ADRIAN'S POV

I woke up that morning with my head pounding. I guess having someone slam your head into a wall does that to you. I rolled over to see Viktoria snoozing quietly beside me. I rolled out of bed, careful not to wake her, but the moment I moved, her eyes fluttered and opened.

"Hey." I whispered. She smiled, and rubbed her eyes.

"Goodmorning, How long have you been up?"

"Not long, just a few minutes. I was trying not to wake you." I told her.

"Nice try. I'm not a hard sleeper."

"I can see that." I said, sitting back down on the edge of the bed. She reached up, and touched the back of my head gently.

"How are you feeling?" She asked. I flinched as her fingers hit my tender spot. She frowned.

"I'm okay. My head hurts a little, but I'll live." She nodded.

"I'll get you some aspirin." She said. I shook my head.

"I can get it. Where is it?" She smiled, and got out of bed, walking into her bathroom.

"You don't listen well, do you?" I asked.

"I only listen on rare occasions, this not being one of them." She said, throwing me that beautiful smile of hers. As she started into the bathroom, I grabbed her hand, and pulled her back to me.

"Where's my good morning kiss, Ms. Belikov?" I asked, smiling.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Lord Ivashkov." She said, pressing her lips to mine gently. I could still tell she was being hesitant with me, trying to keep from hurting me. Ugh, the Belikov women always worried about me. They'd all drive me mad, I swear. When she pulled away, she smiled.

"Forgive me?"

"Of course." I said, winking at her. She walked into the bathroom, and pulled a bottle of Tylenol from the cabinet, and handed me two of them, and a glass of water. I took them and sat the glass back down.

"How are you doing? You were pretty beat last night." I said. She shrugged.

"I slept it off. I'm fine now."

"Are you sure?" I asked her. She nodded. When she turned and started away from me, I could see she was sort of limping.

"Tori, I don't take well to liars." I said. She smiled impishly.

"My ankle hurts a little bit. I'll live."

"I could fix it." I murmured.

"No, I don't want you to hurt yourself trying to help me. I'll be fine. I promise." She said. I growled.

"Why is it you Belikov women are always so against me healing you?" I asked, walking over to her as she sat down on the bed. I walked over to her, and frowned.

"Please… you've done so much for me. Please, let me fix it." I murmured. She shook her head.

"You gave me my life back. The more you do for me, just makes me feel like I owe you more and more." She said. She looked down at her hands, careful not to look at me. I pulled her face up to meet my gaze.

"Please? Let me help you." I whispered. She took a deep breath, and nodded. I took her ankle in my hand, and closed my eyes, letting my magic flow through her. She grinned when I released her.

"Thank you." She murmured, touching my face. She pulled my mouth to hers, kissing me sweetly. I smiled against her lips, as her tongue ran across my bottom lip. I opened my mouth wider, letting more of her in. When she pulled away, she smiled.

"I love you, Adrian. I'm so glad I found you."

"I love you too, and believe me… I'm glad you found me too." I whispered, pulling her into my arms.

ROSE'S POV

When I woke up the next morning, I was so sore. It felt like every part of my body ached. I groaned as I rolled over to face Dimitri. He smiled.

"Sore?"

"Very."

"Me too. Everything hurts." He said. I nodded.

"I know how you feel." I said, as I sat up, rubbing my neck. He smiled, and pulled me into his arms. I laid my head against his chest, and sighed.

"How are you feeling, besides being sore and all?"

"I'm alright." I murmured. He nodded.

"That's good."

"What about you?" I asked, looking up to meet his eyes. He shrugged.

"As long as you're okay, I'm good." He murmured into my hair.

"I need to get a shower, and then go talk to Viktoria." He shook his head, and wrapped his arms tight around my body.

"Nope, you're not going anywhere. Your mine today." He said, pressing a kiss to my neck. I smiled.

"You don't know how much I wish I could." I said.

"Roza, you don't have to go anywhere. You can always worry about Adrian and Viktoria later." He told me.

"I know, it's just-." He cut me off by pressing his lips to mine, kissing me all too persuasively.

"Okay… maybe they can wait till later." I whispered against his mouth. He chuckled as he kissed down my jaw, and neck.

"That's my girl." He whispered against my skin, causing me to shudder. He took my hands in his, and pulled me to sit up. "Come on."

"Where are we going?" I asked. He smiled, and pulled me into the bathroom, turning on the water in our bathtub. I grinned at him.

"Oh... I see where this is going." I said. He rolled his eyes at me. He walked over to me, and grabbed the brim of my shirt, carefully bringing it over my head. He let his hands trace down my body as he threw it to the floor. My muscles hurt like crazy, but he numbed every feeling in my body, except the fire coursing through my veins at his hand. I pulled his shirt off over his head, throwing it to the floor. We worked our way out of the rest of our clothes, and got into the bathtub. I lay against his chest, and sighed. The water helped unknot the kinks in my back. Dimitri rubbing my shoulders definitely helped a lot too.

"Feeling better?" He asked.

"Mhmm." I murmured. He chuckled.

"Good. You fought hard yesterday."

"When do I not fight hard?" I asked, grinning. He nodded and kissed the back of my head.

"Touché."

"I miss this, being able to do this with you. I'm glad you talked me into staying." I murmured.

"It didn't take much convincing." He said, pressing a kiss to my collar bone.

"Yeah, shut up. Let's not talk about this stupid power you have over me." I muttered. He chuckled.

"I love you, Roza."

"I love you too, Comrade." I murmured. I could hear the smile in his voice.

"I still remember the first time you called me that."

"The day that changed my life forever." I told him. He pressed a kiss to my neck.

"I'd have to agree."

"You have too, your married to me." I said. He grinned.

"People get divorces, remember?"

"You're not getting rid of me that easily." I quoted him.

"Yeah, yeah." He muttered. I shook my head.

"I can't even picture my life without you anymore. I'm scared to think of what it would be like."

"Me too." He murmured. I smiled and laid my head against his shoulder.

"I'm so glad everything is back to normal."

"Normal, kind of." He said.

"Yeah, but I guess kind of is better than not even close to normal." I told him. He nodded in agreement.

"True." I laid back and sighed.

"I'm so happy everything has just sort of calmed down. I needed a break."

"You always need a break Roza, but you never actually take one. You keep going, always trying to make everything better." He said.

"It's my job to help people."

"But when you're doing all the helping, who's going to be there to help you?" He asked me.

"You're always there to help me."

"No, most of the time you won't let me help you. You have to do it all on your own." He said.

"I'm a Hathaway, it's what I do. You should have known that when you married me."

"I did. That's why I married you. It makes you strong, ruthless in everything you do. I married you because you had this fire in you that no one else has. It drew me to you like a moth to a flame since day one." He said. It made my heart swell when he talked like this.

"Can I ask you something?" I murmured.

"Of course, Roza."

"If you knew that all of this stuff was going to happen, like Bailey and darkness, our baby dying, me almost dying, us fighting, if you could go back, would you change marrying me? Would you take it all back?" I whispered. I remembered him saying something about this when he was drunk a while back, and it had eat at me since then. He chuckled, and pressed his lips to my collar bone.

"If I knew then, what I know now, I'd still fall in love."
