Haven't updated my one-shots in a while so here's on that literally popped in my head about an hour ago. Hope you like it.

Five (One-shot)

Rose's P.O.V

Five minutes for him to ask, and for me to say yes.

As Dimitri got down on one knee I was shocked, my brain somehow knew what was happening yet it didn't want to believe it. I was happy, yet dhampirs usually don't marry – much less each other but he was. Or at least I think.

"…Rosemarie Hathaway will you marry me?" I wasn't even realizing he was saying something sweet, kind and beautiful about me. Hell I didn't even know he was talking till he asked that question. Then my brain just happened to click back on, and for a minute I stumbled. I wanted to scream "YES!" yet my lips weren't functioning so instead of words I kissed him.

It was a deep kiss – one that wasn't filled with lust or anything sexual really. One filled with love and only love. Just to tell him….

"Yes." I whispered against his lips.

Five minutes for me to tell everyone.

"Oh my god!" Lissa squealed while looking at my ring Dimitri gave me a couple of minutes ago. "It's so gorgeous!" She said. I nodded excitedly as she wrapped her arms around my, her bulging stomach in our way.

"I'm so happy for you and Dimitri!" She said pulling back, she held my hands. "You have to tell everyone! Scream it from the rooftops with a bullhorn or put it on a poster and plaster around court." I laughed – that's what Lissa did when Christian asked her.

"Well let's start off small – let's tell my parents and then the whole world!" She squealed again.

"I have to get this on camera." She said smiling from ear to ear.

"Just wait – I have some unfinished business with Dimitri." I said smirking so she got the point. She lightly hit my arm.

"Save it for the honeymoon." She said.

"Don't worry it'll only take five minutes."

Five months to get the wedding together.

"It's perfect Lissa, I couldn't imagine anything better." I said to comfort her. She was my wedding planner, that plus her already busy schedule with being a queen and a new mother was tough but I wanted a long engagement, I didn't really care when we got married as long as we did. Plus when we do I wanted it to be perfect, like it is.

"Okay whatever you say, you're the bride. I believe everyone's here, wait no Mia and Eddie aren't here yet!" She said and then grabbed her phone and started dialing numbers. I giggled as I straightened out my dress. I looked over at Blaire – Christian and Lissa's adorable daughter.

"Your mommy is such a perfectionist." She only giggled from her little basket she was in. All dressed up from the flower girl position in me and Dimitri's wedding.

"Okay Eddie and Mia are on their way. They got caught up in traffic."

"Yeah right, they live three minutes from here they could of walked." I scoffed but I wasn't mad actually I was quite giddy from it. Eddie and Mia was a 'thing' now. It was the worse kept secret at court, everyone knew yet no one said.

"Great I just got word that they're here. Great that makes everyone!" Lissa said. I wanted a small intimate wedding only family and some friends no everyone and their mothers. I smiled at Lissa as my stomach thumbed in my chest.

"This is it." I said. She nodded and gave me another once over before getting everyone in their positions. I smiled again as my father came next to me – he whispered comforting words in my ear that made me feel better and then we were off, to marry the man of my dreams.

Five Days to enjoy our honeymoon.

I was out of my wedding dress into a sexy black lace dress that didn't even cover my butt. I was nervous but it wasn't like I hadn't had sex with Dimitri before. I have – but this is more…official now. I'm more nervous here than I was when I lost it to him so many years ago. I smiled in the reflection and walked out the bathroom to meet him. His back was to me but he turned around once I entered the room. The smile he gave me was heart stopping. Soon I was in his embrace, just kissing him in the middle of the room.

It was filled with every emotion – happiness, love, lust and desire. He picked me up without breaking the kiss and gently put me on the bed. His hands roaming underneath my dress, messaging dangerous areas. I let out a moan as his hands caressed me like a fine sculpture he was making. The night consisted of love and lust, just the way I wanted it to be.

Five hours for everything to take an unexpected turn.

The hotel door had some annoying person at the other side banging on the door. Dimitri

and I guardian reflexes instantly kicked in. Even if we were enjoying our honeymoon we always had to be alert. We both got up and put some clothes on in record time and answered the door.

A hotel worker – I believe his name was Alex started babbling in Russian, tears running down his face and some cuts and scrapes on his face and his clothes ripped. He was moroi and skinny, plus he seemed nice. Who would want to hurt him? Then the nausea feeling crept back up but Dimitri already knew by Alex's words. He quickly grabbed Alex and pulled him into our room the moment the strigoi hurled at him. Alex quickly hid in our bathroom. Me and Dimitri got our stakes and Dimitri staked the strigoi quickly.

But there were more, I could feel it. Just then several strigoi came in our room all circling us.

Five Strigoi to make two guardians panic

We both worked efficiently going back to back as we tried to kill as many as possible yet they were coming all at once. I saw one go into the bathroom – finishing off Alex, I couldn't even think to protect him since they made a circle around us blocking us from the moroi. I took down one while Dimitri two and we only had two left but they were strong and old.

One grabbed me and flung me across the room making me hit the lamp and having the shards bury in my back, making me drop my stake. Inexplicable pain shot through me and before I could move the strigoi was on me again. Ready for the kill. Dimitri – my hero came and turned the strigoi around and staked it he was about to get me before the one strigoi left took my stake – which burnt him and stabbed it through Dimitri's stomach. The strigoi let out a cry full of pain and joy and as I saw my love fall to the ground I took his stake and with all my might killed the last strigoi. He fell to my feet and seconds later I fell next to my lover.

He was still holding on – barely. I managed to sit up and drag him with me so we both were propped up on the bed. I took the stake out of him before tossing it across the room. I looked at the gapping hole in his stomach and began to cry softly.

"Don't cry." He said but his voice was soft, barely there. He gently stroked my hair as my cries got even worse. I couldn't imagine life without him. I looked at him and I stopped my cries as I brought our lips together for the first time. But he was fading and the kiss soon got weaker till nothing…

Five Seconds till I realized I can't live without him.

As I lay next to his body, I felt numb. Both physically and emotionally. Dimitri was dead and the moment his heart stopped beating I knew mine did to. Silent tears ran down my face as I held his limp hand. Never letting go – I can't let go. Never ever let go! I wanted to die next to him – never waking up and both of us can spend eternity together, blocking out the living world and it'll just be us – together. More tears ran down my face. I gripped his hand tighter.

"I love you." I whispered.

After a few more hours the sun started to rise and I heard the voices of people in the hallway. I hope it's more strigoi – so they can finish me off. Yet it wasn't.

I heard more people and someone came into the room. It was a man, late forties, dhampir and most likely guardian.

He looked down at me with pity before speaking.

"Rosemarie Belikova?" More tears.

"The queen as summoned us to come get you..." I knew he also wanted to say Dimitri too but since he was dead next to me. "To take you back to court." I didn't move because inside I was having a revelation.

Five seconds to learn that Lissa needs me.

After I left the hotel room, got cleaned up and checked out the nurse on the jet gave me a clean bill of health along with some other stuff but I wasn't listening I was still numb. I was lucky to know that Lissa was okay – even if we were oceans away I till took comfort in knowing she was fine even though the strigoi didn't attack her or the court. Just the moroi hotel.

Apparently some idiot didn't take good care of the wards and some dumbass humans staked the wards. It took a lot though, around seven for them to finally penetrate the wards since it was heavily guarded. The attacked killed around thirty people – including my Dimitri. Since we were already in Russia his family got the news pretty quick. First learning that your son's alive and dead again. That's hell I know – I'm going through it too.

When we reached court I was met with hugs and sorrow. People giving me their condolences. I was only married for about ten days and I was already a widow.

I planned for this day to be Lissa grilling me about details of me and Dimitri's honeymoon – not me sobbing on her shoulder. But that's what I was doing.

Five weeks for me to figure out Dimitri wanted me to live on.

Five men to figure out no one can replace him.

Five weeks of lonely nights of me sobbing into my pillow screaming out his name.

Five months of actually seeking out for help but finding none.

Five years to finally get into another battle with strigoi.

Five months to meet my fate.

Five minutes to be reunited with my love.

Five seconds to know I'm whole again.

AN – Incase you don't get the last part each event happens right after the next one. Like Five months to do this and after those months the five minute event comes up. So jest clearing that up.
