Hey babes! I'm just here to post the FIRST OUTTAKE for Meet Me In The Moonlight. This outtake is just focusing on the wedding, and a set-up for the next one! Now, I'm not making any promises about when the outtakes will be posted, or the length of them (since they are many drabbles of big moments in life.) but this one was just over 800 words, making it just shy of a chapter's length. Anyway, read on and enjoy!


Meet Me In The Moonlight

Outtake 1

"The couple has chosen to write their own vows."

The pastor then turned to Dimitri and asked him to speak first.

"My Roza, you are indescribable. But, for you, I'd try anything. I'll start with the fact that you are a force this world was unprepared for. When you set your mind to something, it doesn't deter itself until you have accomplished anything you want. You are strong, passionate, and fierce. You are kind, loving, and everything I want or need. You gave me hope in the most hopeless of times of my life. You gave me light when all I saw was dark. I remember us as children, and no matter what, this spot right here where you would meet me, every night, in the moonlight. I promise you that I will stay by your side, through all you face. I promise to lift you up, and carry you when you can't carry yourself. I will fight by your side, because that's one of the many things you excel at. I know I was never a man of many words, and I may not be now, but I know I only need three to tell you how I feel. Those words are I love you."

The vows brought tears to Rose's eyes, and a smile to her face. Dimitri pried his hand away from Rose's long enough to wipe away the tear that had escaped.

Don't cry, my Roza. He mouthed to her.

"Rose, your vows."

"Dimitri, we have faced many impossible things. In times of fear, when I would flee from everything I knew, you would somehow follow me, and always find your way back to my side. You pick me up when I'm down and stand by me in my times of need. You dry my tears and help me with Bee, because we all know I couldn't do it alone." At this, everyone gets a slight chuckle. "You give me everything I need, everything I want, and so much more. And so, I promise to love you until the end, whenever that may be. I promise to stand by your side, and support your decisions, even if I don't agree with them. I promise to be faithful to you, because you make me a better person. And with three words, I give myself to you in every way possible. I love you Dimitri."

Now it is Rose's turn to pry a hand from Dimitri's long enough to wipe away a tear that has disappeared from his eyes and begun running down his cheek. The pastor then gestures for Bee, who is now a 4-year-old little girl obsessed with her family's horses, to step forward with the rings. When she does, she first hands her father's gold wedding band to her mother. The pastor had Rose repeat the words "with this ring, I thee wed" to Dimitri as she slides his band into place on his finger. Then, Bee hands her mother's gold wedding band to her father. He repeats the same words, eyes never leaving Rose's, as he slides the ring home.

"I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Before Dimitri gets the chance to pick Rose up, she has jumped up into his arms, which have found their home around her waist. Her own arms slide into place around his neck. Their eyes lock momentarily before their lips collide in a sweetly passionate kiss. They stay that way until Dimitri feels a slight tugging on his pant leg, and he pulls away long enough to see Bee, hand firmly grasped onto his pants. Dimitri gently sets his wife back down before turning and lifting his daughter into his arms.

"Do I get a kiss Daddy?" Bee asks in her tinkly little voice.

Dimitri quickly turns to Rose, a mischievous gleam in his eye. Quickly, she catches on and decides to play along.

"I guess you can have a kiss milaya." Just as the words escape his lips, both Rose and Dimitri lean in and kiss their daughter on her cheeks. Her high-pitched giggle dances among the trees surrounding the wedding party, her eyes alight with joy and happiness.

"I love you too, my princessa." Dimitri says to his girls.

"I love you too Daddy!"

"And I love both, my cuddle-bug and my jumping bean." Rose faintly says to her daughter and husband.

"I now present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Dimitri Belikov!" The pastor's voice rings out.

Before Dimitri can register what Rose has just said, she takes Bee from his arms, and turns to him, one hand extended.

When he takes it, she gently pulls his down the aisle and away from any extra viewers.

"Are you-?"

Dimitri's question is cut off as Rose places a gentle kiss on his lips.

"Yes. I'm pregnant."
