This is a bit of a smaller chapter, but it is also a change in the plot line a little, it is a filler chapter... I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Rose's POV:

I was walking down the hall wanting to confront my ex-lover and what I saw surprised me. My oldest son was holding my oldest daughter back and at the same time holding a stake to his father's throat. "MASON DIMITRI IVASHKOV!"

My son and daughter looked over at me and AJ looked scared. "Alissa? Are you okay?"

AJ let go of her brother and launched herself at me. "I almost killed him." She whispered in my ear. "Mason stopped me."

I looked at my son. "If he stopped you, why is he holding a stake to Hugo's throat?"

Mason looked at me with pure hate. "He was going to sneak away."

I looked over at Hugo. "After everything you did, you weren't even going to own up to it?"

"I still don't think I did anything wrong."

"You abused your daughter!"

"How do I know she is even my daughter?"

AJ let out a maniacal laugh. "Are you kidding me? I look just like you!"

"Last time I checked... I didn't look like a Strigoi."

"Allow me to change that."

I held my daughter back. "Don't even think about it Alissa Janine."

She sighed. "I just want him pay."

"I know you do sweetheart, but remember, hurting him is worse them him hurting you. He is a Moroi." I looked at the guard. "And you are just standing here?"

He shrugged. "You said to protect her... I think she was doing pretty good on her own..."

I rolled my eyes. "Take him to the dungeon."

"Yes, Ma'am."

I watched them walk away and then turned to look at my eldest children. "What the hell were you two thinking?"

"Mom we..."

I stared down my little girl. "You what? What if you had gone to prison?" I looked at my son. "And now, you have a baby to think about..."

AJ looked confused. "Baby?"

Mason sighed. "Elaine is pregnant."

"Oh my Gosh! Why didn't you tell me?" A pained look crossed Mason's face and AJ looked down. "Oh... I see."

"I'm just worried until we know what is going on with you, but AJ, I am going to be coming to you so much, I don't know what to do with a baby!"

AJ gave her brother a small smile. "Come with me. I'll show you."

Mason took his sister's hand and together they walked towards her room. I took a deep breath and sighed. Hopefully everything was going to be okay for once.

Well, that is Chapter 35... I hoped you liked it! See you all next week!
