Chapter 4
DIMITRI POV
I have been worried ever since Tasha got that invitation to Princess Vasilissa Dragomir and Christian Ozera's wedding. The second I left Rose I knew it was the wrong decision.
I was leaning against the counter when rose came down the stairs. She was stunning. It was like looking at her for the first time. She was wearing dark black lulu lemon pants that hugged her curves and a tight white and red sweater. Her long dark hair was to her waist GOD DAMN she looked good. I hoped that the look on my face wasn't giving anything away. Rose could read me so easily, but she wasn't looking at me. I was so mesmerized by her that I did not see the too little girls standing on either side of her holding both her hands.
They looked like her and someone else I recognized but I could not figure out exactly who it was. No! She had sex with someone, how could she just get herself knocked up? FUCK. I am so pissed off. But why should I care I left her right? I was the one who could have stayed and protected her. "Hello Rose" I said in a calm voice so that she doesn't notice that I am exceedingly mad. "Hi Guardian Belikov" she replied extremely harsh. She has never called me that, even when we first met. Now I wish she would have called me comrade for once. She looked at her daughter, the little one with short hair said "Hello Guardian Belikov I am Valeriya it's a pleasure to meet you" then the one a bit taller with long hair said "And I am Alena it is nice to meet you Guardian Belikov" and she stuck her little hand out. "It is nice to meet you too Valeriya and Alena" I shook their warm little hands.
I looked up at Rose and said "Rose I did not know you had two lovely children" "Well you could have known if you didn't leave" I heard her whisper so that only I could hear. She went to the fridge and got out some milk and cereal for the girls. I never took my eyes off her. Just then Tasha came walking in "ROSE!" she squealed.
Where do I begin, Tasha is a great friend and guarding her has been fun but everyday she reminds me that I left the only person I have ever loved. Rose. "Oh My goodness they are soooo cute Rose, who's the father?" she asked. That's when I started to pay more attention. Yeah tell her Rose, I would love to know so I can find him and smash his face in. No Dimitri you lost her, game over, done. No more Rose. I have to move on... she obviously has. "Just some random Moroi I met at a bar one night, I was really drunk." Control yourself Belikov I thought. This stupid Moroi guy slept with rose and left her with two children. I guess I kind of did the same thing but without the children.
"Mommy can we go and play now, I finished all the cereals... see look" I heard a little voice say "Ok Alena, Valeriya go along" "Can Guardian Belikov come to?" Val asked "No I'm sure he has other things to do" rose said. I was surprised that this little girl I just met wanted to play with me. I'm sure rose needs a break. "No Rose it's fine I can play with them, besides Tasha wanted to go shopping for a few things" I said "Oh and by the way Rose you look good" I whispered. Maybe I shouldn't have said it but she had to know and then I swear I saw her blush. Every time I look at her I still get that electric connection, I wonder if she gets it to. Probably not... I walked away holding Valeriya and Alena's little hands. This is going to be a fun two weeks.
ROSE POV
When I got upstairs I found Lissa Sitting on her bed. "Lissa why did you leave me downstairs with them, I thought you would be there with me!" She quickly said "sorry rose I thought it would be better for you".
DIMITRI POV
I was downstairs with Valeriya and Alena. They look so familiar. I mean they look like Rose but also someone else I just can't quite put my finger on who. But Rose said it was some random Moroi guy. "Hey guardian Belikov do you wanna have a tea party with me." Valeriya asked before I could answer "I want to play tooooo" Alena said "Ok girls but you can call me Dimitri." "Ok Dimitri how come mommy said you was so important upstairs?" Wow I didn't expect that kind of question from a three year old. "Well Alena your mom and I used to be friends, very good friends and I used to train her to fight when she was at St. Vladimir's Academy." "Ohh, I want to fight when I'm older just like my momma" Valeriya shouted "can you teach me like you taught my mommy" "That's good, Valeriya you are a lot like your mother you will be a great guardian and I can teach you when you are older" I said laughing. I was about to ask Alena if she wants to be a guardian but then I looked over and she was sitting there crying. "Alena are you ok?" I said and lifted her onto my lap, she hugged me very tightly. "I...I...I don't want mommy to die or get...get hurted" she sniffed "Alena everything is alright your mom is one of the best guardians I know ...and she is upstairs, no one is going to hurt her." When I looked up I saw Rose standing right in front of me.
ROSE POV
I was walking into the playroom to get the girls ready for preschool and I heard crying. I stepped in the room and saw Valeriya pointing to Alena. She was sitting on Dimitri's lap crying and holding on to him. "Alena are you alright sweetie?" I asked gently" "Momma I don't want you to get hurt, I know you love auntie Lissa but you could die guarding her" she cried. I brought her onto my lap and Valeriya climbed up onto Dimitri's. I thought for a split second that maybe I should tell him, Valeriya looks so peaceful sitting there on his lap. "Cause Dimitri say that you fight and are a guardian and guardians die" she cried even harder.
I looked at Dimitri and he looked at me and I felt the fire between us. I looked down and said "I pinkie promise that I will never leave you and Valeriya, I will always be here for you and I love you both very much. I think today I won't take you to school, one day off won't hurt." "YAY"! Val cheered almost punching Dimitri in the face. "Ok Alena what do you want to do today?" Dimitri asked. "Umm I want to play with mommy cause I never get to play with her" she replied. "Well mommy can play all day with you guys"
"YAY"! I got up and hugged my twin girls "Oh and mommy can Dimitri come too?" Alena sniffed and looked at me, "umm sure if it is ok with him." I looked at him and he was grinning "Yes I will come". Why was he smiling he left me for that BITCH Tasha! Val asked Alena where she wanted to go and then they ran off to decide in their clubhouse. The clubhouse was a red tent that Lissa bought them. And now It was just Dimitri and me alone. It was awkward very awkward not like before when it was comfortable. "So Rose you have lovely children, Valeriya wants to be a guardian like you. She asked me to teach her how to fight." He said "Yea they are both great and I will be the one to teach them to fight even though I did learn all my techniques from you" I can't believe I said that. "Oh Rose I've missed you" he said. "Yea I ..." I was cut off by my daughter Alena holding a bucket and shovel. "We decided to go to the park." She explained excitedly.
