldn't help laughing. My little guy was so mature. "I'm okay."

"Rose..."

"No, really. I am going to be fine."

"Okay."

I set my son down and then wiped my eyes. "Okay. Are you ready to go in?"

He took mine and Christian's hand and smiled. "Yes."

Christian's POV:

After Dropping Lucas off at school, Rose and I were back at home and I was sitting in my study working on one of my final papers. I couldn't believe that I was graduating this year! I looked at the clock and realized that it was almost lunch time. I also realized that Rose had been quiet for a very long time and she was like a little kid. That wasn't a good thing. I stood up and walked towards the bedroom. "Rose?" I walked down the hall and saw the bathroom door was shut, so I knocked lightly. "Rose?"

"Come in." Her voice was tiny.

I slowly opened the door and I saw her sitting on the floor curled up in a ball. I crouched down in front of her. "What's wrong honey?"

"We're pregnant."

"And this has you crying? That can't be good..."

"It's going to be like before..."

I hugged her close. "No it isn't. It is going to be fine."

"That's what you said last time."

I sighed and pushed the hair out of her face. After Lucas had been born, Rose had had three miscarriages. "I can feel it this time."

She nodded. "Okay." She hugged me. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"Chris?"

"Yes?"

"Can you tell me your girl's name?"

I smiled at her. "Sure. If we have a little girl, I want to name her Elisabeth."

She smiled back at me. "I really like that."

"I am glad."

She sighed and looked out the window. "Should I tell someone?"

"It's up to you."

"I want to tell Olena..."

"Then you should. She would be thrilled AND she would keep your secret."

"I know."

I kissed the top of her head. "What are you thinking?"

"My mom is getting out of prison soon..."

"No, she is up for parole soon. There is a difference."

"They will free her."

"Not necessarily. She did a lot of bad things."

Rose stood up and started past me. "I don't want to do this anymore."

I snorted. "How DARE anyone say something bad about your EVIL mother."

"SHE ISN'T EVIL!"

"Rose, she killed your baby."

"No, I did."

I put my hands on either side of her face and looked at her. "How can you even think that?"

"I knew I was going to enrage her. I knew it was risky going into a room alone with her. I talked back."

"I've talked back to Dimitri and Tasha before me. They never bashed my head into a wall..."

"I never know when to just keep my mouth shut. That is why I keep losing my babies. God is punishing me."

"He isn't punishing you. I think a lot of the problem is stress. I think we are going to put you on bed rest for the entire pregnancy."

"How is that going to help?"

"I just want you to relax. I want you to be as happy as you can be."

"If you think sticking me in bed for 7 months is going to make me happy, you really don't know me at all."

I laughed. "It is going to be fine. I just want you to have the easiest pregnancy ever and I want us to have a healthy baby."

She smiled at me. "If I indulge you, after the baby is born, can we take a trip to see Tatiana?"

"Of course we can! I think Lucas should get to go and see the Royal court. We can even go for our Anniversary."

She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight. "I love you. More than anything."

I smiled at her and kissed her gently. "I love you too." I just knew everything was going to be okay and everything was going to work out in the end.


Well. That is the end of it. What did you all think? Did you want a sequel? Should I start a new C/R story? Or should I do a new couple?

Let me know and please review!

Thanks!
