Sorry this chapter was so late, busy week. Just to clarify, Rose can have children because she is shadow kissed and she hangs on to the life she can get because she already died, like Victor said. This is a popular explanation, and sorry I didn't include that. Now to the story.

I wake up on my couch to find Lissa and Christian in the Lazy boy, passed out. Everyone must have crashed here after our movie night yesterday. I get up from the couch and walk back into Alexandra's room. I see that both Rhea and Alex are under the covers, sleeping. I look at the clock and see that it is 7:15 pm. School starts in 45 minutes. I gently shake the girls and try to wake them up.

"Come one girls, we have to get you to school in 45 minutes. Wakie Wakie." Alex jumps out of the bed and starts rifling through her closet.

"I have to ask Guardian Alto about my project before school, and its due tomorrow. Crap crap crap crap." She says as she runs into the bathroom to change. I laugh, she is a much better student than I ever was. Rhea soon gets up and looks in Alexandra's closet for something to wear.

After both of the girls are changed and have eaten breakfast, it is 7:40.

"Come on, today I'll drive you to school." I say as I walk out of the house and lock the door. We hop into the car, and I pull up at the school. "I'll pick you guys up with Lissa after school." I wave and they jump out of the car.

"Bye mom!" She yells over her shoulder.

"Bye Rose." Rhea says as she shuts the door and I drive away. I walk back inside the house to find Christian awake and cooking breakfast.

"Good morning Pyro." I tease, and watch him cook. He ignores my comment, and Lissa walks up behind us. He comes over, and gives her a kiss.

"Oh, Rose, Alberta told me to tell you that she would like to meet with you today." Lissa said to me.

"Ok, do you mind if I go down after we eat?" I asked as I sat down at the table as Christian places omelets in front of us.

"No not at all, I'll meet you at lunch." Lissa said.

"Thanks Christian."

"Wow, the almighty Rose Hathaway said thankyou. I can die a happy man." He placed a hand over his heart and faked awe. I punched him in the shoulder.

After we ate, I walked down to the office. I walked into Alberta's office, ignoring the receptionist who was running after me. I knocked on the door, and it opens to reveal Dimitri. He starts to walk away when Alberta calls after him.

"Wait Guardian Belikov, I need to talk to you both." He turns around and comes back inside the office.

"I would like you two to teach a gym class, a few of the guardians got reassigned, and I need you to step in." Oh god. Dimitri's eyes go wide, and he looks as pissed off as I feel.

"But, I can't-"

"Rose, I need this. You two are the only people I can ask, and you're the best guardians." Alberta was not one to beg, but this seemed urgent.

"Ok, I'll do it." I sighed.

"So will I." Dimitri said.

"But, when do we start?" I asked.

'I was thinking as soon as possible, and the first gym class is second period, so…"

"Ok." Dmitri and I said. I pulled out my phone and texted Lissa. 'Hey I have to teach a gym class as of 5 minutes ago, and will see you at lunch.' 'Cool, see you later.' she sent through the bond. Dimitri and I walked out of the office, and to the gym.

"Ready for work, partner." Dimitri said with a little sarcasm. Wow, I didn't know that he would ever drop the stoic guardian and zen lesson bulshit.

"Dimitri, just because I said that I'd try to forgive you doesn't mean that I like you." I said. He sighed. I opened the gym doors to reveal a crowd of novices, all in assigned seats.

"Hello, I'm Rose Hathaway,"

"and I'm Dimitri Belikov." We spoke loudly, and all conversation stopped.

"You will address us as Guardian Hathaway and Guardian Belikov, am I clear." I said, using my Guardian voice.

"Yes mam." They said in unison.

"We are your new gym teachers, your old ones left." Dimitri said.

"Lets do basic level combat, and we'll progress from there." They got up and onto the mats used for sparring, and started to fight. I walked around, examining their form. Two of the boys stopped fighting, and came up to me.

"We would like to see how good you are at taking on two guys at the same time." One said, trying to sound seductive.

"So you want to fight me?" I asked. They nodded, and I walked onto the mats. I heard Dimitri come up behind me. "I've got this." I whispered. I got into my fighting position, and the boys got in there fighting positions. They came at me at the same time, one trying to punch me in the gut, and the other went for my jaw. I punched one of them in the gut and sweeped the others legs out. As soon as he was down, I kicked his side, and he stopped trying to get up. The other went for my feet, trying to trip me. I leaped backwards and waited for him to came at me again. When he did, I punched him in the gut, and then kicked his knee. He fell back on the mat, and he too stopped trying to get up. I turned to the crowd that had gathered.

"Does anyone else want to try and fight me?" I asked. They all shock there heads. They continued to stand there.

"Unless somehow you can fight while in this crowd, I suggest you get back to work.

"Get, can I have a hand here." Dimitri walked over and picked up one of the boys, and I picked up the other. We walked out the doors and into the infirmary.

"What happened to him?" A nurse asks.

"Rose Hathaway." Dimitri told them. After we dropped of the boys, the bell rung, signaling the start of lunch. I made my way over to Lissa's classroom and walked in. She was sitting on the desk, and was making out with Christian.

"That was not something I wanted to see. God you two." They looked up from their... activities, and looked at me. Lissa pulled her coat back on straitened out her hair.

"Sorry Rose," she said blushing. We all sat down for lunch at her table.
