I do not own VA or the characters. Aradessa and the thoughts are mine 3

Author's note: sorry to do this I hate these things. I just wanted to thank you for all your comments and apologize for not updating sooner. I have been so busy with my senior year of high school and wedding planning :)

The rest of the day went by uneventfully. the classes were boring and dragged on. The second the bell rang I ran out and rushed to my car to wait for Lissa. About five minutes later her and Christian walked to my car slowly. I honked my horn impatiently and Lissa rolled her eyes and Christian flipped me off. Lissa came around to my side.

"Hey Rose, can Christian catch a ride with us, he is coming to the house to hang out"

"I don't care just hurry up and get in, I want to go home." I snapped, causing her to roll her eyes and laugh. They got in quickly and I drove away impatient to see my daughter.

" so why does Bitch here, live with you?" Christian asked Lissa.

" Christian be nice, Rose is my cousin... And it's kind of complicated. Her parents aren't very nice so my parents took her in." she explained and he shut up. I slammed my door before walking in the house, greeted by a crying baby. I reached out to hold her and she quickly quieted down, cuddling into me. God, she was perfect.

" hey beautiful, mommy missed you." I cooed to her before giving Rhea a hug. "Thank you auntie, how was she today?" I realized Christian was staring at me.

" Rose I told you, she was great and you have nothing to worry about. She just got up from her nap."

" You have a daughter? She is beautiful!" Christian smiled at her. "Can I hold her? " I nodded, handing her over while he smiled adoringly. He handed her back.

"Well, I am taking her to the store before I have work. I'm craving ice cream." Lissa rolled her eyes at me and laughed. "Are you still up for watching Dessa tonight?"

"Yeah Rose, stop worrying." Lissa said. To be honest Lissa was more of a sister then a cousin. She even called Dess her niece. I grabbed my keys and put Aradessa in her car seat before driving to the store. when we got there I got out and we went into the store. I looked down at my beautiful girl before running into someone. Dessa immediately started crying.

" I am so... Mr. Belikov?" I said surprised. " I am so sorry I wasn't paying attention." I blushed seeing my gym teacher. He really was handsome. I bounced Dessa up and down to get her to calm."

" It's okay, Rose. Who is this little one?" he asked me, smiling And not taking his eyes off of her.

" This is Aradessa Nyleyy Hathaway, my daughter." I said shyly, waiting for the insults to come.

" She is beautiful, just like her mother. Hi sweetheart, you are so beautiful. You look just like your momma, принцесса. how old is she Roza?"

"She is two months, and Roza?" he actually blushed.

"It's your name in Russian. And принцесса means princess." I smiled. " if it's not to personal, where is her father?" I sighed.

" He isn't in her life. He didn't want her sadly, though she has a lot of love, huh beautiful? With great Aunt Rhea and Uncle Eric? And Lissa and Andre and momma. You have a lot of love beautiful." she giggled causing both Dimitri and I to smile.
