CHAPTER THREE
Rose POV
"Rose," I looked over to the doorway, where Lissa stuck her head in. Her blond hair fell over her shoulders, her jade green eyes showed concern. She was wearing a long sleeve sweater dress, and shiny silver flats that went well with her silver nail polish she had on her nicely manicured hands. She decided against wearing high heels since her feet were sore.
"Yeah," I said, as I dress Samara in a light pink dress, and white dress shoes. I combed her hair back and place a butterfly clip on the left side of her head. Adrian decided he wanted to tell his parents and his great aunt, about the kids over tonight's dinner.
"Dinner is almost done," she said. I knew she was terrified that I might yell at the queen, sometime in the night. Or possibly throw a plate at her like it was an unidentified flying object on the loose.
"Thanks. I hope everything goes alright," I said in a sigh, as I placed Damon's head into his nice light green dress shirt.
"It will, Rose. You just have to wait and see. Plus I still can tell Adrian loves you, and if he does, he would obviously stick up for you. So stop stressing, it'll be fine," she said as she came over to me and hugged me.
"Thanks, Lissa. Let's go and get tonight over with," I said, as I had the kids on each of my hips.
We walked to the elevator, and went to the first floor. Everyone was standing in the living room with a small squared glass of grape brandy with ice. I was honestly surprised to see that Adrian wasn't drinking any alcohol. As soon as he spotted the twins, he came over and took Samara out of my arms. I could tell she was going to be a daddy's girl.
"Rose," he said, as he placed a kiss on my cheek. I instantly blushed, like a bright red tomato. "You look fine this evening, Little Dhampir." I was wearing a sky blue shirt sleeve sweater dress that just went below my knees. My hair was curled and pulled back into crystal clips. I had a black pair of high heel shoes that made me slightly taller.
"Thanks, so do you." He did actually. He was wearing a nice dark violet button down dress shirt and a pair of black dress pants. His hair was still the same style that he always puts it, stylishly messy. I let my eyes roam his body; I was able to tell he had gained some more muscle in his arms. He noticed me staring, all he did was smirk, and wiggled his eyebrows at me. I looked away from him with a blush on my face.
"Dinners ready," in came a voice that I knew her as a maid. She was in her late twenties, orange hair and blue eyes, she also was a Moroi. If I remember correctly her name was Alessandria Gopher, and she was not a royal, but her father is friends with mine.
We all went into the room. The queen sat at the end, and then it was Adrian's parents were on her side; and mine on the right. Mia sat down next to my mother and Eddie next to her. Lissa sat down by Adrian's mother, with Christian right next to her. Adrian sat next to Christian; I sat down next to Eddie. Samara was at the corner closer to Adrian, while Damon was also sitting at the end, but was next to me.
Half way through dinner was polite conversation that was until dessert came out which it was a chocolate peanut butter crunch cake with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Adrian took his unused butter knife and tapped the crystal fluted glass, trying to get everyone's attention. He looked at me and smiled, he mouthed it's time. I nodded my head.
"Mom, dad, and Aunt Tatiana," he called out to them. Once he had their attention, he continued from there. "I have some good news. Rose and I are back together; also I found out that I have kids. I'm Samara's and Damon's father. So I'm going to be there for them."
The three Ivashkov, were shocked clearly written on their faces. They broke into smiles, except for Nathan, Adrian's father. His face was red, steam was coming out of his ears, and his hands were in fists.
"How dare you! Who the hell do you think you are! Passing your children off as Adrian's, that's low, even for a stupid blood whore. Who has probably slept with the entire school. He has a promising future ahead of him, and he follows you like he is a damn lost puppy. I wonder what he sees in you," he said, as he was shaking his head. Some of his grey hair fell in front of his face.
I was sitting their shocked. I couldn't more or less alone think I was just an emotional brick wall. Adrian jumped out of his seat and came right next to me. He places his hand on my shoulder and gentle squeezed. "Don't you talk say anything about her like that? I love her! I always loved her! She was the best thing that happened to me. Just because she is a Dhampir doesn't matter to me. It is her that I only want. She has my heart and I have her heart." He gave me a small kiss on my forehead.
"Why, didn't you tell him you were pregnant?" Tatiana asked me. She was using her queen voice.
"I thought it was for the best. At that time I thought, Kelly was having his child. So I was thinking why he would want to be in my kids' life, your Majesty," I said.
"Very well then," she said.
Two hours later diner was over, and the twins were in their cribs sleeping for the night. I went into my room, and changed clothes; I put on a pair of sweat pant's and a long sleeve shirt. I left my room, and went to Mia's and Eddie's since they are together. I knocked on her door. She opened, up a minute later.
"Mia, the kids are sleeping, but I was wondering if you can watch them for an hour while I run," I said.
"Sure, since they sleep through the night," she said. I handed her the baby monitor, and ran downstairs and outside to the coldness.
Most of the time, I just run, around the perimeter of the fence, As soon as I have gotten to, the second gate, the one that was behind the house, and out of sight. I felt hand around my mouth holding a cotton cloth with something wet on it. I fell into darkness.
