Well, I usually don't do this. I don't make a oneshot into a two shot but Leokat24 asked for a two shot and gave me an idea along with it. I thought it would be cute so I decided to go with it. If you have an idea and you think of something cute and fluffy to go along with just suggest it and I will consider making a oneshot or even a two shot out of it and it will be dedicated to you.
Leokat24 (Thanks for the idea :D)
Dimitri would watch as Rose's chest would rise up and down with every even breath that she took. She looked absolutely peacefully and calm. She also looked tired and Dimitri couldn't imagine how hard it would be to carry around a child for nine months. Sure, he was a guardian who was trained for everything and anything. He could kill Strigoi, he could last two days without sleep in order to protect his Moroi but he couldn't imagine carrying a child. That is something that women have to endure and something that he thought that made women stronger than men. Not that he would admit it.
He then turned his attention towards the little girl that he and Rose created who's resting in her mother's arms. He held onto his family and smiled. The atmosphere was still and comfortable. It was quiet and the only sound that was heard was the soft noises of the TV. Nobody was watching it but it just added to the comfortable silence. Even though there wasn't much talking to be done or even anything to do he was content. He didn't want to watch TV since he was busy watching his family. He wasn't bored because he knew that he was doing something even though he wasn't doing anything. With his free hand he stroked his wife's stomach once more.
Knowing that a piece of him was in there was beyond his wild expectations. He learned that sometimes it's better not to question to good just go with it. And he was going to do just that, just enjoy the fact that they could have children and that they were the most beautiful children that he's ever seen. Not only because they were his but because there was a miracle light had that surrounded Lillie and he knew that it would surround the baby boy that Rose was expecting because they were that. A miracle!
"Daddy." Lillie whispered lifting her head to see the hand that kept rubbing her mother's stomach. She saw the hand was connected to an arm that was connected to a shoulder that was connected to her daddy. Lillie turned her tiny body around to study her father intently. She yawned and rubbed her eyes tiredly with her chubby hands but made no movement to get up.
"I'm here." Dimitri replied dropping his hand from Rose's stomach to stroke his daughter's brown hair. Her head rolled softly to rest on Dimitri's stomach so she could try to go back to sleep but the thing was she couldn't sleep anymore. She's slept as much as she would in a week all in one day. Her body wasn't use to it but it wanted it making her head feel really weird.
"Daddy no bye bye?" Lillie asked lifting her head up to look at his brown eyes. He smiled at her lovingly and shook his head.
"No." He whispered, careful not to wake up his sleeping wife.
"I tired." Lillie announced sitting up in the bed only to find that she was in a sandwich between her mother and father. She crawled up the small space between her father and mother to sit close to Dimitri's underarm.
"Go back to sleep." Dimitri said cupping his daughter's smooth cheek in his big, rough, callused hand as he caressed the side of her face with his thumb. Lillie leaned against his father's touch and warmth. She raised her arms towards him indicating that she wanting to be in his arms. He unwrapped his arm from Rose's shoulder he leaned forward, picking her up. Immediately she rested her head on his chest taking in the warmth that his body gave.
"No." she murmured burying her face in her father's chest wrapping her arms around his waist but not succeeding to go all the way around since her arms were so small. Her hands didn't even reach his back.
"Want to get something to eat?" Dimitri asked dropping a kiss on top of her head.
"No." Lillie answered again making Dimitri grunt playfully because she was refusing everything that she usually did when she just woke up from her naps. He placed his hands on her back and rubbed it in a fast motion making her giggle since it tickled.
"Now there's the famous Lillie smile that I live for." He whispered bringing her up to his face to press a kiss on his forehead. Deciding that he wanted to bond with Lille he swung his legs off of the mattress placing his feet on the ground. He looked over to see Rose still asleep and snuggled up in a ball. A position that she would sleep in when she's pregnant. She slept the same way when Lillie was about to be born and he smiled knowing that the baby will come any minute.
"Mommy sleepy." Lillie said with smile bringing her single pointer finger to her mouth making a 'shh' noise telling her dad to be quiet. He laughed quietly making Lillie's eyes grow wide and put an emphasis on her 'shh'. He held his lips tight trying not to smile or laugh but he wasn't succeeding. Walking over to Rose's side of the bed he grabbed the cover her body she can gain warmth from the covers instead of the family that just left the room in order to let her sleep.
Closing the door behind him Dimitri and Lillie headed towards the living room. He set her down in the middle of the living room floor and pulled some toys that belong to her from the corner of the room where Lissa would keep them. Lillie grabbed a toy, held up to her face and just stared at it. Dimitri looked down at her with his arms crossed as Lillie looked up to see her father. She turned her attention back to the toy and tilted her head before setting it back down just sitting there staring at everything in the room with a weary expression.
"What's wrong Lillie?" Dimitri asked sitting down next to Lillie. She looked at his sudden movement and reached over placing her hands on his knees trying to stand up. Succeeding, only because she had support, she took several steps towards Dimitri and settled on his lap. Moving his legs, Dimitri crossed his legs creating space for her to sit there. He placed both hands on her tiny waist as she reached to grab the toy Dimitri gave her and settled with her back against his torso.
"I tired." She repeated what she had said earlier. Dimitri nodded leaning forward to play with toy that Lillie held in her hands. He would grab it and place it on her stomach.
"Look," Dimitri is in a squeaky voice making it sound extremely funny since the tone didn't make harmony with this Russian accent. "I am going to eat you."
He rubbed her stomach with the toy as she let out a squeal. She squirmed in his hold and tried to push away the toy with all of her might but Dimitri is stronger. He stayed put with toy on her stomach making her laugh even more. Dimitri just knew his little girl, just like Rose did. She knew how to make her giggle, how to squeal, and how make her laugh.
"Daddy." She squealed making him laugh. "You silly."
"I'm silly?" he asked dropping the toy making Lillie turn to look at him. He placed a tiny hand on his cheek and patted it playfully grinning from ear to ear. He leaned forward placing his forehead against his nuzzling her nose against his.
"You silly." She repeated against and Dimitri swooped down placing both hands on her waist pulling her to his face as he made a motion to lay down. He threw her in the air and caught her effortlessly staying eye to eye.
"I'm silly?" He questioned once again making her giggle.
"Again." She said placing both of her hands on her stomach just staring at him with her head tilted. Dimitri bent his arms and threw her in the air once again and caught her effortlessly making her squeal. Lillie tilted her head looking down the hallway and her grin grew bigger, if that was possible.
"Hi Mommy!" She said greeting Rose, who was standing in the hallway making Dimitri look in that direction to smile at her before turning his attention back to Lillie. "Again."
"No, not again." Dimitri teased her bringing her down to kiss his daughter's forehead softly. She just slapped his cheek with her tiny hand with a dent creating between her forehead in concentration and frustration. Dimitri just kept laughing at how stubborn Lillie is and could be.
"Again." She demanded softly.
"Ok," Dimitri agreed throwing his head back to look at Rose who was just standing there in the hallway with her arms crossed rubbing her eyes tiredly since she just woke up from her nap. "But only one more time."
"Time." Lillie agreed nodding her head as a smile spread across her face in anticipation for her lift. Dimitri lifted her once again and she threw her hands up in the air giggling like a crazy person but she enjoyed every minute of it. Dimitri placed Lillie on his chest so she kept looking down to stare at him. Rose walked up to the duo and sat down next to them. Dimitri turned to look at her and placed a hand on her lower back and rubbed it softly. She smiled reaching down to grab his hand intertwining with hers.
"Mommy." She said with an excited tone bouncing slightly as she was on Dimitri's chest looking at her mother with an excited face. "You see! I fly!"
"I saw baby." Rose said with a smile leaning over to stroke Lillie's hair lovingly. She swung her leg over throwing herself at her mother which Rose caught her effortlessly making Dimitri sit up quickly looking concern.
"Lille," He scolded making Lille look over at Dimitri. "Be careful. You almost hit your mom."
"Dimitri," Rose started to protest knowing that Dimitri was going to scold or lecture Lillie but Lillie didn't think anything of it. She just scrunched her eyebrows in confusion tilting her head looking at Dimitri.
"Full?" She questioned placing her hands on her stomach. Dimitri smiled and shook his head. She was adorable. When he said be careful she understood full as in food full. Lillie is smart for her age but some people do forget that she's just a baby or toddler. She could and would understand half of things her parents would say to her but sometimes it was as if it went over her head.
"No," Dimitri said softly bringing Lillie into his lap making her turn her head to look at him as he looked down looking as compassionate as ever. He looked fatherly firm and serious yet soft and tender. Rose smiled at them seeing the bond that they had together.
"I meant be careful with your mommy's tummy. You have a baby brother in there that you need to protect. You have to make sure you don't hit it so you won't hurt him." Dimitri explained placing his chin on Lillie's shoulder explaining in her ear. Lillie's brown eyes did not Rose's stomach once with her eyes shining. It was the first time that she's noticed that her mom's tummy got really big.
"Baby?" she asked smiling turning to look at Dimitri smiling.
"Yeah, baby." Rose answered rubbing her suddenly sore stomach. Lillie turned her head to look at her mom with excitement. She was finally going get someone that could play with her. She could finally have someone call her a big sister. She was going to have to be the responsible one and she was excited for a baby brother.
Lille placed both of her hands on Dimitri's knees and supported herself in order to stand up. She placed one foot in front of another and then let go walking towards across the short distance towards her mother. Rose opened her arms out to her baby girl and hugged her close looking at Dimitri with wide, excited eyes.
"Our baby took her first steps." Rose exclaimed happily watching Dimitri who just wore a permanent smile on his face. He just nodded but his eyes betrayed him as they looked just as excited as Rose was acting. He scooted forward to sit next to Rose with thighs touching. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders bringing her close to him. Their sides pressed together. Dimitri rubbed Rose's upper arms as Lillie pulled away from the embrace. She took a step back placing her hands on Rose's stomach just staring at it.
"Baby." She whispered with both hands on her tummy. Rose nodded at her cupping her baby's cheek rubbing it lovingly. Suddenly the baby kicked in Rose's stomach right under Lillie's hand. Rose turned her head to look at the love of her life.
"He kicked." She mumbled happily. Dimitri immediately pressed his hand against her stomach trying to feel it kick. Once again it kicked making Rose wince and Lille feel it again. Her eyes grew wide and she leaned back slightly. She lifted her shirt up looking down to look at her stomach. She pressed a hand to her stomach trying to feel it kick. Although both parents were trying to feel the baby kick once more they looked amused as Lillie kept poking her stomach to feel the bump that her mother had in her stomach. The baby boy in Rose's stomach kicked a third time and this time right under Dimitri's hand. He jumped slightly looking completely happy and blissful.
"That's our baby boy telling us that he loves us." Rose translated with a smile playing on her face and tears filling her eyes. Dimitri smiled yet another time and reached out cupping Rose's cheeks bringing her face close to hers. He placed his lips on hers giving her a simple yet short kiss. A tiny hand collided with the Russian man's cheek making him flinch back slightly. He pulled back slightly to look at his daughter with her puckered lips.
"You want a kiss too?" He asked making her nod brining her into his arms. She giggled but accepted all the kisses that her father was placing on her face. She looked at Rose and reached out to her when Dimitri paused his kisses on her face, leaning back taking a deep breath.
"Kiss." She said to her mother. Rose laughed and brought chest to place kisses all over her face just like her father just did. She giggled then pulled back turning around sitting on her mother's lap leaning on her stomach. She kissed her stomach lightly then giggled.
"Baby." She squealed placing another kiss on her swollen stomach.
"Well, if it isn't the loving Belikov family." Abe said walking into the room with Janine right in tow. Janine closed the door and Abe stood there looking as extravagant as ever. Lillie bounced out of Rose's lap standing up and walked over to Abe. He smiled and bent down opening his arms for his granddaughter who had a smile written on her face. Once she arrived into Abe's arms he wrapped his arm around her tiny body and picked her up.
"I think we need to get a new lock on the door." Rose mumbled tucking her head into Dimitri's neck. He just chuckled looking at Abe and Janine talking to Lillie. His eyes soon grew wide when he felt Rose place slow, sensual kisses on his neck. He may be more comfortable with showing affection towards Rose in front of her family and friends along with his family as well but his private nature wouldn't let him enjoy this as much as he usually would.
Rose pulled her head back as she felt Dimitri's body language go stiff and she smirked at him. She succeeded what she wanted to do. She wanted revenge for what he did to her that morning so when Lillie ran to her grandparents it gave Rose a perfect opportunity to act. Dimitri stared at her wide eyed but there was some lust and want in his eyes making Rose blush.
Rose then turned her head over to look at her parents with a smile trying to forget that gaze that Dimitri just shot her. Her face soon grew tender as she watched her parents interact with her daughter. She realized that it wasn't until a few years ago that they actually took action in her life. She's never known her dad but from what she's heard from her mother is that he's always had tabs on her. So in a way he did take care of her even if he wasn't there physically.
"You're walking!" Rose heard Abe say as he rocked Lillie in his arms. "And I heard that you were sick."
"I no sick." Lillie said clapping her hands together scrunching her eyebrows together creating a dent in between her eyebrows making Abe laugh and Janine roll her eyes and look at Rose with a knowing smile.
"Oh no?" Abe teased her pressing a kiss on her cheek. Janine ruffled her hair and walked over to where her daughter and her son in law were sitting. She sat there in front of them with her legs crossed and a smile on her face.
"So are couches overrated?" Janine asked playfully.
"No," Rose answered leaning back placing her hands behind her. "We were just playing around with Lillie."
"You got out of the convention as well?" Janine asked turning his attention towards Dimitri pushing him slightly and playfully. He let out a chuckle. Lissa mentioned at the airport as they were about to leave that she got Janine out of the convention as well since she knew Rose's condition. She thought that is she did give birth that she would want her mother and husband there for her.
"Benefits of knowing the queen." Dimitri joked standing up offering a hand to Janine so she could stand up. She gladly accepted it and stood up as well. Dimitri then turned his attention to his wife. He leaned down and helped her up careful and fully aware of how she struggled. Once she stood on her two feel she leaned against Dimitri who just kissed her on the temple.
"I know what you mean." Janine said to him making him turn his attention to his wife's mother. "She got me out of the convention too. I was glad because my grandbaby could be born any minute now." With that she walked over to Rose placing a kiss on her forehead and then rubbed her stomach. Rose tilted her head and looked at her mother with an adoring smile. Then she shook her head.
"Being pregnant makes me too skippy and happy yet I get a lot of attention and food." Rose teased. "It's a win lose situation."
"Speaking of food." Abe said resting Lillie on his hip as she kept playing with the scarf that Abe always had. "Anyone want to go get ice cream? It's on me."
"And a doughnut?" Rose asked making her eyes turn into slits as she looked at her father. He had a mysterious smile on his face. He looked up and pretended to think about it. He moved his head then looked over to see his granddaughter still playing with her scarf.
"Do you think your mommy deserves a doughnut with her ice cream?" He asked Lillie rubbing her stomach to bring her full attention to the question that he asked. She looked at her mommy with a mischievous smile bringing a chubby hand to her chin tapping her finger on her chin thoughtfully. She looked at her grandfather again then back at her mom.
"No," she stated looking at Abe. "She ickled me."
"I guess you heard it from her." Abe said clicking her tongue. "No doughnut for you."
"Ahh," Rose said opening her mouth with a pretend surprised face. She nodded her head; bit her lip the started walking towards her daughter and father. She placed her hands on her stomach and started to tickle her child in Abe's arms. She squirmed in his arms before throwing herself at her mother. Rose placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Do you get a doughnut now?" She asked her and Lillie shook her head.
"How about now?" she asked placing another kiss on her forehead and she shook her head. Rose looked back to see her parents standing there watching the interaction between both of them. They were proud at what Rose is and what she is becoming. She is a strong, beautiful, independent, sarcastic and loving all in one. She is a kick ass guardian and she is a great mother. How could one person be so great? It is beyond unbelievable.
"I guess no junk food for you." Abe said shrugging his shoulders teasingly walking towards the couch and sat there.
"Oh," Rose said turning around pointing a finger at Abe. "I'll get her to agree with me."
"Sure you will." Abe said rolling his eyes.
"I will old man and you will owe me five doughnuts." Rose announced. "I'm just going to get changed so we can go for ice cream and hopefully some doughnuts."
With that Rose disappeared down the hall and to her bedroom so she could change out of her pajamas and tame her bed hair. She needed to change Lillie out of her pajamas and try to convince that ragamuffin into letting her eat some doughnuts. Even if it is the last thing that she will do!
Rose walked out of the hallway baby less and in some jeans. She pulled her hair in a high ponytail and made the three of them turn their heads towards her upon her arrival. Dimitri smiled when he saw his wife's hair up in a ponytail showing off all of her marks and looking calm, young, and well rested although they knew the truth. She hasn't slept very well since she was pregnant and since the baby would always move around. Abe smiled at his daughter taking in her appearance from head to toe. She had this natural glow to her face. A glow that most expectant mothers had making their beauty be enhanced.
"We're going for ice cream not going to a party" Abe said teasingly watching as Rose carefully sat down on the couch next to Dimitri. He turned to look at her smiling proudly at how his wife looked. Beautiful yet simple. Not able to resist himself her wrapped an arm around his shoulder pressing her against his side. He pressed a kiss on her forehead.
"I didn't dress up like I usually do, old man." Rose shot back playfully glaring at him.
"Yeah, she looks great but that ponytail looks a little too sexy for my liking." Janine said looking at Rose shaking her head playfully as she leaned forward giving her a knowing, playful look.
"Lillie said no." Rose announced sadly. "She said that I get no doughnut so I was thinking maybe I could seduce my husband into buying me a few."
With that she squinted her eyes seductively at Dimitri who just stared at her not knowing what to do. He looked torn then looked back at her parents then turned to look at her. She tilted her head to get a better look at Dimitri. He was caught between the rock and a sword and he knew it well. All he wanted to right then and there was to attack his wife and smother her face in kisses making her feel loved and wanted. On the other hand her parents were right there and he couldn't do that kind of thing with them right there. It wouldn't be right.
"Daddy." Lillie said walking into the living room with a yellow dress on and white sandals on her feet. She had her hands clasped around a white handbag that Janine bought for her when they hung out. "I look pretty."
"Of course you do." Dimitri managed to choke out getting off of the couch squatting down to Lillie's size. She walked up to him and he pressed a kiss on her cheek while she opened and closed the little handbag in her hands. Dimitri turned to look at Rose who was just staring down at her hands while she played with it.
"Let's go." Abe said getting off of the couch as everyone followed.
Abe and Janine were at the counter getting Lillie her ice cream despite Rose's protests. Abe argued that she looked fine and that she at least deserved a little bit of ice cream. Not in the mood to argue Rose just let go of the matter and just sat there in her seat with her arms crossed as she leaned back looking at her family as they were picking out ice cream. Suddenly she realized that Dimitri was nowhere in sight. She turned her head back to see if she saw him but she didn't.
"Hello beautiful." Dimitri said coming up from behind Rose. She turned her head to look at Dimitri who was just smiling leaning above her. He leaned down placing a kiss on her lips before leaning back placing a pink box in front of her. She looked at the box in front of her with a confused look.
"For me?" Rose asked looking back at Dimitri who had a smile on his face and rolled his eyes. He pulled a chair out pulling it close to her sitting right next to her.
"Of course it is for you." Dimitri said placing a hand on her thigh. Rose looked up to see him and smiled tiredly. She then reached out towards the box excited to see what was in it. Reaching in she pulled out a doughnut turning to look at Dimitri.
"That's so nice." Rose cooed cupping his chin with her hand pulling him close to place another kiss on his lips before taking an excited bite out of the doughnut. There was nothing compared to the first taste of the doughnut.
"Roza," Dimitri said pulling Rose out of her sweet bliss as she turned to look at him as adoration filled his eyes. "You don't ever have to seduce me for anything. You can just ask because I will do anything, anything, to make you happy. If you wanted the moon I will find out a way to et it for you because I love you."
"You're going to make me cry." Rose said trying to accuse him pushing him slightly before wiping her eyes as she leaning back against her seat just staring at him. "I don't know how I got so lucky to be stuck with you. I love you too Dimitri."
"It's not luck." Dimitri said cupping her face as she just stared at him with loving eyes. "It's fate."
"That's cheesy." Rose commented reaching towards Dimitri as he leaned towards her as well leaning his forehead against hers just gazing into her eyes that seemed to sparkle. Especially since she got her doughnut in her stomach and was satisfied.
"Mommy. Choco eam." Lillie said in Janine's arms holding up her small ice cream cone that looked like chocolate. Rose smiled at her baby as Lillie reached out for her mother. Abe handed Lillie over to Rose and Lillie just adjusted herself in her lap and leaned against the table. With one hand on the table she used the other hand to hold up her ice cream as she licked it happily.
The foursome just started to make small talk as Lillie raced to finish her melting ice cream. Not being able to succeed in eating her ice cream it melted all over her hand and every time she went to lick it, her mouth was covered in ice cream. Dimitri suddenly looked down to see her struggling with her ice cream. He reached over and grabbed the cone licking it clean then handed it back to Lillie.
"No daddy." Lillie said crossing her arms across her chest and leaning against Rose.
"Why?" Dimitri asked thinking that she didn't want her ice cream because he licked it all over. Dimitri looked at her body language thinking that she was angry with him and she was just being a diva.
"I cold." Lilli said snuggling into her mother's warmth making Rose look down and wrap her arms around her body. She didn't feel cold. She felt really warm. Reached for her cell phone that was in her pocket in her jeans she noticed that she is due for more medicine.
"She doesn't feel cold." Rose commented to her husband and he looked at her with a concerned, sympathetic face. Reaching over he placed the back of his hand on her forehead to feel her temperature. He looked up to see Rose's tired eyes and he just nodded confirming the fact that she did have a fever.
"Come here." Dimitri said to Lillie as she turned around to her dad. She raised her arms and he grabbed her holding her to his chest. She just rested her head on his shoulder curling up into a ball to warm up. Dimitri stood up and looked at his wife's parents with an apologetic look. Rose stood up putting her hands on the table as she braced herself.
"We're going to take her home." Dimitri explained gesturing Lillie. "You guys could join us if you like."
"No," Abe said then looked at Rose feeling bad since he realized that he sounded mean. "I've got to do some…things. You guys should go and attend your daughter having some peace and quiet in your home."
"I'm going to have to agree with Abe." Janine said looking at the girl at was curled up in Dimitri's arms looking completely miserable. Her eyes were droopy and she kept yawning sadly. She whimpered feeling suddenly sick and Rose looked at Dimitri with knowing eyes. She knew that if she had some ice cream it would make her feel sick.
"We'll see you later." Rose announced looking at her parents that didn't move from their seats and waved at the family.
"No good." Lillie murmured as she rubbed her eyes tiredly. Rose rubbed her back soothingly as she rubbed her own eyes. Being nine months pregnant and passing her due date was taking a toll on her. She was now carrying a full grown baby. Sure, she was a Dhampir and still stronger than most humans but she wasn't used to all of this weight added to her everyday life.
"You look like you need a nap too." Dimitri commented shifting Lillie over to another side supporting her with one hand while his other one went around her shoulders pulling her close as the trio walked home. Rose nodded against his side and wrapped her arm around his waist burying her head into his side.
"I need one." Rose commented pulling her head away from his side to look at his face and he turned to look at her. "I just don't want to take one since I just got up."
"You are about to pop a baby any minute." Dimitri said slightly joking but was completely serious. "Your body is telling you that you need to rest and you need to listen to it."
"How was I going to take care of Lillie by myself?" Rose asked him seriously standing in front of their house that they shared with Christian and Lissa. "How was I going to manage a child with my being as tired as I am right now?"
"You're Rose." Dimitri said simply watching as Rose pulled the keys into view, slipping it into the slot hole. "You would've found a way to make it work. You're wonderful like that."
"Still," Rose said twisting the door knob opening the door for the trio. "I'm glad you came back."
"I'm happy to be of assistance." Dimitri said kissing the side of her head as they stepped into the house. "Where's her medicine?"
"On the counter." Rose said pointing towards the counter as she headed towards the room. Dimitri walked into the kitchen with Lillie still in his arms as she picked up the bottle of medicine. He held it up to his face only to see that she was supposed to give her one tablespoon. He grabbed the tablespoon, the medicine and went to his room.
"You change quick." Dimitri said closing the door of his room. She saw as Rose was sitting on the edge of the bed in one of Dimitri's shirts and her pajama pants. She looked up and smiled at him then it slowly disappeared as she saw the medicine in his hands.
"You know what I realized." Rose said thoughtfully. "I left my box of doughnuts on the table."
"I'll get you a fresh box in the morning. But right now I kinda need help." He said sheepishly holding up the medicine. Rose curled a finger telling him that she should come over. He walked over to the bed sitting down next to Rose. He placed Lillie on her lap only to find out that she was almost passed out. She opened her eyes at the sudden movement and both parents waited her crying but she didn't cry. She just looked to see her dad as he poured the nasty tasting stuff to s spoon.
"Here you go." Dimitri said bringing the spoonful of medicine up to her lips. She squeezed them shut and shook her head at him.
"No." Lillie said in a tired tone. "Nasty."
"Hey baby." Rose said stroking the hair on top of her head making Lillie turn to look at her mother. "Remember that you felt better when you drank some of that stuff?"
"Nasty." She still said furrowing her eye brows together as she stared at both of her parents.
"If you drink it Daddy will get you some juice instead of milk." Dimitri proposed knowing that Rose didn't like giving Lillie juice since all of the sugar in it would make the little girl hyper and not able to sleep. He figured that she was so tired that she'll be out like a light with or without the juice. Lillie twisted her lips in consideration at the proposal. She was a smart little girl and she knew how to get what she wanted and now that Dimitri brought it up she wanted juice.
"Ok." She mumbled and opened her mouth waiting for the spoonful of the nasty tasting stuff to fill her mouth. Once it was in her mouth she swallowed it and started to cry. It burned her throat since it hurt plus it was nasty. Dimitri then took her into his arms and walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen to get her some of the juice.
"It's okay." Dimitri soothed rocking her softly as she curled up in his chest. "You can go to sleep now."
He found the supplies that he needed in the kitchen effortlessly and headed back to the bedroom to see Rose walking towards him with her arms extended out towards him. Dimitri knew immediately that she wanted Lillie but the way that she looked she knew that she wasn't going to last very long.
"Honey," Dimitri said pressed a kiss to her lips. "Go to sleep. I've got it handled."
"You sure?" she asked with a yawn. He nodded with a smile and rocked the little girl. Rose nodded as well and waddled her way towards the bed. She sat down and rested on it. Dimitri rubbed Lillie's back as he hummed and Lille felt the hum's vibrations in his chest making her calm. She blinked slowly until she had no more energy to blink her eyes feeling safe and warm in him arms. Walking towards the rocking chair that was located near the crib he sat down and cradled her.
She snuggled against his stomach as Dimitri felt her dead weight indicating that she fell asleep. She yawned a final time as she drifted off to the world of dreams. Dimitri looked at his little angel and stroked the side of her face softly as she slept. With a tender, warm face he just smiled at her then lifted his head to look at his other angel sleeping in the bed.
With both of his girls asleep Dimitri rested his head on the head rest of the rocker. He closed his eyes as well content with just holding his child in his arms. She was as safe as can be and he wanted to protect her just as much as he would protect Rose and the baby boy that is going to be there any minute.
Little did he know that he fell asleep. He didn't know that he slept but he found out as the little girl in his arms stirred and patted his arm trying to wake him up. He opened his eyes and looked down to see Lillie wide awake just staring at him with her big doe eyes and a wide smile on his face. He turned his head to look at the digital clock that is located on the bedside table. Noticing that they all took a nap for three hours he turned his attention back to Lillie.
"I no tired." She announced happily.
"That's good." Dimitri said sitting her up in his lap and she smiled at him as well.
"I no sick no more." She told him as well and he brought her up and kissed her smooth cheek. "I ove you daddy."
"I love you too Lille." Dimitri said with a smile on his face. He was glad that he was here for her baby girl and his wife when they were in need. He can't be without them just as they can't be without him.
