- Shiet, I know it's been like forever and I apologize. LOL You've probably killed me 100 times in your mind. This chapter isn't really anything excitng and that's my bad. ;/ Hope you kinda like it though. ",

Dimitri's POV. Time with the wife.

When I got up, the brightness of the room immediately hurt my eyes. I groaned and got up to close the blinds. The long flight we were on last night had messed with our sleeping patterns.

"Much better," I mumbled and got back in bed. Rose walked in a minute later holding a tray. She noticed the darkness straight away.

"Couldn't handle the light?" she smirked, setting the tray in the bedside table. I rubbed my eyes.

"I normally can?" I asked. Rose placed the tray in the bedside table.

"And you probably still would if you didn't get so plastered last night," I told him. I groaned.

"I didn't do anything stupid, did I?" I answered. Rose shook her head.

"You yelled "how are you toing" at Lissa. You even have great self-control when you're drunk!" I dunno if it was me, but she sounded a bit jealous.

"Better then, I dunno, flashing someone?" I asked. She grinned.

"I would have loved that. I don't think the person you would have been doing it to would have," she said, giggling. I laughed. Of course she would have. She handed me a glass of water and two Panadole tablets. I gave her an apreciative look because there was still a bit of light seeping throught the blinds and because of it, my headache is now worse. That's when something hit me.

"You wouldn't have opened those blinds on purspose, would you?" I asked her. She kept her Guardian mask in place. Normally, I was proud of how much control she had with her mask, but in the particular situation, it annoyed me.

"What would you do if I said yes?" she asked me. I looked at her and shook my head.

"You big meanie," I told her softly, poking my tongue at her.

"So, husband, what is on the adjenda today?" Rose asked me, changing the subject. My heart jumped when she said the word 'husband'. I grinned and pulled her to me.

"Hmm. How does sitting in front of the fireplace sound?" I asked her. I vaguely remember seeing a fireplace one of the rooms Rose showed me last night. She smiled.

"That headache is really bugging you, isn't it?" she smiled. This woman could read me like a book, I'm sure of it.

"Maybe," I smiled, getting up and walking around the bed to the my one and only. She held her hand out to me, expecting me to only help her off the bed. Instead, I picked her up bridal style.

"Aww, no. Put us down, we're too heavy," she complained, hiding her face in my shoulder.

"Mrs Belikov, are you calling me weak?" I asked her, smiling. Her head snapped up.

"Oh, no. I would never commit such a crime," she grinned. I beamed back at her. I walked the way remembered from last night and came to the room. That's what confused me. There was a room just for the fireplace and a sofa. There was a coffee table a few paces before the fireplace, though. I set Rose down and sat beside her.

"What's with this room? It's the first of it's kind I've ever seen," I said.

"From what I can rememeber from back in the day, Lissa's parents took a part of the dining room to make this one because the dining room was too big. Also because Lissa's Mum wanted something romantic in the house," she explained. I nodded.

"Huh." Interesting. I would have thought about it more, but I realised that the fire wasn't going. There was already wood stacked up beside the fireplace so I grabbed some of that along with some newspaper and the fire was going in no time.

"We should go camping some time," Rose said as I sat beside her again.

"What makes you say that?" I replied.

"You looked like a natural while you were doing the fire and it just got me thinking," she told me.

"And I'm sure Cabe would enjoy it," she added. I stared at the flames.

"Yeah. I think we should do that before the babies come. Well, and before Cabe goes back to school." As I said 'babies', I turned towards Rose. She sat up and I moved so my legs were on either side of her. She rested her head on my shoulder and I placed my hands on her sexy bump. She laced one of her hands in mine and traced random patterns over her bump with the other.

We chatted for a while. Some small talk and making decisions about our upcoming camping trip.

"When should we go?" Rose asked.

"Christmas," I replied. She smiled.

"Warm or cold?" I thought about that. I couldn't make up my mind.

"Why don't we let Cabe decide?"

"Great idea."

We sat in a comfortable silence for a while.

"Did you feel that?" Rose asked, breaking the silence.

"What?" I asked. She moved my hands from the top of her belly to the bottom. I felt it all right. Both of the babies were kicking away. A grin spread across my face.

"Whoa! They'll both be soccer players by the feel of it," I said.

"They're strong all right," she replied.

"They have two badass parents, that's why," I told her.

"That could be a reason," she mused.

We sat there for a while, until the babies stopped kicking.

"Babe, wanna go for a quick walk around the block?" Rose asked.

"You up to it?" I asked her. She nodded and we got up.

We got dressed and made our way out of the house. Rose grabbed my hand and we walked along in a comfortable silence for a bit. She started grinning.

"The babies are kicking away again," she said, placing my hands on the lower part of her bump. Sure enough, they were going at it again.

"They're going crazy. What are you thinking about?" I asked her. She started blushing.

"The night they were concieved," she admited. I burst out laughing.

"Hormones?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"I don't think so, Comrade," she replied.

"Would you like to exctort me back to the house?" I asked.

"I would love to eff you, Daddy," she grinned misheviously.

The things this woman could to me without even touching are beyond this world.

- Well like I said, it's boring. haha Hope the next chapter is better . :/
